This book asks how important Western artists, from Giotto to Titian and Caravaggio, and from Bosch to Durer and Rembrandt, shaped the imaging of non-Western individuals in early modern art. Victor I. Stoichita's nuanced and detailed study examines images of racial otherness during a time of new encounters of the West with different cultures and peoples, such as those with dark skins: Muslims and Jews. Featuring a host of informative illustrations and crossing the disciplines of art history, anthropology, and postcolonial studies, Darker Shades also reconsiders the Western canon's most essential facets: perspective, pictorial narrative, composition, bodily proportion, beauty, color, harmony, and lighting. What room was there for the 'Other,' Stoichita would have us ask, in such a crystalline, unchanging paradigm?","brand":"Smartfox Books","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41517630783621,"sku":"PR354490","price":94.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.com.au\/products\/darker-shades","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
