Description

Explore the evolution of how Western culture views blindness through this remarkable study by Moshe Barasch. This book examines the representation of blindness in painting and other visual arts, tracing its development from antiquity through the eighteenth century. By examining the classical and biblical traditions that shape artistic expression, the text provides context for iconic figures and themes. You will learn about the cultural significance of Blind Homer, the depiction of the healing of the blind, the role of blind musicians, and how blindness has been portrayed as both a punishment and a special mark. This work provides a historical journey through various eras, including the Early Christian world, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance. It concludes with a look at the ideas of Diderot, making it a valuable resource for those interested in art history and the development of Western thought.
