Abstract

"The Dutch history painter Joachim Wtewael is widely admired for his astonishing small paintings on copper. The Getty Museum's Mars and Venus Surprised by Vulcan is one of his finest works in this unusually demanding medium. Though only eight inches high, this Mannerist painting contains eleven figures in three different spaces, captured in a dramatically charged moment from the famous story told by Ovid in his Metamorphoses." "The author's detailed analysis of Wtewael's painting also serves as a fine introduction to Dutch art of the Golden Age. Illustrated with seventy reproductions of paintings, drawings, etchings, and decorative objects, Anne W. Lowenthal's study ranges over the broad historical and cultural context in which Mars and Venus was created."--BOOK JACKET.

Abstract

Lewis Richard Farnell's The Cults of the Greek States, first published between 1896 & 1909, disentangles classical Greek mythology & religion, since the latter had often been overlooked by 19th-century English scholars. Farnell describes the cults of the most significant Greek gods in order to establish their zones of influence, & outlines the personality, monuments, & ideal types associated with each deity. He also resolutely avoids the question of divine origins & focuses instead on the culture surrounding each cult, a position which initially drew some criticism, but which allowed him more space to analyse the religious practices themselves. Written to facilitate a comparative approach to Greek gods, his work is still regularly cited today for its impressive collection of data about the worship of the most popular deities.
