Dr Jean Michel Massing is a Reader in the
History of Art and a Fellow of King's College, Cambridge.
The first volume of Studies in Imagery, Text and Images, consists of 25 "studies
grouped under four sections: Classical Art and its Nachleben; Symbolic Languages;
Saints and Devils; Comets, Dreams and Stars. The topics include the Celto-Roman
"goddess Epona, the Calumny of Apelles and its reconstructions, the Triumph
of Caesar, proverb illustration, the art of memory, emblematic and didactic
imagery, the temptations of St Anthony, as well as dreams and celestial phenomena.
They span a wide range of periods, from classical antiquity to the nineteenth
century.
Vol. 2, The World Discovered, deals variously
with the relationship of European with non-European cultures, cartography
in medieval and early modern times, the representation of foreign lands and
people, and the collecting of exotic artefacts. A central theme involves the
imagery of black Africans from the Middle Ages up to the nineteenth century.
