Book excerpt: Wall-mounted memorials (or ‘epitaphs’) enjoyed great popularity across the Burgundian Netherlands. Usually installed in churches above graves, they combine images with inscriptions and take the form of sculpted reliefs, brass plaques, or panel paintings. They preserved the memory of the dead and reminded the living to pray for their souls. On occasions, renowned artists like Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden were closely involved in memorials’ creation. In Pious Memories Douglas Brine examines the wall-mounted memorial as a distinct category of funerary monument and shows it to be a significant, if overlooked, aspect of fifteenth-century Netherlandish art. The patronage, functions, and meanings of these objects are considered in the context of contemporary commemorative practices and the culture of memoria.

Brine received the 2015 Arthur Kingsley Porter Prize, for an earlier version of Chapter 5 of Pious Memories, his article, “Jan van Eyck, Canon Joris van der Paele, and the Art of Commemoration,” published in the September 2014 issue of The Art Bulletin.

Download or read book On Memory written by Doron Mendels and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book consists of 16 case-studies on issues relating to memory, the majority of which stem from a conference in April 2005 at the Institute of Advanced Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Public memory is tackled from a variety of angles and various disciplines, ranging across the humanities, the social sciences and the exact sciences. First and foremost the reader will obtain a comprehensive overview of the results of scholarship published in recent years about public memory. Second, the book provides a profound insight into how public memory works within societies of different nature and at different junctures of their histories. The volume begins by offering a glimpse into individual memory, and then goes on to discuss religious societies, ethnic groups, secular groups, institutions and larger segments of society, ultimately reaching the nation state. The authors, each in his or her own discipline, have addressed the complexities involved in the creation of public memory, the media that promote and preserve it within groups and societies, and finally the nature of memory and how it «behaves» during changing circumstances and changing regimes.

Download or read book Kierkegaard and Nietzsche written by J. Kellenberger and published by Springer. This book was released on 1997-03-24 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the thinking of two nineteenth-century existentialist thinkers, Soren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche. Its focus is on the radically different ways they envisioned a joyful acceptance of life - a concern they shared. For Kierkegaard, in Fear and Trembling, joyful acceptance flows from the certitude of faith. For Nietzsche, in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, joyful acceptance is an acceptance of the eternal recurrence of life, and is ultimately a matter of will. This book explores the relationship between these opposed visions.

Book Synopsis The Last Temptation of Zarathustra by :
Download or read book The Last Temptation of Zarathustra written by and published by QUIDZUNC. This book was released on 2024-08-30 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faithful rendition of Nietzsche's Also Sprach Zarathustra, Part lV, in English playscript adaptation. Includes stage directions and original German text in a beautiful Fraktur font. "You are good, O Zarathustra, and even better than a cow" ...thus Nietzsche passed judgement on himself in this most self-consciously funny of all his many playful masterpieces - the one in which he consecrates Laughter itself as the Holiest of Holies... A celebration of wit, comedy, philosophy, and high-spirits, the Last Temptation of Zarathustra is rendered here for the very first time as a rapturous playscript, and in English idiom sparkling with the wit and winged-feet of the Master's original. Thus, too, for the very first time the English-speaker will come away with a real feel for this masterpiece of comic self-consciousness: laughing, and tempted to pronounce Zarathustra himself Holy - and even Holier than a cow. "What luck! What a wonder! Praised be the day that lured me into this swamp! Praised be the best blood-pumping brain-drainer alive today! Praised be the great leech-of-conscience himself: Zarathustra!"

Book Synopsis Thresholds and Boundaries by : Lynn F. Jacobs
Download or read book Thresholds and Boundaries written by Lynn F. Jacobs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although liminality has been studied by scholars of medieval and seventeenth-century art, the role of the threshold motif in Netherlandish art of the late fourteenth, fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries -- this late medieval/early ‘early modern’ period -- has been much less fully investigated. Thresholds and Boundaries: Liminality in Netherlandish Art (1385-1550) addresses this issue through a focus on key case studies (Sluter's portal of the Chartreuse de Champmol and the calendar pages of the Limbourg Brothers' Très Riches Heures), and on important formats (altarpieces and illuminated manuscripts). Lynn F. Jacobs examines how the visual thresholds established within Netherlandish paintings, sculptures, and manuscript illuminations become sites where artists could address relations between life and death, aristocrat and peasant, holy and profane, and man and God—and where artists could exploit the "betwixt and between" nature of the threshold to communicate, paradoxically, both connections and divisions between these different states and different worlds. Building on literary and anthropological interpretations of liminality, this book demonstrates how the exploration of boundaries in Netherlandish art infused the works with greater meaning. The book's probing of the -- often ignored --meanings of the threshold motif casts new light on key works of Netherlandish art.
