Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary: This absorbing and original study examines the extraordinary surreal art of Bruegel the Elder in terms of the visual culture of carnivals and dreams. This is also the first study of the origins of nightmare imagery in art and culture. The book explains how the culture of carnivals and dreams converged during the Renaissance, and why this revolutionised the nature of public and private fantasy. Using Bruegel as a case-study, Milne brings together a great range of new and fascinating sources, drawing on philosophy, mysticism and folk culture, as well as art and imaginative literature. Milne guides us through the genesis of the modern nightmare in Bruegel's art and culture. The result is a ground-breaking contribution to visual and psychological history, and an illuminating account of Bruegel's most enigmatic and disturbing works.

Download or read book Renaissance Dream Cultures written by Alessandro Arcangeli and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-31 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the dream cultures of the European long sixteenth century, with a focus on Italian sources, reflections and debates on the nature and value of dreams, and frameworks of interpretation. The chapters examine a variety of oneiric experiences, since distinctions such as that between dreams and visions are themselves culturally specific and variable. Several developments of the period are relevant and consequently considered, from the introduction of the printing press and the humanist rediscovery of ancient texts to the religious reforms and the cultural encounters at the time of the first globalisation. At the centre of the narrative is the exceptional case of Girolamo Cardano, heterodox physician, mathematician, astrologer, autobiographer, dreamer and key dream theorist of the epoch. The Italian peninsula produced the first printed editions of many classical and medieval treatises, and, particularly between the 1560s and the 1610s, was also especially active in the writing of texts, both Latin and vernacular, fascinated by the oneiric experience and investigating it. Given the role of the visual in dreaming, images are also analysed. This book will be a recommended reading for scholars, students and non-specialist readers of cultural history, Renaissance studies and dream cultures.
