The Discovery of Pictorial Composition. Theories of Visual Order in Painting, 1400-1800

Yale University Press, 2000. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 332. In this illuminating book, art historian Thomas Puttfarken examines how pictorial composition and attitudes toward it changed between the early Renaissance and the beginning of the nineteenth century. Before 1600, a paintings overall composition was hardly ever discussed. As far as art theory and criticism were concerned, pictorial composition was a "discovery" of the seventeenth century, the author explains.In the first part of the book, Puttfarken investigates why pictorial composition did not figure in earlier accounts of the art. In Italy artists and patrons focused on large-scale wall paintings or altarpieces and on the presentation of life-size saints or protagonists whose physical proportions and interactions in narratives were considered more important than notions of overall effect or pictorial format. The second part of the book discusses the discovery of composition and Its consequences for both the theory and practice of painting, understood as the production of tableaux, or easel pictures. Puttfarken considers the effects on paintings of size, location, perspective, and relief, the relationship between ground and figures and between image and frame, and the different traditions defining Italian and Northern art. For readers with an interest in the theory and history of European art, this book is full of rich insights and fresh analyses. ISBN: 9780300081565. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Die Ehrenpforte für Kaiser Maximilian I.

Deutscher Kunstverlag, 2001. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 491. Die 1515 datierte 'Ehrenpforte' stellt den größten bekannten Holzschnitt der Kunstgeschichte dar. Sie ist eng mit den Persönlichkeiten Dürer, Altdorfer und Kaiser Maximilian I. verbunden und fehlt in kaum einer Monographie oder Ausstellung zu diesen Themenkreisen. Dennoch existierte bislang keine erschöpfende Untersuchung zu dem einzigartigen Kunstwerk. Die hier vorliegende grundlegende Studie gliedert und kommentiert in einem umfangreichen Katalogteil erstmals die Überfülle historischen, genealogischen und heraldischen Materials. Nachdem die bisher eher stilgeschichtlich geprägten Versuche, die Ehrenpforte in ihrer Gesamterscheinung von Kunstwerken unterschiedlichster Provenienz formal herzuleiten, allenfalls Teilbereiche beleuchten konnten, treten in der vorliegenden Abhandlung vor allem inhaltliche Aspekte in den Vordergrund. Stets war der Blick dabei auch eingehend auf Umfang und Charakter der Antikenrezeption durch Maximilian zu richten. Der Abbildungsteil enthält die Rekonstruktionsvorschläge und den gesamten bildlichen Bestand der Ehrenpforte erstmals in der Fassung des frühesten Druckes von 1517-18. ISBN: 9783422063310.
