Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A deft reinterpretation of the most zealously interpreted picture in the Western canon as a therapeutic artifact.Albrecht Durer's famous portrayal of creative effort in paralysis, the unsurpassed masterpiece of copperplate engraving titled Melencolia I, has stood for centuries as a pictorial… summa of knowledge about the melancholic temperament, a dense allegory of the limits of earthbound arts and sciences and the impossibility of attaining perfection. Dubbed the "image of images" for being the most zealously interpreted picture in the Western canon, Melencolia I also presides over the origins of modern iconology, art history's own science of meaning. Yet we are left with a clutter of mutually contradictory theories, a historiographic ruin that confirms the mood of its object. In Perfection's Therapy, Mitchell Merback reopens the case file and argues for a hidden intentionality in Melencolia's opacity, its structural "chaos," and its resistance to allegorical closure. That intentionality, he argues, points toward a fascinating possibility never before considered: that Durer's masterpiece is not only an arresting diagnosis of melancholic distress, but an innovative instrument for its undoing.Merback deftly resituates Durer's image within the long history of the therapeutic artifact. Placing Durer's therapeutic project in dialogue with that of humanism's founder, Francesco Petrarch, Merback also unearths Durer's ambition to act as a physician of the soul. Celebrated as the "Apelles of the black line" in his own day, and ever since as Germany's first Renaissance painter-theorist, the Durer we encounter here is also the first modern Christian artist, addressing himself to the distress of souls, including his own. Melencolia thus emerges as a key reference point in a venture of spiritual-ethical therapy, a work designed to exercise the mind, restore the body's equilibrium, and help in getting on with the undertaking of perfection. A deft reinterpretation of the most zealously interpreted picture in the Western canon as a therapeutic artifact. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine(+). Large octavo in reddish brown color illus DJ, gilt to spine, 351 pages, chiefly b&w illustrations (some color), 25 cm. DJ protected in archival mylar sleeve. "Christ's Crucifixion is one of the most recognized images in Western visual culture, and it has come to stand as a universal symbol of…both suffering and salvation. But often overlooked in this symbolic language is the fact that ultimately the Crucifixion is a scene of capital punishment. In The Thief, the Cross and the Wheel, Mitchell Merback reconstructs the religious, legal, and historical context of the Crucifixion and of other images of public torture. The result is an account of a time when criminal justice and religion were entirely interrelated and punishment was a visual spectacle devoured by a popular audience."--Jacket. Contents: 'A shameful place': the rise of Calvary -- The two thieves crucified: bodies, weapons and the technologies of pain -- The broken body as spectacle -- Pain and spectacle: rituals of punishment in late medieval Europe -- The wheel: symbol, image, screen -- The cross and the wheel -- Dysmas and gestas: model and anti-model -- Image and spectacle in the era of art. Torture in art, Executions and executioners, Art, Medieval. Extremely mild rubbing to spine head and foot, light soiling to fore-edges and front board, pages are bright, binding is tight, faint soiling to rear DJ, pale sunning to DJ spine, else near fine(+) in near fine(+) DJ. in near fine dust-jacket First edition, first printing (full number line).
