This is a combination of words and images telling the story of the Madonna, and celebrating her influence over millions of people for over two thousand years. It features wonderful images from the great masters down the centuries: Botticelli, Raphael, Rubens, Mantegna, Leonardo, Angelico and dozens of others. It includes work from the world's greatest writers, including Petrarch, Ben Jonson, John Milton, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, John Ruskin and Christina Rossetti. Exquisite fine art reproductions tell the story of the suffering, power, pain, beauty and triumph of the most famous woman in Christianity. It is a beautifully created visual tribute to a unique religious and historical icon. It is expertly designed, and lavishly illustrated with over 70 fine art paintings. The Virgin Mary has been adored and worshipped by Christians for nearly two thousand years as a symbol of purity and innocence. Perceived and experienced as accessible and entirely human, she is felt to be a sympathetic listener, a gentle, understanding judge and an intercessor for the fallible human race. Much has been written about her role in the life of Jesus, and even more has been painted. This book holds some of the most beautiful images of Mary, and the momentous events which marked her life: the Annunciation; the journey to Bethlehem; the stable birth of her baby boy; the homage of kings; the flight into Egypt; and, 30 years later, the grief of watching her son die. We know little of the woman, Mary of Nazareth, but, loved and welcomed into the cathedrals, churches and homes of the world, this book celebrates the Madonna as confessor, confidant and, above all, eternal mother.

Michelangelo's Last Judgment was the most criticized and discussed painting of the sixteenth century. The subject of the Last Judgment has been a barometer of cultural mood throughout history. It can be interpreted, as Michelangelo did, as the moment when mortals attain immortal bliss or, in more unsettled times, as the terrifying moment when we face the justice of the Lord and are found wanting. The painting must hold in tension admonition and celebration. Michelangelo created his fresco in the final flowering of Renaissance humanism. Four years after its unveiling, the Council of Trent began meeting and the Counter-Reformation was under way. Caught on the cusp of a major shift of values, Michelangelo and his fresco were praised by lovers of art and condemned by conservative churchmen who sought a tool with which to exhort the wavering faithful, tempted to defect to Protestantism. This book explores the context, both historical and biographical, in which the fresco was created and the debates about the style and function of religious art that it generated.

""Sacred gaze"" denotes any way of seeing that invests its object-an image, a person, a time, a place-with spiritual significance. Drawing from many different fields, David Morgan investigates key aspects of vision and imagery in a variety of religious traditions. His lively, innovative book explores how viewers absorb and process religious imagery and how their experience contributes to the social, intellectual, and perceptual construction of reality. Ranging widely from thirteenth-century Japan and eighteenth-century Tibet to contemporary America, Thailand, and Africa, The Sacred Gaze

Chaque année, un cycle de " Grandes Conférences " donne aux enseignants et aux étudiants du Studium de réfléchir ensemble, souvent grâce à des intervenants extérieurs, à des thèmes importants pour le dialogue de l'Église et du monde. Le cycle de l'année 2003-2004 s'est déroulé autour du thème : " Un artiste en quête de Dieu " et a donné le jour à ce recueil. " C'est un fait : depuis l'après-guerre 39-45, les hommes de bonne volonté se désintéressent de plus en plus de l'art contemporain, comme s'il ne les concernait plus réellement, comme s'il s'était définitivement refermé sur lui-même : ils en désertent les lieux d'exposition, les librairies et les salles de concert. Le discours a tellement envahi le champ esthétique qu'il a fini par être adopté par les artistes eux-mêmes, si bien que l'œuvre se présente le plus souvent comme le support d'un "dispositif théorique" aux couleurs variées. Comme on le verra dans les contributions ici rassemblées, une intense expérience esthétique peut être le préalable à une radicale perdition comme à une profonde conversion. De multiples discernements s'imposent alors, auxquels les chrétiens ont le devoir de s'exercer avec l'audace de l'Église des commencements, l'audace de l'Esprit qui précédera toujours la Lettre.

"Sacred gaze" denotes any way of seeing that invests its object-an image, a person, a time, a place-with spiritual significance. Drawing from many different fields, David Morgan investigates key aspects of vision and imagery in a variety of religious traditions. His lively, innovative book explores how viewers absorb and process religious imagery and how their experience contributes to the social, intellectual, and perceptual construction of reality. Ranging widely from thirteenth-century Japan and eighteenth-century Tibet to contemporary America, Thailand, and Africa, The Sacred Gaze discusses the religious functions of images and the tools viewers use to interpret them. Morgan questions how fear and disgust of images relate to one another and explains how scholars study the long and evolving histories of images as they pass from culture to culture. An intriguing strand of the narrative details how images have helped to shape popular conceptions of gender and masculinity. The opening chapter considers definitions of "visual culture" and how these relate to the traditional practice of art history. Amply illustrated with more than seventy images from diverse religious traditions, this masterful interdisciplinary study provides a comprehensive and accessible resource for everyone interested in how religious images and visual practice order space and time, communicate with the transcendent, and embody forms of communion with the divine. The Sacred Gaze is a vital introduction to the study of the visual culture of religions.Read less
