Spanning centuries and the vastness of the Roman Empire, The Last Statues of Antiquity is the first comprehensive survey of Roman honorific statues in the public realm in Late Antiquity. Drawn from a major research project and corresponding online database that collates all the available evidence for the 'statue habit' across the Empire from the late third century AD onwards, the volume examines where, how, and why statues were used, and why these important features of urban life began to decline in number before eventually disappearing around AD 600. Adopting a detailed comparative approach, the collection explores variation between different regions-including North Africa, Asia Minor, and the Near East-as well as individual cities, such as Aphrodisias, Athens, Constantinople, and Rome. A number of thematic chapters also consider the different kinds of honorand, from provincial governors and senators, to women and cultural heroes. Richly illustrated, the volume is the definitive resource for studying the phenomenon of late-antique statues. The collection also incorporates extensive references to the project's database, which is freely accessible online.

Reading the Royal Monument in Eighteenth-Century Europe is the first in-depth study of the major role played by royal monuments in the public space of expanding cities across eighteenth-century Europe. Using the royal public statues as the basis for its examination of modern European cities, the book considers the development of urban landscapes from the creation of capital cities to the last embers of the Ancien R?me and at how the royal politics of the arts affected the cityscapes of the time. The focus of the book thereby intersects across a spectrum of disciplines, including the social and architectural history of cities, the politics of urban planning, the history of monumental sculpture, and the material culture of the eighteenth century.

There are numerous publications about Renaissance art in Florence, but books written about this subject during this era are exceptionally rare. Francesco Albertini's Memorial of many statues and paintings in the famous city of Florence of 1510 should therefore be treasured. This is the first guidebook of the city and is published only a few years after the inauguration of Michelangelo's David at Piazza della Signoria and Leonardo da Vinci's work on the Battle of Anghiari in Palazzo Vecchio. Albertini's Memorial is also one of the earliest and therefore most interesting sources about sculpture and painting in the city. The book guides the reader through the magnificent Florentine churches, convents and palazzi, which at the time were adorned with masterpieces by Ghiberti, Donatello, Masaccio, Ghirlandaio and many more great artists. This annotated and illustrated edition of Albertini's guidebook invites the reader to relive Florence and its artistic monuments during one if its most exciting periods.

Nine killed in Charleston church shooting. White supremacists demonstrate in Charlottesville. Monuments decommissioned in New Orleans and Chapel Hill. The headlines keep coming, and the debate rolls on. How should we contend with our troubled history as a nation? What is the best way forward? This first book in UGA Press’s History in the Headlines series offers a rich discussion between four leading scholars who have studied the history of Confederate memory and memorialization. Through this dialogue, we see how historians explore contentious topics and provide historical context for students and the broader public. Confederate Statues and Memorialization artfully engages the past and its influence on present racial and social tensions in an accessible format for students and interested general readers. Following the conversation, the book includes a “Top Ten” set of essays and articles that everyone should read to flesh out their understanding of this contentious, sometimes violent topic. The book closes with an extended list of recommended reading, offering readers specific suggestions for pursuing other voices and points of view.

Monumentally New York takes the reader on a fascinating 2,000-mile journey around beautiful Upstate New York and to the many small cities and towns within, which hold some of the most remarkable pieces of public art in all of the Empire State. Chuck D'Imperio includes his own “Top 30” list of statues, monuments, and memorials, and all are in New York State, but all are not in New York City. On your journey around the state, you will visit the tribute to teenager Sybil Ludington (“The Female Paul Revere”), the impressive memorial to the Dogs of War (“Canine Courage”), a grand life-sized statue of America's favorite horse champion, “Seabiscuit,” a lighthouse gift from France, the sad testimonies in stone and bronze commemorating the Irish Famine and September 11, 2001, as well as monuments to war heroes, memorials to immigrants who helped build New York State, and three different statues to three very different U.S. presidents.You will be awed by the image of Mary Jemison (“The White Woman of the Genesee”), be inspired by the powerful tribute to abolitionist John Brown, and, perhaps, even be moved to tears by the tribute to those who have given so much to America over the years, the Gold Star Mother memorial.From Syracuse to Lake Placid, from Buffalo to Albany, and from Carmel to Cooperstown, Monumentally New York is a unique and wonderful chronicle of the iconic remembrances that grace the public spaces of Upstate New York and make this region so unforgettable. The book includes photographs of each of the thirty monuments as well as directions to the town or city each is in.
