Blindness

This is a remarkable study of how Western culture has represented blindness, especially in that most visual of arts, painting. Moshe Barasch draws upon not only the span of art history from antiquity to the eighteenth century but also the classical and biblical traditions that underpin so much of artistic representation: Blind Homer, the healing of the blind, blind musicians, blindness as punishment, blindness as a special mark. The book discusses blindness in antiquity, in the Early Christian world, in the Middle Ages, and in the Renaissance, with a final consideration of Diderot.

Blindness: The History of a Mental Image in Western Thought

A study of gestures in Giotto's paintings, of their function in his art and the sources from which they are derived. Giotto depicted gestures to express emotions, and to show the character of figures and situations, and his consistency in their use shows that he was aware of their symbolic nature.
