Description:Saint Joseph's University Press is pleased to publish the English translation of Andrea Pozzo and Video Art, by the late Felix Burda-Stengel (1967-2001), as the eighth volume in its "Early Modern Catholicism and the Visual Arts Series." Originally published in German in 2001 (Gebr. Mann Verlag), this study subsequently appeared in French translation in 2006 (Isthme éditions).The Jesuit lay brother and baroque artist Andrea Pozzo (1642-1709) was a master of illusionist perspective art. Burda-Stengel's' pioneering book, Andrea Pozzo and Video Art, provides a case study in the history of art and media by focusing on Pozzo's art in relation to the modern video art of Bill Viola, Bruce Nauman, and Gary Hill. Before proceeding to this comparison, the author offers an overview of Pozzo's biography; situates the artist in the context of 17th-century interest in the natural sciences and optics and in relation to contemporaries such as Athanasius Kircher (1601/2-80), Jean-François Niceron (1613-46), and Emmanuel Maignan (1601-76); and presents a thorough analysis of three masterpieces of Pozzo's illusionist art: the church of St. Francis Xavier in Mondovì, the corridor to the rooms of St. Ignatius of Loyola in the Roman Casa Professa, and the cupola and ceiling of the church of Sant'Ignazio in Rome. Profusely illustrated with more than 90 color and black-and-white images, the book is rounded off by a bibliography and index.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
