Behind them, close to the open door, there runs - no, that is not theword, there flies, or rather there hovers - the object of my dreams,which slowly assumes the proportion of a harming nightmare. A fantasticfigure - should I call her a servant girl, or rather a classical nymph?(.) This lively, light-footed and rapid gait, this striding step,which contrasts with the aloof distance of all other figures, what isthe meaning of it all? (.) My condition varied between a bad dream anda fairy tale (.). I lost my reason. It was always she who brought lifeand movement into an otherwise calm scene. Indeed, she appeared to bethe embodiment of movement (.) but is it very unpleasant to be herlover? (.) Who is she? Where does she come from? Have I encounteredher before? I mean one and a half millennia earlier? Does she come froma noble Greek lineage, and did her great-grandmother have an affair withpeople from Asia Minor, Egypt or Mesopotamia?pAby Warburg (1866-1929) Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In his late 15th century chronicle (ca 1477-1484), Michael FabriciusFerrarinus (died between 1488-1493), prior of the Carmelite cloister inReggio Emilia, introduced the rumour that an ancient fountain had beenfound super ripam Danuvii (on the banks of the Danube) with thesculpted figure of a sleeping nymph. According to Ferrarinus, thefountain bore a peculiar epigram:HVIVS NYMPHA LOCI, SACRI CVSTODIA FONTIS,DORMIO, DVM BLANDAE SENTIO MVRMVR AQVAE.PARCE MEVM, QVISQVIS TANGIS CAVA MARMORA, SOMNVMRVMPERE. SIVE BIBAS SIVE LAVERE TACE.Many scholars have discussed the impact of the rumour as creating aprototype for Renaissance sculptures of the sleeping nymph in Rome andfor the development of the well-known genre of the sleeping Venus inpainting. Building upon the previous studies, this essay contextualizesthe phenomenon of the sleeping nymph and its textual and artistic Nachlebenfrom the point of view of the locus amoenus as silence. Thisstudy combines iconological, aesthetical-philosophical andanthropological approaches, and contributes to a better understanding ofsleep, voyeurism, water and silence within the context of the nymph'sparticular genius loci.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The meaning of tearing and splitting as a life-, love- andwisdom-generating event (for example, the tearing of the temple curtain)is profoundly rooted in the visual and literary 'bodies' of ancient andChristian thought. The primordial cosmogonic split is always sudden, isalways sharp (like a knife), appears as a flash (sudden and allencompassing) and is experienced through the whole bodily sensorium (inshivering, bliss, sigh, wind, breath). The split is the epiphany ofradical change, revolution and the transition beyond. The Greek deityKairos embodies this mystery. The reach of Kairos can be detected in thetheory of rhetoric (Sophists vs. Aristotle (385-322 BC)), in humanisticpolitics, in postmodern theology and in contemporary time-management.Iconographical studies have treated Kairos's Nachleben inByzantine and Latin visual traditions where the god is conflated withFortuna and Occasio. This essay addresses the impact of Kairos and itsiconographic Nachleben from a literary and historicalperspective, and further considers Kairos as a new art historicalparadigm. Indeed, Kairos can offer us alternative hermeneutics toreconceive the image as chronotopos, as epiphany and as intercession.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. During the Late Middle Ages a unique type of 'mixed media' recycled andremnant art arose in houses of religious women in the Low Countries:Enclosed Gardens. These are retables, sometimes with painted sidepanels, the central section filled not only with narrative sculpture,but also with all sorts of trinkets and hand-worked textiles. Adornmentsinclude relics, wax medallions, gemstones set in silver, pilgrimagesouvenirs, parchment banderoles, flowers made from textiles with silkthread, semi-precious stones, pearls and quilling (a decorativetechnique using rolled paper). The ensemble is an impressive andone-of-a-kind display and presents as an intoxicating garden. In thisessay the exceptional heritage of such Enclosed Gardens is interpretedfrom a range of approaches. The Enclosed Garden is studied as a symbolof paradise and mystical union, as the sanctuary of interiority, as thesublimation of the sensorium (in particular the sense of smell), as atypical gendered product, and as a centre of psycho-energetic creativeprocesses.
