Abstract

This 2002 volume brings together major works by German thinkers, writing just prior to and after Kant, who were enormously influential in this crucial period of aesthetics. These texts include the first translation into English of Schiller's Kallias Letters and Moritz's On the Artistic Imitation of the Beautiful, together with translations of some of Hölderlin's most important theoretical writings and works by Hamann, Lessing, Novalis and Schlegel. In a philosophical introduction J. M. Bernstein traces the development of aesthetics from its still rationalist and mimetic construction in Lessing, through the optimistic construal of art and/or beauty as the appearance of human freedom in the work of Schiller, to Hölderlin's darker vision of art as the memory of a lost unity, and the variations of that theme - of an impossible striving after the lost ideal - which are found in the work of Schlegel and Novalis.

Abstract

"This book explores Symbolist artists' fascination with ancient Greek art and myth, and how the erotic played a major role in this. For a brief period at the end of the 19th century the Symbolist movement inspired artists to turn inwards to the unconscious mind, endeavouring to unveil the secrets of human nature through their symbolic art. But above all their greatest interest, and fear, was man (and woman's) sexuality. Building upon the traditions of Academic neoclassicism, but fired with a new zeal, they turned back to Greek art and myth for inspiration"--

Abstract

"This monograph studies the constructions of 'impressive' historical descent manufactured to create 'national', regional, or local antiquities in early modern Europe (1500-1700), especially the Netherlands. This was a period characterised by important political changes and therefore by an increased need for legitimation; a need which was met using historical claims. Literature, scholarship, art and architecture were pivotal media that were used to furnish evidence of the impressively old lineage of states, regions or families. These claims related not only to Classical antiquity (in the generally-known sense) but also to other periods that were regarded as periods of antiquity, such as the chivalric age. The authors of this volume analyse these intriguing early modern constructions of appropriate 'antiquities' and investigate the ways in which they were applied in political, intellectual and artistic contexts in Europe, especially in the Northern Low Countries"--

Abstract

"The Renaissance artist Raphael is known for his extraordinary frescoes, his sublime Madonnas, devotional altarpieces, architectural designs, and his inventive prints and tapestries. It was his use of ancient Roman models - classical sculptures, reliefs and paintings - that formed his much admired classical style, and influenced the styles of many later artists.0In 'Raphael and the Antique' Claudia La Malfa gives a full account of Raphael's prodigious career, from central Italy when he was 17 years old, to Perugia, Siena and Florence, where he first met with Leonardo and Michelangelo, to Rome where he became one of the most feted artists of the Renaissance. This book focuses and highlights Raphael's re-invention of classical models, his draughtsmanship and his concept of art, which he pursued and was still striving to perfect at the time of his death aged only 37, in 1520."

Abstract

On ne propose pas ici un ouvrage de plus sur les œuvres d'art ni sur les institutions artistiques de l'époque révolutionnaire, mais bien plutôt une étude sur la manière dont les hommes de la Révolution ont parlé de l'art et, plus particulièrement, de la peinture et de la sculpture. Du printemps de 1789 à l'automne de 1799, un discours artistique se forme et s'infléchit : il est inspiré par les thèmes fondateurs de la liberté et de la régénération, dont les contradictions et les ambiguïtés éclatent dès 1790 avec les débats sur l'iconoclasme et le patrimoine. Le premier problème qui se pose à la conscience révolutionnaire est en effet celui de gérer l'héritage de l'Ancien Régime. Le pouvoir parvient à élaborer en l'an II une doctrine qui ne variera plus. Au même moment, et au prix d'une étonnante manipulation de l'histoire, la Révolution revendique la succession de l'art universel que son discours nationalise au nom de la liberté. La conservation ou l'annexion des chefs-d'œuvre du passé se justifie avant tout par la nécessité de disposer des modèles nécessaires, selon la tradition académique, à la régénération de l'art. Il s'agit alors de savoir si la vocation des artistes français est de ressusciter Athènes, ou bien de chercher dans les annales de la République les thèmes d'un art triomphal. Aux questions sur l'unité ou la discontinuité de la Révolution, cet ouvrage voudrait apporter un élément de réponse. Les thèses élaborées en l'an II sont développées, plutôt que contestées, par les proclamations officielles, les traités théoriques, l'enseignement et la critique des années du Directoire. Tandis que la pensée lucide et courageuse d'un opposant comme Quatremère de Quincy domine de très haut les plaidoyers de circonstance, la véritable nouveauté réside dans la lente et encore timide émergence d'un statut historique qui apporte à l'art une promesse de dignité et de sauvegarde.

Abstract

In Roman Eyes, Jas Elsner seeks to understand the multiple ways that art in ancient Rome formulated the very conditions for its own viewing, and as a result was complicit in the construction of subjectivity in the Roman Empire. Elsner draws upon a wide variety of visual material, from sculpture and wall paintings to coins and terra-cotta statuettes. He examines the different contexts in which images were used, from the religious to the voyeuristic, from the domestic to the subversive. He reads images alongside and against the rich literary tradition of the Greco-Roman world, including travel writing, prose fiction, satire, poetry, mythology, and pilgrimage accounts. The astonishing picture that emerges reveals the mindsets Romans had when they viewed art--their preoccupations and theories, their cultural biases and loosely held beliefs. Roman Eyes is not a history of official public art--the monumental sculptures, arches, and buildings we typically associate with ancient Rome, and that tend to dominate the field. Rather, Elsner looks at smaller objects used or displayed in private settings and closed religious rituals, including tapestries, ivories, altars, jewelry, and even silverware. In many cases, he focuses on works of art that no longer exist, providing a rare window into the aesthetic and religious lives of the ancient Romans.
