Architectural Space in Eighteenth-Century Europe: Constructing Identities and Interiors explores how a diverse, pan-European group of eighteenth-century patrons - among them bankers, bishops, bluestockings, and courtesans - used architectural space and décor to shape and express identity. Eighteenth-century European architects understood the client's instrumental role in giving form and meaning to architectural space. In a treatise published in 1745, the French architect Germain Boffrand determined that a visitor could "judge the character of the master for whom the house was built by the way in which it is planned, decorated and distributed." This interdisciplinary volume addresses two key interests of contemporary historians working in a range of disciplines: one, the broad question of identity formation, most notably as it relates to ideas of gender, class, and ethnicity; and two, the role played by different spatial environments in the production - not merely the reflection - of identity at defining historical and cultural moments. By combining contemporary critical analysis with a historically specific approach, the book's contributors situate ideas of space and the self within the visual and material remains of interiors in eighteenth-century Europe. In doing so, they offer compelling new insight not only into this historical period, but also into our own.

Dreaming with Open Eyes examines visual symbolism in late seventeenth-century Italian opera, contextualizing the genre amid the broad ocularcentric debates emerging at the crossroads of the early modern period and the Enlightenment. Ayana O. Smith reevaluates significant aspects of the Arcadian reform aesthetic and establishes a historically informed method of opera criticism for modern scholars and interpreters. Unfolding in a narrative fashion, the text explores facets of the philosophical and literary background and concludes with close readings of text and music, using visual symbolism to create readings of gender and character in two operas: Alessandro Scarlatti's La Statira (Rome, 1690), and Carlo Francesco Pollarolo's La forza della virtù (Venice, 1693). Smith’s interdisciplinary approach enhances our modern perception of this rich and underexplored repertory, and will appeal to students and scholars not only of opera, but also of literature, philosophy, and visual and intellectual cultures.

"Caught between the Theatricality of the Baroque and the acute sensibility of Romanticism, art in Rome in the eighteenth century has long been a neglected area of study." "The grand scale and spectacular diversity of the period are comprehensively captured for the first time in this definitive history of the period, produced to accompany a major U.S. exhibition organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and documenting the work of over 150 artists. With over 450 illustrations, and texts by an outstanding array of experts from around the world, Art in Rome in the Eighteenth Century provides a massively authoritative survey of a fascinating era."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

After more than 15 years in business Tomasso Brothers are delighted to be hosting their spectacular debut sculpture exhibition at Adam Williams Fine Art, New York. To mark this seminal exhibition of more than 40 important works they have produced a luxurious catalogue, which aims to represent and describe the sculptures through sophisticated photographs and informative catalogue descriptions. The content of Scultura and the accompanying catalogue is a carefully selected range of sculptural works in marble, bronze and terracotta, from the early Renaissance to the Neo-Classical period. Many of the entries epitomize the artistic tastes and cultural ideals of their time and provide us with a rich visual journey through 500 years of sculpture. From the newly discovered powerful profile portrait of King Ferrante of Naples circa 1472 to the sublime beauty of Giambologna's 'Urania' and Bartolini's divine-like representation of the Emperor Napoleon, we can travel through the history of European sculpture and feast on Gods, Godesses, Emperors and Kings through the presentation of these enigmatic sculptures and the mythology, connoisseurship and Royal patronage that has created them.

Recull les ponències i comunicacions presentades i discutides dins les Jornades d’història de l’art a Catalunya, que es celebraren a Valls al juny del 2006, i que fou un marc de trobada obert entre investigadors universitaris i els estudiosos del nostre patrimoni barroc que treballen en l’àmbit dels museus, en els centres d’estudis comarcals i locals, i en el camp de la restauració-conservació. La proposta en el seu dia avançada pel Museu de Valls va ser recollida, atesa l’excel lència de la tradició artística barroca de la ciutat, amb la figura insigne de Lluís Bonifàs i Massó (1730-1786), de qui celebràvem els 275 anys del naixement, i la del seu germà Francesc Bonifàs (1735-1806), de qui es complien 200 anys de la mort. D’altra banda, l’origen vallenc de l’arquitecte i historiador Cèsar Martinell i Brunet (1888-1973), il lustre precursor en la reivindicació i en l’estudi de l’escultura i l’arquitectura barroques feien encara més adient la seu de Valls per a aquestes Jornades.
