Book SynopsisBefore the first purpose-designed exhibition spaces and painting exhibitions emerged, showing art was mainly related to the habit of dressing up spaces for political commemorations, religious festivals, and marketing strategies. Palaces, cloisters, façades, squares, and shops became temporary and privileged venues for art display, where sociability was performed, and the idea of exhibition developed. What were those places and events? What aesthetic, cultural, social and political discourses intersected with the early idea of exhibition space? How did displaying art shape a new vocabulary within these events, and conversely, how have these occasions conditioned exhibiting practices? This book traces the origins of the exhibition space by studying its visual and written imagery in the early modern period. It reconsiders events and habits that contributed to shaping the imagery of the exhibition space, and to defining exhibition-making practices, exploring micro-histories and long-term changes.Table of ContentsTable of Contents Acknowledgments 1.

Book SynopsisThis collection embraces the increasing interest in the material world of the Renaissance and the early modern period, which has both fascinated contemporaries and initiated in recent years a distinguished historiography. The scholarship within is distinctive for engaging with the agentive qualities of matter, showing how affective dimensions in history connect with material history, and exploring the religious and cultural identity dimensions of the use of materials and artefacts. It thus aims to refocus our understanding of the meaning of the material world in this period by centring on the vibrancy of matter itself. To achieve this goal, the authors approach "the material" through four themes – glass, feathers, gold paints, and veils – in relation to specific individuals, material milieus, and interpretative communities. In examining these four types of materialities and object groups, which were attached to different sensory regimes and valorizations, this book charts how each underwent significant changes during this period.Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgements Introduction: Materializing Identities: The Affective Values of Matter in Early Modern Europe - Susanna Burghartz, Lucas Burkart, Christine Gottler, and Ulinka Rublack Part 1 Glass 1.

Book SynopsisEarly modern views of nature and the earth upended the depiction of land. Landscape emerged as a site of artistic exploration at a time when environments and ecologies were reshaped and transformed. This volume historicizes the contingency of an ever-changing elemental world, reframing and reimagining landscape as a mediating space in the interplay between the natural and the artificial, the real and the imaginary, the internal and the external. The lens of the “unruly” reveals the latent landscapes that undergirded their conception, the elemental resources that resurfaced from the bowels of the earth, the staged topographies that unsettled the boundaries between nature and technology, and the fragile ecologies that undermined the status quo of human environs. Landscape and Earth in Early Modernity: Picturing Unruly Nature argues for an art history attentive to the vicissitudes of circumstance and attributes the regrounding of representation during a transitional age to the unquiet landscape.Table of ContentsTable of Contents List of Illustrations Acknowledgments Landscape, Mutability, and the Unruly Earth: An Introduction (Christine Göttler) Part 1 Latent Landscapes 1.

Book SynopsisThis volume fills a major gap: there are no modern publications describing the mosaics of the major Byzantine monuments of Thessaloniki aimed at the contemporary reader, both specialist and layman. The preserved mosaic decorations of the Rotonda, Hosios David, Ayia Sophia, Ayioi Apostoloi and the basilicas of Ayios Dimitrios and the Acheiropoietos are presented with lavish, high-quality illustrations and an elegant text that highlights the aesthetic values of the monuments. Th e mural mosaics of Thessaloniki are masterpieces of Byzantine art, of major historical and artistic importance. Nonetheless, they have not received the attention and enhancement that they deserve to make them accessible to the general public and to scholars. The authors of this important book served for over 40 years as Ephors of Byzantine Antiquities of Thessaloniki. After the 1978 earthquakes, they directed works on the consolidation and conservation of the mosaics, alongside their colleagues, archaeologists, architects and conservators from the Ephorate of Byzantine Antiquities of Thessaloniki. Their work has resulted in much new information on the mosaics becoming available, which is recorded in this volume. Illustrated with high quality photographs and drawings. 358 colour illustrations and 38 b&w drawings.Table of Contents Prologue - Charalambos Bakirtzis Introduction - Chrysanthi Mavropoulou-Tsioumi ROTUNDA - Charalambos Bakirtzis, Eftychia Kourkoutidou-Nikolaidou SAINT DΕΜΕTRIOS - Charalambos Bakirtzis LATOΜOU ΜONASTΕRY - Eftychia Kourkoutidou-Nikolaidou, Chrysanthi Mavropoulou-Tsioumi ACHEIROPOIETOS - Eftychia Kourkoutidou-Nikolaidou HAGIA SOPHIA - Chrysanthi Mavropoulou-Tsioumi HOLY APOSTLΕS - Chrysanthi Mavropoulou-Tsioumi Bibliography

Book SynopsisThe first systematic excavations in the sanctuary of Olympia lasted for six years, from 1975 to 1881. Dimitris Papageorgiou's book was published in 1890 and is the first guidebook in Greek for the antiquities of Olympia. It is remarkable that it was written before the completion of the German publication of the excavation (1897). This is a pioneering work in which the author did not confine himself to describing the monuments, but dealt with the history and the description of the contests, as well as with the organization in antiquity of the Olympic Games, which were to be revived six years later, in 1896. Greek language. 45 b&w illustrations, including fold-out map of Olympia.

Book SynopsisThe Chronicle of Tatoϊ, Volume A 1800-1916 and Volume B 1917-2003, two-volumes, slipcased. Vol A 463pp, Vol B 323pp. 367 illustrations. A history of Tatoï, the summer palace and estate of the former Greek royal family. This book presents a detailed history of a building that was unique by virtue of the nature of its owners. The text embraces many realities simultaneously, thanks to the use of a variety of historical sources, ranging from official state documents to personal diaries and correspondence. Against a continuously renewed natural and architectural background, readers see the history unfolding of four or five generations of men, from labourers and peasants to members of the royal family. The latter are often approached by the author, through their hitherto unknown private documents and personal reminiscences, as private individuals. At the same time, Tatoï is used as a reference point through which readers follow the course of Greek political, social and diplomatic history over the period of about a century (1871-1973). Photographs, drawings and maps supplement the text. Greek language text

Book Synopsis57 colour illustrations. The Museum of Byzantine Culture is one of the most important museums of Thessaloniki, a city with a powerful Byzantine character and beauty. All aspects of Byzantine and post-Byzantine art and history are represented through the display of original artefacts, mainly from Thessaloniki, the most important city of the Empire after Constantinople, but also from the wider area of Macedonia. The collection numbers more than 46,000 artefacts, heirlooms and artworks dated between the 2nd and the 20th centuries, with over 3000 on permanent display. Wall-paintings, mosaics, icons, marble architectural elements, detached Early Christian tombs with their wall-paintings, liturgical vessels, implements for personal adornment, but also humble everyday artefacts and tools for professionals are represented not only as artworks, but also as testimonies of the culture that created them and of the human society that used them. This short guide is a concise authoritative picture of the permanent exhibition in the Museum, useful for visitors during their visit to the Museum galleries, and as a memento of their visit long afterwards.Table of ContentsIntroduction Portico - Ante-Room Sculpture Exhibition Room1 Temple of Therme Room 2 Sculpture Exhibition Room 3 Sculpture Exhibition Room4 Thessalonike Exhibition Room 5 Sculpture Exhibition Room 6 Sculpture Exhibition Room 7 Macedonian Tombs Room 8 Sindos Exhibition Room 9 Vergina and Derveni Exhibition Room 10 Archaic and Early Classical Periods Room 11 Prehistoric Collection

Book SynopsisThe small Byzantine church of the Soter (Christ the Saviour) stands on modern Egnatia Street in Thessaloniki, to the west of the arch of Galerius. Its name is preserved from the Ottoman period in the oral tradition alone. Tradition also provides the information that the people of Thessaloniki, particularly families who had lost children, used to baptise their infants in the small church and give the child the name of the Soter invoking his protection for their children. This short monograph on the little church of Christ the Saviour in Thessaloniki, is a brief account of the findings of the archaeological excavation that was carried out as part of the work of restoration of the damage caused during the 1978 earthquake. Special emphasis is placed on the iconographic and stylistic analysis of the wall paintings of the monument. The objective is to give prominence to the theological and artistic value of this significant, though little known, Byzantine monument in the second most important city of the Byzantine empire.

Book SynopsisThe subject of this book is the domestic and foreign policy of Charilaos Trikoupis, the great 19th-century Greek politician. It deals in particular with a basic aspect of his economic development programme: the construction of public works. The development of Greece is considered in detail through the construction of the rail and road networks, the cutting of the Corinthian canal, and the draining of Lake Kopaïs. All these projects bear the stamp of Trikoupis and have set their seal on the development of the Greek state to the present day. 122 illustrations, many in colour.

Book SynopsisThe economic life of Thessaloniki and Macedonia in general is unfolded through stocks issued by limited companies during an important period of its history (1870-1940), which covered the final years of the Turkish occupation and saw the incorporation of the city and region into the modern Greek state. A total of 84 stock certificates are represented, most of them shares or company bonds, accompanied by details of the foundation and history of the issuing companies, the majority of which were based in Thessaloniki. The illustrations on the certificates are highly interesting. Their variety of subjects and colour harmony is particularly striking at the present day, when stock certificates have become immaterial and no longer have their traditional printed form. Slipcased; 212 illustrations, most in colour. Parallel text Greek and English.

Book SynopsisAt the end of World War II, a young British architect was appointed to design a series of cemeteries and memorials across Asia for the war dead. Colin St Clair Oakes, who had fought in the brutal Burma campaign, was the only veteran of the recent war among the five principal architects of the Imperial War Graves Commission. Completed in 1957, Kranji War Cemetery and Memorial in Singapore is a masterwork of Modernist architecture - a culmination of Oakes' experiences in war and his evolution as an architect. Richly illustrated with photographs, maps and architectural plans, and drawing on extensive archival research and interviews in Europe, Australia and Asia, this is a riveting account of a world shattered by war, and man's heroic efforts to recover, remember and rebuild.
