A propos de cet article

536/650. Large quarto (28.3 by 23.5 cm / 11-1/8 by 8-3/4"). xviii, 236, [2: plate classifications] pp; 94 numbered b/w plates (frontispiece included), with captions on facing page. Publisher's two-tone cloth, lettered in gilt (corners bumped; lightly soiled, especially the white cloth backstrip); top edge red, fore- and bottom edges deckled; occasional moderate foxing to text. A good copy, with clean plates. Limited first edition, one of 650 copies for England, of which this is number 536, noted in red ink at the limitation page. The English travel writer Robert Byron (1905-1941) was also an art critic and historian; he is best known for his travelogue, The Road to Oxiana. The Birth of Western Painting is based on Byron's extensive research and on his personal observation of nearly all the works mentioned, in Constantinope, Greece, Crete, Italy, and Spain. He shows how Byzantine art is intimately connected with the later history of European art. Byron's analysis attempts to demonstrate how the Iconoclast Controversy vanquished Hellenistic naturalism, which allowed for the development of interpretational art in Europe. The Constantinopolitan Renascence, "combined with the increasing humanisation of religious emotion, culminated, not only in Duccio and Giotto, but in the equally important work of their contemporaries at Mistra and Mount Athos. A detailed account of these works is given and in the last part of the books, the mystery of El Greco is finally resolved" (Routledge). With extensive bibliography on pp. 220-226.…
