A significant publication of original writing on Lucian Freud, including interviews with leading contemporary artists, marking the 100th anniversary of his birth Lucian Freud (1922-2011) was one of the greatest figurative painters of the twentieth century. With an unflinching eye and an uncompromising commitment to his work, he created masterpieces that continue to inspire contemporary artists to the present day. Spanning nearly 70 years, Freud's career has often been overshadowed by his biography and celebrity. This book re-examines his paintings through a broad series of original approaches. Texts by a variety of rising and established international writers explore topics ranging from the compositional echoes of old master paintings in Freud's works, to the contextualization of his practice within the class struggles of 1980s Britain. Throughout the book, leading contemporary painters such as Tracey Emin and Chantal Joffe give insightful testimony to the relevance of Freud today. Marking the 100th anniversary of Freud's birth, this publication accompanies the first major exhibition of his work in 10 years. Presenting fresh perspectives on his paintings, it introduces Freud to a new generation of scholars and enthusiasts - demonstrating his lasting international importance.

A unique and compelling view of the work of leading contemporary artist Nalini Malani through the lens of her most recent commission This publication presents the latest work of Nalini Malani (b. 1946), recipient of the 2022 National Gallery Contemporary Fellowship with ArtFund. For over five decades, Malani's art has focused on giving a voice to the stories of those marginalized by history -particularly women. She is one of the most incisive artists of our time, and the acute analysis and poetic compassion of her experimental film, photography, painting, and drawing has influenced generations of others from the 1960s to the present day. For her first museum commission in the United Kingdom, Malani has created an immersive installation of large-scale, animated drawings inspired by the sites, histories, and collections of the National Gallery, London, and the Holburne Museum, Bath. With a floating palimpsest of digital images, Malani reveals, annotates, and shares new, underlying stories in some of Europe's best-known paintings, offering a contemporary and critical dialogue between past and present. With leading articles based on new research, sumptuous illustrations, and artist-led design, this extensive study documents the Fellowship alongside the artist's previous work.

Exploring the dialogue between the National Gallery, London and contemporary artist Rosalind Nashashibi through her work as artist in residence Rosalind Nashashibi (b. 1973) is a London-based artist known for her 16mm films, as well as her paintings and prints. Her films convey inner experiences of moments and events, often considering the politics of relations in the community and extended family, while merging everyday observations with fictional or mythological elements. Like her films, her paintings move between impressions and the more concrete depiction of forms or figures. In 2019 Nashashibi was appointed as artist in residence for 2020 by the National Gallery, London; over the course of a year she worked in close proximity to the gallery's collection, research, and teams. As the gallery's inaugural artist in residence, she has explored the ongoing dialogue between the art of the past and that of today, as well as the collection's influence on her own practice as a painter. The book includes enlightening conversations between Nashashibi and two artist colleagues, Elena Narbutaite and Lucy Skaer. Published by National Gallery Company/Distributed by Yale University Press

Alexandria was one of the main hubs of the Hellenistic world and a cultural and religious "kaleidoscope." Merchants and migrants, scientists and scholars, philosophers, and religious innovators from all over the world and from all social backgrounds came to this ancient metropolis and exchanged their goods, views, and dreams. Accordingly, Alexandria became a place where Hellenistic, Egyptian, Jewish, and early Christian identities all emerged, coexisted, influenced, and rivaled each other. In order to meet the diversity of Alexandria's urban life and to do justice to the variety of literary and non-literary documents that bear witness to this, the volume examines the processes of identity formation from a range of different academic perspectives. Thus, the present volume gathers together twenty-six contributions from the realm of archaeology, ancient history, classical philology, religious studies, philosophy, the Old Testament, narratology, Jewish studies, papyrology, and the New Testament.

Sean Scully (b.1945) is an Irish-born, American-based painter and printmaker, best known for his monumental oil paintings which draw on the traditions of Abstract Expressionism. This catalogue showcases a recent body of work inspired by the National Gallery's own collection and in particular by J.M.W. Turner's The Evening Star (c.1830). For Scully, this elegiac picture constitutes one of Turner's most profound paintings, leading to new departures in his own work. Using the motif of stripes or chequerboards, Scully evokes landscapes and architecture, horizons, fields, and coastlines, in which his contemplative forms become reminders of personal experiences and distinctive moments. Vast, bold panel paintings with richly textured surfaces are illustrated together with delicate works on paper: aquatints and luminous pastels. The accompanying text includes newly commissioned essays, and poetry by Vahni Capildeo and Kelly Grovier, while a unique photo essay by Irish novelist Eimear McBride highlights the sweeping impasto, strong brushstrokes, and vivid colors that distinguish Scully's painting.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - and. Lander - Mittelalter, Fruhe Neuzeit, Note: 2,5, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universitat Hannover (Historisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Seminar: Stadte in der Fruhen Neuzeit, Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Darstellung der wichtigsten Wirtschaftsbereiche der Stadt Siegen. Stadteauswahl auf Basis des Seminars im dem unterschiedliche Stadttypen vorgestellt wurden, in diesem Fall eine Gewerbestadt der Fruhen Neuzeit., Abstract: Das Ziel dieser Arbeit aus dem Grundstudium Geschichte soll ein Uberblick uber die Wirtschaft der Stadt Siegen in der Fruhen Neuzeit sein. Daher wird im Folgenden nicht mehr auf die Stadtgeschichte Siegens an sich, sondern in exemplarischer Form auf die Entwicklung der verschiedenen Wirtschaftszweige eingegangen. Hierbei soll aufgezeigt werden, welcher Art die Verflechtungen und Abhangigkeiten der einzelnen Gewerbe untereinander waren. Dadurch soll dargestellt werden, dass die Geschichte der Stadt Siegen in besonderem Masse von den ihr innenwohnenden Gewerben bestimmt wurde, wobei in gleichem Masse die Gewerbe von den besonderen Bedingungen des Siegerlandes profitierten. Auch soll angerissen werden, welchen Einfluss die Landesherren mit Ihren Entscheidungen fur oder wider einer bestimmten Zunft/Gruppe in der Zeit von 1400 - 1890 fur den Wirtschaftraum Siegen einnahmen. Um die Darstellung zu vereinfachen, liegt das Hauptaugenmerk auf dem Schwerpunkt der Siegerlander Wirtschaft - dem Erzbergbau und seinen anverwandten Bereichen. Zu diesem Zweck werden zunachst die einzelnen Wirtschaftszweige kurz dargestellt und im Weiteren miteinander in Relation gesetzt sowie, wo moglich, mit Zahlenmaterial unterlegt. Die Eingriffe des Landesherren und deren Wirkung werden im nachfolgenden dann anhand dreier Beispiele naher beleuchtet. Hinweis: Diese Arbeit wurde an der Universitat Hannover im Sommersemester 2004 als Studienleistung erstellt und eingereich
