Book Synopsis The Last Days of Pompeii by : Victoria C. Gardner Coates
Download or read book The Last Days of Pompeii written by Victoria C. Gardner Coates and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2012 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Destroyed yet paradoxically preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79, Pompeii and other nearby sites are usually considered places where we can most directly experience the daily lives of ancient Romans. Rather than present these sites as windows to the past, however, the authors of The Last Days of Pompeii: Decadence, Apocalypse, Resurrection explore Pompeii as a modern obsession, in which the Vesuvian sites function as mirrors of the present. Through cultural appropriation and projection, outstanding visual and literary artists of the last three centuries have made the ancient catastrophe their own, expressing contemporary concerns in diverse media--from paintings, prints, and sculpture, to theatrical performances, photography, and film. This lavishly illustrated volume--featuring the works of artists such as Piranesi, Fragonard, Kaufmann, Ingres, Chass�riau, and Alma-Tadema, as well as Duchamp, Dal�, Rothko, Rauschenberg, and Warhol--surveys the legacy of Pompeii in the modern imagination under the three overarching rubrics of decadence, apocalypse, and resurrection. Decadence investigates the perception of Pompeii as a site of impending and well-deserved doom due to the excesses of the ancient Romans, such as paganism, licentiousness, greed, gluttony, and violence. The catastrophic demise of the Vesuvian sites has become inexorably linked with the understanding of antiquity, turning Pompeii into a fundamental allegory for Apocalypse, to which all subsequent disasters (natural or man-made) are related, from the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 to Hiroshima, Nagasaki, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina. Resurrection examines how Pompeii and the Vesuvian cities have been reincarnated in modern guise through both scientific archaeology and fantasy, as each successive cultural reality superimposed its values and ideas on the distant past. An exhibition of the same name will be on view at the Getty Villa from September 12, 2012, through January 7, 2013; at the Cleveland Museum of Art from February 24 through May 19, 2013; and at the Mus�e national des beaux-arts du Qu�bec from June 13 through November 8, 2013.

Download or read book A Spectacle of Destruction written by Joanna Paul and published by I. B. Tauris. This book was released on 2014-05-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life of Pompeii will forever be linked to the manner of its death. Overshadowed by the spectre of Vesuvius, the famous city remains a site of enduring fascination, and the focal point of many different and often conflicting attitudes towards antiquity. As one of the most evocative and complete ruins of the ancient world, Pompeii represents an irrecoverable past. At the same time, it invites its interpreters to reconstruct and re-imagine that past through literature, art and film. The extent of Pompeii's continuing resonance in culture is remarkable, with an existence and meaning shaped as much by its destruction and 18th century rebirth as by its modern presence. In her exciting new book, Joanna Paul explores the paradoxical tension found in Pompeii, and its sister-city Herculaneum, between the fragility and inaccessibility of the past and its persistence. Drawing on examples and texts - written, painted, cinematic ? from the last three centuries, Paul shows that these twin victims of the volcano have become emblematic of a prototype Ground Zero. The ancient city has evolved into a powerful modern symbol of destruction, to be used figuratively in connection with any contemporary urban apocalypse. This bold and thoughtprovoking study in reception will have considerable appeal to students of classics and Roman history.

Download or read book Bombing Pompeii written by Nigel Pollard and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2020-11-18 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bombing Pompeii examines the circumstances under which over 160 Allied bombs hit the archaeological site of Pompeii in August and September 1943, and the wider significance of this event in the history of efforts to protect cultural heritage in conflict zones, a broader issue that is still of great importance. From detailed examinations of contemporary archival document, Nigel Pollard shows that the bomb damage to ancient Pompeii was accidental, and the bombs were aimed at road and rail routes close to the site in an urgent attempt to slow down the reinforcement and supply of German counter- attacks that threatened to defeat the Allied landings in the Gulf of Salerno. The book sets this event, along with other instances of damage and risk to cultural heritage in Italy in the Second World War, in the context of the development of the Allied Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives – the “Monuments Men.”

Book Synopsis The Crosses of Pompeii by : Bruce W. Longenecker
Download or read book The Crosses of Pompeii written by Bruce W. Longenecker and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2016-05-19 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a twist of fate, the eruption that destroyed Pompeii in 79 CE also preserved a wealth of evidence about the town, buried for centuries in volcanic ash. Since the town’s excavations in the eighteenth century, archaeologists have disputed the evidence that might attest the presence of Christians in Pompeii before the eruption. Now, Bruce W. Longenecker reviews that evidence, in comparison with other possible evidence of first-century Christian presence elsewhere, and reaches the conclusion that there were indeed Christians living in the doomed town. Illustrated with maps, charts, photographs, and line drawings depicting artifacts from the town, The Crosses of Pompeii presents an elegant case for their presence. Longenecker’s arguments require dramatic changes to our understanding of the early history of Christianity.
Download or read book From Pompeii written by Ingrid D. Rowland and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-24 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Vesuvius erupted in 79 CE, the force of the explosion blew the top right off the mountain, burying nearby Pompeii in a shower of volcanic ash. Ironically, the calamity that proved so lethal for Pompeii's inhabitants preserved the city for centuries, leaving behind a snapshot of Roman daily life that has captured the imagination of generations. The experience of Pompeii always reflects a particular time and sensibility, says Ingrid Rowland. From Pompeii: The Afterlife of a Roman Town explores the fascinating variety of these different experiences, as described by the artists, writers, actors, and others who have toured the excavated site. The city's houses, temples, gardens--and traces of Vesuvius's human victims--have elicited responses ranging from awe to embarrassment, with shifting cultural tastes playing an important role. The erotic frescoes that appalled eighteenth-century viewers inspired Renoir to change the way he painted. For Freud, visiting Pompeii was as therapeutic as a session of psychoanalysis. Crown Prince Hirohito, arriving in the Bay of Naples by battleship, found Pompeii interesting, but Vesuvius, to his eyes, was just an ugly version of Mount Fuji. Rowland treats readers to the distinctive, often quirky responses of visitors ranging from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Charles Dickens, and Mark Twain to Roberto Rossellini and Ingrid Bergman. Interwoven throughout a narrative lush with detail and insight is the thread of Rowland's own impressions of Pompeii, where she has returned many times since first visiting in 1962.
