Abstract

For all time, artists have maintained a close relationship with the animal world, which has proved to be an inexhaustible source of inspiration. First, they received inspiration directly from their environment. Next, animals were used in art for their status as domestic friends, symbols of an intimate and familial life, as well as starting points for a fantastic imagination, particularly held in high-esteem during the Renaissance. Later in Orientalism, animal art followed the discovery of exotic fauna which appealed to contemporary artists. The animal and its wild beauty are comprehended here

Abstract

Seit Urzeiten ist die Tierwelt ein schier unerschöpflicher Fundus an Inspiration für den Künstler, der sich mit der Natur und ihren Kindern befasst. Die künstlerische Wahrnehmung des Tieres hat sich über die Jahrtausende maßgeblich verändert. Die Faszination der frühen Höhlenmaler wich bald der Liebe für das domestizierte Tier, die wiederum von einer in der Renaissance aufkommenden Ästhetisierung abgelöst wurde. Schließlich waren es der Orientalismus und ähnlich motivierte Kunstideen, die den Künstlern der alten Welt eine völlig neue Fauna nahe brachten, die aufregend, wild und exotisch schien

Abstract

Si l'animal fut tour à tour représenté par les peintres pour sa fonction symbolique, cathartique ou allégorique, il fut aussi et surtout, et ce dès les peintures rupestres, peint pour lui-même, en tant que Nature. En suspendant aux cimaises les chefs-d'oeuvre de la Beauté animale, de la Renaissance à nos jours, à l'occasion d'une exposition qui aura lieu au printemps 2012, au musée du Grand Palais (Paris), tout comme ce livre, nous montre combien la Beauté peut être brute et sans atours, ou comment par la culture l'homme revient au coeur même de ce qu'il est : un animal certes doué de raison m

Abstract

One group of ancient Egyptian drawings has captured the curiosity of scholars and laypeople alike: images of animals acting like people. They illustrate animal fables originally from a larger mythological narrative, making them an integral part of New Kingdom Thebes's religious environment. This book examines the purpose of animal fables, drawing cross cultural and temporal comparisons to other storytelling and artistic traditions. This publication is also the first thorough art historical treatment of the ostraca and papyri. The drawings' iconography and aesthetic value are carefully examined, providing further nuance to our understanding of ancient Egyptian art.
