Goldgrund und Perspektive (eBook, PDF)

Fra Angelico im Glanz des Quattrocento

Beschreibung

This book contains the first extensive study on the gold ground in Italian panel painting. In Fra Angelico's panel paintings, gold leaf applications and perspectival modes of representation complement each other. Therefore, this book revises the history of perspective and gives answers to the question of how the gold ground became a blind spot in art historical research over the past decades.

Rezensionen

"Saskia Quené's dissertation [...] is a smart and beautifully produced book. Stating that it fills a gap would not be quite accurate, as it rather expands its main concepts in all kinds of ways." (Henrike C. Lange in: Inquiries into Art, History, and the Visual, 2024/4, https://journals.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/index.php/xxi/article/view/108509 (06.01.2025))

***

"Quené endet ihren bedeutenden Beitrag zu Fra Angelico also tatsächlich mit der Aufhebung des von einer bestimmten Kunstgeschichte zementierten Widerspruchs zwischen Goldgrund und Perspektive!" (Katharina Weiger in: https://arthist.net/reviews/43598 (19.12.2024))

***

"'Goldgrund und Perspektive' captivates readers with both its remarkable boldness and the apparent ease with which Saskia Quené addresses major questions in the field of art history." (Juror's Report, Jan van Gelderprijs 2024, https://www.kunsthistorici.nl/nieuws/jan-van-gelderprijs/)
