"Krippenausstellungen, Krippenvereine, Krippensammlungen in Museen bezeugen das Interesse an diesem besonderen Zugang zum Weihnachtsfest, wenn auch häusliche Weihnachtskrippen - die Gründe sind vielfältig - immer seltener zu finden sind. Klaus Bergdolt erkundet die kulturhistorischen Zusammenhänge der Weihnachtskrippe von den Anfängen bis ins 19. und 20. Jahrhundert. Historische, philosophische, theologische und ästhetische Faktoren wirkten auf ihre Entwicklung ein. Zahlreiche Motive und Details sind heute erklärungsbedürftig, nicht nur die Geburt Jesu in einem Stall, sondern auch der Stern von Bethlehem, das Auftauchen der Magier, Ochs und Esel ... Interessant sind die Entwicklungen und Varianten der europäischen Krippengeschichte, deren Blütezeit zwischen 1650 und 1850 lag. Italien und der südliche deutsche Sprachraum bilden einen besonderen Schwerpunkt"--

Divine Love : The Art of the Nativity' explores the ways in which the birth of Christ, at the heart of the Christian mystery, has been depicted from the earliest times. The book is thematic rather than chronological. Here Sarah Drummond explores the legends and traditions that have played into the way artists have visualised the Nativity. She discovers how, and why, the images and the elements that are shown evolved have. We learn about the essential ingredients concerning the Nativity and about the layers of meaning that the images reveal; and how have artists found ways to express both the human and the Divine natures of the Christ Child?00Sarah Drummond studied art history in Paris and later did postgraduate studies at the Courtauld, SOAS and Birkbeck. Her professional background was in journalism, mainly as a freelance features writer. She has travelled extensively. Her interest in the subject of the Nativity goes back many decades, and during the gestation of this work she has visited museums, galleries and churches all over Europe and North America. She has observed the vast majority of the works illustrated in the book, many of which can be studied in their original settings.

"From the bestselling author of SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome, the fascinating story of how images of Roman autocrats have influenced art, culture, and the representation of power for more than 2,000 yearsWhat does the face of power look like? Who gets commemorated in art and why? And how do we react to statues of politicians we deplore? In this book-against a background of today's "sculpture wars"-Mary Beard tells the story of how for more than two millennia portraits of the rich, powerful, and famous in the western world have been shaped by the image of Roman emperors, especially the "twelve Caesars," from the ruthless Julius Caesar to the fly-torturing Domitian. Twelve Caesars asks why these murderous autocrats have loomed so large in art from antiquity and the Renaissance to today, when hapless leaders are still caricatured as Neros fiddling while Rome burns.Beginning with the importance of imperial portraits in Roman politics, this richly illustrated book offers a tour through 2,000 years of art and cultural history, presenting a fresh look at works by artists from Memling and Mantegna to the nineteenth-century African American sculptor Edmonia Lewis, as well as by generations of now-forgotten weavers, cabinetmakers, silversmiths, printers, and ceramicists. Rather than a story of a simple repetition of stable, blandly conservative images of imperial men and women, Twelve Caesars is an unexpected tale of changing identities, clueless or deliberate misidentifications, fakes, and often ambivalent representations of authority.From Beard's reconstruction of Titian's extraordinary lost Room of the Emperors to her reinterpretation of Henry VIII's famous Caesarian tapestries, Twelve Caesars includes some fascinating detective work and offers a gripping story of some of the most challenging and disturbing portraits of power ever created.Published in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC"--

In a lucid history of what used to be termed "the Dark Ages," Judith Herrin outlines the origins of Europe from the end of late antiquity to the coronation of Charlemagne. She shows that the clash between nascent Islam and stubburn Byzantium was the central contest that allowed "Europe" to develop, and she thereby places the rise of the West in its true Mediterranean context. Her inquiry centers on the notion of "Christendom." Instead of taking medieval beliefs for granted or separating theology from politics, she treats the faith as a material force. In a path-breaking account of the arguments over Christian doctrine, she shows how the northern sphere of the Roman world divided into two distinct and self-conscious imperial units, as the Arabs swept through the southern regions.One of the most interesting strands of the author's argument concerns religious art and iconoclasm. Her book shows how the impact of Islam's Judaic ban on graven images precipitated both the iconoclast crisis in Constantinople and the West's unique commitment to pictorial narrative, as justified by Pope Gregory the Great.
