In \u003ci\u003eRibera's Repetitions\u003c\/i\u003e, art historian Todd P. Olson sheds new light on the complexity of Ribera's artwork and artistic methods and their connections to the Spanish imperial project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing from a diverse range of sources, including poetry, literature, natural history, philosophy, and political history, Olson presents Ribera's work in a broad context. He examines how Ribera's techniques, including rotation, material decay (through etching), and repetition, influenced the artist's drawings and paintings. Many of Ribera's works featured scenes of physical suffering--from Saint Jerome's corroded skin and the flayed bodies of Saint Bartholomew and Marsyas to the ragged beggar-philosophers and the eviscerated Tityus. But far from being the result of an individual sadistic predilection, Olson argues, Ribera's art was inflected by the legacies of the Reconquest of Spain and Neapolitan coloniality. Ribera's material processes and themes were not hermetically sealed in the studio; rather, they were engaged in the global Spanish Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePathbreaking and deeply interdisciplinary, this copiously illustrated book offers art history students and scholars a means to see Ribera's art anew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTodd P.
