"The Great Gold Renaissance" covers the remarkable revival of Australia's gold industry and how it was transformed in the 1980s and 1990s to become a $5 billion a year business. How higher gold prices, new technology and Australian ingenuity led to a twenty-fold increase in gold production and how Australia led the world in innovative financing and marketing methods. Since the start of the 2000s, the gold industry has continued to flourish and Australia's gold output is now worth around $25 billion a year. As a sequel to "The Great Gold Renaissance" a new book, "Australia's Greatest Gold Boom" has just been published, covering the years from 2001 to 2021. Together, these two books provide a definitive record of this extraordinary forty-year period. "The Great Gold Renaissance" has been out of print for many years, so this second edition has been released to complement the new book. Written by someone with hands-on experience - a recognised gold industry expert and former geologist, banker and corporate executive - both books are packed with facts. They also tell many stories of the people and companies that made the Boom happen.Includes Photographs, Graphs, Glossary, Index.

Rembrandt Duits completed his PhD at the University of Utrecht , and works at the Photographic Collection of the Warburg Institute, where he also teaches Renaissance material culture. His thesis, Gold Brocade and Renaissance Painting, won the Karel van Mander Prijs for the best publication on art between 1500 and 1800. Gold Brocade and Renaissance Painting discusses the representation of Italian Renaissance patterned silks in paintings from Italy and the Southern Netherlands , from the 14th to the 16th century. It is the first study to approach this subject from the perspective of material culture, attempting to answer such questions as why the subject of luxury textiles gained so great a popularity in Renaissance painting, how artists catered for an audience that desired to have gold brocades depicted but did not always possess the financial means to own the actual fabrics, and what the skills artists developed in this field contributed to the rising social status of the medium of painting. The material culture of the grand courts at which real gold brocade played an essential role in the display of wealth and status is compared to that of the socially ambitious but less affluent middle class for whom paintings were often the only affordable substitute for courtly splendour. Thus, the book also addresses the problem of the distinction between fact and fiction, imagination and reality in the account of contemporary social history presented in paintings.

Most people would be hard pressed to name a famous artist from Renaissance France. Yet sixteenth-century French kings believed they were the heirs of imperial Rome and commissioned a magnificent array of visual arts to secure their hopes of political ascendancy with images of overflowing abundance. With a wide-ranging yet richly detailed interdisciplinary approach, Rebecca Zorach examines the visual culture of the French Renaissance, where depictions of sacrifice, luxury, fertility, violence, metamorphosis, and sexual excess are central. Zorach looks at the cultural, political, and individual roles that played out in these artistic themes and how, eventually, these aesthetics of exuberant abundance disintegrated amidst perceptions of decadent excess. Throughout the book, abundance and excess flow in liquids-blood, milk, ink, and gold-that highlight the materiality of objects and the human body, and explore the value (and values) accorded to them. The arts of the lavish royal court at Fontainebleau and in urban centers are here explored in a vibrant tableau that illuminates our own contemporary relationship to excess and desire. From marvelous works by Francois Clouet to oversexed ornamental prints to Benvenuto Cellini's golden saltcellar fashioned for Francis I, Blood, Milk, Ink, Gold covers an astounding range of subjects with precision and panache, producing the most lucid, well-rounded portrait of the cultural politics of the French Renaissance to date.

The great turning point of Western civilization that we call the Renaissance - the rebirth of literature, art, architecture, and philosophy in Europe from the fourteenth through the seventeenth century - marked the emergence of the modern world from the dark ages. This ingeniously organized, profusely illustrated book presents the entire epoch of the Renaissance through a spectacular collection of images, offering all the tools anyone needs to explore this age of reawakening, invention, and achievement. More than 1,000 illustrations - of paintings, sculpture, architecture, drawings, and engravings - are grouped to present more than a hundred pertinent topics. The topics themselves are divided among eight major themes covering every aspect of intellectual, political, religious, economic, social, technological, artistic, and architectural life in the Renaissance, all extensively cross-referenced.
