Download or read book The Riddle of the Image written by Spike Bucklow and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2014-03-15 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From monumental church mosaics to fresco wall-paintings, the medieval period produced some of the most impressive art in history. But how, in a world without the array of technology and access to materials that we now have, did artists produce such incredible works, often on an unbelievably large scale? In The Riddle of the Image, research scientist and art restorer Spike Bucklow discovers the actual materials and methods that lie behind the production of historical paintings. Examining the science of the tools and resources, as well as the techniques of medieval artists, Bucklow adds new layers to our understanding and appreciation of paintings in particular and medieval art more generally. He uses case studies—including The Wilton Diptych, one of the most popular paintings in the National Gallery in London and the altarpiece in front of which English monarchs were crowned for centuries—and analyses of these works, presenting previously unpublished technical details that shed new light on the mysteries of medieval artists. The first account to examine this subject in depth for a general audience, The Riddle of the Image is a beautifully illustrated look at the production of medieval paintings.

Download or read book The Nature of Reality written by Steven E. Kaufman and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is The Nature of Reality? Contrary to what almost all human beings presently believe, we do not live in a physical Universe because, as The Nature of Reality explains, physical reality is just an appearance that is being created by our minds and then superimposed by projection upon the non-physical reality that is both actually there and what we really are. The problem that arises as a result of believing physical reality to be the reality that is actually there is that that mistaken belief causes physical reality to function like a misperceived reflection to continuously obscure one’s own reality from their awareness, thereby effectively trapping one’s awareness in what is nothing more than a mind-generated experiential dream that is neither the reality that is actually there nor the reality that one really is. The Nature of Reality was written to provide you with the opportunity to free yourself from that experiential dream and from the suffering being trapped in that dream produces by using fundamental scientific facts to demonstrate that physical reality is not the reality that is actually there where it appears to be so you can rid your mind of the false belief in physical reality that it is inadvertently using to convert physical reality into a delusion that continuously hides from your awareness the non-physical reality you really are. Whether you know it or not, your awareness is presently trapping itself in a mind-generated experiential dream as a function of what is nothing more than a mistaken belief. The question is: Are you ready to loosen your grip on that belief so you can begin to wake up and become aware of the reality you really are?

Download or read book Mirror Mirror written by Mark Pendergrast and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all human inventions, the mirror is perhaps the one most closely connected to our own consciousness. As our first technology for contemplation of the self, the mirror is arguably as important an invention as the wheel. Mirror Mirror is the fascinating story of the mirror's invention, refinement, and use in an astonishing range of human activities -- from the fantastic mirrored rooms that wealthy Romans created for their orgies to the mirror's key role in the use and understanding of light. Pendergrast spins tales of the 2,500year mystery of whether Archimedes and his "burning mirror" really set faraway Roman ships on fire; the medieval Venetian glassmakers, who perfected the technique of making large, flat mirrors from clear glass and for whom any attempt to leave their cloistered island was punishable by death; Isaac Newton, whose experiments with sunlight on mirrors once left him blinded for three days; the artist David Hockney, who holds controversial ideas about Renaissance artists and their use of optical devices; and George Ellery Hale, the manic-depressive astronomer and telescope enthusiast who inspired (and gave his name to) the twentieth century's largest ground-based telescope. Like mirrors themselves, Mirror Mirror is a book of endless wonder and fascination.
