Beauty and Being. Thomistic Perspectives,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2011 Hardback, approx. X 269 p., 150 x 230 mm. ISBN 9780888447333.
This book represents an attempt to distinguish and define what beauty is in metaphysical terms, to arrive at a better understanding of beauty as a transcendental property of being, and to establish beauty?s place in philosophy alongside truth and the good through an exploration of whether there can truly be a philosophy of beauty, or whether beauty is merely a type of aesthetic. The first part of this work outlines the history of philosophical thought on the subject, through an introduction to three great theories of beauty ? harmony, form, and relationism ? and a discussion of the evolution of the fine arts. The second part introduces first the theory of aesthetics, then the relationship between nature, being, and beauty, and finally the controversy over whether beauty is natural or a product of human knowledge and experience. The third part moves towards a philosophy of beauty in a first sense: something that is real but immaterial, something that can be understood but not seen. This idea is constructed through an examination of beauty?s relation to beings and existence, and finally through a juxtaposition of beauty with ugliness. The examination of beauty presented here makes a good argument in favour of a continued study of the topic. Etienne Gilson Series (EGS 33). Nouveau.

TITIAN'S VISION OF WOMEN: Beauty-Love-Poetry
, Skira (Thames) 2022, 2022 Hardcover,Dustjacket, 360 pages, 310 X 250 mm, about 250 coloured images, ENG ./New, ISBN 9788857243924.
The dominant role of female beauty in sixteenth-century Venice is unique both inthe history of the Republic and other parts of the world. One reason for this is theSerenissima s distinctive political-social structure, which granted women special rightsin connection with their dowry and their ability to inherit, another was Venice s pivotal role as an international cultural centre. The rise of influential publishing housesattracted renowned poets and humanists such as Pietro Bembo, Sperone Speroni andLodovico Dolce, who in their writings increasingly focused on women and their vitalrole for the family and the continuation of humanity as such. The crucial impetus forthe visual realisation of this idea came from the Serenissima s greatest artist: Titian.For him, artistic beauty was identical with female beauty. He was less interested inthe canon of exterior beauty than in a women s character, in femininity as such. Titianelevates every depiction of a woman into a celebration of womanhood.
