Ercole fu il grande erede della tradizione ferrarese condusse la scuola locale al suo punto più alto e terminò la sua breve vita mentre era pittore di corte degli Este. Lorenzo spese una lunga parte della sua carriera lontano dalla patria e morì settantacinquenne a Mantova al servizio dei Gonzaga. Tuttavia i due pittori furono accomunati da una incessante volontà di misurarsi con le più importanti novità che attraversavano l'talia e l'Europa vissero il loro tempo da assoluti protagonisti ponendosi tra le principali personalità del Rinascimento nell'Italia settentrionale. Dalle atmosfere tese e distillate di Ercole de' Roberti alla moderna pacatezza di Lorenzo Costa il volume accompagna il visitatore attraverso sei decenni cruciali che hanno cambiato il volto dell'arte ferrarese e non solo.

"Ercole de'Roberti c. 1450-1496 and Lorenzo Costa 1460-1535 are two apparently rather different artists. Ercole was the great heir of the Ferrara tradition he led the local school to its highest point and ended his short life while he was court painter of the Este family. Lorenzo spent a long part of his career away from his homeland and died at the age of seventy-five in Mantua in the service of the Gonzaga family. However the two painters were united by an incessant desire to compete with the most important innovations that crossed Italy and Europe they lived their time as absolute protagonists placing themselves among the main personalities of the Renaissance in northern Italy. From the tense and distilled atmospheres of Ercole de' Roberti to the modern calmness of Lorenzo Costa the volume accompanies the visitor through six crucial decades that changed the face of Ferrara art and beyond.

2021réf. 201848New York: SUNY Press 2021. Hardcover. VG: The book is in excellent condition. Tight binding clean pages and sharp edges. Appears as though it were rarely if ever taken from the shelf. A matte hardcover book. The majority of it is white with an illustration on the front cover. The title is printed down the spine in black. Pages: 8 ix-xiii 1337. "Medicine is most often understood through the metaphor of war. We encounter phrases such as "the front lines of the Ebola crises" "a new weapon against antibiotic resistance" or "the immune system fights cancer" without considering their assumptions implications and history. But there is nothing natural about this language. It does not have to be nor has it always been the way to understand the relationship between humans and disease. Medicine Is War shows how this "martial metaphor" was popularized throughout the nineteenth century. Drawing on the works of Mary Shelley Charles Kingsley Bram Stoker Arthur Conan Doyle and Joseph Conrad Lorenzo Servitje examines how literary form reflected reinforced and critiqued the convergence of militarism and medicine in Victorian culture. He considers how in migrating from military medicine to the civilian sphere this metaphor responded to the developments and dangers of modernity: urbanization industrialization government intervention imperial contact crime changing gender relations and the relationship between the one and the many. While cultural and literary scholars have attributed the metaphor to late-nineteenth-century germ theory or immunology Medicine Is War offers a new more expansive history stretching from the metaphor's roots in early nineteenth-century militarism to its consolidation during the rise of early-twentieth-century pharmacology. In so doing Servitje establishes literature's pivotal role in shaping what war has made thinkable and actionable under medicine's increasing jurisdiction in our lives. Medicine Is War reveals how in our own moment the metaphor remains conducive to harming as much as healing to control as much as empowerment." SUNY Press hardcover books
