DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book examines the early development of the graphic arts from the perspectives of material things, human actors and immaterial representations while broadening the geographic field of inquiry to Central Europe and the British Isles and considering the reception of the prints on other continents. The role of human actors proves particularly prominent, i.e. the circumstances that informed creators’, producers’, owners’ and beholders’ motivations and responses. Certainly, such a complex relationship between things, people and images is not an exclusive feature of the pre-modern period’s print cultures. However, the rise of printmaking challenged some established rules in the arts and visual realms and thus provides a fruitful point of departure for further study of the development of the various functions and responses to printed images in the sixteenth century. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, print history, book history and European studies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA rich compendium of masterworks from the golden age of printmaking In the 1500s, the printed image functioned as a tool for storytelling. In addition to being vehicles for Christian subjects, engravings, etchings and woodcuts introduced many Europeans to the myths and aesthetics of Greco-Roman antiquity. These innovative printmaking technologies ensured the widespread distribution of figural motifs that fueled the development of Mannerism, which became the dominant style of the Late Renaissance. Mannerism privileged theatrical effects, a unique ideal of beauty and a collapsed perspective, characteristics that especially lent themselves to print reproduction. Renaissance Impressions offers a rich survey of this golden age of printmaking through a selection of works from the Kirk Edward Long Collection, one of the world's most extensive private collections of 16th-century prints, with pieces by Michelangelo, Raphael and others.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKKolb has produced a thoroughly researched essay on this painting, which is in the Getty Museum. The study focuses on Brueghel's depiction of nature, especially his exacting representation of identifiable species of animals and birds, the names of which are listed. Brueghel's collaboration with other painters, his and other painters' re-use of the same theme and composition, and the history and practice of natural history collection and representation are central themes. The volume, which is printed in a horizontal format (it's 11x8") and heavily illustrated, is written for a general audience, though art historians will also find much of interest.
