Print: $13.60

In the course of history, Italian sculptors have "sculpted" in their works diverse interpretations of the Bible, Greek mythology and current events. This book illustrates the creative means artists, from Donatello to Canova, used to interpret freely the various texts and episodes, claiming the supreme liberty of art. Guy Shaked studied art and music at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In 1999 he received an Italian government grant to expand his research in Italian sculpture in Rome. Some of his recent studies have won international acclaim.

This book is the first attempt to demonstrate that a deep, serious philosophical meaning underlies the immediate, light surface of Immanuel's poetry. An Epicurean, Immanuel lashed out against the most advanced and venerated religious ideas of his time: Christianity as expressed by Dante and the Judaism of Maimonides.
