Description: The Neapolitan Cr�che at the Art Institute of Chicago [Hardcover] Bellenger, Sylvain; Romano, Carmine; Muti, Riccardo and Rosenberg, Jesse Product Overview The 18th-century Neapolitan crèche at the Art Institute of Chicago, which
contains over 200 figures arranged in a panorama of street life, represents
the pinnacle of a rich artistic heritage. This luxurious catalogue is the
first to study the crèche in the context of art and music history. Essays
explore the Neapolitan crèche tradition and examine the design of Chicago’s
example with reference to other important crèches in Europe and the United
States. Entries on individual figures identify the characters and types they
represent, as well as their social and historical meaning and religious
significance. Other entries address groups of figures, animals, and cultural
themes present in the crèche. Together the essays and entries highlight the
astonishing realism and potent symbolism of these figures, which range from
heavenly angels and the Holy Family around the manger to street vendors and
revelers feasting, drinking, and dancing in a tavern. Distributed for the Art
