‎"Infini est le nombre des fous" Eccl siaste, chapitre I, 15 Au commencement tait "l'insens ", pauvre fou d pourvu de sagesse qui se d tourne de Dieu. Rel gu dans les marges, il sort de la sph re religieuse au cours du Moyen ge pour s' panouir dans le monde profane et devenir tour tour celui qui divertit, met en garde, d nonce, inverse les valeurs, voire renverse l'ordre tabli. Reconnaissable ses attributs embl matiques - capuchon oreilles d' ne ou cr te de coq, grelots, clochettes, marotte, costume bariol -, cette figure volue au fil des si cles et s'incarne en de multiples avatars : fous de cour, fous d'amour ou bouffons envahissent alors tout l'espace artistique occidental. Du Moyen ge la Renaissance et jusqu' l' poque moderne, un parcours exceptionnel dans l'art de l'Europe du Nord r unit ici pr s de 350 oeuvres aussi diverses que les personnages qu'elles mettent en sc ne : manuscrits enlumin s, livres imprim s, gravures, tapisseries, sculptures, objets pr cieux ou du quotidien et peintures d'illustres artistes, tels que Bosch, Bruegel, G ricault, Courbet... Sous le regard expert des plus grands sp cialistes, cet ouvrage nous invite r fl chir ce que la norme conserve comme ce qu'elle rejette. Il propose de reconsid rer quelques articulations majeures de l'histoire et de l'histoire de l'art, l'aune de cette figure qui cristallise les inqui tudes et les passions. Une plong e dans un monde de folie qui nous renvoie nous-m mes et notre rapport l'Autre.‎

‎Magnification and Miniaturization in Religious Communications in Antiquity and Modernity. Materialities and Meanings‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, xiv + 230 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:47 b/w, 72 col., 3 maps b/w, 1 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503604794.‎

‎Summary Human agents might not be the measure of all things. Nonetheless, human bodies, and their bodily dimensions, often are, with size impacting on the ways in which we conceive of, interact with, and relate to the world around us. The scaling up or down of features ? magnification and miniaturization ? is particularly evident in the creation of anthropogenic items intended for use in religious ritual, and here sizing can be employed as a deliberate strategy to encourage shock and awe, admiration and deterrence, among spectators. Taking as its starting point the concept of 'materialities and meanings', this volume explores how human perceptions and understanding of magnified and miniaturized forms and structures are shaped and changed, both synchronically and diachronically, by our understanding of the human body and its size, and the impact that this has in our relationship with the wider world in the context of ritual practices. The chapters collected here consider a range of questions, from a discussion on the essentials of magnification or miniaturization to an exploration of the impact of such strategies on humans and their wider socio-political ramifications. Together, these chapters contribute to a unique discussion that offers new insights into 'materialities and meanings', the creation of items for ritual, and the ways in which they influence human perception and understanding.

‎Helden in harnas. gedrukte ridderverhalen uit de vijftiende en zestiende eeuw‎

‎, Sterck & De Vreese, 2021 Paperback,128 pp Illustrated. tekst Nederlands. ISBN 9789056157951.‎

‎Elisabeth de Bruijn, Marie-Charlotte Le Bailly, Steven Van Impe (red.) Ridders roepen bij jong en oud beelden op van heldhaftige avonturen, zwaardgevechten, magi rs, draken en hoofse liefde. Niet alle ridderverhalen zijn bewaard gebleven. Terwijl Karel ende Elegast terechtkwam in de literaire canon, verdwenen de verhalen over de vrouw met de vissenstaart Melusine, Helias de Zwaanridder of ridder Parijs en de mooie Vienna. De auteurs gaan op zoek naar die fascinatie voor de helden in harnas. De opkomst van de boekdrukkunst in de vijftiende en zestiende eeuw veranderde veel. Middeleeuwse verhalen werden gecommercialiseerd, aangepast en internationaal verspreid. De gebruikte verteltechnieken doen denken aan de verhaallijnen van soapseries en droegen bij aan het succes van ridderverhalen.// Elisabeth de Bruijn, Marie-Charlotte Le Bailly, Steven Van Impe (eds.) Knights evoke images of heroic adventures, sword fights, magicians, dragons and courtly love in young and old. Not all knight's stories have survived. While Karel ende Elegast ended up in the literary canon, the stories about the fish-tailed woman Melusine, Helias the Swan knight or knight Paris and the beautiful Vienna disappeared. The authors go in search of that fascination for the heroes in armor. The rise of the printing press in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries changed a lot. Medieval stories were commercialized, adapted and distributed internationally. The storytelling techniques used are reminiscent of the storylines of soap operas and contributed to the success of chivalric stories.‎

‎Radiography and Painting‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 2 vols, xviii + 567 pages, Size:240 x 340 mm, Illustrations:76 b/w, 272 col., 5 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503554549.‎

‎Radiography is a technique that has been employed in the study of paintings for more than a century. The history of this method of analysis indicates that its development has been modest since the 1960s, as its use has been limited to reductive approaches that take into account no more than the immediately intelligible signs. By systematically considering the physical mechanisms involved in the creation of an image, this volume seeks to demonstrate that we can access new fields of radiological analysis by identifying two categories of 'signs': those that may be obvious but whose meaning is misleading, and those which are not immediately comprehensible. This study has been primarily based on a thorough and essential reviewing of current literature concerning the materials and processes used for the making of paintings. The semiological analysis is based on the understanding of the physical phenomena occurring in the formation of the image, and on correlations between the radiographic images of a painting and the information stemming from its observation, other scientific results, and the restoration reports. Furthermore, a number of experiments were conducted to consolidate certain assumptions regarding image-formation mechanisms. Ultimately, this book hopes to show how data resulting from radiographic analysis can be seen and set in a broader context of information on a specific work or a group of works, in order to enrich our knowledge of art history, history of technology, and conservation as well as restoration. La radiographie est une technique appliqu e aux peintures depuis pr s d'un si cle. L'histoire de cette technique d'analyse montre que son d veloppement s'est trouv limit depuis les ann es 1960 en raison d'une approche uniquement bas e sur la prise en compte de signes imm diatement suggestifs. Or ce mode d'analyse ne permet pas d'expliquer l'ensemble des images observ es sur une radiographie de peinture. En consid rant de mani re syst matique le m canisme de formation de l'image, ce travail souhaite d montrer que l'on peut acc der de nouveaux champs de l'analyse radiologique en identifiant deux autres cat gories de signes: les signes suggestifs mais dont la signification est trompeuse et les signes non imm diatement intelligibles. Cette analyse a t possible gr ce une revue de la litt rature la plus compl te possible sur les mat riaux constitutifs et les proc d s employ s pour la r alisation des peintures. L'analyse s miologique est bas e sur la compr hension des ph nom nes physiques en jeu dans la formation de l'image et sur des corr lations entre les images observ es et les informations provenant de l'observation, d'autres examens r alis s sur l'oeuvre ou encore de rapports de restauration. De plus une exp rimentation a t conduite pour conforter certaines hypoth ses de m canisme de formation de l'image. Enfin, les donn es issues de la radiographie peuvent tre replac es dans un contexte plus large de donn es ou informations connues sur une ?uvre ou groupe d'oeuvres pour enrichir nos connaissances en histoire de l'art, histoire des techniques et conservation-restauration.

It is an invitation to follow different lines that are directed east ? east of Kassel, east of Busan, east of Seattle, east of London. The lines are drawn over continents and oceans, against the Earth?s own movement we unconsciously witness with each sunrise. Within the traces of these lines, static objects are put back into motion and they are made to leave their recommended positions of meaning. The publication brings together three groups of works, developed over different periods of time between 1999 and 2018, exploring the artist?s recurring interest in these topics. the horse ? a story that starts 10 year after the fall of the Iron Curtain, Silent Sisters?/?Stille Schwestern together with a series of drawings and installations that were conceived in response to DICTEE ? a text written by the Korean-American artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and On Some of the Birds of Nepal (Parting the Animal Kingdom of the East) ? an installation that Hinrichs created in the context of the first Kathmandu Triennale 2017.

‎One remarkable feature of European culture as it developed in the Renaissance was the accommodation it made with ancient paganism. The classical gods and their legends were allegorised, transformed into symbolic figures or emblematic scenes that might accord with Christian morality. At the same time there emerged a new, secular, genre of art devoted to the depiction of the most popular myths, above all the love stories recounted by the ancient poets. These stories were not only attractive in themselves; they offered the opportunity to depict nude figures in narrative action, which the example of antiquity held forth as the highest goal for painting. Rubens was one of the greatest creators of classical allegory; he was also a supreme interpreter of the classical stories. No painter was so at home in the literature of the Greeks and Romans. When he painted for pleasure, which, increasingly in the course of his life, he felt able to do, he used pagan myth to express and celebrate themes of love, beauty and the creative forces of nature, often in wonderfully idiosyncratic ways. Still, as a Christian committed to the ideals of the Catholic Reformation, Rubens respected the restrictions generally placed on the depiction of pagan tales. Most of his mythological paintings were made for private settings, for display within houses (including his own) or in the galleries of princes, noblemen and prelates. It is a happy accident of history that so many of these splendid paintings are now widely visible in the great museums of the world.

‎Pontormo at San Lorenzo. The Making and Meaning of a Lost Renaissance Masterpiece‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2022 Hardback, 384 pages, Size:225 x 300 mm, Illustrations:58 b/w, 90 col., 2 tables b/w., Language(s):English, Italian. ISBN 9781909400948.‎

‎Summary Pontormo's frescoes in San Lorenzo were the most important cycle of the sixteenth century after Michelangelo's Sistine frescoes.? They had an enormous impact on artists until their destruction in the eighteenth century, and their interpretation has also had a significant bearing not only on the reception of this artist, but also of late Renaissance art in Florence. Based on archival and historical research, this book determines a new date for the inception of the fresco cycle and reconstructs the day-by-day activity in the church that had an impact on Pontormo's project. ?It reveals Pontormo's painstaking working method. The new reconstruction corrects the visual order of the frescoed scenes, and conclusively demonstrates the orthodoxy of the choir's iconography.? It sets them into the artistic and architectural context of the church of San Lorenzo, relating them to works of art by Fra Bartolomeo and Michelangelo, as well as to complex liturgical and religious functions.? This study establishes the intentions of the Medici and the canons of the church in having Pontormo paint the specific space in the church where he painted, and the specific subjects that were included.? Finally, it reveals the unsuspected impact Pontormo's paintings had on other works of art. TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION: The introduction explains the history and historiography of both Pontormo in general and this commission in particular. CHAPTER 1: LIFE AND DEATH IN THE CHOIR Can we re-imagine the day-to-day progress of the commission? Beginning with a re-dating of the project, I shall trace the practical realities of daily painting in the choir, the comings and goings of artists and people: the ?world? of the choir will be explored. The frequent trope of Pontormo as an isolated loner and painfully slow artist will be disproved. The close supervision of the major stakeholders for the project, the Duke and the church, will be demonstrated. CHAPTER 2: REVERSALS OF FORTUNE My discovery that Pontormo reversed his preliminary sketches when they were scaled up into full-scale cartoons has demonstrated that several of the extant drawings used to reconstruct the choir must be inverted. Adjusting the reconstruction to take this into account resolves issues of visual, thematic, and iconographic coherence which have perplexed scholars. Essential elements in my new reconstruction reveal new and unexpected functions and meanings for Pontormo's paintings. These functions and iconographical connections place the lost paintings in a new light in relation to the fabric of the church of San Lorenzo. CHAPTER 3: LAWRENCE'S ACTS and CHAPTER 4: CYCLES OF SALVATION In these two sections I explain the significance of the frescoes. The first chapter focuses on the end wall, which was the public view of the choir and on which Pontormo's painting of Saint Lawrence provided a personal message of salvation to viewers. The second of these two chapters explains the entire set of images. This is the first time a seamlessly cohesive and inclusive interpretation of the cycle has been found. The new textual associations supplied in these chapters establishe that far from being of questionable orthodoxy, Pontormo's frescoes were a brilliant encapsulation of the functions of the choir. CHAPTER 5: THEN AND NOW: PONTORMO'S PLACE IN HISTORY Vasari's comments about the San Lorenzo commission in the Life of Pontormo created a negative view. This chapter corrects that, and replaces it with an appreciation of the gigantic task he confronted, the brilliance of his solutions, and the positive reception he and his paintings received.‎

‎Typical Venice? The Art of Commodities 13th-16th Centuries. ,‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller 2020, 2020 Hardcover, . iv + 268 p., 70 col. ills , 220 x 280 mm, English, FINE ISBN 9781912554300.‎

‎What is the art of commodities, and how does it contribute to shaping a city? The case of Venice, which perhaps more than any other late medieval or early modern city depended on trade, offers some widely applicable considerations in response to these questions. Commodities exist as such only when they can be bought and sold. Select materials, techniques and tools, motifs, and working processes are entailed in the conception and realization of commodities, with the aim of producing and selling in numbers. The art of commodities is an art of anticipation and organization, as complex as the material, social, and symbolic situations it results from, deals with, and contributes to shaping. In turn, an analysis of commodities allows for profound insights in these situations. The art of commodities ultimately presents specific challenges, solutions, and styles; it is an art of objects, as well as an art of cities and societies. In Venice, commodities did much more than circulate throughout the Lagoon: the city was made of them. The studies in this book consider the Serenissima?s diverse commodities, merchants, and routes from multiple perspectives. Ella Beaucamp is a doctoral candidate at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit t M nchen, where she developed her dissertation topic within the research group ?Premodern Objects. An Archaeology of Experience?, led by Philippe Cordez. She studies the high medieval stone reliefs of Venetian house facades, relating them to the larger context of Mediterranean trade and artistic production. The Centro Tedesco di Studi Veneziani, the Gerda Henkel Stiftung, and the Max Weber Foundation ? German Humanities Institutes Abroad have supported her work. For her master?s thesis she was the recipient of the Heinrich W lfflin Prize from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit t M nchen. Philippe Cordez is Deputy Director of the German Center for Art History in Paris. His research and teaching deal with medieval art history and more generally with object studies in art history. This work has been supported by the cole des Hautes tudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris, the Universit t Hamburg, the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz ? Max-Planck-Institut, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit t M nchen, the Universit de Montr al, and the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Williamstown. His book Treasure, Memory, Nature: Church Objects in the Middle Ages, translated from French and awarded the Prize of the German Medievalists? Society (Medi vistenverband e.V.), is available at Harvey Miller Publishers.‎
