Описание: The alchemical masterpiece Splendor Solis reveals powerful illuminations that lyrically teach the Secrets of Alchemy.
Pick up the Golden Treasure Box, and you hold a beautiful work of art distilling the glories of an entire mystery school of visionary imagination. Inside awaits the gilt-edged Tarot deck of 78 cards, and the lavishly illustrated book of splendors, a lyrically-written resource for readings, and a guide to the mystic journey.
The Splendor Solis Tarot Book is a true 'Book of Splendors', introducing an initiatory journey through the visionary imagination, distilling an entire Mystery School of studies... The introduction sets the scene, showing how the book is written through the eyes of the Alchemical Apprentice, telling the fabulous tale of travels into the imaginal, where Tarot and Splendor Solis meet as 'Prospero's books'. In Shakespeare's Tempest the Magus abandons his books to the deeps, but we 'dream the myth onward', to see his wonderful daughter Miranda return to the island, seeking her own magical, alchemical wisdom. As the pages unfold, you can join with the Apprentice Alchemist and be invited 'inside the images', greeted by the animate sun who explains their origin, symbols and patterns, and offers guided reveries into the 'chapel of the heart' and 'court of the philosophers', from which to meet the Splendor Solis Tarot Artisans, Ambassadors and Awakeners.
Within the Splendor Solis Tarot cards the 22 major arcana are the Artisans, the archetypes that reveal their transformative powers along the pathways of the Tree of Life. The 56 minor arcana are presented as the four suits with magically painted Element colours, expressing the four worlds of Spirit, Soul, Mind and Body.

Описание:
Sydney J. Freedberg presents an interpretive analysis and a full Catalogue Raisonn of Andrea del Sarto's achievement. The interpretive work includes an account of Andrea's career as a painter, illustrations of all his authentic paintings and many of his drawings, a brief biography, and a selective bibliography. The painter's style and its place in the history of Italian painting are discussed in detail. The author questions current concepts of a sudden "triumph of Mannerism" in Florence after 1520 and presents a more balanced interpretation of this era.
The Catalogue Raisonn includes a complete critical catalogue of Andrea's paintings and drawings, an inventory of lost works, and a full account of paintings and drawings attributed to the artist. Documentary information on Andrea's life and the details of dating and attribution which are the basis for the interpretive text are also included. The illustrations in this volume supplement those in the interpretive work and will be of particular interest to scholars and art historians.
Описание: In Augustinian Art and Meditation in Renaissance Florence, Antonia Fondaras reunites the fifteenth-century altarpieces painted by Botticelli, Piero di Cosimo, Filippino Lippi, and other masters for the choir of the Augustinian church of Santo Spirito in Florence. Departing from a conventional focus on artist and patron, the author illuminates the engagement of the Augustinian Hermit friars with the composition and iconography of these pictures, and discusses how they were used to fashion the choir into a space suited to the friars’ institutional and spiritual ideals. Fondaras includes a close reading of the choir’s most compelling and original altarpieces, which were grounded in the writings of Augustine and provided a focal point for the friars’ sophisticated meditative practices.
