Inhaltsangabe
The Burial of the Count of Orgaz is a key work in the Mannerist tradition and a supreme achievement of the human spirit. Like The Divine Comedy and the Eroica Symphony, it epitomizes an age, and any study of it has to probe deeply not only into the history of art but also into religion, society and psychology.
It is appropriate therefore that a whole book should be devoted to this single painting - a painting whose subject is both particularized and universal.
The painting is reproduced in all its glory in this magnificent book, bringing the reader face to face with its splendor, its rich colors and its incredible expressiveness. Shown in a series of specially commissioned photographs, it is illustrated first as a whole, and then in a series of enlarged details that magnify every minute embellishment and brushstroke.

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Artikel-Nr.

Pub Year 1994, See images for condition. About the book >.>.> El Greco: Burial of the Count of Orgaz is a dedicated exploration of a pivotal work in the Mannerist tradition, celebrated for its profound connection to the human experience. This book delves into a painting that encapsulates an era, akin to The Divine Comedy and the Eroica Symphony, making it essential for understanding the intersections of art, religion, society, and psychology.The painting, created between 1586 and 1588 for the church of Santo Tomé in Toledo, commemorates the funeral of Don Gonzalo Ruiz of Toledo, Lord of Orgaz. This legendary funeral, which occurred two and a half centuries prior, features the miraculous descent of St. Stephen and St. Augustine from heaven to inter the nobleman?s body. El Greco transforms this historical event into a captivating mystical vision that bridges Heaven and Earth, depicting the Virgin and John the Baptist interceding before Christ, surrounded by a host of saints and angels.This book serves as an exquisite visual companion, reproducing the painting in its full splendour through a series of specially commissioned photographs. Readers are presented with the artwork in its entirety, followed by detailed enlargements showcasing every intricate embellishment and brushstroke. Accompanying these images is an introductory text by Francisco Calvo Serraller, Professor of the History of Art at the Complutense University, Madrid, offering insights into its themes, techniques, and cultural significance. This comprehensive study not only highlights the painting's aesthetic qualities but also invites deeper contemplation of its broader implications. Artikel-Nr. Batch-FM689-VG-14050
