Rapelli, Paola: Symbols of Power in Art
This latest volume in the acclaimed Guide to Imagery series examines the way that sovereign rulers have employed well-defined symbols, attributes and stereotypes to convey their power to their subjects and rivals, as well as to leave a legacy for future generations to admire. A closing chapter is devoted to Napoleon I, arguably the ultimate master of symbolic display. Encompassing everything from the legendary rulers of antiquity such as Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, through medieval leaders like Frances Louis IX and the Tsars of Russia, to the great European royal dynasties of the Hapsburgs and the Tudors, exploring how and why they manipulated their images, and what the symbology really meant.
