Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Bodies in ecstasy, bodies in tortuous pain, bodies devoid of life and bodies rising to the afterlife: the subject of the human is central to the work Tintoretto (151994) accomplished at the Scuola Grande di San Marco, home to the monumental library and medical museum of Venice's Ospedale Civile, and thus a fitting backdrop to Art, Faith and Medicine in Tintoretto's Venice, a volume that explores the representation of the human body in artistic and medical traditions in an effort to understand the role of idealized and nonidealized bodies in Renaissance culture. This book draws on archival documents, illuminated manuscripts, rare books, prints, medals, drawings and paintings to examine the interconnection between art and medicine, anatomical studies and devotional belief. Special topics such as medical care for the monks of the Scuola further enliven this central theme.

Rightly or wrongly, its designer is credited with the idea of having associated the construction with a symbolic and imaginative calendar: 365 meters in length, the number of days in a year, four courtyards, like the seasons, fifty-two doors, and seven stories.Urban myth or the truth? What is certain is that esoteric symbolism and a taste for numbers were often the prerogative of master builders and architects and undoubtedly fascinate the Italians Alfonso Femia and Gianluca Peluffo of 5+1AA. Their renowned ability to bring together the know-how of artisans, artists, contractors, and suppliers of materials has produced a remarkable aesthetic result, in which color and material articulate the internal spaces, animated by stores, restaurants, and offices. The large building, today known as Les Docks, designed by Gustave Desplaces and constructed between 1858 and 1864 on the model of the warehouses in the docklands of London, looks like a stone ship looming over the wharves of the port of Marseille.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A heroic long-term project to reunite panels of allegorical figures made for the ceiling of a Renaissance palace's grand roomPublished to coincide with their extraordinary reassembly, this volume recounts the intricate story of the reconstruction and remounting of ceiling panels painted by the celebrated Italian Renaissance painter, architect, art historian and biographer Giorgio Vasari (1511-74) for Venice's Palazzo Corner Spinelli. Realized in a 1542 commission, Vasari completed a series of panels of allegorical figures for the ceiling of the palace's grand room. Various elements of the decorative structure were removed from their original location over the course of the 18th century, and by the 19th century the works were completely dispersed. This lavishly illustrated publication retraces the critical fortunes and history of the panels up until their reunion and mounting in their current location, explores the restoration of the work, discusses the iconological interpretation of the ceiling and takes a close look at the preparatory drawings of the panels.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Awarded the Deloitte Photo Grant 2025, this imagined photo archive transmutes grief into a reflection on memory, absence and identityWhen the Ghanaian photographer and filmmaker Carlos Idun-Tawiah's (born 1997) father died, he was left with few photos of him and his father together. Photography was not widely accessible in Ghana during the time of his childhood, so Idun-Tawiah lacked a photo archive through which he could process his grief. He created Hero, Father, Friend in order to fill this disheartening gap. Featuring reconstructed scenes, both real and imagined, from Idun-Tawiah's memory of his father, the photobook bears testimony to a cherished familial bond. Idun-Tawiah's photographs depict piano lessons with his grandfather, days on the beach with his uncle and games of soccer with his cousins--a family network united to fill the complex role of paternity. Denis Curti and Alessio Fusi contribute essays that provide a critical counterpoint to Idun-Tawiah's visual narration by analyzing how its emotional and aesthetic attributes interrelate.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An up-to-date reading of the ways in which the public image of a Venetian prelate came to be defined through his portraitureThis exquisite, richly illustrated catalog documents a dossier exhibition held at Venice's Museo di Palazzo Grimani, presenting three portraits of the Venetian prelate Giovanni Grimani, a collector of antiquities and patron of important 16th-century artists. The first, already in the collection at Palazzo Grimani, is the work of Domenico Tintoretto (1560-1635) and depicts the patriarch in old age in an iconography that can be found in earlier portraits, including the Portrait of the Patriarch Giovanni Grimani in the Schorr Collection (London), and a small oil on panel representing the same subject, now in a private collection, both painted by his father, Jacopo Tintoretto (1518-94). This unprecedented comparison, in addition to bearing witness to the iconographic evolution of effigies of the Venetian prelate over the course of several decades, helps to outline a history of Venetian portraits during that period.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A svelte showcase of KAWS' monumental installation that connects Fra Angelico's Annunciation (1443) with the immediacy of contemporary lifePublished with Palazzo Strozzi. This special publication documents a site-specific installation created by American artist KAWS (born 1974) for the Renaissance courtyard of the Palazzo Strozzi, Florence. The installation stages a surprising and constructive dialogue between the contemporary giant--famed for his cartoon- and graffiti-inspired sculptures, paintings and collectible toys--and the Strozzi's concurrent exhibition on Italian Renaissance-era painter Fra Angelico. Reworking the theme of the Annunciation--the subject of Fra Angelico's most celebrated painting--through a monumental installation, KAWS offers an unprecedented encounter between eras, forms and visions, bridging traditional iconography from Western visual culture with the immediacy and hyper-connection of contemporary life. In his work, aptly titled The Message, the mobile phone figures as the central element of the scene.

Tour the city of Venice through the panoramic paintings of one of its most celebrated chroniclersThe lagoon city of Venice was home to some of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Picasso's little-known Ovid illustrations amid the splendor of a Mannerist palazzoA painter, draftsman and sculptor, but also a photographer, engraver, set designer and ceramist, Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) excelled in every genre. He was one of the most prolific and polymorphic artists, and a poet who was passionate about Greek and Latin literature. Throughout his career, he illustrated countless books by poets such as Apollinaire, Jacob and Reverdy. In 1930 he illustrated the Metamorphoses by Ovid, a series of engravings that, with the great frescoes by painter and architect Giulio Romano (1499-1546), is the perfect echo of Romano's Palazzo Te, a palace in the suburbs of Mantua, Italy, itself a magnificent example of the Mannerist style of architecture.

The result of extensive recent research, Migrating Objects reveals Peggy Guggenheims two-decade period of collecting beyond the European and North American art with which she is usually associatedIn the 1950s and 60s, Peggy Guggenheim (1898-1979) began to turn her attentions as a collector toward the arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A sweeping overview of poetic compositions from the beloved American postwar painter known for her groundbreaking and inventive approach to abstractionCelebrated among the second generation of postwar American abstract painters, Helen Frankenthaler played a pivotal role in the transition from Abstract Expressionism to Color Field painting. Active for more than six decades, Frankenthaler emerged on the American art scene with a no-rules approach to painting, protean imagination and improvisational skills that reshaped the narrative not only for women artists but for the genre itself. With her innovative soak-stain technique, Frankenthaler explored a new relationship between color and form, expanding the potential of abstract painting in ways that continue to inspire artists today. Working with color, space, abstraction and poetry, Frankenthaler distinguished herself through her unique ability to combine technique, imagination, research and improvisation, expanding her practice beyond established canons in the pursuit of a new freedom in painting.Painting without Rules is an ambitious presentation of the poetic abstractions of one of the most significant American artists of the 20th century. It examines Frankenthaler's artistic affinities, influences and friendships by interweaving paintings created between 1953 and 2002 with select works by some of her contemporaries including Robert Motherwell, Kenneth Noland, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Anne Truitt.Helen Frankenthaler (1928-2011) was born in New York. She studied art under Rufino Tamayo, Paul Feeley and Hans Hofmann. Her first critical success was with Mountains and Sea (1952), which was emblematic of her soak-stain technique in which paint was absorbed directly into the canvas. She was included in Clement Greenberg's landmark 1964 exhibition Post-Painterly Abstraction. The term "Color Field painting" was first coined to describe her work.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A tribute to 33 women who merged science and spirituality to healing ends, as commemorated through Kiefer's monumental painting seriesPublished with Palazzo Reale.

Featuring 30-plus large-scale paintings, created by applying multiple layers of varnish, the series offers a poetic reflection on the role of female alchemists in the history of Western thought.

His art incorporates global religious traditions and occult teachings, while also reckoning with the legacy of the Third Reich.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Provocative yet deeply personal, Emin's carnal, soul-bearing mixed-media works combine corporeal and emotional painThe art of YBA mainstay Tracey Emin (born 1963) is an art of denunciation: one that utilizes the events of her life as a source of inspiration for her works in painting, neon sculpture, drawing, video, installation, photography, embroidery and sculpture. Vulnerability, crudity and physicality are all present in her works such as My Bed or her recent Lovers Grave paintings, creating an oeuvre in which desire and suffering go hand in hand. Emin candidly reveals her hopes and humiliations with an immediacy and a sexually provocative attitude that takes cues from artists such as Egon Schiele and Edvard Munch. Through a selection of historic and more recent works from public and private collections around the world, this eponymous catalog presents 30 years of Emin's work, whose controversial and lacerating aesthetics has strongly influenced the image of the female body in contemporary art.
