Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'St John's Co-Cathedral' is a guidebook about this gem of baroque art and architecture with its rich history and artistic heritage. This is due to the fact that for over 200 years it was the conventual church of the Order of St John of Jerusalem. The history of the Church is directly tied to the history of the Order in Malta over the years. The grandmasters, dignitaries and knights donated gifts of high artistic value and made enormous contributions to enrich it with the best works of art by the leading artists available to them. The knights themselves referred to the church as 'La nostra chiesa maggiore della Sacra Religione Gerosolmitana'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelve papers written for this volume reflect the wide scope of Annemarie Weyl Carr’s interests and the equally wide impact of her career. They are linked by Carr’s expansive body of work, which ties together issues of patronage, production and influence across the medieval Mediterranean. The volume examines influences in manuscript production and reception, imperial patronage, relics and reliquaries, form and style in Cypriot architecture and icons, and the relationship between original and copy in medieval art.

This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the linkages between politics and governance and the arts. The essays in the volume show how visual and performative arts have challenged those in power — or conversely patronised by them — been used for propaganda, stir up national fervour and found themselves at the receiving end of political censure. They focus on the tension and symbiosis between the politician and the artist foregrounding how they have always tried to influence, challenge, and, in some cases, undermine one another. This volume will serve as an indispensable source for researchers and academics in political science, the humanities and performing arts.

Book excerpt: This new, thoroughly updated fourth edition of Bradt's Malta - written by an expert who has been visiting for more than a decade - remains the most comprehensive guide available and has built a reputation for being the essential guide for getting beneath the surface of this island nation and discovering what lies beyond the beaches. Sun, sand and sea there may be, but Malta boasts so much more, and this new edition is packed with historical and archaeological insights, from the Stone Age to the Romans, the Knights Hospitaller to World War II. It also showcases the islands' wildlife and bird-watching opportunities, summer festas, and the less commercialised islands of Gozo and Comino. Malta has been changing at the rate of knots, with Valletta's year as European Capital of Culture accelerating restoration and renovation. Copious openings - of historic sights, key fortresses, a new national gallery and boutique accommodation, particularly in Valletta - are covered, while the culinary scene continues to thrive, with notably greater choice for vegetarians and vegans. Malta has recently become much more socially accepting and is now considered one of the top places for LGBT travellers, while the offering for younger travellers has expanded, too. The Isle of MTV festival is going strong, Annie Mac now has a spring festival in Malta and a host of bars and clubs has sprung up. There is also lots on offer culturally, with festivals, concerts, exhibitions, theatre and opera all contributing to a full programme. Bradt's Malta contains all the information needed for a successful trip. Whatever your budget, it is the ideal guide for everyone from culture aficionados to history and archaeology buffs, foodies, war veterans, families and couples escaping for a romantic break.

Excerpt: ... by Giovanni Calamia a noble Rhodian at his own expense, as a receptacle for the miracle working portrait of Our Lady of Damascus, which according to tradition is the work of St. Luke, and which still remains here. The picture of the Resurrection is by S. Erardi. The Church Of.the Madonna Del Pilar In this little but elegant church there are several pictures of considerable merit. The orie over the high altar is by the illustrious Erardi, and is an admirable representation of the Virgin and Child, with the title of the Pillar. There is a good picture of St. Lawrence at one side of the same altar in the style of G. Ribera, but our attention is especially arrested by a small crucifix painted on copper in the sacristy, remarkable for that extreme delicacy of touch which characterises the style of Guido Reni. There is also in the sacristy a picture of S. Vincent de Paul by Dr. Michael Bellanti. The Church Of The Nuns Of St. Catherine Was built in 1766. The principal pic-ture (the presentation of the B. V. M.) is in the style of Arrigo Arnaux. Most of the other pictures are modern productions by Signori P. Paolo and Raffaele Caruana, and represent various Saints. The Church or B. V. M. Of Liesse Was built in 1740. The principal picture which is one of the B. V. M. with this title, together with the legend of the three Knights of Liesse is one of the best paintings of Arnaud. The Parish Church Oe S. Pubblio, Bishop And Martyr, Floriana Bishop Fr. Paolo Alferan laid the foundation stone of this church on August 2nd H33. The architect was the celebrated Giuseppe Bonnici. It has been since enlarged in the same style by Maestro Carmelo Spiteri, under the superintendence of Sig. Paolo Attard. The picture at the high altar of the Martyrdom of S....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the doctoral thesis is to demonstrate the role of the Hospitaller knights of the Order of St John as art patrons and collectors, and the extent to which works of art enabled internal relations between the Grand Masters of the Order and Hospitaller knights, and the extent to which art also enabled external relations with other entities and states through the language of gifts, bequests and cultural identity. The study will enable an understanding of the development of the Order's art patronage and the growth of Hospitaller art collections, from the late sixteenth century to the early eighteenth century. These dates encompass the first commissions given to artists to embellish the magistral palace and the Conventual church in the 1570s, and the growth of a magistral art collection under successive Grand Masters. The research will also aim to situate Hospitaller art patronage and collecting within the broader history of art collecting in Europe, by highlighting factors that were specific to the institutional character of the Order of St John and the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience taken by Hospitaller knights. The thesis will be informed by archival research on Hospitaller inventories. It will also build on studies that have been conducted on the Order's art patronage, and on the history of individual artists in Malta such as Caravaggio and Mattia Preti, as well as on research on the broader history of art collecting.
