réf. 65997Brepols - Harvey Miller 2019. Hardback 2 vols 1152 pages Size:220 x 280 mm Illustrations:9 b/w 367 col. Languages: English Italian. ISBN 9781909400696. Summary Celebrated by Malvasia as the creator and promoter of the new maniera moderna Guido Reni 1575-1642 introduces the fourth age of painting: a period marked by an original and sometimes bold elaboration of the notion of artistic perfection developed by the Carracci and embodied more specifically by Ludovico's "synthesis of styles." Art in Italy could have declined once again after the deaths of the Carracci but thanks to Guido and Domenichino Francesco Albani and Guercino painting is restored to its full blossoming and as a result the Carracci lesson spreads and triumphs throughout Italy. In assessing Guido's role in promoting this artistic vanguard Malvasia finds himself in a theoretical impasse. On the one hand he cannot resist his infatuation with Guido's work. Endowed with spellbinding powers Guido's paintings constitute the greatest luxury of modernity insofar as they reflect an endless search for aesthetic refinement and transcendental beauty both in the representation of the human body and in the orchestration of light color and impasto. On the other hand Malvasia balks at embracing Guido's "last manner." In Malvasia's eyes Guido's final production is both exceedingly sophisticated and tainted by its very sophistication: delicacy verges on feebleness transcendence coalesces into purposeless abstraction divine vision engenders incompleteness and sprezzatura turns into apparent negligence. Furthermore for Malvasia Guido is both a paragon of virtue and the self-indulgent victim of the gambling demon. With acuity Malvasia praises Guido the money maker the self-confident artist able to overhaul the mechanisms of the art market by exponentially increasing the value of painting. And yet Malvasia cannot help but condemn Guido the money squanderer the indebted painter who gambles away his reputation and jeopardizes the quality of his sublime output. Illustrated with numerous color images these two volumes provide a critical edition and annotated translation of Malvasia's life of Guido. Based on a radical reassessment of the historical documentation and a profound investigation of Malvasia's art criticism these volumes offer the most thorough treatment to date of the artist's work.

The eccentric itinerant American evangelist Lorenzo Dow 1777-1834 is said to have preached to more people than any other of his period. A sickly child Dow was inspired by "religious speculations" in his youth. He joined the Methodist church and joined the Connecticut conference as a circuit preacher. Dow known to own but one set of clothes and whose long hair and beard were said to "never having met a comb" traveled on foot and horseback throughout the United States sometimes with his wife Peggy Dow. He carried little else with him except a box of Bibles which he would give away as well as the little money he earned which he would give to the poor. Although preaching a Methodist doctrine Dow also traveled to preach in England and Ireland as a missionary to the Catholics of that country. A controversy surrounding his introduction of camp meetings to England resulted in the formation of the Primitive Methodist Society. Dow would preach anywhere he could gather a crowd often announcing a year in advance where and when he would appear. He shouted screamed cried begged flattered insulted and challenged people while recounting stories and joking. Dow who preached against atheism deism Calvinism and Universalism was also a fierce abolitionist and his sermons were often unpopular in the South. Shaw: American bibliography 6190.
