Book Synopsis Image on the Edge by : Michael Camille
Download or read book Image on the Edge written by Michael Camille and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do they all mean – the lascivious ape, autophagic dragons, pot-bellied heads, harp-playing asses, arse-kissing priests and somersaulting jongleurs to be found protruding from the edges of medieval buildings and in the margins of illuminated manuscripts? Michael Camille explores that riotous realm of marginal art, so often explained away as mere decoration or zany doodles, where resistance to social constraints flourished. Medieval image-makers focused attention on the underside of society, the excluded and the ejected. Peasants, servants, prostitutes and beggars all found their place, along with knights and clerics, engaged in impudent antics in the margins of prayer-books or, as gargoyles, on the outsides of churches. Camille brings us to an understanding of how marginality functioned in medieval culture and shows us just how scandalous, subversive, and amazing the art of the time could be.

Download or read book Medieval Art written by Veronica Sekules and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-04-26 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This refreshing new look at Medieval art conveys a very real sense of the impact of art on everyday life in Europe from 1000 to 1500. It examines the importance of art in the expression and spread of knowledge and ideas, including notions of the heroism and justice of war, and the dominant view of Christianity. Taking its starting point from issues of contemporary relevance, such as the environment, the identity of the artist, and the position of women, the book also highlights the attitudes and events specific to the sophisticated visual culture of the Middle Ages, and goes on to link this period to the Renaissance. The fascinating question of whether commercial and social activities between countries encouraged similar artistic taste and patronage, or contributed to the defining of cultural difference in Europe, is fully explored.
Book Synopsis Dinanderie a History and Description, of Mediaeval Art Work in Copper Brass and Bronze by : J. Tavenor-Perry
Download or read book Dinanderie a History and Description, of Mediaeval Art Work in Copper Brass and Bronze written by J. Tavenor-Perry and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dinanderie a History and Description, of Mediaeval Art Work in Copper Brass and Bronze Dinanderie was the name used during the Middle Ages to denote the various articles required for ecclesiastical or domestic use made of copper or of its alloys, brass and bronze, with which the name of Dinant on the Meuse was so intimately associated; and as we have no word in modern English which would in the same way embrace all branches of this important art work, we have adopted it as the most convenient for our purpose. Numerous books have appeared of late years treating of the gold - and silver-smith's craft, and of the various objects made in the precious metals; iron work, both constructional and artistic, has been even more fully dealt with, while pewter and lead work have not been forgotten; but no attempt has yet been made adequately to describe the widely extended art of the coppersmith, although our museums and the church treasuries of the Continent abound in beautiful works executed in copper, brass and bronze. Mr. Drury Fortnum in his book on Bronzes deals slightly with one branch of our subject; but as he includes in it both the ancient and modern periods of the art, the proportion available for the description of medieval work is but scanty. Although it would be impossible in a single volume to do more than give a general view of the whole subject, with an account of the more important varieties of objects made in those metals during the medieval period, this has been done in a sufficiently detailed manner to make it an introductory handbook to this most interesting subject.

Book Synopsis Medieval Art in Motion by : Mariah Proctor-Tiffany
Download or read book Medieval Art in Motion written by Mariah Proctor-Tiffany and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this visually rich volume, Mariah Proctor-Tiffany reconstructs the art collection and material culture of the fourteenth-century French queen Clémence de Hongrie, illuminating the way the royal widow gave objects as part of a deliberate strategy to create a lasting legacy for herself and her family in medieval Paris. After the sudden death of her husband, King Louis X, and the loss of her promised income, young Clémence fought for her high social status by harnessing the visual power of possessions, displaying them, and offering her luxurious objects as gifts. Clémence adeptly performed the role of queen, making a powerful argument for her place at court and her income as she adorned her body, the altars of her chapels, and her dining tables with sculptures, paintings, extravagant textiles, manuscripts, and jewelry—the exclusive accoutrements of royalty. Proctor-Tiffany analyzes the queen’s collection, maps the geographic trajectories of her gifts of art, and interprets Clémence’s generosity using anthropological theories of exchange and gift giving. Engaging with the art inventory of a medieval French woman, this lavishly illustrated microhistory sheds light on the material and social culture of the late Middle Ages. Scholars and students of medieval art, women’s studies, digital mapping, and the anthropology of ritual and gift giving especially will welcome Proctor-Tiffany’s meticulous research.

Book Synopsis The Art of Medieval Jewelry by : T.N. Pollio
Download or read book The Art of Medieval Jewelry written by T.N. Pollio and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the origins of the imagery and designs on common jewelry and portable artwork between late antiquity and the Middle Ages? These dynamic centuries encompass the transformation of the Greco-Roman world into the nascent kingdoms and medieval states upon which most modern European nations are based. The choices of jewelry and other forms of personal expression among the lower classes in ancient times is notoriously difficult to contextualize for a number of reasons. Nonetheless, these precious articles were expressions of individual identity as well as signifiers of rites of passage. As such, they reflect not only the people who wore them, but also the social milieu and artistic trends at that moment in time. This new study assists in identifying the types, origins and routes of transmission of personal artwork, particularly finger rings, across Europe and Byzantium, an area of study that has been neglected in previous works. Some of this material represents the first time relevant research from Central and Eastern Europe has been translated and made available to the general reader in the English-speaking world.
