Pagan Mysteries in the Renaissance
By Edgar Wind
Published by Faber and Faber, London, 1958. First Edition. Hardback, blue cloth, gilt titles, 230 pages plus 77 b&w plates to the rear of the book.
CONDITION
A very good clean copy throughout. Samll neat inscription to front endpaper. Pages clean throughout. Overall very good.
Themes of pagan mysticism and Neoplatonic philosophy are often to be found in the great Renaissance paintings, and in the poetry and other art of the period as well. The author's exploration of these themes was acclaimed when it first appeared, for its impeccable scholarship and its subtle explanation of the imagery of masterpieces by Botticelli, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian and others. This edition includes an extensive revision of the text and several new appendices and plates to illustrate the author's argument.
