  • More about Stein: Eine Materialgeschichte in Quellen der Vormoderne


Die Anthologie "Stein - Marmor, Porphyr und Edelstein" analysiert den künstlerischen Umgang mit Stein, seiner Verwendung und malerischen Nachahmung im europäischen Kulturraum der Vormoderne. Sie umfasst Quellentexte von der Antike bis ins 18. Jahrhundert und bietet einen Einblick in den Steindiskurs des Kulturraums durch kommentierte Textpassagen von Künstlern, Kunsttheoretikern und Philosophen.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 425 pages
Publication date: 07 September 2021
Publisher: De Gruyter


The artistic handling of stone, its utilization, and the artistic reproduction of natural forms raise significant questions concerning early modern art production and art theory. The anthology brings together source texts from antiquity to the 18th century, allowing for the reconstruction of the written discourse on stone materials such as marble, porphyry, and emerald. With over 40 annotated texts contributed by artists, art theorists, humanists, church representatives, and philosophers, the anthology provides an insight into the stone discourse of the European cultural sphere in the modern era. The source commentaries contextualize the translated text passages within the relevant intellectual contexts.
