In "Art in the Netherlands," Hippolyte Taine provides an intricate examination of the Dutch artistic tradition, focusing particularly on its evolution during the Golden Age. Taine employs a methodical approach, combining historical analysis with aesthetic critique to explore the interplay between social, political, and religious influences on art. His style marries scholarly rigor with vivid descriptions, illuminating the works of key figures such as Rembrandt and Vermeer through the lens of cultural context. This book is not merely an art historical survey but a deeper inquiry into how the ethos of Dutch society shaped its visual culture. Hippolyte Taine, a prominent French critic and historian, was profoundly influenced by the philosophical movements of his time, particularly the ideas of positivism and empiricism. His academic background and interdisciplinary studies in philosophy, history, and aesthetics led him to explore the relationship between art and its societal framework, positioning him uniquely to analyze the Dutch masters. Taines passion for understanding how culture and environment inform artistic expression is palpable throughout his work. "Art in the Netherlands" is indispensable for students of art history and enthusiasts alike. Taines compelling narrative and insightful commentary invite readers to not only appreciate the beauty of Dutch art but also to understand its significance within a broader historical context. This book is a critical resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of arts connection to the socio-cultural dynamics of its time.

This volume presents a timely contribution to the growing body of scholarship on the apocryphal writings and their reception in the Middle Ages, especially in connection with visual representation. It aims to bridge what often remains disconnected, the visual art and the written text, the early Christian roots and medieval reception, the East and the West, as well as methodologies of various disciplines. The studies in this volume firstly investigate issues related to the Virgin Mary, and through them, also the status, function, and identity of women. Mary and the female element thus represent significant models and/or background figures in fields pertaining to theology, religious studies, textual studies, manuscript studies, and art history in a trans-disciplinary perspective. Secondly, the studies focus on the apostles and the Last Judgment, their visual representations and the use of apocryphal sources. The volume is divided in two parts according to two major topics: Part I dealing with Mary in the Apocrypha, and Part II focusing on the Apostles and the Last Judgment.

This Lanzis work features the history of painting in Italy from the period of the revival of the fine arts to the end of the 18th century. The method that the author applies in treating of each school is as follows: he first gives a general character of each school; then he distinguishes it into three, four, or more epochs, according as its style underwent changes with the change of taste. A few celebrated painters, who have swayed the public taste, and given a new tone to the art, are placed at the head of each epoch. He has also taken notice of some arts which are analogous to painting, and though they differ from it in the materials employed, or the manner of using them, may still be included in the art; for example, engraving of prints, inlaid and mosaic work, and embroidering tapestry. The author commences by treating in the two first volumes of that part of Italy, which, through the genius of Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Rafael, became first conspicuous, and first exhibited a decided character in painting. Those artists were the ornaments of the Florentine and Roman schools, from which he proceeds to two others, the Sienese and Neapolitan. About the same time Giorgione, Tiziano and Correggio, began to flourish in Italy; three artists, who as much advanced the art of coloring, as the former improved design; and of these luminaries of Upper Italy are treated in the third and fourth volumes. Then follows the school of Bologna, in which the attempt was made to unite the excellences of all the other schools: this commences the fifth volume; and on account of proximity it is succeeded by that of Ferrara, and Upper and Lower Romagna. The school of Genoa, which was late in acquiring celebrity, succeeds, and the book is concluded with that of Piedmont, which, though it cannot boast so long a succession of artists as those of the other states, has merits sufficient to entitle it to a place in a history of painting.

A History of Art in Ancient Egypt in two volumes is a study of Egyptian arts and of their connection with the national religion and civilization written by French archeologists and historians Georges Perrot and Charles Chipiez. The aim of the work was to trace the course of the great evolution which culminated in the age of Pericles and came to an end in that of Marcus Aurelius. That evolution forms a complete entirety an unbroken chain of cause and effect uniting the two eras. Using carefully selected examples authors prove that the art of the Egyptians went through the same process of development as those of other nationalities, earlier and later ones, and that the unique quality of the sculptures and paintings of the Nile Valley was a persistent affinity to simplification, which comes in part from the habit created by writing the hieroglyphic and in part from the materials used.

Neu mit Ortsverzeichnis!Die Kunst der muslimischen Bevolkerung, die auch nach der Reconquista in Spanien blieb, nimmt unbestritten eine einzigartige Stellung innerhalb der islamischen Kunstformen ein: Sie ist die sichtbare Manifestation eines wirklichen kulturellen Miteinanders, einer Verschmelzung zweier Kulturen, die trotz ihres politischen und religiosen Antagonismus eine fruchtbare kunstlerische Romanze eingingen. Die fur ihre Baukunst beruhmten Mudejaren errichteten fur die christlichen Neuankommlinge unzahlige Palaste, Kloster und Kirchen unter schopferischer Bewahrung islamischer Formen. Die verschiedenen Regionen, durch die diese Ausstellungsstrae fuhrt, sind die wichtigsten Statten dieser Kunstwerke, die in ihrer groen Zahl und den vielfaltigen Varianten von der Vitalitat des Mudejar-Stils zeugen.13 Routen laden ein, 124 Museen, Denkmaler und archaologische Statten u. a. in Madrid, Guadalajara, Zaragoza, Tordesillas, Toledo, Guadalupe and Sevilla zu entdecken.

The mood of systemic crisis that has marked the early 21st century has been accompanied by an upsurge in Marxist thought in a whole range of domains and extends to art history. In this volume 19 scholars from different generations, different national contexts and with different relationships to Marxism reflect on the status of 18 "keywords" with special pertinence to Marxist art-historical inquiry today. Starting point of the researches was the knowledge that while certain keywords have been crucial to recent developments in Marxist art history and cultural theory more broadly, others seem to have slipped out of view. The scholars are not so much interested in the "historical semantics" of words although that plays some role in the essays as in the present state of Marxist art history.

In about the 11th century BC, the Shang Dynasty declined in national strength, and was destroyed by King Wu of Zhou and a capital was established in Haojing- west of what is now Xian, in Shanxi Province. This period is known as the Western Zhou Dynasty. Handicrafts were monopolised by the royal family and were characterised by more extensive distribution than the Shang Dynasty with more workshops and finer division of labour. Jade was only one of the many handicrafts and as something of value was very popular among royals and vassals. The pieces of importance were artefacts are: the Y3 Tomb of the Gongyu State in Baoji of Shaanxi, Guo State Tombs in Sanenxia, Luoyang, Henan Province and the Jing State tomb of Gong Yu State in Houma of Shanxi. From this period there are also bronze wares and ceramics. In this period bronze wares changed in type, shape and inscription, emblazonary and casting. Ceramics developed significantly and hand stamped hand-made pottery flourished. This book, the second in a ten-volume collection, brings to the English-speaking world a series of books from China which has been complied by an Expert Committee of the Chinese Society of Cultural Relics. There are 383 descriptions.

Motivado por uma investigaço radical sobre o ser humano e suas propriedades e possibilidades existenciais, o autor buscou construir e inventar uma ontologia do restauro, requerendo, para tanto, uma Hermeneutica do Restauro, que tambem e uma "fenomenologia da presença", compreendendo como o constructo Dasein se define como "cura", pois o ser humano e um ser pertencente a "cura", e intuindo como o termo "cura" pode ser ressignificado no termo "restauro".
