Item Number: 114050 Title: ROM sehen und sterben : Perspektiven auf die Ewige Stadt. Um 1500 – 2011 [Perspectives of the eternal city. From 1500 to 2011] Author: Knorr, Susasnne Ulrike Pennewitz ; Kai Uwe Schierz (eds) Price: Not Available ISBN: 9783866785632 Description: Bielefeld: Kerber, 2011. 27cm., hardcover, 360pp., 296 color illus. German text. Exhibition held at Kunsthalle, Erfurt. Summary: “See Rome and die” As the saying goes. A city that has always been the site of endless projections: of Classical Antiquity, of the sacred, it is the eternal city, attracting travellers and pilgrims from all over the world, a city of art, a focus of longing and inspiration. In the second half of the 19th century this changed dramatically. The artistic heart of Europe began to beat in Paris and artists began to take a more distanced view of a city that was a site of pilgrimage for classical ideals. This opulent publication accompanies the exhibition of the same name in Kunsthalle Erfurt, providing a special perspective of Rome as a destination and of the observer. This is reflected by art – right up to the present day. We regret to inform you that this title is no longer available. P.O.
