The Network of Cassinese Arts in Renaissance Italy (English, German, Italian, Hardcover): Alessandro Nova, Giancarla Periti The Network of Cassinese Arts in Renaissance Italy (English, German, Italian, Hardcover)

From the late 15th to the mid-16th century, an impressive corpus of architecture, sculpture, and painting was created to embellish monastic sites affiliated with the Benedictine Cassinese Congregation of Italy. A religious order of humanistically trained monks, the Cassinese engaged with the most eminent artists and architects of the early modern period, supporting the production of imagery and architecture that was often highly experimental in nature: from Raphael's Sistine Madonna in Piacenza to Andrea Riccio's Moses/Zeus Ammon, from Andrea Palladio's church of San Giorgio Maggiore (Venice) to the superbly crafted choirstalls of San Severino and Sossio (Naples). Applying a network framework to the congregation's infrastructure of monasteries makes clear that the circulation of sophisticated Renaissance art and architecture constituted only a segment of the monks' investment in the arts. Monks also served as custodians of an antique monumental heritage and popular votive images, assuring the survival of ancient buildings and artifacts of limited aesthetic value that supplied opportunities for early modern masters to confront an array of artworks for the reinvention of reformed Christian art and architecture. Text in English, Italian and German.

The Annunciation: a specific event recounted in the Bible and often represented in artworks, but also the prototype of many other announcements throughout the history of Western culture. This volume proposes new readings of pictorial Annunciations from the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period - treating aspects such as witnesses, inscriptions and architecture - as well as analyses of some visual echoes, reenactments of the announcement to Mary in sacred and profane contexts up to the twenty-first century. Among the latter are included Venetian decoration glorifying the state, a Jean-Luc Godard film, a video art piece by Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Lars von Trier's Melancholia and a saint's bedroom turned into a pilgrimage site.

Public places provide the stage for the social life of a city, and this is why they have always been the preferred site for the display of sculptural works. Reaching beyond artistic claims and in concert with the surrounding architecture, they mark social, political, legal, and ritual spaces. Like chess pieces, they are placed, realized, and replaced strategically, some slipping from their assigned role and taking on transformed meaning under new rulers. The 14 contributions of this anthology shine a light on the spatial interplay of sculpture and urban environments from the Early Modern Age to the present.

In The Book of the Wind Alessandro Nova has selected texts and images to create a history of the wind that illustrates his belief that the artistic representation of the invisible, the metaphorical nature of the phenomenon, and the challenge that it presents for perception require increasing our inner world through an expansion of our perceptual horizon.

Florenz im spaten 13. Jahrhundert - es ist die Zeit gesellschaftlicher Umbruche, der Vertreibung von Familien und politischer Gruppen. In den Wirren wachsen die Grundlagen fur eine der fruchtbarsten Epochen abendlandischer Kunst: Die Zeit Dantes, Giottos und Arnolfos di Cambio. Die Dominikanerkirche Santa Maria Novella wird als erster gotischer Bau in Florenz vollendet. Ihre Architektur und Ausstattung bleiben lange ein Orientierungspunkt fur die Kunst des Trecento. Aber es sind die Grabmaler, die den Schlussel fur das Verstandnis der Kirche bieten: Die Bogengraber, Grabplatten und monumentalen Bischofsgrabmaler verweisen auf die gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhange. Es wird Mode, sich bei den Fratres bestatten zu lassen und ein Grabmal an und in dieser Kirche bedeutet gesellschaftliche Prasenz.

Platzanlagen sind gestaltete Elemente von Stadten, die ganz wesentlich deren Erscheinungsbild pragen. Sie schaffen Raum fur soziale Interaktion und entziehen sich der hohen Bebauungsdichte. In der westlichen Stadtkultur haben sie durch ihre besondere Auspragung die Vorstellung vom oeffentlichen Raum geformt. In ihrer architektonischen und monumentalen Ausgestaltung greifen Platze aber nicht nur in die Stadt ein, sondern auch in Raume des Umlands oder ubergeordneter politischer Einheiten. Platze schaffen Verbindungen zwischen Territorien, sind aber auch selbst vielfach inhaltlich besetzt und durch raumliche Anspruche ihrer Bauherren strukturiert. Die Anthologie versammelt elf Beitrage zu europaischen Platzanlagen von der Antike bis ins 20. Jahrhundert, die auf unterschiedliche Weise von Territorialitat gekennzeichnet sind. Die Fachgeschichte der raumbezogenen kunstgeschichtlichen Platzforschung wird hierbei grundsatzlich reflektiert.
