Very good, clean copy. By the end of the 15th century, the remains of the ancient gods littered the landscape of Western Europe. Christianity had erased the religions of ancient Greece and Rome and most Europeans believed the destruction of classical art was God's judgment on the pagan deities. How, then, did European artists during the next three centuries create such monumental works as Botticelli's The Birth of Venus and Raphael's Parnassus? In The Mirror of the Gods, Malcolm Bull tells the revolutionary story of how the great artists of Western Europe--from Botticelli and Leonardo to Titian and Rubens--revived the gods of ancient Greece and Rome. Each chapter focuses on a different deity and sheds dazzling new light on such familiar figures as Venus, Hercules, and Bacchus. Bull draws on hundreds of illustrations to illuminate the ancient myths through the eyes of Renaissance and Baroque artists, not as they appear in classical literature. When the wealthy and powerful princes of Christian Europe began to identify with the pagan gods, myth became the artist's medium for telling the story of his own time. The Mirror of the Gods is the fascinating and extraordinary story of how Renaissance artists combined mythological imagery and artistic virtuosity to change the course of western art. The Mirror of the Gods profoundly deepens our understanding of some of the greatest and most subversive artwork in European history. This delightfully told, lavishly illustrated, and extraordinary book amply rewards our ongoing fascination with classical myth and Renaissance art.

Richly ills.(B&W and some full-colour pictures). Hard bound. ?This book is most valuable for its overview of a vast field - the reception of classical mythology throughout European art and literature from the fourteenth through the seventeenth centuries. It surveys the literary sources that spurred the revival of interest in the pagan gods and categories the types of artistic objects - domestic furnishings, painting, sculpture, prints, tapestries, manuscripts, and majolica - where their images appeared. Bull conclues that Hercules, Jupiter, Venus, Bacchus, Diana, and Apollo were the most frequently depicted, and accordingly devotes a chapter to each. The final chapter analyses the selection pattern attributing it to individual choices of patrons interested in astrology, and hence planetary deities, and in subject matter involving amorous encounters or exotic animals. The epilogue explains the thematic distribution in terms os mythology supplying what Christianity eschewed, an imagery of sexuality, fertility and secular power. (?) His large scope allows Bill to make a number of interesting general observations. He frames his remarks about mythological art in the Renaissance and Baroque periods by contrast with its Greco-roman origins to underscore the very different circumstances in the later epoch, where no one believed in the pagan gods and very little precise information survived about their imagery?s ritual use and display. (?) Bull contends that mythological visual imagery appeared mostly in what he characterises as secondary locations: domestic furnishings such as marriage chests, majolica, birth trays, and small boxes for jewellery and other precious objects, temporary decorations for festivals or triumphal entries, prints, and sculptures for fountains and gardens. (?) Readers will profit from the separate analyses of the six deities most favoured in European iconography ca. 1400-1700 and the summaries by their myths? literary sources. Everyone will enjoy his lively writing and the accompanying abundant, if poor quality, illustrations, but scholars will be frustrated by the sparse endnotes.?

Richly ills.(B&W and some full-colour pictures). Hard bound. ?This book is most valuable for its overview of a vast field - the reception of classical mythology throughout European art and literature from the fourteenth through the seventeenth centuries. It surveys the literary sources that spurred the revival of interest in the pagan gods and categories the types of artistic objects - domestic furnishings, painting, sculpture, prints, tapestries, manuscripts, and majolica - where their images appeared. Bull conclues that Hercules, Jupiter, Venus, Bacchus, Diana, and Apollo were the most frequently depicted, and accordingly devotes a chapter to each. The final chapter analyses the selection pattern attributing it to individual choices of patrons interested in astrology, and hence planetary deities, and in subject matter involving amorous encounters or exotic animals.
