IN THE TIME OF ART
Masterpieces from the 16th to the 21st century

Masterpieces from the 16th to the 21st century presents a journey through five centuries of history. This cared-for edition contains two theoretical texts and a body of more than 100 illustrations that document the passage of time with amazing reproductions.

Giacinto Di Pietrantonio’s text is a reflection on the contemporary perspective on art history, with an emphasis placed on current textual forms that propose fresh readings, not only of the images themselves but also of the essays that analyze them. 

Also included is a chapter from Georges Didi-Huberman, The history of art as anachronistic discipline, from the book In front of time. This piece, graciously provided by the Adriana Hidalgo Editorial, examines the profound linkages between art and time.  

A prominent section, containing reproductions of all 107 works from the exhibition, adds to the publication a journey through the centuries and across the subjects proposed by the Curator: Power – Quotidian / Love – Hate / Life – Death / Body – Mind.   

Each reproduced work is accompanied by an instructive commentary that provides information about the piece’s place in history and generally enriches our experience as viewers.  

This edition is thus proposed as a profound and novel reading of the ways that art from different periods has represented the most important and transcendental issues of man, establishing similarities and differences, while also significantly leaving its mark on the pathways of our culture.
