{"product_id":"9781789140569","title":"Darker Shades : The Racial Other in Early Modern Art by Samuel Trainor","description":"Difference exists; otherness is constructed. This book asks how important Western artists, from Giotto to Titian and Caravaggio, and from Bosch to D?rer and Rembrandt, shaped the imaging of non-Western individuals in Early Modern art. This nuanced and detailed study examines images of racial `otherness' during a time of new encounters with different cultures and peoples, such as people of colour, Muslims and Jews. The book also reconsiders the Western canon's most essential facets: perspective, pictorial narrative, composition, bodily proportion, beauty, colour, harmony and lighting. What room was there for the `Other' in such a crystalline, unchanging paradigm? This book is a fascinating investigation for anyone interested in early modern art history, anthropology and post-colonial studies.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56306765857141,"sku":"9781789140569","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781789140569.jpg?v=1762801921","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781789140569","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
