‎Sarah Howgate ; Martin Gayford‎ ‎Lucian Freud's Sketchbooks‎ ‎, Yale, 2016 Hardcover, 108 pages, ENG, 230 x 230 x 19 mm, New edition, illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN 9780300223736.‎ ‎This revelatory publication features a selection of beautifully reproduced images from the sketchbooks of Lucian Freud (1922-2011), one of the world?s greatest realist painters. Most of the sketches ? which include works in pencil, pastel, and watercolor from across the artist?s long career ? are published here for the first time. These fascinating images extend our understanding of Freud?s work and demonstrate the scrutiny he brought to his subjects. The sketchbooks, now in the archive of the National Portrait Gallery, London, include portraits of Freud?s family members, friends, and lovers. Designs for book covers, images of his beloved dogs and horses, landscapes, and interiors appear among nudes, still lifes, and several sketches that relate to major works. Around and between the drawings are Freud?s annotations and jottings ? appointments, racing tips, notes, musings ? which, with startling immediacy, provide a glimpse into the working life of one of the 20th century?s most important artists. The book includes an insightful essay by Martin Gayford, who sat for portraits by Freud and knew him well, and an illustrated chronology of the artist?s life.

‎Rick Wester, Reinhold Misselbeck‎ ‎Tony Ward: Tableaux Vivants‎ ‎, Edition Stemmle, 2002 Hardcover, 128 pages, ENG, 360 x 245 x 20 mm, as New !, dustjacket, photographs in b/w and full-page, . ISBN 9783908163541.‎ ‎In Tableaux Vivants, this genre master takes us through an elaborate series of conceptual and imaginative mise en scene, drawing the viewer into a fantasy-meets-reality dreamworld of theatrical environments where the perception of taboo is turned on its head. In his foreword, Rick Wester writes: "Tony Ward's photographs are nearly apolitical, but thrive on liberty. In a world seemingly overobsessed with sex, Ward's imagery is a dream pool, reflecting not only the deep-seated fantasies of the auteur but also the narcissistic and mischievous wanderings of his players." Witty, ironic, irreverent, sly or outrageous, these grandly staged, surreal settings are luxuriantly indulgent scenes of erotica. With his playfully daring and cleverly satirical nods to social, religious, cultural, and historical ideas and icons, Ward has created a boldly fabulous montage of erotic tableaux.‎ Bookseller reference : 60332	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €45.00 Buy

‎Benno Tempel ; Wim van Sinderen ; W.F. Hermans‎ ‎WILLEM FREDERIK HERMANS : Vrij Belangrijke Foto's.‎ ‎, Hannibal Books / Fotomuseum, Den Haag, 2022 Hardcover , 208 pagina's, NL, 285 x 235 x 28 mm, NIEUW, foto's in kleur / z/w. ISBN 9789464366839.‎ ‎Voor de tentoonstelling Vrij belangrijke foto's hebben twee Hermans-kenners uit de bijna 15.000 foto's een selectie van tientallen foto's gemaakt, waarvan het merendeel niet eerder is getoond. Sommige foto's zijn zelfs door Hermans nooit gezien, omdat ze zijn gereproduceerd van negatieven die hij zelf niet afdrukte. In de tentoonstelling is een mix van vintages afdrukken en nieuwe prints te zien. De titel van de tentoonstelling verwijst naar Hermans' archief. In het mapje Vrij belangrijke foto's zat een bonte verzameling van 57 afdrukken: portretten van Hermans zelf, zijn ouders en andere familieleden, vrienden plus foto's van affiches, de Arc de Triomphe, huizen in Wenen en het geboortehuis van Nietzsche. ** Als afsluiting van het 'Hermansjaar' 2021-2022, waarin wordt gevierd dat de Nederlandse schrijver Willem Frederik Hermans honderd jaar geleden werd geboren, presenteert het Fotomuseum Den Haag een expositie ingericht met door hem gemaakte foto's. Gelijktijdig verschijnt Willem Frederik Hermans - Vrij belangrijke foto's met een verse selectie uit zijn fotografi sche oeuvre. Het boek en de tentoonstelling kwamen tot stand onder auspici n van het Willem Frederik Hermans Instituut en met in-stemming van de Erven Hermans. Het in principe gesloten archief-Hermans is daarvoor een malig opengesteld voor de gastconservatoren. In 1957, toen zijn roman De donkere kamer van Damokles niet wilde vlotten, heeft Hermans overwogen zich om te scholen tot fotograaf. Hij kocht een professionele camera, mat zich de firmanaam 'Persfotobedrijf W.F. Hermans' aan en ging in de leer bij Nico Jesse, van wie hij ook een oude Leica overnam. Daarmee sloeg hij fanatiek aan het fotograferen in Groningen, Amsterdam en Parijs. Uiteindelijk kreeg de Leica een sleutelrol in zijn roman. Piet Schreuders en Bram Oostveen bekeken alle 4.500 zwartwitfoto's en 9.829 kleurendia's in het archief-Hermans en maakten een selectie waarvan het merendeel niet eerder is gepubli ceerd. Sommige foto's zijn zelfs door Hermans nooit gezien, omdat ze zijn gereproduceerd van negatieven die hij zelf niet afdrukte. Met tekstbijdragen van Wim van Sinderen, conservator van het Fotomuseum Den Haag, Piet Schreuders en W.F. Hermans. In zijn inlei ding plaatst Wim van Sinderen W.F. Hermans in de traditie van de Nederlandse fotografie. Piet Schreuders geeft achtergrondinformatie over de gekozen foto's in het essay 'De verlegen fotograaf' en W.F. Hermans geeft een inkijk in zijn visie op fotografie. Bram Oostveen werkt bij het onderzoeksinstituut Huygens ING en was nauw betrokken bij de totstandkoming van de 24-delige Volledige Werken van Willem Frederik Hermans.‎ Bookseller reference : 60344	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €52.50 Buy

‎Mircea Suciu‎ ‎MIRCEA SUCIU : Hotel Empathy‎ ‎, Hannibal Books, 2019 Paperback, 111 pages, ENG, 290 x 230 mm, NEW, illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN 9789492677938.‎ ‎This book gives an overview of the recent works of Mircea Suciu (b. 1978, Romania). Over the years he has developed a unique technique which combines oil, acrylic and monoprint. This process enables him to touch upon a wide range of political and social subjects with the necessary complexity. He juxtaposes representational imagery and abstraction in order to escape the single perspective or narrative. Suciu often works in series in an attempt to get to the essence of an image. The catalogue includes a text by Berlin-based writer and curator Jurriaan Benschop. "We tend to blame someone else: god, evil, destiny. There is no evil; there is no god; we are to blame in all cases. It is our weakness; it is the corruption of our minds and souls that creates the problems we confront in our society. The lack of education is the main factor that drives us into the pit of these sad moments. Our lack of involvement produces these catastrophic events. From dictatorship to war to climate change, we as individuals and as a society are the ones responsible. Standing, watching in oblivion, we expect a higher entity to solve this mess, and if it does not, we blame it on evil. The war we are experiencing is within ourselves." - Mircea Suciu‎ Bookseller reference : 60348	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €29.00 Buy
‎Ben Sledsens ; Herwig Todts ; Stefan Weppelmann‎ ‎BEN SLEDSENS monografie 2.‎ ‎, Hannibal Books, 2022 Hardcover, 192 pages / pagina's, ENG / NL / FR / D, 295 x 250 mm, NEW !, illustrated in fine colours. ISBN 9789464366778.‎ ‎Kunstenaar Ben Sledsens ( 1991) combineert een diepgaande kennis van de beeldtraditie met zijn eigen mythologie. Met zijn grootscha lige canvassen toont hij ons fragmenten uit zijn imaginaire wereld, een Utopia waarin hij zelf wil leven. Zijn kleuren en herinterpretaties van het landschap doen denken aan kunstenaars als Henri Matisse, Pierre Bonnard, Claude Monet, Henri Rousseau en Pieter Bruegel de Oude. Hoewel zijn landschappen, portretten, histo rische en dagelijkse taferelen een idyllische uitstraling hebben, schuilt in zijn taferelen ook een zekere spanning en mysterie. Zijn composi ties bouwt hij steeds op rond een moment van climax met een open begin en einde. Door het hergebruik van motieven, thema's, objecten en poses cre ert Sledsens een intrigerende puzzel van referenties en bouwt hij een herkenbaar, coherent, romantisch en utopisch oeuvre uit. Deze publicatie bundelt Sledsens' recentste werk, van 2018 tot nu. Ben Sledsens verschijnt naar aanleiding van zijn vierde solotentoonstelling bij Tim Van Laere Gallery, van 1 september tot 8 oktober 2022. Artist Ben Sledsens (b. 1991) combines an indepth knowledge of the visual tradition with his own mythology. With his large-scale canvases, he shows us fragments from his imaginary world, a Utopia in which he himself wants to live. His colors and reinterpretations of the landscape are reminiscent of artists such as Henri Matisse, Pierre Bonnard, Claude Monet, Henri Rousseau and Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Although his landscapes, portraits, and historical and daily scenes have an idyllic appearance, there is also a certain tension and mystery in his scenes. He always builds up his compositions around a moment of climax with an open beginning and end. By reusing motifs, themes, objects and poses, Sledsens creates an intriguing puzzle of references and builds a recognizable, coherent, romantic and utopian oeuvre. This publication bundles Sledsens' most recent work, from 2018 to the present.‎ Bookseller reference : 60349	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €59.00 Buy

ISBN 9781802790160.‎ ‎The House of Chanel is synonymous with not one, but two, iconic designers. First there was Gabrielle, and then there was Karl. Chanel is a house known for its signatures that not only changed the course of fashion history but still resonate today - the Little Black Dress, the tweed suit, costume jewellery, Chanel No5. These signatures were inspired by Gabrielle Chanel's taste, life experience and travels - but it was Karl Lagerfeld who took these signatures and ingeniously adapted them for the twenty-first century woman.

Little Book of Chanel by Lagerfeld covers his most exquisite pieces, breathtaking catwalk shows and constant reinvention that have maintained Chanel as the most illustrious couture house in the world.

ISBN 9789462303287.‎ ‎'Jan Van Imschoot. The end is never near' biedt een uitgebreid overzicht van het oeuvre van de Belgische schilder Jan Van Imschoot (1963, Gent, Belgi ). Jan Van Imschoot wordt vaak een vertegenwoordiger van de neo-figuratieve school genoemd, waar bijvoorbeeld ook Luc Tuymans en Marl ne Dumas deel van uitmaken. Hij beeldt in zijn schilderijen en tekeningen mensen en gebeurtenissen af. Hij vertelt daarbij verhalen vol eros en pijn, vol religieuze verwijzingen en connotaties. De figuren en objecten zijn geen concrete afbeeldingen, wel vervormde gezichtsvelden waarin het ambigue, de onzekerheid en de twijfel primeren. Van Imschoot studeerde schilderkunst in Gent, de stad waar hij woonde en werkte tot hij in 2013 naar Frankrijk verhuisde. Opvallend zijn de directheid van zijn figuratieve stijl, de uitgesproken penseelvoering en het evenwichtige en stoutmoedige gebruik van kleur. Jan Van Imschoot kiest bewust voor een heldere, soms tegenstrijdige en ironische taal. Zijn werk is opgebouwd rond historische thema's uit de literatuur en de kunstgeschiedenis en slaat bruggen met voorgangers zoals Caravaggio, Tintoretto, Goya en Manet. De kunstenaar gaat permanent in dialoog met het verleden, waarin hij zich, met een dosis cynisme, vaak richt op fenomenen of figuren die zich aan de rand van de (hedendaagse) samenleving bevinden. Dit boek brengt meer dan 220 werken van Jan Van Imschoot samen, die in combinatie met vijf begeleidende teksten een grondig inzicht bieden in de schilderspraktijk van deze Belgische meester.‎ Bookseller reference : 60355	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €49.00 Buy

There are special sections on Brooke Shields, whom Scavullo first photographed when she was only seven months old for an Ivory soap ad, Lauren Hutton, Rene Russo, Madonna, and Janis Joplin, the latter in a group of images never before published. And of course there are the models - from Veruschka to Iman to Claudia Schiffer - who are made forever more beautiful by Scavullo. With an introduction by Enid Nemy, a feature writer for The New York Times, and personal commentaries throughout by the photographer as well as an illustrated chronology, this exceptional book forms the photographer's most complete, intimate portrait of his life and work.‎ Bookseller reference : 60357	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €40.00 Buy
‎Frank P. Wartenberg, Wolfgang Behnken, Enno Kaufhold , translation : John S. Southard‎ ‎Frank P. Wartenberg : Colorpoints‎ ‎, Edition Stemmle, 1999 Hardcover, 144 pages , ENG , 335 x 255 x 19 mm, dustjacket , in perfect condition, full-page photographs in colour / b/w. Large Format ISBN 9783908161714.‎ ‎With an unerring sense of the contemporary in photography, wartenberg stages dreams, emotions, and moods in his pictures, underscoring the beauty of the models while allowing the viewer room for imaginative interpretation. The central focus of the Hamburg photographer's work is the human being, whom he portrays masterfully and with considerable aesthetic appeal. His spectrum ranges from reduction of the subject to essential details, to opulently staged scenes in vivid color. A particularly remarkable aspect of Wartenberg's work is his unique sense of color and special effects, which he creates through masterful use of lighting manipulated with the sensitivity of a painter. He also employs a diverse selection of technical approaches, including 35mm shots "on location", medium- or large-format work in the studio, and Polaroid 50 x 60 exposures. Only his finished photos are digitized, and he employs the process for the purposes of communication and further processing only.‎ Bookseller reference : 60359	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €39.90 Buy

We're Going Bathing! : Bilder Aus Funf Jahrhunderten Von Durer Bis Hockney‎ ‎, , 2015 Paperback, 108 pages / seiten, ENG / D, 220 x 205 x 10 mm, NEW / NEU, illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN 9783731901907.‎ ‎"Bathing" is closely linked to three issues: the body, hygiene, and social amusement. The naked or subtle covered body lives on the affinity to nature and naturalness: in its graceful movements and its ambience, by bathing amongst others or in oblivious intimacy, in an open landscape (from Arcadia to tropical paradises) or in a narrow boudoir or an old German bathing hall. The hygienic issue, on the other hand, is rather associated with terms of health and well-being than with beauty. The social amusement issue ranges from water sports to life on the beach to a stage for social life. Baths are a place of freedom, of informality and fantasy, of distraction and eroticism. Furthermore the bathing motif also stimulates allegorical, mythological and literary fields, like images of "The Fountain of Youth" or "Bathing Diana with Nymphs" or "Venus". The catalogue shows the most beautiful bathing scenes posessed by the Berlin Kupferstichkabinett, amongst them works by D rer, Rembrandt, Degas and Otto M ller.‎ Bookseller reference : 60365	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €25.00 Buy

ISBN 9781849495233.‎ ‎Published to huge critical acclaim to support the major BBC television series on this ever more influential art form, this landmark book explores the key events and the key images that have marked the development of photography. At the heart of the book is a quest to understand what makes a truly great photograph. What is it that makes a photograph by Nan Goldin or Henri Cartier Bresson stand out among the millions of others taken by all of us every single day? The Genius of Photography examines the evolution of photography in its wider context: social, political, economic, technological and artistic. It also brings a critical perspective and a strong aesthetic sense to the subject. Beginning with the earliest days of the photograph in the 1840s and ending with an examination of the state of photography today and the effect that the 'digital revolution' will have, the book challenges not only how we look at a photograph but what it is in a physical sense. It examines all the different genres of photography from landscape and portraiture to news and reportage. It also tells the great stories behind many of the world's most iconic photographs and reveals the extraordinary characters - from Louis Daguerre and Cindy Sherman, Paul Strand and Robert Capa - who have made and defined this art form. Provocative and enlightening by turns, this is a major book for anyone who wants to know more about one of the most important art forms of the 21st century.‎ Bookseller reference : 60376	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €39.95 Buy

ISBN 9789083266633.‎ ‎In 1966 stelde de volkse, Nederlandse kunstverzamelaar Jelle Taeke de Boer naar zijn zeggen niet minder dan tachtig verloren gewaande Van Goghs tentoon. Het kunstestablishment zweeg. Een jaar later presenteerde De Boer zijn werken met veel succes in Luzern, maar het Zwitserse gerecht nam de collectie in beslag. Tijdens de vele processen die volgden, werd nooit aangetoond dat het om valse werken ging. Ruim vijftig jaar en vele avonturen later is nog altijd onduidelijk of er in deze ?verzwegen collectie? al dan niet authentieke Van Goghs zitten. Geert Vermeulen werd in de jaren tachtig en negentig (in Vlaanderen) bekend als acteur in o.a. Het Pleintje, Alfa Papa Tango en Kongo. Voor televisie (vrt) ontwikkelde en schreef hij (i.s.m. anderen) de series In Vlaamse Velden en Katarakt. Voor het theater schreef, speelde en/of regisseerde hij o.a. monologen over Pieter Paul Rubens en James Ensor.‎ Bookseller reference : 60380	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €24.95 Buy
‎Geert Sels; Ineke Vander Vekens‎ ‎Kunst voor das Reich : op zoek naar naziroofkunst uit Belgi‎ ‎, Lannoo, 2022 Hardcover, 448 pagina's, NL, 245 x 180 x 40 mm, Nieuw, met foto's / illustraties in kleur / z/w. ISBN 9789401428743.‎ ‎Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog vond er een immense kunstroof plaats. Vanuit de bezette gebieden versleepten de nazi's kunst naar Duitsland om ambitieuze collecties op te zetten. Voor het eerst wordt dat verhaal voor Belgi verteld. Hoe konden schilderijen van Memling, Van der Weyden, Brueghel, Jordaens en Cranach zomaar het land verlaten? De nazi's haalden woningen leeg, roofden kunst, dwongen eigenaars te verkopen en spendeerden miljoenen rijksmarken op de kunstmarkt. Na 8 jaar onderzoek legt Geert Sels de puzzelstukken bij elkaar die hij aantrof in archieven in Parijs, Den Haag, Koblenz en de grootste Belgische steden. Met doorgedreven speurwerk brengt hij de trajecten in kaart waarlangs de kunst werd weggehaald. Hij stelt vast dat verzamelaars, handelaars en veilinghuizen zonder veel terughoudendheid meegingen in de kunstverwerving van de nazi's. Na de oorlog vonden schilderijen uit Belgi hun weg naar het Louvre, Tate Britain, het Getty Museum of de Yale Art Gallery. Nederland, Frankrijk, Duitsland en zelfs Rusland blijken nog altijd kunst te hebben die naar Belgi had moeten terugkeren. Dat maakt het Belgische verhaal tot een internationaal verhaal. Andere werken kwamen wel terug en hangen nu in Belgische musea, maar zonder dat de rechtmatige eigenaars werden opgespoord. Waarom is dat niet gebeurd? In tegenstelling tot andere landen is Belgi pijnlijk passief gebleven inzake naziroofkunst. Kunst voor das Reich brengt een ongemakkelijke waarheid en is een stresstest voor het overheidsbeleid. Vergeten dossiers komen bloot te liggen en de duistere kant van schilderijen in onze musea wordt belicht.‎ Bookseller reference : 60381	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €38.50 Buy

ISBN 9780198143864.‎ ‎Lying at the heart of the Western classical tradition, the rich legacy of the arts of ancient Greece and Rome continues to provide inspiration and guidance to artists and art lovers everywhere. Lavishly illustrated and masterfully prepared under the editorship of John Boardman, one of the world's preeminent classicists, The Oxford History of Classical Art offers readers the definitive companion to the artistic and architectural achievements of the Greco-Roman world, from the rise of the Greek city-states to the fall of the Roman Empire. Written by Boardman and a team of distinguished experts, this sumptuous volume presents the full pageantry and glory of the classical world, tracing the origins and evolution of classical art as it gradually moved from the art of individuals and small communities to the art of a world power. Particular attention is paid throughout to the splendor and quality of the arts themselves, aptly represented in 528 stunningly beautiful black and white and full-color plates. From the stiffly representational style of early antiquity and the oriental influence of Egypt and Mesopotamia to the full flowering of the Greece's Golden Age, text and illustrations work together to enhance our appreciation of the fascinating process through which humanity itself became the central focus of art, and artists and artisans sought for the first time not just to imitate the natural world, but to actually improve on nature through perfection of form and composition. Turning to Rome, the contributors dramatically illustrate that Roman art was far more than a mere pastiche of Greek influences. They take an in-depth look at the Romans' profound contributions to architecture, as they used their technical progress with arch, vault, and the use of brick and concrete, to create new attitudes to the use of space and light and principles of design which went far beyond the more limited ambitions of the Greek world. Destined to become the definitive sourcebook in its field, The Oxford History of Classical Art is indispensable for anyone intrigued by the timeless heritage of the ancient world, as well as for artists and students of art and art history.‎ Bookseller reference : 60383	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €25.00 Buy

Cette monographie d taill e fournit des informations in dites sur sa vie et son oeuvre. Accompagn de nombreuses reproductions de ses peintures, le texte r v le l'?uvre d'un artiste original la puissance ind niable. Sisley a consacr toute sa production aux paysages.

Le critique Kenneth Clark consid re d'ailleurs la s rie des peintures de la Tamise comme l'un des " moments parfaits de l'impressionnisme ".

ISBN 9780714839677.‎ ‎Fashion today is as much about image as it is about ideas: indeed the two concepts are synonymous with our perceived notions of style. Yet over the past decade, the increasing use of technology and image manipulation within the fashion industry have led to a noticeable increase in the fantastical image. From fashion shoots that display clothes adorned on invisible models, to painterly reinterpretations of the traditional fashion tableaux, the fine line between reality and fantasy is becoming increasingly blurred. The images shown include shoots by the giants of the fashion photography Nick Knight and Inez van Lamsweerde, and work by a new breed of up-and-coming artists and photographers such as Solve Sundsbo, Philip Poynter and Norbert Schoerner.

ISBN 9780714838144.‎ ‎Towards the end of Van Gogh's short life, during his time in Provence, his pictures of flowers and plants acquired a singular beauty and intensity. Nature and the countryside provided him with the inspiration, restorative power and freshness of subject matter for which he seems to have yearned. The sight of trees in blossom, flowery meadows, sunflowers and irises prompted endless experiments in colour and movement to result in a wealth of vibrant and intensely beautiful paintings. This stunning book celebrates Van Gogh's profound love of flowers. It contains a broad selection of ravishing colour illustrations, together with a number of the artist's alluring and intriguing pen-and-ink drawings, which demonstrate the vigorous and individual calligraphy of his work. The text draws upon Van Gogh's own moving and descriptive letters to show the great importance to him of nature and flowers, and includes documentary material that is essential and exclusive.‎ Bookseller reference : 60400	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €35.00 Buy
‎Robert Brian Tate, Marcus Tate ; Pablo Keller‎ ‎Pilgrim Route to Santiago‎ ‎, Phaidon, 1987 Hardcover, 159 pages, ENG, 290 x 250 x 20 mm; dustjacket, in very good condition, illustrations in colour / b/w. ISBN 9780714824253.‎ ‎When St James the Great was beheaded in Jerusalem in AD 61, he became the first apostle to be martyred for his faith. According to legend, his disciples brought the body in a miraculous stone boat to north-western Spain, where they buried it in a place now known as Santiago de Compostela. Following a claim in the early ninth century that the tomb had been rediscovered, people began flocking to the site to venerate the relics. Santiago became, after Rome and Jerusalem, the most important place of pilgrimage in medieval Christendom. Pilgrims from all over Europe broke away from their daily routine and set off along the 'Way of St James' through France and Spain to the remote town of Santiago. They travelled from hostel to hostel, visiting the churches and other holy places which lay on the route. Over the centuries a 'cultural highway' evolved, which has left an indelible mark on the artistic, religious and social map of Europe. In 1984, Brian Tate, Emeritus Professor of Spanish at the University of Nottingham, retraced the ancient journey of the pilgrims, accompanied by his son Marcus and the photographer Pablo Keller. The result is a remarkable visual record of some of the most beautiful landscapes in southern Europe and architectural treasures dating from the Romanesque to the present day. To complement Pablo Keller's photographs, Brian and Marcus Tate have written a book that explains the pilgrimage phenomenon and the history of the shrine, as well as providing a companion to the journey itself. Five maps show the route in detail. Modern travellers, whether from the comfort of an armchair or in the footsteps of the original pilgrims, can re-create for themselves this great spiritual adventure of the medieval world. -- Inside jacket flap.‎ Bookseller reference : 60402	Livre Rare Book ERIK TONEN BOOKS Antwerpen Belgium Bélgica Bélgica Belgique [Books from ERIK TONEN BOOKS] €30.00 Buy
