Universidad de Cantabria. This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El álbum de dibujos y grabados de joyas titulado como Bijoux anciens se encuentra entre los fondos Rari de laBiblioteca di Archeologia e Storia dell'Arte de Roma (BiASA). Es un único volumen, aparentemente inédito, en el que se compilan dos manuscritos donde se recogen trescientos cuarenta y cinco diseños de joyas en papel de distintas dimensiones y tipologías. Las alhajas representadas son de ámbito femenino y tienen naturaleza civil. Fueron dibujadas entre finales del siglo XVII y comienzos del XIX, siendo en su inmensa mayoría ejemplares del siglo XVIII. En esta publicación se reproducen la mayoría de los diseños del álbum romano, presentándose algunas analogías con fondos gráficos coetáneos italianos conservados en Europa y Estados Unidos. Además, se repasan y apuntan cuestiones fundamentales para el estudio de la Historia de la Joyería incardinadas sobre todo con el ámbito italiano, donde resultan especialmente interesantes debido a la escasez de joyas conservadas de la Edad Moderna.

Esta es una historia de la codicia y la belleza a través de las gemas más hermosas y perfectas del mundo.
Reinas, emperadores, princesas, multimillonarios, actrices o socialités poseyeron joyas como el Diamante Hope, la Perla Peregrina, el Koh-i-Noor, El Regente, la tiara perdida de los Romanov o el collar de María Antonieta, tesoros por los que el ser humano no ha dudado en traicionar, robar, asesinar o provocar guerras y derrocamientos. Tan bellas como letales, nos han hechizado con su aura de misterio y fatalidad.
Fruto de la codicia de las personas y de su extraordinaria rareza y escasez, estas joyas han sobrevivido a revoluciones, incendios y saqueos, pero en su periplo a través de los siglos ha recaído sobre ellas una leyenda negra que en realidad nos habla del lado más oscuro del ser humano.
Bienvenidos a la historia de estos símbolos de poder excepcionales y de las personas que las atesoraron, protagonistas de extraordinarios relatos de ambición y de la búsqueda incansable de pureza, perfección y belleza que nos inspira o nos consuela; testimonios aparentemente silenciosos que nos hablan sobre la condición humana.

Download or read book Francisco L pez de G mara s General History of the Indies written by and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2024-01-02 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is the first English translation of the entire text of part one of sixteenth-century Spanish historian Francisco López de Gómara’s General History of the Indies. Including substantial critical annotations and providing access to various readings and passages added to or removed from the successive editions of the 1550s, this translation expands the archive of texts available to English speakers reconsidering the various aspects of the European invasion of America. General History of the Indies was the first universal history of the recent discoveries and conquests of the New World made available to the Old World audience. At publication it consisted of two parts: the first a general history of the European discovery, conquest, and settlement of the Americas, and the second a detailed description of Cortés’s conquest of Mexico. Part one—in the multiple Spanish editions and translations into Italian and French published at the time—was the most comprehensive, popular, and accessible account of the natural history and geography of the Americas, the ethnology of the peoples of the New World, and the history of the Spanish conquest, including the most recent developments in Peru. Despite its original and continued importance, however, it had never been translated into English. Gómara’s history communicates Europeans’ general understanding of the New World throughout the middle and later sixteenth century. A lively, comparatively brief description of Europe’s expansion into the Americas with significant importance to today’s understanding of the early modern worldview, Francisco López de Gómara’s General History of the Indies will be of great interest to students of and specialists in Latin American history, Latin American literature, anthropology, and cultural studies, as well as specialists in Spanish American intellectual history and colonial Latin America.
Download or read book Jewels written by Victoria Finlay and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2007-08-14 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, precious stones have inspired passions and poetry, quests and curses, sacred writings and unsacred actions. In this scintillating book, journalist Victoria Finlay embarks on her own globe-circling search for the real stories behind some of the gems we prize most. Blending adventure travel, geology, exciting new research, and her own irresistible charm, Finlay has fashioned a treasure hunt for some of the most valuable, glamorous, and mysterious substances on earth. With the same intense curiosity and narrative flair she displayed in her widely-praised book Color, Finlay journeys from the underground opal churches of outback Australia to the once pearl-rich rivers of Scotland; from the peridot mines on an Apache reservation in Arizona to the remote ruby mines in the mountains of northern Burma. She risks confronting scorpions to crawl through Cleopatra’s long-deserted emerald mines, tries her hand at gem cutting in the dusty Sri Lankan city where Marco Polo bartered for sapphires, and investigates a rumor that fifty years ago most of the world’s amber was mined by prisoners in a Soviet gulag. Jewels is a unique and often exhilarating voyage through history, across cultures, deep into the earth’s mantle, and up to the glittering heights of fame, power, and wealth. From the fabled curse of the Hope Diamond, to the disturbing truths about how pearls are cultured, to the peasants who were once executed for carrying amber to the centuries-old quest by magicians and scientists to make a perfect diamond, Jewels tells dazzling stories with a wonderment and brilliance truly worthy of its subjects.
