    Possible connections between theology and artistic beauty. The case of Caravaggio

    Get PDF
    Is it really the case that one could hope to build a theology around artistic beauty when one considers that theology is traditionally seen as being involved with truth? For, surely it is with ultimate Truth that the theologian is concerned. Of course, for the romantic imagination of the poet, beauty is truth and truth beauty; however, one can easily think of many beautiful images and conceptions which appear to bear little relation to truth. It is, after all, rather easy to be deceived by fair appearances. Even if one were to hold that Beauty and Truth are one in the unity of the transcendentals, in our more mundane encounters, it seems obvious that artistic beauty is no guarantee of truth. The same appears to be the case with goodness; it seems evident that a truly beautiful artifact does not say anything about the moral character of its maker.peer-reviewe

    The Russian social critic Dmitry I. Pisarev writes in his essay Bazarov that Turgenev\u27s novel, in addition to its artistic beauty, is remarkable for the fact that it stirs the mind, leads to reflection, although, it does not solve a single problem itself . The novel\u27s brilliance does not reside in the situations we witness, but in the author\u27s attitudes toward those situations. Pisarev notes that the author\u27s attitude leads to reflection precisely because everything is permeated with the most complete and most touching sincerity (Pisarev 186)

    Get PDF
    Manuscript 480, conserved at the National Library of Malta, consists of a series of logbooks in French kept by the knight lean-Franrcois de Villages. In the five voyages undertaken, he progresses from a novice-knight to an experienced traveller at the service of the king of France. Particularly during his second and third voyages, Villages gives concise but captivating descriptions of the places of interest visited such as Naples and Florence, together with an artistic appreciation of paintings and artefacts that strike him most. This curious traveller who does not disdain adventure is particularly attracted by the theatre and museums, whose impressions he would like to pass on to posterity. Through his writings, Villages, a French gentleman par excellence, offers the contemporary reader a faithful glimpse of the eighteenth-century culture and mentality.peer-reviewe
