The Benin Plaques: A 16th Century Imperial Monument de Kathryn Wysocki Gunsch

The Benin Plaques: A 16th Century Imperial Monument: Routledge Research in Art History

Autor Kathryn Wysocki Gunsch
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 ian 2020
The 16th century bronze plaques from the kingdom of Benin are among the most recognized masterpieces of African art, and yet many details of their commission and installation in the palace in Benin City, Nigeria, are little understood. The Benin Plaques, A 16th Century Imperial Monument is a detailed analysis of a corpus of nearly 850 bronze plaques that were installed in the court of the Benin kingdom at the moment of its greatest political power and geographic reach. By examining European accounts, Benin oral histories, and the physical evidence of the extant plaques, Gunsch is the first to propose an installation pattern for the series.
