This book was released on 1999 with total page 1136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1887-9, this remarkable reference work examines the craft of miniaturists and the related trades and techniques of calligraphy and illumination. An art that flourished particularly before the advent of printing, these craftsmen and women enriched manuscripts with pictures, ornate borders, ornamental writing, portraits and the decoration of letters. Also included are copyists - those who painstakingly transcribed volumes by hand before the mechanical printing press. Compiled by John William Bradley (1830-1916), this 3-volume work was the first serious and systematic attempt to catalogue the practitioners of this craft. Giving precise and often contemporary statements respecting illuminated books and the men and women who executed them, the Dictionary 'will help a reader to form some notion of an artist's manner and style of work, as well as of his time and place in art history'. Occasioning a great amount of original research, the book is still full of useful information that would otherwise only be covered in a wide variety of sources. This set will interest scholars of art history, medieval studies and the history of printing. It will also fascinate those studying religious iconography, as many of the artist practitioners can be found here. Arranged alphabetically, with biographical notes, some bibliographical details of their works, their patrons, their locations and the sources consulted, the Dictionary of Miniaturists... continues to be a valuable and unique reference source. --an original and unique work still valuable to modern scholars --the original edition of this work is uncommon and expensive --no other book examines this subject in such depth

Download or read book Routledge Revivals The Illuminations of the Stavelot Bible 1978 written by Wayne Dynes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1978, this book offers a comprehensive study of the illuminations of the Stavelot Bible. The illuminations themselves have been recognized as occupying an important place in the incipient stage of the Romanesque style in the Meuse valley. The two volumes of the Bible contain no less than ninety-seven illuminated initials, almost half of them containing figures. Wayne Dynes’s study brings this into context by giving the historical background of the abbey of Stavelot and the manuscript itself, and then the exegetical and illustrative tradition shaping earlier illuminated Bibles. A third chapter examines the question of the assignment of the hands, providing at the same time a survey of the contents. This clears the way for discussions of areas of importance including the famous full-page composition of Christ in Majesty, and analyses key miniatures and groups of miniatures. This procedure serves to clarify the overall scheme of illumination and permit a comparison with earlier achievements in the history of Bible illumination.

Download or read book Cultural Exchange written by Joseph Shatzmiller and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demonstrating that similarities between Jewish and Christian art in the Middle Ages were more than coincidental, Cultural Exchange meticulously combines a wide range of sources to show how Jews and Christians exchanged artistic and material culture. Joseph Shatzmiller focuses on communities in northern Europe, Iberia, and other Mediterranean societies where Jews and Christians coexisted for centuries, and he synthesizes the most current research to describe the daily encounters that enabled both societies to appreciate common artistic values. Detailing the transmission of cultural sensibilities in the medieval money market and the world of Jewish money lenders, this book examines objects pawned by peasants and humble citizens, sacred relics exchanged by the clergy as security for loans, and aesthetic goods given up by the Christian well-to-do who required financial assistance. The work also explores frescoes and decorations likely painted by non-Jews in medieval and early modern Jewish homes located in Germanic lands, and the ways in which Jews hired Christian artists and craftsmen to decorate Hebrew prayer books and create liturgical objects. Conversely, Christians frequently hired Jewish craftsmen to produce liturgical objects used in Christian churches. With rich archival documentation, Cultural Exchange sheds light on the social and economic history of the creation of Jewish and Christian art, and expands the general understanding of cultural exchange in brand-new ways.
Download or read book How to Find Out About the Arts written by Neville Carrick and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-05-16 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Find Out About the Arts: A Guide to Sources of Information discusses the main sources of information, printed or otherwise, in the field of the arts. The book begins by describing where information on art careers can be found. Separate chapters then discuss how information on art can be traced in libraries by means of the catalogue and classification scheme; and turning to bibliographies when information on a particular aspect of art cannot be traced by these means. Subsequent chapters deal with sources such as encyclopedias and dictionaries, general indexes to reproductions and portraits, works on iconography, periodicals, directories, yearbooks, and sales records. This book aims to serve some of the needs of the student of art, the experienced artist, and indeed all of those with an intelligent interest in the arts. In particular, it should help those in libraries, colleges, and other educational institutions whose task it is to guide others to the right sources.
Download or read book Patrons Authors and Workshops written by Godfried Croenen and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patrons, Authors and Workshops invokes a cross-disciplinary approach to the study of late medieval books and book production in Paris, from the troubled years of the early fifteenth century onwards. It shows the extent to which such activity was able to flourish even against the backdrop of the endemic struggle between Burgundians and Armagnacs, or the subsequent English invasion which led to Agincourt and the regency of Bedford. Extensive coverage is given to the key role played by the libraire, to the author as scribe or copyist (Christine de Pisan, Jean Lebegue), and also to the development of commercial production under figures such as Jean Trepperel. A section on bibliophiles and their various commissions leads into a group of essays that focus on particular texts and authors, whilst a further section concentrates on what we can discover about the role of the scribe. The volume concludes with four essays offering insights into the work of particular artists and illuminators. The authors include scholars from the UK, France, Greece, Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and the USA. Godfried Croenen is Lecturer in French at the University of Liverpool. Peter Ainsworth is Professor of French at the University of Sheffield.
