Although fewer than eighty of Caravaggio''s painted works exist, they represent a critical moment in the development of European painting as the Renaissance style gave way to that of the Baroque. This monograph explores the Italian master''s entire life and career by focusing on the most important of his works. Readers will learn about his innovative use of light and shadow, his physical and psychological realism, and his radical technique of omitting initial drawings and creating straight onto the canvas. Along the way readers will learn details of the artist''s colourful, and often troubled life, as well as the important role he played in the evolution of Western painting. Overflowing with impeccably reproduced images, this book offers full-page spreads of masterpieces as well as highlights of smaller details - allowing the viewer to appreciate every aspect of the artist''s technique and oeuvre. Chronologically arranged, the book covers important biographical and historic events that reflect the latest scholarship. Additional information includes a list of works, timeline, and suggestions for further reading.

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio lived the darkest and most dangerous life of any of the great painters. The worlds of Milan, Rome and Naples through which Caravaggio moved and which Andrew Graham-Dixon describes brilliantly in this book, are those of cardinals and whores, prayer and violence. On the streets surrounding the churches and palaces, brawls and swordfights were regular occurrences. In the course of this desperate life Caravaggio created the most dramatic paintings of his age, using ordinary men and women - often prostitutes and the very poor - to model for his depictions of classic religious scenes. Andrew Graham-Dixon''s exceptionally illuminating readings of Caravaggio''spictures, which are the heart of the book, show very clearly how he created their drama, immediacy and humanity, and how completely he departed from the conventions of his time.

In his short and violent life, Michelangelo Merisl da Caravaggio (1571-1610) revolutionised painting, producing a style of shockingly immediate realism that swept through Europe. Almost everything we know about Caravaggio’s life comes from these three early biographies that reflect the sometimes horrified fascination he exerted on his contemporaries. Giulio Mancini was Caravaggio’s doctor, Giovanni Baglione a bitter rival and art historian, Giovanni Pietro Bellori the most judicious art historian of the following generation. All provide a vivid picture of a man whose life reads in part like a thriller, as well as a fascinating window onto a world and habits of seeing that were mercilessly challenged by Caravaggio’s art.This edition of Lives of Caravaggio is introduced by the leading expert on the painter, Dr Helen Langdon, who elucidates the historical and artistic context of these biographies. This revised edition now includes The Supper at Emmaus and 47 pages of colour illustrations.

Jsou rostliny inteligentní bytosti? Dokážou mezi sebou komunikovat a řešit problémy? Nebo představují netečnou a nehybnou součást našeho světa, bez jakékoli citlivosti? Tyto otázky si kladou autoři, když provádějí čtenáře neobyčejným a fascinujícím světem rostlin. Postupně dokazují, že rostliny zdaleka nejsou organismy nižšího řádu. Naopak, stejně jako ostatní živé bytosti mají svou osobnost, jsou nadány pěti smysly jako my, vzájemně si předávají informace a vstupují do interakce se zvířaty, přijímají strategie pro přežití, vedou sociální život, účinně využívají energetické zdroje. Dovedou volit mezi možnostmi, učit se a pamatovat si. Inteligence, schopnost se učit, paměť a komunikace nejsou výsadou živočišného světa.

The first complete monograph on the provocative work of influential Italian designer, architect, and critic Alessandro MendiniBorn in Milan in 1931, Alessandro Mendini created vivid, boundary-pushing, eccentric work that sits in an aesthetic universe of its own. He was at the heart of Italy’s Radical design movement in the 1960s and 1970s and, later, Postmodernism, championing a sensitive and intellectual approach to design; he edited Domus magazine in the early 1980s; and he collaborated with brands ranging from Alessi, Swarovski, and Hermès to Supreme. Along with his contemporaries Ettore Sottsass and Gaetano Pesce, Mendini helped to redefine the concept of Italian design and architecture.This comprehensive monograph – the first on Mendini’s complete portfolio of work – features a wealth of previously unpublished documents and images. Written by critic Stefano Casciani, who worked with Mendini for many years, the book offers a uniquely personal account illustrated by photographs, ephemera, and many of Mendini’s idiosyncratic and playful sketches.Presented in a dynamic package inspired by Mendini’s distinctive aesthetic, the book is a design object in its own right, with a pink cloth cover featuring one of Mendini’s iconic magazine covers on the front, a sketch of his famous Proost chair on the back, ...

A thoughtful analysis of how major powers can obtain UN Security Council approval for military intervention  Powerful states often seek UN Security Council approval for their military interventions to enhance legitimacy, but how can they secure this approval when veto-wielding permanent members have grave misgivings? In this groundbreaking study of UNSC diplomacy, Stefano Recchia tackles this question by drawing on hundreds of declassified documents and interviews that he conducted with top diplomats from multiple countries. Recchia demonstrates that since the early 1990s, powerful states facing significant opposition at the UNSC have not been able to rely solely on economic and political leverage to obtain a resolution of approval. Instead, they have had to combine exertions of leverage with credible signals that they would act with restraint and in line with core international norms. This often required that they agree to incorporate costly limitations on the use of force, such as time limits and multilateral oversight, into the requested resolution. Recchia argues that for better or worse accepting such constraints will be critical in the future if powerful countries, including the United States, are to secure UN approval in an increasingly competitive international environment.

Within this book, the fields of analytical psychology and sociology combine to examine and explore current social theory and the concept that the author has termed ‘absolute freedom’.This work serves as a vital contribution to contemporary social and psychoanalytic research, unveiling the intricacies of psychological and social dynamics in our current epoch. Stefano Carpani explores the intersection of psychology and sociology, providing a fresh perspective beyond conventional boundaries. It conducts a comparative analysis of C. G. Jung''s individuation process and Ulrich Beck''s individualization theory, presenting the groundbreaking ''I+I'' synthesis. This latter concept acts as a linchpin in deciphering self-identity narratives in the 21st century''s dynamic landscape, before the author introduces the concept of absolute freedom, contextualizing it within the multifaceted complexities of contemporary second-late-modern existence.This compelling new book will be of great interest to academics, scholars and students in the fields of analytical psychology, sociology and psychosocial studies.

Companies have more data at their fingertips than ever before. Yet, studies show that many executives and organizations fail to extract real value from it. Challenging the conventional wisdom of data-driven decision-making, marketing professors and behavioral scientists Bart De Langhe and Stefano Puntoni argue that many analytics efforts flounder because data analyses are disconnected from the decisions to be made.

The ground is covered in snow, the horizon a dark line of mountains; low milky clouds hide the sky. In the foreground, a shapeless form, a strange sagging mass of bright colors—red, blue and yellow—stirs as it fills with air. In less than a minute a popular fairground attraction appears: an inflatable, rotund form, awkward and genial, shaped like a double slide or a springboard, the kind often seen in children’s play areas, at fairs and village gatherings. Along with other inflatables in the same vein—a chubby castle complete with dragon, a football pitch—the slide is part of the bizarre landscape conjured up in Stefano Cerio’s Aquila, a series of photographs taken in Abruzzo at different times of year and in highly impactful settings not far from L’ Aquila, on the plains of Campo Felice, Campo Imperatore and Pescasseroli.
