This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on interpretation and analysis of various visual images of John Wesley, depicted on canvas and on paper, in an effort to provide additional depths for the person who founded and maintained Methodism. A majority of Wesley's biographers, particularly those writing from the very end of the eighteenth century and through the first seven decades of the twentieth century, have, almost collectively, offered their readers an evangelical and angelic figure, preferring to ignore, for the most part, those autocratic thoughts and actions that dominated his fifty-year reign over Methodism in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Do portraits of Wesley allow for a more objective, more reasonable, view of the man? This volume provides, in discussion and reference notes, historical, biographical, bibliographical, and textual information relative to the practice of portrait painting, drawing, and engraving during the more than halfcentury of Wesley's work and influence.
Download or read book Image Identity and John Wesley written by Peter S. Forsaith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The face of John Wesley (1703–91), the Methodist leader, became one of the most familiar images in the English-speaking and transatlantic worlds through the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. After the dozen or so painted portraits made during his lifetime came numbers of posthumous portraits and moralising ‘scene paintings’, and hundreds of variations of prints. It was calculated that six million copies were produced of one print alone – an 1827 portrait by John Jackson R.A. as frontispiece for a hymn book. Illustrated by nearly one hundred images, many in colour, with a comprehensive appendix listing known Wesley images, this book offers a much-needed comprehensive and critical survey of one of the most influential religious and public figures of eighteenth-century Britain. Besides chapters on portraits from the life and after, scene paintings and prints, it explores aspects of Wesley’s (and Methodism’s) attitudes to art, and the personality cult which gathered around Wesley as Methodism expanded globally. It will be of interest to art historians as a treatment of an individual sitter and subject, as well as to scholars engaged in Wesley and Methodist studies. It is also significant for the field of material studies, given the spread and use of the image, on artefacts as well as on paper.
Download or read book The Theology of John Wesley written by Prof. Kenneth J. Collins and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich articulation of John Wesley's theology that is appreciative of the old and mindful of the new, faithful to the past and attentive to the present. This work carefully displays John Wesley's eighteenth century theology in its own distinct historical and social location, but then transitions to the twenty-first century through the introduction of contemporary issues. So conceived, the book is both historical and constructive demonstrating that the theology of Wesley represents a vibrant tradition. Cognizant of Wesley's own preferred vocabulary, Collins introduces Wesley's theological method beginning with a discussion of the doctrine of God. "In this insightful exposition the leitmotif of holy love arises out of Wesley's reflection on the nature of the divine being as well as other major doctrines." (Douglas Meeks)
Download or read book An Exact Likeness written by Prof. Richard P. Heitzenrater and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faces are more than a montage of organs that see, breathe, speak, hear, eat, sing, smell, and yell. As Josephine Tey points out in her mystery novel, The Daughter of Time, the slant of an eyebrow, the set of a mouth, the look of the eye, the firmness of a chin, often can provide evidence of character that is as telling as a report card or a police blotter. Those features depicted on portraits of individuals can be equally telling of the person’s inner nature or perhaps of what the artist thinks (or wants the viewer to think) about the person being portrayed. Sometimes a portrait might be even more useful than a biography. While examining these portraits, the author considers three questions: what was Wesley’s attitude toward the portrait (if any), how did the public respond to these portrayals, and what was the artist attempting to convey? This book focuses on the main portraits and their derivatives, looking at them within the three main categories that developed over the years: Oxford don, Methodist preacher, and notable person. Although these types seemed to arise in chronological order, there is some overlap between categories, especially toward the end of Wesley’s life and beyond.
