Jerusalem, 1000-1400: Every People Under Heaven - Hardcover
A comprehensive and timely exploration of the key role Jerusalem played in shaping the art and culture of the Middle Ages
Medieval Jerusalem was a vibrant international center and home to multiple cultures, faiths, and languages. Harmonious and dissonant influences from Persian, Turkish, Greek, Syrian, Armenian, Georgian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Indian, and European traditions invested Jerusalem with a key role in shaping the art of the Middle Ages. Through compelling essays by international and interdisciplinary experts and detailed discussions of more than 200 works of art, this beautiful, authoritative volume breaks new ground in exploring the relationship between the historical and the archetypal city of Jerusalem, uncovering the ways in which the aesthetic achievements it inspired enhanced and enlivened the medieval world.
Patrons and artists from Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions alike focused their attention on the Holy City, endowing and enriching its sacred buildings and creating luxury goods for its residents. This artistic fertility was particularly in evidence between the 11th and the 14th centuries, notwithstanding often devastating circumstances—from the earthquake of 1033 to the fierce battles of the Crusades. Dazzling illustrations featuring new photography complement this unprecedented, panoptic story of Jerusalem in the Middle Ages.

Book Description gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Das mittelalterliche Jerusalem war ein bedeutendes internationales Zentrum und Heimat vieler Menschen verschiedener Kulturen, Glaubensrichtungen und Sprachen. Diese harmonischen und mitunter dissonanten Einflüsse aus orientalischen und europäischen Traditionen verliehen Jerusalem eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Gestaltung der Kunst des Mittelalters. Die zahlreichen Essays internationaler Experten und detaillierten Beschreibungen von mehr als 200 Kunstwerken vermitteln ein authentisches Bild dieser einflussreichen Metropole im Zeitraum von vier Jahrhunderten. Mäzene und Künstler aus christlichen, jüdischen und islamischen Traditionen richteten ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf die Heilige Stadt, indem sie ihre sakralen Gebäude prächtig ausstatteten und zahlreiche Luxusobjekte schufen. Diese künstlerische Ergiebigkeit war zwischen dem 11. und 14. Jahrhundert besonders ausgeprägt, trotz oft verheerender Umstände wie dem Erdbeben im Jahre 1033 oder den erbitterten Kämpfen der Kreuzzüge. Zahlreiche und hochwertige Abbildungen veranschaulichen die beispiellose Geschichte Jerusalems im Mittelalter. Ein Standardwerk zum Thema! (Text engl.)\\nErscheinungsdatum: 27.09.2016 Schlagwörter: art & art instruction, art, collections, catalogs, exhibitions, general, art, history, medieval, history, middle east, israel & palestine Sachgruppen: Geisteswissenschaften, Kunst, Musik, Geschichte, Mittelalter Anzahl Seiten: 352 Format: 31,50 x 24,00 x 4,00 cm 352 pp. Englisch.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. xvi, 335 pages : illustrations (some colour) ; 32 cm. Summary:"Medieval Jerusalem was a vibrant international center and home to multiple cultures, faiths, and languages. Harmonious and dissonant influences from Persian, Turkish, Greek, Syrian, Armenian, Georgian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Indian, and European traditions gave Jerusalem a key role in shaping art produced for both secular and religious purposes. Patrons and artists from Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions alike focused their attention on the Holy City, endowing and enriching its sacred buildings and creating luxury goods for its residents. This artistic fertility was particularly in evidence between the 11th and 14th centuries, notwithstanding often devastating circumstances--from the earthquake of 1033 to the fierce battles of the Crusades. So strong a magnet was Jerusalem that it drew out the creative imagination of even those separated from it by great distance. Through compelling essays and focused discussions of more than 200 works of art, Jerusalem, 1000-1400 breaks new ground in exploring the relationship between the historical and the archetypal city of Jerusalem and uncovers the way in which the aesthetic achievements it inspired enhanced and enlivened the medieval world."--Publisher's description.
