About this Item
Pages: 336 p. Illustrations:11 b/w, 118 col. Language(s):English. Publication Year:2019. Brepols. ISBN: 978-1-912554-09-6 - Hardback --- SUMMARY According to an old historiographic tradition, the Spanish Golden Age placed the imitation of nature at the service of religion: its radical naturalism responded to the deep faith of that culture and moment. Crime & Illusion argues the opposite. It defends the thesis that the fundamental problem artists of the Golden Age confronted was not imitation but Truth. Moreover a large part, maybe the best part, of Spanish Baroque religious imagery is better understood as a complex exercise in addressing the spectators doubts. Hovering on the horizon of an emerging empiricism, artists created their images as pieces of evidence, arguments for belief. Crime & Illusion reconstructs and interprets this judicial or forensic aspect of early modern visual culture at the center of a political, religious, and scientific triangle. Finally, the book explores the artists skeptical reflection on the problematic relationship of painting and sculpture to the art of truth. Seller Inventory # ca2926
