A sweeping history of premodern architecture told through the material of stone Spanning almost five millennia, Painting in Stone tells a new history of premodern architecture through the material of precious stone. Lavishly illustrated examples include the synthetic gems used to simulate Sumerian and Egyptian heavens; the marble temples and mansions of Greece and Rome; the painted palaces and polychrome marble chapels of early modern Italy; and the multimedia revival in 19th-century England. Poetry, the lens for understanding costly marbles as an artistic medium, summoned a spectrum of imaginative associations and responses, from princes and patriarchs to the populace. Three salient themes sustained this “lithic imagination”: marbles as images of their own elemental substance according to premodern concepts of matter and geology; the perceived indwelling of astral light in earthly stones; and the enduring belief that colored marbles exhibited a form of natural—or divine—painting, thanks to their vivacious veining, rainbow palette, and chance images.

Colored marble turned the massive structures of ancient Rome into gleaming facades and formed the multicolored sculptures that decorated buildings and monuments--sights now largely lost to us. Radiance in Stone seeks to restore our vision of this precious medium. Created for the first exhibition devoted to the use of colored marble in ancient sculpture, at Emory University Museum, this stunning catalog includes sculpted works and examples of colored marble quarried throughout Asia Minor, Greece, North Africa, and Italy. Three extensive scholarly essays, by Maxwell L. Anderson, Antonio Giuliano, and Leila Nista, survey the history of colored marble in Italy, and guest contributors provide detailed essays to accompany each of the brilliant color photographs of colored marble artifacts. Samples of eighteen colored marbles at the end of the catalog render the magnificence of the stone and of the works of art created from it.

Passages aims to provide an interdisciplinary and international focal point for transnational and transcultural studies. Until now such work has mostly been created from, and conveyed in, specific disciplinary languages. Passages is avowedly interdisciplinary. It regards both "transnational" and "transcultural" not as belonging to identifiable schools of thought, but as descriptions for a dynamic interconnection across disciplines. The journal examines the world of the twenty-first century from the dynamic emergence of social, textual, political and economic grounds.
