Libros de Historia de la pintura y la escultura, página 37 de 291

Il volume, edito per la Biblioteca d''arte di Silvana Editoriale, rappresenta un affettuoso e sincero omaggio a Marcel Roethlisberger, professore al Dipartimento di Storia dell''arte dell''Universita di Ginevra per piu di trent''anni, da parte di alcuni amici, allievi e colleghi del mondo accademico e museale internazionale. Profondo conoscitore dell''arte europea dal Rinascimento ai giorni nostri, Marcel Roethlisberger ha compiuto la sua formazione a Berna, Colonia, Parigi, Firenze, Pisa et Londra. Docente alla Yale University, all''Universita di Toronto, e, prima di approdare a Ginevra, presso l''Universita della California-Los Angeles, si distinto per i suoi studi su Claude Lorrain, Abraham Bloemaert, Jean-Etienne Liotard, Jacopo Bellini, Bartholomeus Breenbergh, Pietro Tempesta. Il volume costitisce dunque una miscellanea di ampio respiro, in cui trovano posto contributi critici, proposti in lingua originale, che spaziano nel vasto campo dell''arte e della musicologia - altro settore di interesse di Roethlisberger -, offrendo significativi spunti di riflessione per gli amanti della materia. Completa il volume una bibliografia relativa alle pubblicazioni di Roethlisberger.

A study of the ways landscape was perceived in nineteenth-century Britain and France, this book draws on evidence from poetry, landscape gardens, spectacular public entertainments, novels and scientific works as well as paintings in order to develop its basic premise that landscape and the processes of perceiving it cannot be separated. Vision embraces panoramic seeing from high places, but also the seeing of ghosts and spectres when madness and hallucination impinge upon landscape. The rise of geology and the spread of empires upset the existing comfortable orders of comprehension of landscape. Reverie and imagination produced powerful interpretive actions, while landscape in French culture proved central to the rejection of conservative classicism in favour of perceptual questioning of experience. The experience of subjectivity proved central to the perception of landscape while the visual culture of landscape became of paramount importance to modernity during the period in question.

The rise of the mendicant orders in the later Middle Ages coincided with rapid and dramatic shifts in the visual arts. The mendicants were prolific patrons, relying on artworks to instruct and impress their diverse lay congregations. Churches and chapels were built, and new images and iconographies developed to propagate mendicant cults. But how should the two phenomena be related? How much were these orders actively responsible for artistic change, and how much did they simply benefit from it? To explore these questions, Art and the Augustinian Order in Early Renaissance Italy looks at art in the formative period of the Augustinian Hermits, an order with a particularly difficult relation to art. As a first detailed study of visual culture in the Augustinian order, this book will be a basic resource, making available previously inaccessible material, discussing both well-known and more neglected artworks, and engaging with fundamental methodological questions for pre-modern art and church history, from the creation of religious iconographies to the role of gender in art.

La dialéctica es un modo de conocimiento objetivo y se centra en construir juicios sintéticos o dialécticos que son sustanciales para la ciencia. En este estudio se desarrolla una tesis que quedó formulada, pero no desarrollada, en nuestra investigacion anterior; la tesis en cuestion es la siguiente: Un inconsciente colectivo ha creido que el proceso de un alfabeto pictografico, otro posterior ideografico, y finalmente el simbolico fonetico, debia servir de guia para la evolucion de las imagenes de contenido figurativo. Pero nosotros aportamos con evidencias empiricas y con la Epistemologia Genetica, a la que estamos dando un considerable impulso, la tesis de una primera fase de escritura simbolico abstracta. La representacion del mundo y de las cosas no es algo dado y no empieza con representaciones figurativas y luego abstractas: eso es una creencia cultural que nunca podra demostrarse en cuanto a la capacidad de aprender.
