Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Zarnecki is the leading authority on English medieval sculpture. The present volume has assembled his major articles on Romanesque art published before 1979. These studies are primarily concerned with the changes that took place in English sculpture during the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and attempt to set developments in English art over this period within a European context. The volume also deals with Romanesque sculpture in France and Italy, together with metalwork and woodcarving in England, and includes a number of important iconographical studies. The author has up-dated his earlier studies to incorporate the results of subsequent research, and has augmented several studies with added bibliographical notes or references to more recent discoveries. Additional illustrations have been added where necessary, including photographs of a number of monuments which were previously unpublished.

Download or read book Romanesque Art written by Meyer Schapiro and published by New York : G. Braziller. This book was released on 1977 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This long-awaited volume, which includes much valuable material on Romanesque Art that has been unavailable for many years, will be of interest not only to students of the history of art or of medieval history and culture in general, but also to all readers concerned with the broadest problems of aesthetics, the history of ideas, and the sociology of art and religion. The first in a four-volume series of Meyer Schapiro's Selected Papers (future volumes will range from Modern Art to Early Christian and Byzantine art forms and will include papers on the Theory and Philosophy of Art), this publication embodies a number of Professor Schapiro's seminal studies of Romanesque sculptures, together with articles on manuscript art linked to those sculptures. Of particular relevance is the richly illustrated study of the sculptures of the cloister and portal in the French abbey of Moissac, which was one of the first approaches to those master works from an artistic point of view. This classic analysis is complemented by a consideration of Mozarabic and Romanesque styles in manuscript paintings and some sculptures from the Castilian abbey of Silos - a study of artistic innovation as an historical process in the context of changes in religious, social, and political life. Still another chapter treats the aesthetic response of individuals during the eleventh and twelfth centuries to Romanesque Art through a series of translated texts of that period which have an extraordinarily modern flavor. These papers are wide-ranging studies of many aspects of Romanesque Art: the forms, the expressive character, the content, the social roots, the historical moment and situation - all investigated in a searching but also imaginative way. Artistic structures are approached with the same objectivity as the documents and the archaeological data. With that graceful scholarship for which he is justly honored and admired, the author applies evidence from literature, religious texts, folklore, social and political history, epigraphy, and paleography in reconstructing and interpreting the contents of the works of art." --
Download or read book Pygmalion s Power written by Thomas E. A. Dale and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2020-01-29 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pushed to the height of its illusionistic powers during the first centuries of the Roman Empire, sculpture was largely abandoned with the ascendancy of Christianity, as the apparent animation of the material image and practices associated with sculpture were considered both superstitious and idolatrous. In Pygmalion’s Power, Thomas E. A. Dale argues that the reintroduction of architectural sculpture after a hiatus of some seven hundred years arose with the particular goal of engaging the senses in a Christian religious experience. Since the term “Romanesque” was coined in the nineteenth century, the reintroduction of stone sculpture around the mid-eleventh century has been explained as a revivalist phenomenon, one predicated on the desire to claim the authority of ancient Rome. In this study, Dale proposes an alternative theory. Covering a broad range of sculpture types—including autonomous cult statuary in wood and metal, funerary sculpture, architectural sculpture, and portraiture—Dale shows how the revitalized art form was part of a broader shift in emphasis toward spiritual embodiment and affective piety during the late eleventh and twelfth centuries. Adding fresh insight to scholarship on the Romanesque, Pygmalion’s Power borrows from trends in cultural anthropology to demonstrate the power and potential of these sculptures to produce emotional effects that made them an important sensory part of the religious culture of the era.
Download or read book Romanesque Sculpture An Ecstatic Art written by Susan Marcus and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2014-05-21 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architectural sculpture, virtually abandoned for five hundred years following the demise of the Roman Empire, was revivified on the portals of Romanesque churches in eleventh and twelfth-century France and Spain. Long overdue is a reappraisal of those images whose aesthetic of rendering the invisible visible establish them as valuable witnesses to the culture of Europe in the Middle Ages. Countless losses, mutilation through wilful destruction, centuries of accumulated grime, and a dearth of studies in English have impeded the deserved realization and appreciation of these magnificent works of art. Through illustration and illuminative interpretation, Romanesque Sculpture An Ecstatic Art fills the void by tracing the beginnings, maturation, and efflorescence of monumental sculptured facades in the short-lived Romanesque era. Depictions on them are mirrors of the age: sophisticated theological messages, monastic life, the cult of relics, pilgrimages, crusades and politics. The survey considers too the sculptors, mostly anonymous, who in adapting models from several media - both antique and current - created a unique visual vocabulary. The beauty of the sculptures comes to the fore. The stones live!

Download or read book Romanesque Patrons and Processes written by Jordi Camps and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty-five papers in this volume arise from a conference jointly organised by the British Archaeological Association and the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya in Barcelona. They explore the making of art and architecture in Latin Europe and the Mediterranean between c. 1000 and c. 1250, with a particular focus on questions of patronage, design and instrumentality. No previous studies of patterns of artistic production during the Romanesque period rival the breadth of coverage encompassed by this volume – both in terms of geographical origin and media, and in terms of historical approach. Topics range from case studies on Santiago de Compostela, the Armenian Cathedral in Jerusalem and the Winchester Bible to reflections on textuality and donor literacy, the culture of abbatial patronage at Saint-Michel de Cuxa and the re-invention of slab relief sculpture around 1100. The volume also includes papers that attempt to recover the procedures that coloured interaction between artists and patrons – a serious theme in a collection that opens with ‘Function, condition and process in eleventh-century Anglo-Norman church architecture’ and ends with a consideration of ‘The death of the patron’.

Download or read book The Nave Sculpture of V zelay written by Kirk Ambrose and published by PIMS. This book was released on 2006 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This scholarly work fundamentally changes the way we think about the monastic church of Vezelay and its sculptures. Kirk Ambrose provides a new account of the celebrated sculptural ensemble at this important French Romanesque monastic church. Whereas scholarly attention in the past has focused almost exclusively on the Pentecostal portal, Ambrose devotes most of his analysis to the nave capitals. He considers how these works intersect with various aspects of monastic culture, from poetry to a sign language used during observed periods of silence. From this study it emerges how many of the sculptures resonated with communal practices and with interpretive modes in use at the site." "Deeming the attempt to uncover an underlying or unifying program to be an anachronistic project, Ambrose explores historically specific ways this ensemble cohered for medieval viewers. Covering a range of themes, including hagiography, ornament, and violence, he develops alternative approaches for the examination of serial imagery. As a result, this book has broad implications for the study of eleventh- and twelfth-century art in the West."--BOOK JACKET.
