This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Ancient, Early Christian, and Medieval Painting IN the study of painting, as in so many other studies, the critical and historical spirit of our age continues to be ever more and more actively at work. Since we have learnt to realise how large and vital a part of the genius of the past survives in the images of the painter, the labours of many industrious inquirers have been constantly directed towards the solution of chronological, personal, and technical problems connected with every period and phase of the art. At the same time, the inherent attraction of the subject has drawn towards it a constantly increasing measure of popular interest and curiosity. Hence there has made itself felt the need of an adequate general History of Painting, in which the scattered results of research should be collected and set forth for the benefit alike of the student and the general reader.

Download or read book Early Christian Art in Ireland Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Margaret Stokes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Christian Art in Ireland, Vol. 1 The subject of the following chapters is what has been often mis-named Celtic, anglo-saxon, or Runic Art, whereas the style is Irish. The term Celtic belongs to the arts of bronze and gold and enamel practised in Britain before the Roman occupa tion, and in Ireland before the introduction of Christianity in the fifth century. It also embraces the great stone forts that line the western coasts of the country, such as Dun Aengus and Dun Conor, as well as the chambered tombs of New Grange. The late Celtic style in Great Britain, the bronzes of which are marked by distinct characteristics in decoration, prevailed from about two hundred years before the birth of Christ to the time of the Roman occupation. It lingered to a much later date in Ireland. Early Celtic goes back much farther into a pre historic region in which we cannot trace similar peculiarities of decorative design. The early Christian Art of Ireland may well be termed Scotic as well as Irish, just as the first missionaries from Ireland to the Continent were termed Scots, Ireland having borne the name of Scotia for many centuries before it was trans ferred to North Britain; and foreign chroniclers of the ninth century speak of Hibernia, island of the Scots, when referring to events in Ireland regarding which corresponding entries are found in the annals of that countryfi.

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Early Christian Art written by Robin M. Jensen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-20 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Early Christian Art surveys a broad spectrum of Christian art produced from the late second to the sixth centuries. The first part of the book opens with a general survey of the subject and then presents fifteen essays that discuss specific media of visual art—catacomb paintings, sculpture, mosaics, gold glass, gems, reliquaries, ceramics, icons, ivories, textiles, silver, and illuminated manuscripts. Each is written by a noted expert in the field. The second part of the book takes up themes relevant to the study of early Christian art. These seven chapters consider the ritual practices in decorated spaces, the emergence of images of Christ’s Passion and miracles, the functions of Christian secular portraits, the exemplary mosaics of Ravenna, the early modern history of Christian art and archaeology studies, and further reflection on this field called “early Christian art.” Each of the volume’s chapters includes photographs of many of the objects discussed, plus bibliographic notes and recommendations for further reading. The result is an invaluable introduction to and appraisal of the art that developed out of the spread of Christianity through the late antique world. Undergraduate and graduate students of late classical, early Christian, and Byzantine culture, religion, or art will find it an accessible and insightful orientation to the field. Additionally, professional academics, archivists, and curators working in these areas will also find it valuable as a resource for their own research, as well as a textbook or reference work for their students.
Download or read book The Golden Age of Classic Christian Art Classic Reprint written by Jean Paul Richter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Golden Age of Classic Christian Art This study is an attempt to appreciate a large and homogeneous group of classic pictures from the points of view of art, archaeology, and theology, from each of which aspects they are of unique value. The date of the great pictorial cycle of mosaics decorating the interior of the basilica of S. Maria Maggiore, Rome, has been hitherto universally accepted as fixed by the inscription on the Arch, as of the fifth century therefore. At the commencement of our studies we accepted this natural and apparently well-established conclusion; but on com paring the pictures in question with the works of art of the fifth century, both pictorial and plastic, and the theology they embody, with that of the great fifth-century theologians, Jerome and Augustine, we found that their artistic affinities were with the more classic art of the Antonines and their successors, and that the theology they clearly re ect was that of the age of the Apologists. Our work, which was considerably advanced before this opinion grew into a conviction, had to be thrown on one side therefore, and our studies recommenced from a new standpoint. Nor was the task on which we were embarking an easy one, as it was necessary to both project and design the path through the country which we were hereafter to explore as pioneers. The first principles underlying the critical analysis of the pictorial material had to be discovered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monuments of Early Christian Art: Sculptures and Catacomb Paintings; Illustrative Notes, Collected in Order to Promote the Reproduction of Remains of Art Belonging to the Early Centuries of the Christian Era In our own time much has been done to throw fresh light upon the Christian monuments of the first centuries, the attention of archaeologists having been again strongly directed to the history of the Catacombs. Under the auspices of Pius the Ninth, and mainly under the direction of the well known investigator of subterranean Rome, Giovanni Battista de' Rossi, new excavations have been carried on, which have led to important results, the most important, in fact, since the days of Bosio. The Christian Museum in the Lateran Palace has likewise been founded by Pope Pius the Ninth and this collection, systematically arranged by the late Father Giuseppe Marchi, forms now a centre of sacred antiquities to which we have first to turn in order to study the characteristics of early Christian' art. It contains the most complete series of Christian sculptures; for those have been removed to it which were formerly in the Vatican.

The recent discovery at Delphi of an inscription which is said to prove that Gallio was Proconsul of Achaia in a.d. 52, confirms in a very satisfactory way the chronology advocated in the fourteenth paper of this volume (differing only in one or two very slight details from that adopted in St. Paul tile Travel/er). If Gallio was Proconsul in 52, it can hardly be doubted that the eighteen months of Paul's residence in Corinth extended from Autumn 51 to Spring 53.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and the Roman Empire It is not possible to discuss so intricate a subject without assuming some knowledge on the part of the reader. But it is believed that a very elemen tary acquaintance with the familiar facts of general history will make this little work intelligible. For the sake of those who may desire some introduction to the early Christian writers, but may only have access to translations such as are contained in the ante-nicene Christian Library, the chief works are cited by their English titles. In the Appendices an attempt has been made to supply such information concerning the principal persons whose names appear in these pages, as will enable the reader to refer them without difficulty to their proper date, locality, and school of thought.

This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Early Christian Literature in the First Three Centuries This book differs from the more recent handbooks on Patrology, both Catholic and Protestant, not only in many details of its conception of the subject, but in its arrangement and limitation of the treatment. It has been my special purpose to emphasize the literary point of view, since a history of literature has no occasion to explain the theological or ecclesiastical importance of a writer. I have also endeavored to substitute an organic method of treatment in place of a mechanical sequence based on chronology and biography, though I dare not hope that I have realized the ideal that has hovered before me. In my manner of conceiving of the sub ject I have adhered to the views expounded by Friedrich Nitzsch, now professor of Systematic Theology at Kiel, and by Franz Overbeck, professor of Church History at Basel (cf. I). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
