Anna Brownell Jameson (17941860) was one of the great art critics of her age and these richly illustrated volumes demonstrate her careful treatment of religious representations.Published in 1848 this twovolume work was received with great praise. During a celebrated career Anna Brownell Jameson (17941860) produced Shakespeare criticism travel writing biography and art history and was admired by contemporaries such as Mary Shelley and Thomas Carlyle. Taking an aesthetic rather than religious approach the work is a study of the legends represented in Western art of the Middle Ages ordered taxonomically. Though Jameson is considered the first professional female art critic this is a reductive label: she was rather one of the great art critics of her age and her work is still of importance to art historians. Volume 1 which is richly illustrated covers the literary origins of the legends and surveys the representation of angels and archangels the Four Evangelists the Twelve Apostles the Doctors of the Church and a number of significant saints including Mary Magdalene.Preface: Introduction: Of angels and archangels: The Four Evangelists: The Twelve Apostles: The Doctors of the Church: St Mary Magdalene St Martha St Lazarus St Maximin St Marcella St Mary of Egypt and the beatified penitents.Data Publikacji: 2012-07-19
