Book Synopsis Medieval & Renaissance Interiors in Illuminated Manuscripts by : Eva Oledzka
Download or read book Medieval & Renaissance Interiors in Illuminated Manuscripts written by Eva Oledzka and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illuminated manuscripts are an excellent source of information about the interiors inhabited by people in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Artists regularly depicted the castles and palaces of the ruling classes, as well as the houses of ordinary people--merchants, craftsmen and peasants. This attractive new book is the first to study the subject in such depth, and it uncovers a wealth of little-known illuminations that help us to learn more about life at home, in workshops and elsewhere. The author presents manuscript miniatures as illustrations to an account of house interiors which includes their architectural features (such as windows, doors or fireplaces), furniture and other household objects. She concentrates on the social, cultural and stylistic aspects of Gothic domestic settings and presents them in the context of their Romanesque antecedents and Renaissance successors.

Book Synopsis The Folly of the World by : Jesse Bullington
Download or read book The Folly of the World written by Jesse Bullington and published by Orbit. This book was released on 2012-12-18 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a stormy night in 1421, the North Sea delivers a devastating blow to Holland: the Saint Elizabeth Flood, a deluge of biblical proportions that drowns hundreds of towns, thousands of people, and forever alters the geography of the Low Countries. Where the factions of the noble Hooks and the merchant Cods waged a literal class war but weeks before, there is now only a nigh-endless expanse of grey water, a desolate inland sea with moldering church spires jutting up like sunken tombstones. For a land already beleaguered by generations of civil war, a worse disaster could scarce be imagined. Yet even disaster can be profitable, for the right sort of individual, and into this flooded realm sail three conspirators: a deranged thug at the edge of madness, a ruthless conman on the cusp of fortune, and a half-feral girl balanced between them. With The Folly of the World, Jesse Bullington has woven an extraordinary new tale of the depraved and the desperate.

Book Synopsis Illuminating Metalwork by : Joseph Salvatore Ackley
Download or read book Illuminating Metalwork written by Joseph Salvatore Ackley and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-12-20 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of gold, silver, and other metals is a hallmark of decorated manuscripts, the very characteristic that makes them “illuminated.” Medieval artists often used metal pigment and leaf to depict metal objects both real and imagined, such as chalices, crosses, tableware, and even idols; the luminosity of these representations contrasted pointedly with the surrounding paints, enriching the page and dazzling the viewer. To elucidate this key artistic tradition, this volume represents the first in-depth scholarly assessment of the depiction of precious-metal objects in manuscripts and the media used to conjure them. From Paris to the Abbasid caliphate, and from Ethiopia to Bruges, the case studies gathered here forge novel approaches to the materiality and pictoriality of illumination. In exploring the semiotic, material, iconographic, and technical dimensions of these manuscripts, the authors reveal the canny ways in which painters generated metallic presence on the page. Illuminating Metalwork is a landmark contribution to the study of the medieval book and its visual and embodied reception, and is poised to be a staple of research in art history and manuscript studies, accessible to undergraduates and specialists alike.

Book Synopsis Illuminating the Border of French and Flemish Manuscripts, 1270–1310 by : Lisa Moore Hunt
Download or read book Illuminating the Border of French and Flemish Manuscripts, 1270–1310 written by Lisa Moore Hunt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study first examines the marginal repertoire in two well-known manuscripts, the Psalter of Guy de Dampierre and an Arthurian Romance, within their material and codicological contexts. This repertoire then provides a template for an extended study of the marginal motifs that appear in eighteen related manuscripts, which range from a Bible to illustrated versions of the encyclopedias of Vincent de Beauvais and Brunetto Latini. Considering the manuscript as a whole work of art, the marginalia’s physical relationship to nearby texts and images can shed light on the reception of these illuminated books by their medieval viewers.

Book Synopsis French Furniture in the Middle Ages and Under Louis XIII (Classic Reprint) by : Roger De Felice
Download or read book French Furniture in the Middle Ages and Under Louis XIII (Classic Reprint) written by Roger De Felice and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Furniture in the Middle Ages and Under Louis XIII A consecutive and complete history of French furniture - complete in that it should not leave out the furniture used by the lower middle classes, the artisans and the peasants - remains still to be written; and the four little books of this series are far from claiming to fill such a gap. And yet they will perhaps usefully fill their modest place by giving some hints and ideas, as accurate as possible even though very elementary and simple, to those who appreciate the excellent work wrought by old-time joiners out of walnut trees and cherry trees and oaks. The present passion for those plain pieces of furniture that six or eight generations of the folk of Lorraine, of Provence, of Gascony or Normandy have polished by use and filled with their humble treasures, has more legitimate foundations than the mere craze for running after a fashion and the astute advertising of dealers: they are practical, their solid strength is proof against the lapse of years - if we dared, we might say their soul is dovetailed to their frames - their material the "bon bois vif, sec loyal et marchand," spoken of in every article of the Statuts et ordonnances des maistres huchiers-menuisiers, is often most admirable.
