The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World have had a lasting impact upon the intellectual landscape of the post-classical world. As well as provoking historical debate and reflection, they have proved an enduring yardstick by which succeeding generations have measured the architectural and cultural accomplishments of their own eras. Focusing particularly upon the Renaissance and Baroque periods, this book looks at how the Wonders of the World were represented in art, architecture and sculpture, and the ways that European courts could evoke them as a useful image of power. Within this artistic culture, special attention is paid to the recreations and constructions generated between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries in the sphere of ephemeral art, especially those linked to court celebrations in the principal European states. This approach provides a framework to analyse and evaluate the claims of other European Renaissance and Baroque architecture to Wonder status, an approach bolstered by the use of the Palace of El Escorial as a case study of a modern "Eighth Wonder".

"The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were originally a sort of 'bucket' list of must-see monuments chosen for their grandeur and this compilation still resonates today. Some people have sought a link between the wonders and Alexander the Great, although he did not build any of them. All of the Wonders are gone except for the Pyramids, so we must rely on scarce ancient accounts, augmented with scientific studies, to understand their context, the materials used in their construction and the forces that finally damaged or destroyed them. Earth science figures prominently in modern studies of the Wonders: the wealth and resources needed for construction were controlled by the physical environment, as well as the forces of destruction and burial. Climate and soil determined the agricultural wealth of communities and rapid changes, not dissimilar to those we are now experiencing, had a powerful influence on cultural resilience. Finally, some legends may be geomyths, real events recast as stories"--

"Après avoir tenté de démêler la fin obscure de la XVIIIV dynastie des pharaons d'Egypte (Toutânkhamon revisité), arpenté l'ancienne Mésopotamie à la recherche d'une des premières civilisations dans Sumer une énigme non résolue? et exploré la piste de La Reine de Saba, légende ou réalité?, André Kaplun s'est efforcé de réveiller un peuple assoupi dans Les Hittites, un empire évanoui. Au fil de son nouvel ouvrage, il s'interroge à propos d'une Merveille du monde antique : le Colosse de Rhodes. A-t-il réellement existé? Quelles sont nos sources? Comment a-t-il été construit et dans quelles conditions a-t-il disparu? Autant de questions et bien d'autres auxquelles ce livre essaie de répondre avec un seul objectif: s'approcher autant que possible de la vérité. Féru d'histoire ancienne, l'auteur est avocat, secrétaire de la Fondation ICES (International Center for Earth Simulation) et ancien président du Conseil municipal de la Ville de Genève. Il se consacre désormais à l'étude des grandes civilisations disparues."--P. [4] of cover
