However, Jamie Camplin and Maria Ranauro are breathing new life into this notion with their recent publication,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/thamesandhudson.com\/books-do-furnish-a-painting-9780500252253\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Books Do Furnish a Painting<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In a vast project, containing a veritable gallery of one hundred and sixty-five illustrations which take the reader on a comprehensive tour of the past five hundred years of painting, Camplin and Ranauro explore the dynamic relationship that exists between the written word and visual art. Specifically, the two authors consider the depiction of books in famous paintings.<\/p>\n<p>What, at its most fundamental level, is the book? What is its function in our daily lives and in the wider world? And why is it an important artistic object, or indeed an object for the artist\u2019s eye? These are the questions that frame Camplin and Ranauro\u2019s discussion of the painted book. The book as an object is considered from varying yet converging perspectives: as a religious symbol, as a domestic and homely object, as a figure for cosmopolitanism and world-wisdom, and finally as an emblem of refined knowledge, learning and cultural sophistication.<\/p>\n<p>Medieval and Renaissance painters like Fra Angelico, Hugo van der Goes, Raphael, Sandro Botticelli and Albrecht D\u00fcrer, later artists such as Johannes Vermeer and Rembrandt, and even twentieth-century artists like Marc Chagall, Andr\u00e9 Derain and Stanley Spencer have all depicted scripture and religious texts in their pictures to show the sacred wisdom and devotional learning of their painted subjects. Reading, before anything else, was a holy act, initially reserved for the literate few \u2013 scholars and intellectuals, priests, monks and members of the nobility. To depict a religious text in a painting was therefore to present a visual emblem of the word of God.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/bottdurer-e1538649610508.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-55235\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/bottdurer-1024x488.jpg?resize=580%2C276\" alt=\"bottdurer\" width=\"580\" height=\"276\" \/><\/a><strong>Albrecht D\u00fcrer,\u00a0<em>The Four Apostles<\/em> (1526); Sandro Botticelli,\u00a0<em>The Madonna of the Book<\/em> (1483)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The domestic reader \u2013 a role that many of us fulfil today when we open a paperback in the comfort of an armchair or wrapped up in a duvet \u2013 came into being with the development of the Gutenberg printing press whereby books could be mass-produced and commercially distributed for widespread public readership. In paintings by Jean-Etienne Liotard, Pietro Rotari and Robert Braithwaite Martineau we see young women displayed in the private, contemplative act of enjoying a good book.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/frenzy1-e1538650758177.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-55243\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/frenzy1-1024x420.jpg?resize=580%2C238\" alt=\"frenzy\" width=\"580\" height=\"238\" \/><\/a><strong>Jean-Etienne Liotard, <em>Lady in Turkish Costume Reading\u00a0<\/em>(1752);\u00a0Bernard D&#8217;Agesci,\u00a0<em>Lady Reading<\/em>\u00a0(1780)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not all artists treated the subject of women and books with this kind of tenderness however: after J. D. T. de Bienville&#8217;s suggestion in 1771 that reading could lead to mania and hysteria in women, depictions by Bernard d&#8217;Agesci and Antoine Wiertz show the female reader in the throes of a frenzy. Such paintings belie a patriarchal paranoia about the corrupting influence of literature on impressionable young women but, thankfully, later artists come to celebrate the presence of the book in domestic life. Sir John Lavery, Vanessa Bell, Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso all portray the \u2018woman with book\u2019 as the very image of the intelligent, educated, modern female sensibility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Doc5-e1538650103578.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-55240\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Doc5-1024x630.jpg?resize=580%2C356\" alt=\"Doc5\" width=\"580\" height=\"356\" \/><\/a><strong>Pierre Bonnard,\u00a0<em>La Lecture<\/em> (1905)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reading can take place anywhere: in the home, on the train (that\u2019s you, commuters), aboard a plane, on a park bench, by the sea. Joe Wright of Derby, Arthur Devis, Pompeo Batoni and Luca Carlevarijs all paint aristocratic young men and families who have brought the book as a tool and symbol of education out into the world on their travels. Later, in paintings by Gustave Courbet, Edouard Manet, Augustus John, Winslow Homer and Sir John Lavery, we see books being read by sprawled figures in country scenes, and in works by Edvard Munch, Guy P\u00e8ne du Bois and Edward Hopper, the book is seen as a transitional, versatile object, enjoyed in public spaces like the bar, the city square, the diner and even the brothel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/manet-courbet-e1538651723145.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-55247\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/manet-courbet-1024x317.jpg?resize=580%2C179\" alt=\"manet courbet\" width=\"580\" height=\"179\" \/><\/a><strong>Gustave Courbet,\u00a0<em>A Young Woman Reading<\/em> (1868); Edouard Manet,\u00a0<em>On The Beach<\/em> (1876)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/winslow-e1538651885993.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-55249\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/winslow-1024x355.jpg?resize=580%2C201\" alt=\"winslow\" width=\"580\" height=\"201\" \/><\/a><strong>Winslow Homer,\u00a0<em>The New Novel<\/em> (1877)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the book is an enduring symbol of knowledge: the presence of academic and educational texts in works by Arcimboldo, Jan Davidsz de Heem, Ludivico Carracci, Caspar Kenckel, Vermeer and Jonathan Richardson represents\u00a0the breadth of human learning, of man\u2019s desire to know about the world.
