Greek Art
Greek Art
    The 18th century's
    Neoclassicist movement,
    with its white marble
    sculptures inspired by
    the art of the ancient
    world, has helped Greek
    art to remain vivid in
    our memories even today.
    But the reality of
    ancient art was entirely
    different, as surfaces
    were in fact much more
    brut. As author Michael
    Siebler points out,
    recent findings have
    revealed that the
    seemingly perfect bodies
    of statues and sculptures
    were very often painted
    in flamboyant colors and
    ornaments. Thus ancient
    Greek art combined a high
    level of classical
    identity with an equal
    amount of sensuality.
    Despite being viewed in a
    new light, the beauty of
    the works of art
    persists. Including
    detailed analyses of the
    following works:
    Alexander-sarcophagus;
    Lysippos: Apoxyomenos;
    Exekias: Amphora; Myron:
    Diskobol; Apoll from
    Belvedere; Laocoon; Nike
    from Samothrake; the
    Altar from Pergamon, now
    in Berlin; the
    Alexander-mosaic in
    Naples; Harmodios and
    Aristogeiton, in Naples;
    Polyklet: Doryphoros;
    sculptures from the
    Alphaia-temple, now in
    Munich; Andokides:
    Amphora; Ptolemaier-Cameo
    in Vienna; Praxiteles:
    Hermes; Apollo from the
    Zeus-temple in Olympia;
    numerous sculptures in
    Athens; Euphronios:
    Krater, now in New York;
    some Elgin Marbles in
    London; the warrior from
    Riace, now in Reggio.
    Each book in TASCHEN's
    "Basic Genre" series
    features: a detailed
    introduction with
    approximately 35
    photographs, plus a

Egypt Art
Egypt Art
    The art of ancient Egypt
    that has been handed down
    to us bears no names of
    its creators, and yet we
    value the creations of
    these unknown masters no
    less than the works of
    later centuries, such as
    statues by Michelangelo
    or the paintings by
    Leonardo da Vinci. The
    present volume introduces
    a series of such
    masterpieces, ranging
    from the Old Kingdom, or
    the 3rd millennium B.C.,
    to the Late Period in the
    9th century B.C. The
    works in question are
    sculptures, reliefs,
    sarcophagi, murals,
    masks, and decorative
    items, most of them now
    in the Egyptian Museum in
    Cairo, but some
    occupying places of honor
    as part of the world
    cultural heritage in
    museums such as the
    Louvre in Paris, the
    British Museum in London,
    the Egyptian Museum in
    Berlin and the
    Metropolitan Museum in
    New York. Featured works
    include: Seated statue of
    King Djoser, wood relief
    of Hesire on a dining
    table, the statue of a
    scribe made of various
    materials, funerary
    relief of Aschait, a
    Sphinx of Sesostris III,

    Cherihotep, reliefs from
    the Temple at Carnac,
    sarcophagus of Queen
    Hatshepsut, murals from

Rococo Art
Rococo Art
    Emerging out of Baroque
    as a more relaxed style,
    Rococo was dominant in
    interiors, decorative
    art, and painting
    throughout Europe in the
    18th century. With
    sentiment and emotion
    prevailing over reason,
    Rococo was a dramatic and
    theatrical style. In the
    Parisian art world,
    gallant scenes by
    Watteau, Boucher and
    Fragonard predominated,
    along with the delicate
    still lifes and genre
    paintings of Chardin. In
    Venice, we find the
    magnificent cityscapes
    and veduta of Canaletto
    and Guardi, along with
    Tiepolo's brilliantly
    illuminated ceiling
    frescos. London society
    celebrated portraitists
    of stature such as
    Hogarth, Gainsborough,
    and Reynolds, while in
    Southern Germany and
    Austria, pious images of
    celestial serenity
    created by Asam and
    Troger spanned the church
    ceilings. About TASCHEN's

Roman Art
Roman Art
    For a long time, Roman
    art was somewhat
    overshadowed by the art
    of ancient Greece. It was
    only in about 1900 that a
    search began for ancient
    Roman art and
    architecture. The
    foundations of Roman
    imagery were laid in the
    early days of the Empire
    under Emperor Augustus.
    The imperial court and
    the imperial family were
    role models for artistic
    style, taste and fashion
    - trendsetters, so to
    speak, which imperial
    society was obliged to
    follow. It was at court
    that the "new" took
    shape, pieced together
    from the vocabulary of
    Greek originals, copies
    and imitations as well as
    new creations, but
    fulfilling entirely new
    functions and expressing
    new meanings. The
    portrait of the ruler and
    the so-called state
    reliefs, which enhanced
    and embroidered real
    events, by depicting
    gods for example, had a
    particular influence in
    the shaping of the
    imagery. Using classical
    stylistic means, Roman
    art was able to fulfill
    all the desires and ideas
    of its patrons for more
    than two centuries.
    Featured works include:
    Augustus of Primaporta;
    Gemma Augustea; Lycurgus
    beaker; funerary relief
    of the Roman couple
    Publius Aiedius and
    Publia Aiedia;
    Constantine I in a helmet
    with the christogram; the
    portrait of a man, the
    so-called Brutus;
    equestrian statue of
    Marcus Aurelius; colossal
    portrait of Emperor
    Constantine I; group
    statue of the Emperors
    Diocletian, Maximian,
    Galerius and Constantine
    I, the "tetrarch group";
    personifications of
    Macedonia and Persia.

Romanesque
Romanesque
    Reaching its peak in the
    11th and 12th centuries,
    the Romanesque movement
    was marked by a peculiar,
    vivid, and often
    monumental expressiveness
    in architecture and fine
    arts. The main centres
    were located in Italy,
    France, the
    German-language
    countries, Spain, and
    England, though the
    voices of Scandinavia and
    Eastern Europe expressed
    themselves distinctly in
    the genre, which
    patterned itself on
    antique and Byzantine
    art. Despite untold
    losses, countless
    Romanesque masterpieces
    remain preserved today.
    Highlights include:
    Frescoes in Galliano near
    Cantu, Sant'Angelo in
    Formis, Saint Chef,
    Saint-Savin-sur Gartempe,
    Lambach, S. Pietro al
    Monte near Civate, S.
    Clemente in Rome, from
    S. Maria de Tahull,
    Berze-la-Ville, Tavant,
    Panteon de los Reyes in

    Altar-Piece from

Flowers of the Renaissance
Flowers Of The Renaissance
    Flowers pop up everywhere
    in Renaissance art. Why
    are there pinks in a pot
    above a Crivelli Madonna,
    roses scattered across
    Botticelli's Primavera
    and columbines in the
    borders of many a
    fifteenth-century
    manuscript? This is the
    first book to explore how
    and why flowers feature
    so extensively in the
    extraordinary art of the
    Renaissance. Choosing
    twenty favourite plants,
    the author introduces
    each and then describes
    and illustrates a number
    of wonderful examples.
    The new naturalism in
    Renaissance art makes
    every one clearly
    identifiable but there is
    also still a reason and
    meaning behind each
    chosen flower. Even their
    names can be loaded with
    meaning and the
    attributes of these
    flowers were well known
    to their original
    audience. Today we need
    to have these things
    explained - whether the
    flower is in a Tudor
    portrait, a tapestry, a
    Leonardo, a piece of
    jewellery or even on a
    plate or spoon. These
    flowers were valued by
    everyone from emperors to
    needlewomen: this
    delightful and revelatory
    book seeks out these
    hidden treasures and
    provides an unrivalled
    exploration of their
    beauty and their
    significance.
