Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Eye and Art in Ancient Greece examines the art of ancient Greece through reconstructions of how the Greeks saw and understood the products of their own visual culture. The material is approached using a newly developed methodology of archaeoaesthetics by which past modes of vision and perception are examined in conjunction with prevailing notions of pleasure and judgement with the purpose of identifying the visual and psychological contexts within which the aesthetics of a culture emerge. Through a wide-ranging examination of ideas found in early written sources, the book examines various key aspects of Greek visual culture, such as continuity and change, nudity, identity, lifelikeness, mimesis, personation and enactment, symmetria, dance, harmony, and the modal representation of emotions, with the aim of comprehending how and why choices were made in the conception and making of artifacts. Special attention is given to factors contributing to the formation of taste and the emergence and transmission over time of concepts of art and beauty and the means by which they were identified and judged. The approach facilitates encounters with the material in ways that give rise to new insights into how the ancient Greeks experienced their own visual culture and how Greek art may be understood by us today.…

Hardback --- ummary This volume brings formal coherence to the overwhelming mass of prints published in sixteenth-century Rome. It is introductory in scope and does not attempt to include every print published by every publisher. The aim is to provide an overview of who was publishing what prints and when over the course of the sixteenth century. The five chapters provide an outline of the history of print publishing while the appendices serve to clarify chronologies and reveal groupings and patterns. A document central to this book deserves some comment. The record of the hearing into the murder of Gerolamo da Modena provided an opportunity to meet a number of the publishers, printers, and engravers at work in Rome in the decades after the mid-century and to understand better their lives, activities, and relationships.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A young exiled royal princess named Izadare falls in love with Duncan when he visits her aunt's palace selling amulets made of rare Isperagold. To escape an arranged marriage, Izadare runs away to be with Duncan, who lives part of the year underground collecting nuggets of Isperagold along the tunnels of the subterranean Ispera River. Duncan takes Izadare to Ballawais, his mother's oasis village in the desert, where they are married. However, the young couple are quickly overtaken by a series of tragic events and are separated. Izadare, alone, gives birth to twins, a girl and a boy, but loses her young son when he is taken away from her by pirates. The son, Otawais, grows up working as a slave on a farm in Morgada, and later serving as a cabin boy on a pirate galley. He eventually manages to escape captivity and is taken in and cared for by tin miners. Meanwhile, Izadare and her daughter, Simbellisa, have moved to the mysterious floating city island of Yse, the birthplace of Izadare's mother, Queen Oinda, where they learn to develop unusual supernatural gifts and magic powers. After several years have passed, Izadare and her two children are reunited and together they set off in search of Duncan who has embarked on a quest to find the mythical Garden of the Isperades where the Tree of Ispera grows on an island in a lake. The tree's golden fruit grants wishes to those who taste it. This item is printed on demand.
