Book Synopsis Engraved Gems of the Carolingian Empire by : Genevra Kornbluth
Download or read book Engraved Gems of the Carolingian Empire written by Genevra Kornbluth and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval Europe offers a pageant of almost incredible richness: King Arthur and his round table, demons and cathedrals, Charlemagne and his paladins. The Carolingian culture of the late eighth to late tenth centuries (in what is now France, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and northern Italy) offers more than its fair share of achievements. This heavily illustrated study examines one revealing legacy of Charlemagne's heirs and his people--the Carolingian gems of rock crystal, jet, and agate engraved with complex figural scenes, which have never before been studied as a group. These objects have been largely ignored in the scholarship of medieval art, partly because of the difficulty of access. Genevra Kornbluth assembles for the first time all twenty surviving gems, from small seal matrices to the forty-one-figure "Susanna crystal" in London, along with information about lost works. The unique features of each gem are made visible in over 200 detailed black-and-white photographs, often highly magnified and produced using new techniques developed to record transparent engraving. Kornbluth fully analyzes the techniques of manufacture, style, chronology, iconography, and patronage of each gem and examines their social functions, the organization and status of the artisans who created them, and relations between media. The gems are presented as evidence of the rich diversity of the Carolingian culture, rather than as reflections of an artistic program dictated by the imperial courts; they are also seen to be essentially new creations, drawing on earlier visual traditions but adapting their sources to address contemporary concerns.

Book Synopsis Late Antique and Early Christian Gems by : Jeffrey Spier
Download or read book Late Antique and Early Christian Gems written by Jeffrey Spier and published by Dr Ludwig Reichert. This book was released on 2007 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Throughout the Middle Ages, Roman gems and cameos were highly valued as intrinsically precious objects or even as possessing magical properties. During the Renaissance, large collections of gems were formed by aristocratic collectors who sought inspiration from the classical images engraved on them, and gems have been collected for similar reasons ever since. With the exception of a few dedicated antiquaries, however, collectors and scholars over the last five hundred years or so have generally ignored late antique and early Christian gems. This study presents more than 1000 gems from different collections, more than 300 of them unpublished so far. They are presented according to different genres, themes, material and place or time of production. The catalogue is completed by about 1300 illustrations."--Publisher's description.

Book excerpt: The present monograph is intended to give only a synoptic view of the complex world of numismatic research. An area of knowledge that spans centuries and contains such varying fields as primitive media of exchange, coins, paper money, money substitutes, tokens, medals, and decorations, can hardly be given a detailed history by a single person in a single work. -- Introduction.
