Half a millennium later Mantegna is well-remembered; yet while his importance in any account of a Western Tradition of painting has long been beyond dispute, it has been and remains under-examined and misunderstood. In this provocative re-assessment, based on his Betty Allison Rand lectures at the University of North Carolina 2017, Stephen J. Campbell shows that Mantegna has served the function of illustrating early Renaissance painting, whether the principles of a "humanist theory of art" as prescribed in the De pictura of Alberti, with its elaboration of perspective techniques, or the preoccupation with antiquity and its reconstruction. While he is rightly regarded a crucial nexus of interaction between the world of the artisan, of the court, and of intellectual life, Mantegna?s importance is still perceived to lie in an early formulation of what is called the "classical tradition," destined to be surpassed after his death by Raphael and his followers. Campbell argues that the place of normativity or typicality that Mantegna occupies in the History of Art ? "Early Renaissance artist," "artist as antiquarian," "Albertian perspectivist," has kept from view the more radical potential of his work for a re-description of early Renaissance painting. In particular, this study of the artist?s major works re-open the questions of "humanist art," of the relationship between painting and intellectual life, of image-making as a form of discourse that bears a far from passive or ancillary relationship to poetry, history, or rhetoric. Mantegna?s work is shown to challenge and complicate prevailing understandings of the way works of art address their beholders and construct their spatial milieu, of the materiality of painting and the relationship of painting and writing, and the volatile ideologies of classical antiquity as a component of Renaissance painting. |  Aggiungi al Carrello |

The Mosaics of Aphrodisas in Caria. The Corpus of Mosaic Pavements in Turkey, 2.
| Edizione: | Brepols Publishers, 1991 | | Collana: | Subsidia Mediaevalia |
Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Testo remainders al momento non procurabile | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 24,00 | | Descrizione | A detailed history of the city of Aphrodisias is only just beginning to emerge as the results of many years of excavations are gradually analyzed. The excavated physical remains of the city show many phases of its life, from prehistoric to Greek Roman and Byzantine. Throughout these centuries many changes took place. Even the name of the city was changed from Aphrodisias to Stauropolis, later to Caria, and eventually, in modern Turkish, to Geyre. The mosaic pavements of Aphrodisias in Caria are not numerous, but they do cover a wide time span, ranging from the third century BC to the middle of the fifth century AD, a period of approximately seven centuries. They thus provide a representative sampling of an active and thriving commerce in the production of mosaic pavements, both opus sectile and tessellated.

The Mosaics of Antioch. The Corpus of Mosaic Pavements in Turkey, 1.
| Edizione: | Brepols Publishers, 1988 | | Collana: | Subsidia Mediaevalia |
Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Testo remainders al momento non procurabile | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 39,00 | | Descrizione | The excavations in the late 1930's at Antioch, Daphne and Selucia revealed over three hundred mosaic pavements. These were published as one group in 1947 by Doro Levi under the title Antioch Mosaic Pavements, even though the geographical area extended well beyond the ancient city of Antioch. For many years that monumental work has provided the basic framework for the history and dating of mosaics in the Roman, Late Antiquity and Early Byzantine periods. However, it has long been out of print, many of the comparanda have been redated, several pavements have changed locations, and some of the pavements are incompletely published.
This new, revised edition deals only with the pavements found in the city of Antioch. The material is organized according to each individual building, rather than on a proposed chronological system as in the original publication. Each pavement is considered in its entirety, including all geometrical borders, so there is less of a purely iconographical emphasis. Much of the comparative material used in past publications of the Antioch pavements has been redated in recent years, and that redating is discussed here for the Antioch pavements. Where necessary new comparanda have been selected, using only mosaics that have firm contextual dating. There is also a useful summary of the geometric motifs, prepared according to the system developed by l'Association Internationale pour l'Étude de la Mosaïque Antique for recording these motifs.
