Magyarország középkori művészetét bemutató kötet jelenleg az egyetlen, szemléletében is korszerű, átfogó összefoglalás arról a jelentős értékről, amellyel ez az ország története első felében hozzájárult Európa egyetemes kultúrájához. A kép, amely az olvasó elé tárul, rendkívül sokszínű és sajátos. Jellemző arra a földrajzi és társadalmi helyzetre, amelyben az Árpádok, az Anjouk, Luxemburgi Zsigmond és utódai, különösen Hunyadi Mátyás kormányozták a királyságot. A tanulmányokat és műleírásokat tartalmazó könyv 25 hazai és külföldi kutató összefogásával, nemzetközi szerkesztőgárda koncepciója szerint készült, és első kiadásban angol nyelven látott napvilágot 2018-ban a római Viella kiadó gondozásában. Eredeti célját, amely nemzetközi szakmai közvélemény figyelmének felkeltése volt a magyar művészeti örökség iránt, már betöltötte: tucatnyi pozitív recenzió a világ legrangosabb szakmai folyóiratai igazolták a célkitűzés helyességét. A magyar kiadással egyrészt a hazai közvéleményt, többek között középiskolai tanárokat, tanulókat, a magyar múlt iránt érdeklődő, a műveltségük gyarapítására vágyó olvasókat kívánjuk megszólítani, hasznos és megbízható információkkal ellátni a magyar középkor művészetéről, másrészt nem kétséges az sem, hogy a felsőoktatásban is jól használható, jelenleg ott is hiánypótló kézikönyvet bocsátunk ki.

Working with his hands and small tools, Antonio Canova (1757–1822) produced dazzling sketch models in clay, which helped him plan his designs for his large statues in marble. More than 30 of his 60 or so surviving models reveal the artist’s extraordinary working process—a process that led to the creation of some of the most iconic works in the history of sculpture.

Exhibiting Antonio Canova: Display and the Transformation of Sculptural Theory argues that the display of Canova’s sculptures in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries acted as a catalyst for discourse across a broad range of subjects. By enshrining his marble figures alongside plaster casts of ancient works, bathing them in candlelight, staining and waxing their surfaces, and even setting them in motion on rotating bases, Canova engaged viewers intellectually, physically, and emotionally. These displays inspired discussions on topics as diverse as originality and artistic production, the association between the sculptural surface, flesh, and anatomy, the relationship between painting and sculpture, and the role of public museums. Beholders’ discussions also shaped the legacy of important sculptural theories. They helped usher in their modern definitions and created the lenses through which we experience and interpret works of art, establishing modern attitudes not just towards sculpture, but towards cultural patrimony in general.
