Heaven on Earth - Painting and the Life to Come Clark T. J.Pevná vazba
In this latest work, respected art historian T. J. He goes back to the late Middle Ages and Renaissance--to Giotto in Padua, Bruegel facing the horrors of religious war, Poussin painting the Sacraments, and Veronese unfolding the human comedy, in particular his inscrutable Allegory of Love. Clark sets out to investigate the different ways painting has depicted the dream of God's kingdom come: heaven descended to earth.
