غوديا السومري: اختراع فن البورتريه في تاريخ الفن/ شاكر لعيبي

Title translation: Gudea the Sumerian: The Invention of Portrait Art in Art History. Shaker Laibi "This book offers a fresh reading of art history, going beyond the prevailing Western narrative that traces the emergence of portraiture (the depiction of real individuals) back to the European Renaissance. The author argues that the origins of portraiture go back much further, to ancient Mesopotamia, specifically through the statues of the Sumerian ruler Gudea. This book offers a revisionist reading of art history, challenging the dominant Western narrative that portraiture (the depiction of real individuals) emerged during the European Renaissance. Instead, the author argues that the origins of portrait art can be traced back much earlier—to ancient Mesopotamia, specifically through the statues of the Sumerian ruler Gudea (غوديا).Title translation: Gudea the Sumerian: The Invention of Portrait Art in Art History.

يقدم هذا الكتاب قراءةً جديدةً لتاريخ الفن، متجاوزًا الرواية الغربية السائدة التي تُرجع ظهور فن البورتريه (تصوير الأفراد الحقيقيين) إلى عصر النهضة الأوروبية. ويجادل المؤلف بأن أصول فن البورتريه تعود إلى زمنٍ أقدم بكثير، إلى بلاد ما بين النهرين القديمة، وتحديدًا من خلال تماثيل الحاكم السومري جوديا.
