Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Among natures most artful creations, shells have long inspired the curiosity and passion of artisans, artists, collectors, and thinkers. Conchophilia delves into the intimate relationship between shells and people, offering an unprecedented account of the early modern era, when the influx of exotic shells to Europe fuelled their study and representation as never before. From elaborate nautilus cups and shell-encrusted grottoes to delicate miniatures, this richly illustrated book reveals how the love of shells intersected not only with the rise of natural history and global trade but also with philosophical inquiry, issues of race and gender, and the ascent of art-historical connoisseurship.Shells circulated at the nexus of commerce and intellectual pursuit, suggesting new ways of thinking about relationships between Europe and the rest of the world. The authors focus on northern Europe, where the interest and trade in shells had its greatest impact on the visual arts. They consider how shells were perceived as exotic objects, the role of shells in courtly collections, their place in still-life tableaus, and the connections between their forms and those of the human body. They examine how artists gilded, carved, etched, and inked shells to evoke the permeable boundary between art and nature. These interactions with shells shaped the ways that early modern individuals perceived their relation to the natural world, and their endeavours in art and the acquisition of knowledge.Spanning painting and print to architecture and the decorative arts, Conchophilia uncovers the fascinating ways that shells were circulated, depicted, collected, and valued during a time of remarkable global change.'A truly fascinating book with broad interdisciplinary appeal. Conchophilia is well researched, and filled with remarkable visual material, rich descriptions, and new insights.' Angela Vanhaelen, author of The Wake of Iconoclasm'Important and potentially field-defining, Conchophilia convincingly argues for the aesthetic, philosophical, and social importance of exotic shells in early modern culture. The works interdisciplinary nature combined with the sheer mass of dazzling illustrations will appeal to a wide audience as well as specialists in art history, the history of science, and the history of early modern Europe.' Beth Tobin, author of The Duchesss Shells "A history of shells in early modern Europe, and their rich cultural and artistic significance"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
