This is a book about the things people say about images. It is not
primarily concerned with specific pictures and the things people
say about them, but rather with the way we talk about the idea of
imagery, and all its related notions of picturing, imagining,
perceiving, likening, and imitating. It is a book about images,
therefore, that has no illustrations except for a few schematic
diagrams, a book about vision written as if by a blind author for a
blind reader. If it contains any insight into real, material
pictures, it is the sort that might come to a blind listener,
overhearing the conversation the sighted speakers talking about
images. My hypothesis is that such a listener might see patterns in
these conversations that would be invisible to the sighted
participant.

This is the first-ever scholarly publication devoted to the art of
Francesco de Mura (1696-1782), one of the greatest painters of the
Golden Age of Naples. De Mura's refined and elegant compositions,
with their exquisite light and coloring, heralded the rococo, and
his later style was a precursor of Neo-Classicism. His ceiling
frescoes at Monte Cassino, destoyed in World War II, rivalled those
of his celebrated Venetian contemporary, Giambattista Tiepolo
(1696-1770). Yet today, he lacks his proper place in the history of
art. This volume demonstrates why it is now time to reevaluate this
once-celebrated artist.

Essential Reading List Shusaku Endo's novel Silence, first
published in 1966, endures as one of the greatest works of
twentieth-century Japanese literature. Its narrative of the
persecution of Christians in seventeenth-century Japan raises
uncomfortable questions about God and the ambiguity of faith in the
midst of suffering and hostility. Endo's Silence took
internationally renowned visual artist Makoto Fujimura on a
pilgrimage of grappling with the nature of art, the significance of
pain and his own cultural heritage. His artistic faith journey
overlaps with Endo's as he uncovers deep layers of meaning in
Japanese history and literature, expressed in art both past and
present. He finds connections to how faith is lived in contemporary
contexts of trauma and glimpses of how the gospel is conveyed in
Christ-hidden cultures. In this world of pain and suffering, God
often seems silent. Fujimura's reflections show that light is yet
present in darkness, and that silence speaks with hidden beauty and
truth.
This volume collects research presented at the Koc University
Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) 2018
international annual symposium. It brings together researchers
engaged in the study of the decoration and technology of glazed
pottery, ranging from the early Byzantine era to the end of the
Ottoman period. Topics explored include pottery production in
Constantinople, glazed ceramic production and consumption in
medieval Thebes, pottery imports in Algiers during the Turkish
Regency, considerations of trading routes and their influences, the
relationships between Italy and the Byzantine and Ottoman world
through pottery, and more.
Our parish churches constitute a living patrimony without precise
European parallel. Their cultural riches are astonishing, not only
for their quality and quantity, but also their diversity and
interest. Fine art and architecture here combine unpredictably with
the functional, the curious and the naive, from prehistory to the
present day, to form an unsung national museum which presents its
contents in an everyday setting without curators or formal
displays. Because church treasures usually remain in the buildings
they were created for, properly interpreted they tell from
thousands of local perspectives the history of the nation, its
people and their changing religious observance. John Goodall's
weekly series in Country Life has celebrated particular objects in
or around churches that are of outstanding artistic, social or
historical importance, to underline both the intrinsic interest of
parish churches and the insights that they and their contents offer
into English history of every period. Parish Church Treasures
incorporates and significantly expands this material to tell afresh
the remarkable history of the parish church. It celebrates the
special character of churches as places to visit whilst providing
an authoritative and up-to-date history at a time when the use and
upkeep of these buildings and the care of their contents is highly
contentious.
