A must-have reference work for all art professionals, from museum curators to art educators, and a great book for art lovers, art buyers or anyone curious about the personifications and symbols depicted on their painting, print, sculpture, clock, silver or furniture.

At the end of the eighteenth century the well-known engravers H.F. Gravelot and C.N. Cochin compiled the four-volume `Iconologie par Figures`, comprising illustrations of hundreds of personifications and their attributes. This encyclopedic work, enjoyed tremendous success and served artists as a standard source-book of allegorical motifs until well into the nineteenth century.

Lels has taken the `Iconologie` to create a new, comprehensive and easy-to-search lexicon of personifications and symbols, as a modern day reader would want it. The index allows the contemporary viewer to interpret art and artifacts, starting with the attributes. It offers a clear alphabetical list of the attributes associated with Gravelot and Cochin’s 400 personifications, together with a pictorial overview to make searching even easier.

Never before has such thorough research been attempted into the attributes in the `Iconologie par Figures`. The relevance of this work extends beyond painting and sculpture to encompass applied art pieces, featuring allegorical scenes. The result is an insightful manual: an important and commendable new source for art history.

The book also contains a high quality reprint of the original 1791 edition: `Iconologie par Figures ou Traité complet des Allégories, Emblêmes etc. Ouvrage utile aux Artistes, aux Amateurs, et pouvant servir à l’éducation des jeunes personnes`, issued by the Parisian publisher le Pan.

Fluid Flesh

the Body, Religion and the Visual Arts

Prijs Euro 34.50

How do we relate the body we have and the bodies we see to the mind, or to the soul? Fluid Flesh addresses the relationship between the body, religion, and the visual arts, which is one of both love and tension. Are we able (and allowed) to think of the divine in a corporeal way? Isn’t artistic expression, which originated from both the human mind and body, intrinsically a bodily matter.

Featuring an introduction from James Elkins, Fluid Flesh covers an array of topics including the visual as a spiritual medium today; iconophilia and iconoclasm in the past and present; the human body, religion and contemporary lifestyles; and premodern and postmodern perspectives on anatomy and the visual arts. Several authors address the presentation of the human form in Christian art and ask whether the body may be present in religious art even without figuration. The authors highlight the intertwined and powerful roles of both the image and the body within a contemporary culture that has seemingly devalued language (in favor of the image) and has renewed a “sinful” conception of the body as in constant need of improvement.
