    Condition: New. Looking at the production and reception of replicas and multiples before the nineteenth century, this book shows what happens if a copy purposely points not to an original but to another copy? What does it matter that some serially made multiples are not id.

    Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In the last years replicated objects have gained an increasingly central position in the discourse about ancient, medieval and early modern art. 'Multiples', we are often told, lack uniqueness, invention, autonomy, and sometimes even authorship. Indeed, 'multiples' can be powerful multipliers - in that they enhance the 'aura of the originals' that they replicate - but they remain secondary indexes pointing to an 'original' imbued with significance. Yet, what happens if 'multiples' do not refer to other artifacts at all, or if they are associated with other 'multiples' rather than with a first version in the mind of their owners What happened when serially-made 'multiples' were not quite identical to each other, as was the rule with pre-modern artifacts What shaped their identity and the perception of them as identical This collection of essays explores different forms of interaction between the making of artifacts in more than one specimen and their reception before the nineteenth century. It addresses media such as metal, wax, plaster, terracotta, textiles, marble, ivory, porcelain, canvases and tables in an attempt to re-assess the current identification of the mediality of prints with that of pre-modern 'multiples' in general.

    Hardback. Condition: New. Concepts such as "art collection" and "art cabinet" and "cabinet of curiosities" are strongly embedded in the scholarly discourse of the 19th and 20th centuries. They are based on the assumption that a form-based understanding of art has higher cultural value, that collections portray the "taste" and "passion" of their owners, and that art has no practical use. These terms were used in order to describe how objects were accumulated under very different cultural conditions long before the 18th century. This volume makes analogies with contemporary collections, institutions, and forms of knowledge in order to be able to explain the accumulation and presentation of objects since Greek antiquity.

Sie basieren auf der Annahme, dass ein formgebundenes Kunstverständnis einen höheren kulturellen Wert hat, dass Sammlungen den 'Geschmack' und die 'Leidenschaft' ihrer Besitzer widerspiegeln und dass Kunst keinen praktischen Nutzen hat. Diese Begriffe wurden verwendet, um zu beschreiben, wie Objekte lange vor dem 18. Jahrhundert unter sehr unterschiedlichen kulturellen Bedingungen angehäuft wurden. Dieser Band stellt Analogien zu zeitgenössischen Sammlungen, Institutionen und Wissensformen her, um die Anhäufung und Präsentation von Objekten seit der griechischen Antike erklären zu können.

De tentoonstelling Eeuwige Lente brengt voor het eerst in vijf eeuwen een bijzondere reeks wandtapijten uit de verzameling van Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle weer bij elkaar. De reeks, vandaag deel van de collectie van het Kunsthistorisch Museum in Wenen, vormt een allegorische tuin die de fascinatie voor het antieke en de idealen van de renaissance weerspiegelt.

Culture di scambio.Medaglie e medaglisti italiani tra >Milano e Bruxelles ( 1535-71 ),a cura di Walter Cupperi ( Prefazione di Philippe Sénéchal ).pISA 2020 Edizioni della Normale Pagine 255 ills. nuovo quarto brossura -Language : Italian text - Coll. Bibl.Maison Descrizione Nei decenni centrali del XVI secolo, le corti di Carlo V, Maria d'Ungheria e Filippo II, le loro parentele, la mobilità dei loro patrimoni, i viaggi e le esperienze dei loro ministri, ufficiali e ritrattisti favorirono una rete di relazioni che sfugge ai modelli interpretativi delle storie dell'arte nazionali e regionali: le vicende della medaglia ne sono testimoni. Attraverso profili di artisti, effigiati, agenti, committenti, consulenti, donatori, fruitori e possessori di raccolte questo libro esplora le pratiche sociali e le forme di riconoscimento reciproco attivate dall'esecuzione, promozione e accettazione di microritratti. La produzione, la circolazione e la conservazione di medaglie si dimostrano cartine al tornasole utili per valutare le forme di scambio, interazione e cooperazione maturate tra Milano, Bruxelles e altri centri dei domini asburgici.
