A propos de cet article

224 Pages Indexed. Very stiff covers with attached flaps. Green endpapers. No defects noted. Interior text and illustration pages are flawless. A guide to the Biblical and Classical subjects of the great masterpieces of Western art from Achilles to Zephyr, from Abraham to Zacharias, this book provides a complete background to the Classical and Biblical knowledge necessary for a fuller appreciation of the paintings. The book is lavishly illustrated in full color, and each entry is accompanied by a representative example of a work of art in which the character appears. The identification of key symbols and attributes of many of the best-loved paintings in Western art, cross-references, and a clear, easy-to-use layout ensure that this book is both comprehensive and practical, invaluable on gallery or museum visits, but also fascinating to read at home. Every picture tells a story'--but for many of us the subjects and themes of the great paintings of Western art are something of a mystery. The Museum Companion unravels the legends and symbolism behind many of the most popular and frequently painted figures. What is in Pandora's box? What are the Greek and Roman names for the ancient gods? Why does St. Catherine have a wheel by her side, and St. Jerome a lion? Beautifully illustrated with 160 works in color more than 150 figures. Included is a Classical section that details the characters from the myths and histories of ancient Greece and Rome, and a Biblical and Religious section that describes figures from the Old and New Testaments as well as later saints. This book will be indispensable to all those seeking to enhance their understanding and enjoyment of Western art. …
