Tiny print representing the Biblical episode of the Visitation the pregnant Mary visiting her cousin Elizabeth also pregnant with St. John.Signed on bottom right: ""R. Sadeler excud."" with two verses of Latin text below: ""Spectabam pulchro vinciri brachia nexu / Et dixi: haec inter vincula captus ero"". Possibly designed to decorate a small book like the ""Otium Spirituale"" published in Munich in 1617 by Anna Bergia with plates by Sadeler. The closest composition to this is perhaps the Visitation by Maarten de Vos engraved by Johann Sadeler: on the Virgin's back hangs a hat and her right arm unfolds outwards to hold the shoulder of Elizabeth. The elder woman's right hand reaches around the neck of Mary. In this small impression the respective husbands of the women stand on each side of the representation whereas in de Vos' they stand both on one side. Rare. Engraving on paper with small margins; plate mark: 78 x 48 mm total: 85 x 54 mm; traces of previous mountings; undocumented in Hollstein. unknown

Op deze plaats ontstond later een klooster. Volgens de legende werd het bos een bloemenhof toen Fiacrius de grond met zijn staf aanraakte. Fiacrius bezat ook de gave van genezing door handoplegging.

Rome Marco Pagliarini 1772-77. . 14 copper engraved plates with beautiful contemporary hand colour drawn by Gaetano Savorelli and Pietro Camporesi engraved by J. Ottaviani. Framed and glazed overall size: 56 x 123 cm<br /> Beautiful plates scarce with vibrant original hand-colour: a complete set of pilasters from the first part of the Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano series. <br /><br />From the first series of Camporesi's spectacular series of decorative engravings for Raphael's Loggie consisting of 13 bays in the Pope's private apartments beautifully decorated by Bramante and upon his death in 1514 finished by Raphael and his pupil Giovanni da Udine until 1519. <br /><br />Loggie de Raphaele nel Vaticano was a work commissioned by Pope Clement XIII at the bidding of Catherine the Great to portray one of the best kept secrets of the Renaissance. The plates depict the pilaster frescoes in stucco relief of the doorways and windows. They are renowned for their highly stylised portrayal of Classical and Biblical scenes and figures. The fanciful "grotesqueness" of Raphael's and mainly da Udine's designs show how much they were inspired by the recently discovered Golden House of Nero. Indeed the term "grotesque" was born out of the Loggie having been applied to it due to the similarity of the designs in the subterranean rooms or 'grottoes' of Nero's Palace and these pilaster's frescoes. Some commentators place these designs amongst the defining pieces of the Italian Renaissance with Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel and Massacio's Carmine Church.<br /> Brunet IV 1110; Berlin Kat 4068 & 4066; RIBA Early printed books 2710; Raphael Invenit: Stampe da Rafaello 1985 Ottaviano 2-15; Raphael: Reproduktions-graphik aus vier Jahrhunderten Coburg 1984 p.104 & no.245.

Hardback. New. <p>This book critically examines the reliance of society on experts specifically attacking the notion of the privilege of scientific expertise and defining the politics of this intellectual discourse. The extensive case material illustrates the consequences of claims of expert knowledge. Sassower questions the perception that scientific controversies are focused on epistemological concerns and demonstrates how the debates are often politically motivated. He proposes pedagogical models that would enhance the critical tools of the public - of citizens who must continuously scrutinize the positions of experts and their knowledge claims.</p> hardcover
