"This volume comprises a full and detailed catalogue of drawings by and after Michelangelo in the Ashmolean Museum. The Ashmolean possesses the third largest collection in the world of drawings by Michelangelo - after the Casa Buonarroti and the British Museum - and a rich group of drawings by Michelangelo's pupils and close associates, as well as a number of contemporary copies after drawings by the master that have subsequently been lost. It also houses a significant number of copies, the majority of the sixteenth century, after Michelangelo's works in all media, that shed light on his reputation and influence among his contemporaries and immediate successors."--Jacket

Raphael : the drawings by Catherine Whistler( Book )

8 editions published in 2017 in English and held by 236 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

The selection of drawings demonstrates how Raphael created a specific mode of visual invention and persuasive communication through drawing. He used drawing both as conceptual art (including brainstorming sheets) and as a practice based on attentive observation (such as drawing from the posed model). Yet Raphael's drawings also reveal how the process of drawing in itself, with its gestural rhythms and spontaneity, can be a form of thought, generating new ideas. The Oxford exhibition will present drawings that span Raphael's entire career, encompassing many of his major projects and exploring his visual language from inventive ideas to full compositions. The extraordinary range of drawings by Raphael in the Ashmolean and the Albertina, enhanced by appropriate loans, will enable this exhibition to cast new light on this familiar artist, transforming our understanding of Raphael's art

Sargonic texts in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford by I. J Gelb( Book )

7 editions published in 1970 in English and held by 231 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

This volume presents transliterations of texts in the Ashmolean Museum, most of which are from Kish and Umm-el-Jir, near Kish. A few texts of unknown origin have also been included. The majority of these tablets are standard administrative texts such as are found in other great collections of Sargonic texts from Gasur, the Diyala region, Lagash, and Susa. A small but important group of texts consists of contracts or memos concerning contractual agreements. Other types of texts are also represented, including letters, orders, school exercises, and one incantation. This is the first collection of Sargonic texts from northern Babylonia. One of the most important contributions of the Kish and Umm-el-Jir texts is the light they shed on the geography and ethno-linguistic background of Babylonia; forty geographic names are mentioned, the most common being Mugdan, which may represent the ancient name of Umm-el-Jir. Indices of proper names and a catalogue of texts are included. One hundred and thirteen tablets are presented in photographic reproduction

Turner's Oxford by Colin Harrison( Book )

5 editions published in 2000 in English and held by 219 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Throughout his life, J.M.W. Turner was fascinated by Oxford, 'the English Athens'. Indeed, no other place in England so consistently engaged his attention over so long a period, from the beginning of his career until the late 1830s. This book brings together for the first time all his views of the city, and discusses the circumstances surrounding the genesis of these works. They range from watercolours done by the teenage artist while staying with relations at the nearby village of Sunningwell, in Berkshire; numerous drawings and watercolours of the 1790s made for collectors and for private pleasure and instruction; ten watercolours commissioned for the Oxford Almanack between 1799 and 1804; two oil paintings for the Oxford dealer, James Wyatt in 1809-12; and the preparatory works and finished watercolours for several projects in the 1820s and 1830s, when Turner was at the height of his powers."--Jacket
