Hardback. Zustand: New. Winner of the Phyllis Goodhart Gordan Book Prize from the Renaissance Society of AmericaTitian, one of the most successful painters of the Italian Renaissance, was credited by his contemporaries with painting a miracle-working image, the San Rocco Christ Carrying the Cross. Taking this unusual circumstance as a point of departure, Christopher J. Nygren revisits the scope and impact of Titian's life's work. Nygren shows how, motivated by his status as the creator of a miracle-working object, Titian played an active and essential role in reorienting the long tradition of Christian icons over the course of the sixteenth century.Drawing attention to Titian's unique status as a painter whose work was viewed as a conduit of divine grace, Nygren shows clearly how the artist appropriated, deployed, and reconfigured Christian icon painting. Specifically, he tracks how Titian continually readjusted his art to fit the shifting contours of religious and political reformations, and how these changes shaped Titian's conception of what made a devotionally efficacious image. The strategies that were successful in, say, 1516 were discarded by the 1540s, when his approach to icon painting underwent a radical revision. Therefore, this book not only tracks the career of one of the most important artists in the tradition of Western painting but also brings to light new information about how divergent agendas of religious, political, and artistic reform interacted over the long arc of the sixteenth century.Original and erudite, this book represents an important reassessment of Titan's approach to devotional subject matter. It will appeal to students and specialists as well as art aficionados interested in Titian and in religious painting. …

Hardback. Zustand: New. An unprecedented investigation of painting on stone in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Italy that considers the ecological and artistic forces that made the genre transformativeIn 1530 the Venetian painter Sebastiano del Piombo (1485-1547) chose an unusual surface for a painting of Christ: a large hewn stone. Treating the stone as a portable canvas, Sebastiano created a work of art that his contemporaries viewed as "almost eternal" and initiated 150 years of a flourishing practice of painting on stone. Blending ecocriticism with art history, Christopher J. Nygren examines the ecological, religious, and cultural contexts in which this idiosyncratic genre emerged. He unearths the hidden labor of stone masons, the international and colonial circuits of exchange, and the ecological philosophy of the time.Sedimentary Aesthetics discusses the development of painting on stone in Italy and the Atlantic world, including changes in how artists approached the stone surface-such as moving away from painting the entire rock to incorporating the visual and surface qualities in the artwork-and the transition from hardier materials like slate and marble to precious ones like lapis lazuli, amethyst, and obsidian, to show how it pushed the traditional boundaries of painting and probed the limits of pictorial representation. With an emphasis on materiality, labor, and commoditization, this volume reveals the forces that made Sebastiano's choice possible and broadens our understanding of early modern art and culture.…
