A panoramic history of the antiquarians whose discoveries transformed Renaissance culture and gave rise to new forms of art and knowledge In the early fifteenth century, a casket containing the remains of the Roman historian Livy was unearthed at a Benedictine abbey in Padua. The find was greeted with the same enthusiasm as the bones of a Christian saint, and established a pattern that antiquarians would follow for centuries to come. The Art of Discovery tells the stories of the Renaissance antiquarians who turned material remains of the ancient world into sources for scholars and artists, inspirations for palaces and churches, and objects of pilgrimage and devotion. Maren Elisabeth Schwab and Anthony Grafton bring to life some of the most spectacular finds of the age, such as Nero’s Golden House and the wooden placard that was supposedly nailed to the True Cross. They take readers into basements, caves, and cisterns, explaining how digs were undertaken and shedding light on the methods antiquarians—and the alchemists and craftspeople they consulted—used to interpret them. What emerges is not an origin story for modern archaeology or art history but rather an account of how early modern artisanal skills and technical expertise were used to create new knowledge about the past and inspire new forms of art, scholarship, and devotion in the present. The Art of Discovery challenges the notion that Renaissance antiquarianism was strictly a secular enterprise, revealing how the rediscovery of Christian relics and the bones of martyrs helped give rise to highly interdisciplinary ways of examining and authenticating objects of all kinds.

The term "classical" is used to describe everything from the poems of Homer to entire periods of Greek and Roman antiquity. But just how did the concept evolve? This collection of essays by leading classics scholars from the United States and Europe challenges the limits of the current understanding of the term. The book seeks not to arrive at a final definition, but rather to provide a cultural history of the concept by exploring how the meanings of "classical" have been created, recreated, and rejected over time. The book asks questions that have been nearly absent from the scholarly literature. Does "classical" refer to a specific period of history or to the artistic products of that time? How has its definition changed? Did those who lived in classical times have some understanding of what the term "classical" has meant? How coherent, consistent, or even justified is the term? The book's introduction provides a generous theoretical and historical overview. It is followed by eleven chapters in which the contributors argue for the existence not of a single classical past, but of multiple, competing classical pasts. The essays address a broad range of topics--Homer and early Greek poetry and music, Isocrate, Hellenistic and Roman art, Cicero and Greek philosophy, the history of Latin literature, imperial Greek literature, and more. The most up-to-date and challenging treatment of the topic available, this collection will be of lasting interest to students and scholars of ancient and modern literature, art, and cultural history.

Bringing together an international range of contributors from the fields of practice, theory and history, this book takes a fresh look at occupation. It argues that occupation is a prospect that begins with ruin--a residue from the past, an implied or even a resounding presence of something previous that holds the potential for transformation. This prospect invites us to repudiate, re-imagine and re-define lived space, thereby asserting occupation as an act of revolution. Authors drawn from the fields of architecture, urbanism, interior architecture, dance dramaturgy, art history, design and visual arts, cultural studies and media studies provide a unique, holistic view of occupation, examining topics such as: the authority of architecture; architecture as an act of revolution; women in hypersexual space; occupation as a serialized act of ruin; and the definition of space as repudiation. They discuss how acts that re-invent territory and/or shift boundaries--psychological, social and physical--affect identity and demonstrate possession. This theme of occupation is significant and topical at a time of radical flux, generated by the proliferation of hypermedia, and also by the dramatically shifting environmental, political and economic context of this era. The book concludes by asserting that it is through occupation (private and public: real, virtual, remembered, re-invented) that we appear or disappear as the individual or collective self, because the spaces we construct assert particular agendas which we may either contest or live in accord with.

This book is devoted to the veiled message transmitted in the works of famous authors over a period of centuries. Esoteric literature is the massive body of Western and other writings containing a philosophical "contraband"-ever the same under a deceptive variety of surfaces or veils. In the words of Marcel Proust, "the great writers have never done but one work." Alfred de Vigny- a nineteenth century poet, novelist and playwright- belongs to the literary brotherhood involved in the transmission of the concealed message. Rabelais, Voltiare, Anatole France, Ibsen and Proust are only a few of his fellow-smugglers. English and American literatures have their share of such writers. So does the literary heritage of other European nations and of Latin America. This book contains a glossary of major key-words of the verbal "algebra" used by esoteric writers. Sensitive readers are encouraged to read the biography and the glossary first and the poetry of Vigny next. This will enable some of them to discover by and for themselves the full beauty and depth of the texts. Extraordinary findings await the esoteric readers of the literary production of Vigny. There are hints of the greatness of Atlantis. There is a vast panorama of Time and Space. There are suggestions of a startling view of the inner structure of planet Earth, a view that is also reflected in the various utopias of classical authors. Last but not least, there is the generally unsuspected, radiant reality of the works and the life of Vigny. Please visit: www.degn.org/Bonhomme

Contada por el pintor toledano en primera persona, La pintura hecha enigma: El Greco, retrata la vida del Greco desde su nacimiento en la isla de Creta y su paso por Venecia y Roma, a sus vicisitudes en Toledo, la capital de las tres culturas que lo acogiera amorosamente y de donde jamás iba a salir hasta su muerte. Emergen en el relato pintores como Tiziano, Tintoretto y Rafael, cardenales y papas, reyes y escritores como Miguel de Cervantes. El meollo de la novela son los amores del genio del pincel con su amante Jerónima y la forma de vida en la Ciudad Imperial, embrujada, judaizante, mágica y tolerante. Toledo será por siempre la ciudad del Greco y el Greco no se entiende sin la ciudad del Tajo.

«Abbiamo forse smarrito la ragione profonda per cui davvero ci interessiamo al patrimonio culturale e alla storia dell'arte: la forza di liberazione con cui apre i nostri occhi e il nostro cuore a una dimensione "altra".» Così scriveva Tomaso Montanari, e da qui prende le mosse questo libro, che rappresenta prima di tutto l'omaggio di un toscano alla bellezza della propria regione, una terra considerata l'«Italia dell'Italia». Una terra, potremmo dire, in cui tutto è un'espressione della fede cristiana del popolo: non solo i capolavori dei tanti artisti che vi sono nati o che nei secoli l'hanno amata, anche i muri delle città e perfino le vigne e i cipressi che ammiriamo nella sua inconfondibile campagna. Antonio Socci ci accompagna alla scoperta di un luogo magico abitato da mistici, poeti, pensatori, mercanti, artisti, banchieri, artigiani e contadini: quei «maledetti toscani» così rissosi, ma tutti, santi e peccatori, con la stessa fede (e lo stesso stupore) di fronte a Dio che si è fatto carne ed è «venuto ad abitare in mezzo a noi». E con la stessa tenerezza verso la Madre di Dio. Con una guida d'eccezione, passeggeremo fra le vie di Firenze, Pisa, Lucca e Siena, andando alla ricerca del lato più autentico della Grande Bellezza, troppo spesso trasformata in un immenso emporio delle meraviglie, in un luna park preso d'assalto da centinaia di turisti. Al contrario, nelle pagine di questo libro, che sono passi di un pellegrinaggio, ci sarà concesso il tempo di osservare, contemplare, ascoltare, toccare e assaporare, come si fa con un buon vino. E il nostro cammino non si fermerà alle città d'arte: viaggeremo dalla Maremma alle Alpi Apuane; da Certaldo, il paese di Boccaccio, a Vinci, dov'è nato Leonardo; ci affacceremo sull'ondulato mare di colline della Val d'Orcia e percorreremo i mistici crinali appenninici del Casentino e del Pratomagno, che narrano storie di eremiti, di api e di miele, di silenzi immensi e foreste misteriose.

The perception that the early sixteenth century saw a culmination of the Renaissance classical revival - only to degrade into mannerism shortly after Raphael's death in 1520 - has been extremely tenacious; but many scholars agree that this tidy narrative is deeply problematic. Exploring how we can reconceptualize the High Renaissance in a way that reflects how we research and teach today, this volume complicates and deepens our understanding of artistic change. Focusing on Rome, the paradigmatic centre of the High Renaissance narrative, each essay presents a case study of a particular aspect of the culture of the city in the early sixteenth century, including new analyses of Raphael's stanze, Michelangelo's Sistine Ceiling and the architectural designs of Bramante. The contributors question notions of periodization, reconsider the Renaissance relationship with classical antiquity, and ultimately reconfigure our understanding of 'high Renaissance style'.
