Description

New Studies on Old Masters: Essays in Renaissance Art in Honour of Colin EislerOverview The twenty essays in this collection examine critical issues in Renaissance art. Written by students of Colin Eisler (Professor, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University), they serve as both a tribute to an exceptional scholar and a reflection of his engagement with technical studies, connoisseurship, cultural exchanges between Italy and northern Europe, and the intersection between art and its religious and cultural contexts.

Overview

The twenty essays in this collection examine critical issues in Renaissance art. Written by students of Colin Eisler (Professor, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University), they serve as both a tribute to an exceptional scholar and a reflection of his engagement with technical studies, connoisseurship, cultural exchanges between Italy and northern Europe, and the intersection between art and its religious and cultural contexts. Collectively, they highlight the ways in which Colin Eisler’s scholarly achievements have inspired and will continue to inspire innovative research into the art of western Europe and beyond.

Included in this volume is Suzanna B. Simor’s article “The Credo in Siena: Art, Civic Religion and Politics in Sienese Images of the Christian Creeds”, which was awarded the 2011 Worldwide Books Award for Publications Research given by the Art Libraries Society of North America.

Praise

“This volume is worthy of its dedicatee. Its essays reflect the astonishing variety of Professor Eisler’s own scholarship, as well as his great impact as a teacher over a span of more than half a century. Diverse interpretive methodologies on topics ranging from technical examination to iconological interpretation demonstrate the interconnectedness of the Renaissance in a way that is rarely achieved in a single volume.” – Laurinda Dixon, Syracuse University

Chic, sturdy, and perfect for entertaining
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
This bar cart is exactly what I was hoping for. The gold finish gives it a really elevated, high-end look without the high-end price tag. It fits perfectly into my space and instantly makes the area feel more put together. Assembly was straightforward, and once built, it feels sturdy and well-balanced. The wheels roll smoothly, which makes it easy to move around when hosting or rearranging. I also appreciate the three-tier design, it holds a good amount without feeling bulky. I’ve styled it as a bar cart, but it would honestly work just as well as a coffee station or decorative piece. It’s one of those items that’s both functional and aesthetic. Definitely a great buy if you want something stylish that still feels practical.

Beautiful Bar Cart
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
Beautiful and very sturdy. It took about 1 hour to put together. The directions was a little confusing when it came to the middle bar that connects C & D. Make sure the middle bar is down facing so the marble slab will lay flat. Other than that, beautiful piece , great quality and perfect size.

Nice
Color: Gold
Ask pictured. Shipped very fast. Very easy to assemble. Very stable. The wheels are a plus to where you are entertaining. You can actually roll the whole cart around which is a plus for me, especially when I am entertaining multiple guests. Looks really beautiful. Got tons of compliments on it made of good material and very sturdy.
