Free Download Animating the Antique: Sculptural Encounter in the Age of Aesthetic Theory by Sarah Betzer
English | January 28, 2022 | ISBN: 0271088834 | True PDF | 272 pages | 19.96 MB
Framed by tensions between figural sculpture experienced in the round and its translation into two-dimensional representations, Animating the Antique explores enthralling episodes in a history of artistic and aesthetic encounters. Moving across varied locations―among them Rome, Florence, Naples, London, Dresden, and Paris―Sarah Betzer explores a history that has yet to be written: that of the Janus-faced nature of interactions with the antique by which sculptures and beholders alike were caught between the promise of animation and the threat of mortification.

For nearly three thousand years, the hieroglyphic script remained closely bound to indigenous notions of religious and cultural identity.

It was his use of ancient Roman art-the sculptures, the marble reliefs, the wall-paintings, and the stuccoes-and architecture-the temples, the palaces, and the theaters-as well as the churches and mosaics of early-Christian Rome, that formed his much-admired classical style.
