‎Summary Homer's Odyssey is one of the most fascinating and popular texts of all time, inspiring not only artists and poets but also generating a massive amount of research. This book focuses for the first time on the Odyssey's reception in late antiquity, the period that witnesses the transformation of classical culture into the world of the middle ages. The epic's late antique pictorial reception was a selective one. Artists represented but a small canon of topics: Odysseus' encounter with the terrifying one-eyed Cyclops, with the dangerous sorceress Circe, with the bewitching song of the Sirens, and with Scylla the man-eater; a handful of iconographically diverse depictions can be related to the hero's return to Ithaca that never attracted as much attention as Odysseus' adventures in the course of the wandering. In all cases, the book stresses the close relation between viewer, or context of reception, and specific form of artistic rendering. Depending on context and intended viewer, Odysseus e.g. can be characterized as a person with whom the man in the street can identify, as a problematic and ridiculous figure, or as an example of virtue. Almost all late antique depictions of Odysseus' wanderings have been found - and produced - in the Western provinces of the Roman Empire. In the course of Roman antiquity, the Greek hero and his wanderings had become what they are still: a part of Western cultural identity. The Odyssey's late antique literary reception was much more multifaceted than the artistic one, as regards topics and geography. In this book, though, the focus will be on those topics that were dealt with in the visual arts, too. Contrasting the late antique pictorial reception with the literary one, and contrasting both with the Homeric epic, reveals the originality of late antiquity's artists and writers. Both employ the classical heritage with means and ends of their own (or of their patrons), and both are nevertheless deeply embedded in and influenced by late antique discourse, be it on religion, philosophy, slavery, heroism, or gender relations. Homers Odyssee fasziniert die Menschen seit beinahe dreitausend Jahren. Das Epos inspirierte zahlreiche Kunstschaffende aller Epochen und aller Genres und brachte enorme Mengen an Forschungsliteratur hervor. Das vorliegende Buch widmet sich erstmals der Rezeption der Odyssee in der Sp tantike, also jener Epoche, in der das kulturelle Erbe der Antike f r Mittelalter und Neuzeit sortiert, transformiert und zumindest teilweise bewahrt wurde. Analysiert werden diejenigen Episoden des Epos, die in der Sp tantike noch bildlich umgesetzt wurden: die Begegnung des Odysseus mit dem ein ugigen Riesen Polyphem, mit der Zauberin Kirke, mit den verf hrerischen Sirenen und mit der Menschenfresserin Skylla; au erdem verschiedene Momente der Heimkehr nach Ithaka, die allerdings bei weitem nicht so popul r war wie die Abenteuer der Irrfahrt. Eine Gegen berstellung von bildlicher und schriftlicher Rezeption sowie eine Gegen berstellung beider mit dem Homerischen Text macht die Eigenst ndigkeit und Originalit t der sp tantiken Rezeption deutlich. Sowohl bildende K nstler als auch Literaten verfolgten mit je eigenen Mitteln je eigene Zwecke und Aussageintentionen. Beiden gemeinsam ist die Einbettung in die Diskurse der sp tantiken Gesellschaft, zu denen sie mit ihren Interpretationen der Odyssee auch selbst einen Beitrag leisteten. Das betrifft nicht nur die Diskurse zum Thema Religion oder Philosophie, sondern auch zu Themen wie Heldentum, Sklaverei oder Geschlechterverh ltnis.

‎Crossing Parallels Agostino Carracci, Hendrick Goltzius Graphische Sammlung ETH Z rich: 9. Dezember 2020 bis 14. M rz 2021 Agostino Carracci and Hendrick Goltzius were the leading engravers of the late 16th century ? one north and the other south of the Alps. They have not only achieved revolutionary achievements in technical terms, but have also had a lasting impact on the medium of copperplate engraving with the selection and design of their image content. While there are already numerous publications on Goltzius as well as on Carracci, the obvious comparison of the two great figures of the engraving around 1600 is undertaken here for the first time. In four detailed essays and catalog texts on all exhibited engravings, the amazing parallels in the life and work of the two masters are shown, their artistic development is comparatively analyzed and the readers eyes are sharpened for the sophistication of their virtuoso engraving technique.‎

‎KERRY JAMES MARSHALL : The Graphic Work ‎

‎, Ludion, 2023 HB, 305 x 240 mm, 256 pages, ENG edition, NEW, dustjacket, illustrated in colours / b/w. ISBN 9789493039759.‎

‎Best known as a painter, Kerry James Marshall has also produced a vast graphic oeuvre that has been seldom seen and rarely documented. This catalog raisonn offers the first public account of his graphic work and is also the first in-depth study of the role of printed images and print processes in Marshall's work as a whole. One of the most important American contemporary artists, Kerry James Marshall is known for artworks that address the 'crisis of under-representation' of the black figure in the pictorial traditions of the Western world, from museums to comic books. His work has been widely celebrated in major museum retrospectives such as Kerry James Marshall: Painting and Other Stuff (Antwerp, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Madrid) in 2014 and Mastry (Chicago, New York, Los Angeles) in 2017, and through numerous awards, including a MacArthur Fellowship in 1997. An assiduous worker, he spent his youth acquiring time-honored skills of art - drawing and painting, but also wood engraving and printing. By his mid-twenties, he recalls, 'I could paint in egg tempera... I was good at printmaking. I could do woodcuts, etchings, aquatints. I knew all of those techniques.' Most of his prints have been produced not in professional print workshops, but by the artist, working alone in his studio. They range from images the size of postcards to his 50-foot-long, 12 panel woodcut Untitled (1998-99), to iterations of his ongoing magnum opus, Rythm Mastr. And while some have entered prominent museum collections, many exist only in private collections or the artist's archive and are unknown to the public. This catalog raisonn offers the first public account of these important works and the first in-depth study of the role of printed images and print processes in Marshall's work as a whole. ‎

‎Religious Connectivity in Urban Communities (1400-1550). Reading, Worshipping, and Connecting through the Continuum of Sacred and Secular‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 285 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, 12 col., 5 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503590813.‎

‎Summary The boundaries between sacred and secular in the late Middle Ages, traditionally perceived as separate domains, are nowadays perceived as porous or non-existent. This collection on religious connectivity explores a new approach to religious culture in the late Middle Ages. In assessing the porosity of the domains of sacred and secular, and of religious and lay, the contributors to this collection investigate processes of transfer of religious knowledge, literature, and artefacts, and the people involved. Religious connectivity describes people in networks. This concept emphasises dynamics and processes rather than stability, and focuses on all persons involved in transfer and appropriation, not just the producers. It is therefore a fruitful concept by which to explore medieval society and the continuum of sacred and secular. By using the lens of religious connectivity, the authors of this collection shed new light on religious activities and religious culture in late medieval urban communities.

‎, Yale University Press, 2003 Paperback, 72 pages, ENG, 255 x 205 mm, as New, ill. in colour / b/w. ISBN 9780300100044.‎

‎Through his representation of modern subjects such as ballet dancers and race horses, his constant questioning of traditional artistic practices, and his vital engagement with Parisian society, Edgar Degas (1834-1917) helped to define the beginnings of modernism in visual culture at the end of the nineteenth century. This engaging book yields new scholarship on works by Degas in the collection of the Yale University Art Gallery and provides in-depth discussion of works of art in every medium explored by this innovative artist. Extended entries by distinguished scholars including Richard Kendall and Edgar Munhall provide a complete review of the artist's working methods. The book also introduces several important pieces by Degas that have rarely been available for view by the public, including a notable wax figure and several unique prints and works on paper‎
