In this work, Abolala Soudavar examines seven paintings by some of the great masters of the 15th century and demonstrates how we can better understand the state of international relations and the political rivalries of the time by decoding the figures, their postures and gestures, the background scenes, the compositions and much else in these paintings. This is a period of geopolitical turmoil, with the Muslim Turkish assault on Europe causing distress within the Christian World. Yet it is also a time of courtly opulence and Shakespearean drama, with murders and vendettas, wars and crusades, intrigue and treachery dominating contemporary life. -- Dust Jacket.

Nussbaum's art reflects the course of the first half of this century like that of no other painter - the tranquil life in the provinces, the rapid tempo of life in the capital Berlin, emigration, the camp, war and the conquest of Europe by Nazi Germany, then the exclusion of the Jewish people by a policy of racism, life underground and in hiding, and finally the extermination of the Jews in Europe.

Download Majestika Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
A superb collection of the best works by award-winning fantasy artist Monte Moore, Majestika focuses mainly on his celebrated erotic paintings but goes beyond these to show the full scope of his talent. Moore was one of four artists chosen to create a limited edition pin-up print for Playboy’s Uniquely Playmates line of collectibles. The images of lusciously proportioned, sensual women showcased here reveal exactly why: in the best fantasy tradition, they pose provocatively and appear in the guise of angels, mermaids, and warrior maidens. But other, different paintings present monsters, magical creatures, and an illustrated story titled “Bloodlines.” Moore himself writes the introduction.

Download Michelangelo and the Reform of Art Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Michelangelo was acutely conscious of living in an age of religious crisis and artistic change, and for him the two issues were related. Michelangelo and the Reform of Art explores Michelangelo's awareness of artistic tradition as a means of understanding his relation to the profound religious uncertainty of the sixteenth century. Concentrating on Michelangelo's lifelong preoccupation with the image of the dead Christ, Alexander Nagel studies the artist's associations with reform-minded circles in early sixteenth-century Italy, and reveals his sustained concern over the fate of religious art.
