It is collective and individual research for perspicacity and the origins of religion, mythology, and personal self-identity. Alchemy is at once a symbolic consciousness of substantial forms and a symbolic utterance of the spiritual and psychological transformations of the spirit, became a connection between wisdom and art. The artist has been given the possibility of integrating his outward and inward creation, his subject matter and his creative activity. Painting and other visual arts are one intent example of communication between physical and psychological world, and other is alchemy. If we look back at the whole art history existence, the appearance of art and artist, just like alchemist, seems a curious phenomenon indeed, an ethereal secret that cannot easily be explained in terms of contemporary lexicon that we may real understand. While the thrust of this study is directed at elucidating the history of alchemy and system of symbols, every chapter includes explicable the form of symbols from the origin of traditions.

The theme was given new life in the mid-sixteenth century through the works of the Flemish painters Pieter Aertsen (1508–75) and Joachim Beuckelaer (ca. 1533–ca. 1574), who incorporated slaughtered and disemboweled animals in their vivid renderings of abundantly supplied market stalls, and also explored the theme as an independent motif.[1] The earliest instances of the motif in the Northern Netherlands come only in the seventeenth century, possibly introduced by immigrants from the south. During the early 1640s, the theme of the slaughtered animal—split, splayed, and Fig 1.

'9^3 THE LIBRARY BRIGHAM YOUWG UIN/IVERSIT^ PROVO, UTAH PREFACE THE present catalogue is a revised edition of the one which appeared in 1912 in my Rembrandt's Etchings, an Essay and a Catalogue, with some Notes on the Drawings. The Introduction is also composed to a large extent of material from the same volume, but revised and re-arranged with the definite object of providing such notes as would be of most use to the student and collector of Rembrandt's etchings (e.g. in the addition of a list of values). The volume of plates, to which a few subjects have been added since 1912, will no doubt be of service for purposes of identifica- tion, and will, I hope, appeal equally to the amateur or artist who merely wishes to be reminded of this incomparable series of subjects. For drawing my attention to new states or other details of description in the Catalogue, I would express acknowledgment to Jhr. Mr. J. F.

  • Kuzey Avrupa Resminde “Et Karkasi” Imgesi
    DOI: 10.7816/idil-04-16-03 idil, 2015, Cilt 4, Sayı 16, Volume 4, Issue 16 KUZEY AVRUPA RESMİNDE “ET KARKASI” İMGESİ Semih ÖZKAN 1 ÖZET “Et karkası” ya da “Ölü Öküz” betimi, özellikle Kuzey Avrupa resim sanatında sıklıkla karşımıza çıkan sembolik bir imgedir. Konu üzerinde ikonografik değerlendirmeler yapıldığında, Eski Ahit ve İbrani mitlerinde örneğini gördüğümüz bu sembolik imgenin kökeninin daha da eskiye uzandığını görmekteyiz. Hıristiyan sanatına baktığımızda benzer temanın devam ettiğini ve referansları eskiye dayanan bu imgenin bir kurban sembolü olarak değişim geçirdiğini, Hz. İsa’nın kendini insanların günahları için kurban etmesinin görsel karşılığı olarak kullanıldığını görmekteyiz. İsa’nın ölüm biçimi çarmıha gerilme şeklinde olduğu için, kurban edilmiş boğanın öldürüldükten sonra bir karkasa gerilmesiyle ortaya çıkan biçim ile ikisi arasındaki sembolik anlamda bir görsel özdeşlik kurulmuştur. 16. Yüzyıla kadarki örneklerinde, İncil’den alınmış konuları resmeden sahnelerde, kompozisyonun içinde bir unsur olarak yer alırken, 17. Yüzyıla doğru et karkası betiminin kompozisyonun ana öğesi haline geldiği örneklerle karşılaşılmaktadır. Bu makale kapsamında bu imgenin dinsel bir sembol olarak tarihsel süreçte resim sanatındaki ifade ediliş biçimleri, çeşitli örnekler üzerinde ele alınmıştır.
