Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating evolution of how months were depicted in art, from antiquity to the 12th century. The author traces the journey of these artistic representations, starting with their origins in the late antique world, as seen in the Hellenistic frieze of Hagios Eleutherios in Athens. The exploration continues through the intricate illustrations of the Chronograph of 354 and the vibrant mosaics of Carthage and Beisan. The author expertly positions the subject within the broader context of cultural history, revealing how representations of the months evolved from personifications of time periods to depictions of seasonal activities and labors. This shift reflects changing societal values and the increasing emphasis on the human experience of time. The book delves into the iconographic details of these artworks, uncovering the symbolism embedded in the attributes, poses, and clothing of the figures. Readers are invited to consider the interplay between astronomical knowledge, religious beliefs, and daily life as expressed through these artistic representations. By examining the subtle variations and common themes across different cultures and time periods, the book offers valuable insights into the medieval understanding of time, nature, and human existence.
