Antoine Favray (1706-1798)
Author: Stephen Degiorgio
Publisher: Midsea Books
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
This book is a long-awaited comprehensive monograph on the artist, whose importance had already been established through numerous articles and past exhibitions. The two authors examined hundreds of works by Favray (and others attributed to him), both in Malta and overseas, and a vast number of these are reproduced in this book. The first four chapters of the book feature Favrays transition from Paris to Rome, his first Maltese stay, his Turkish Adventure, and his second Maltese sojourn respectively. Chapter 5 is devoted to his drawings, whilst in Chapter 6 his Followers and Discredits are discussed. The two authors join forces in bringing us this meticulously researched and excellently presented book, with Fiorentino being primarily responsible for the critical appraisal of Favrays oeuvre, and Degiorgio bringing to the fore his archival expertise and a large number of unpublished references. Stephen Degiorgio is a teacher and researcher, and for the last 25 years has researched the Archives of the Order of St. John held at the National Library of Malta. He has published monographs related to Maltese history in Monuments and The Malta Independent. Emmanuel Fiorentino is an art historian and critic. Since 1975 he has been the regular art critic for The Sunday Times of Malta, and has published numerous art related articles in local books and periodicals. In 1998 he organised the exhibition of drawings by Favray held at St. James Cavalier.

Islands and Military Orders, c.1291-c.1798
Author: Dr Emanuel Buttigieg
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 1472420950
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 439
Book Description
At the heart of this volume is a concern with exploring levels of interaction between two particular objects of study, islands on the one hand, and military orders on the other. According to Fernand Braudel, islands are, ‘often brutally’, caught ‘between the two opposite poles of archaism and innovation.’ What happened when these particular environments interacted with the Military Orders? The various contributions in this volume address this question from a variety of angles. 1291 was a significant year for the main military orders: uprooted from their foundations in the Holy Land, they took refuge on Cyprus and in the following years found themselves vulnerable to those who questioned the validity of their continued existence. The Teutonic Order negated this by successfully transferring their headquarters to Prussia; the Knights Templar, however, faced suppression. Meanwhile, the Knights Hospitaller conquest of Rhodes assured both their survival and independence. Islands are often, by definition, seen to be embodiments of 'insularity', of an effort to be separate, distinct, cut-off. Military Orders are, conversely, international in scope, nature and personnel, the 'first international orders of the Church', as they have often been described. Therein lies the crux of the matter: how did insular outposts and international institutions come together to forge distinct and often successful experiments? Hospitaller Rhodes and Malta still impress with their magnificent architectural heritage, but their success went beyond stone and mortar and the story of islands and military orders, as will be clearly shown in this volume, also goes beyond these two small islands. The interaction between the two levels - insulation and internationalisation - and the interstices therein, created spaces conducive to both dynamism and stability as military orders and islands adapted to each other's demands, limitations and opportunities.
