‎Relié, Jaquette : Très Bon, 25 x 25 cm, 248 pp., Anglais, 1ère Édition, Illustrations, état du livre : Très Bon Le cabinet d'architecture belge Conix a été fondé en 1979 et, en près de trois décennies sous la direction de Christine Conix, de l'architecte Sylvie Bruyninckx et de la designer d'intérieur An Steylaerts, a grandi pour atteindre un effectif de 55 personnes. Aucun autre cabinet n'est aussi largement représenté le long des quais d'Anvers, mais cet accomplissement ne reflète pas la diversité exceptionnelle de leurs projets, tant résidentiels que commerciaux. Ces dernières années, Conix a reçu beaucoup d'attention internationale pour un projet en particulier : la rénovation récemment achevée du monument de design du milieu du siècle, l'Atomium, à Bruxelles, une réplique d'un atome qui mesure plus de 300 pieds de haut, avec un espace différent dans chaque sphère de 60 pieds, allant d'un musée pour enfants à un restaurant. ""Conix Architecten"" présente un design intérieur exceptionnellement épuré et les pages du livre sont même bordées d'argent. Avec une attention particulière portée à l'Atomium, il présente une sélection de projets récents remarquables en 200 illustrations. [Cette description peut avoir été traduite par une IA.]‎

‎Urban Literacy in the Nordic Middle Ages‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, xv + 465 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:46 b/w, 2 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503596747.‎

‎Summary This volume explores literacy in the medieval towns of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland, and aims to understand the extent to which these medieval urban centres constituted a driving force in the development of literacy in Nordic societies generally. As in other parts of Europe, two languages - Latin and the vernacular - were in use. However, the Nordic area is also characterised by its use of the runic alphabet, and thus two writing systems were also in use. Another characteristic of the North is its comparatively weak urbanization, especially in Finland, Sweden, and Norway. Literacy and the uses of writing in medieval towns of the North is approached from various angles of research, including history, archaeology, philology, and runology. The contributions cover topics related to urban literacy that include both case studies and general surveys of the dissemination of writing, all from a Northern perspective. The thematic chapters all present new sources and approaches that offer a new dimension both to the study of medieval urban literacy and also to Scandinavian studies.

‎Memory, Identity, and Governance in Early Modern Poland-Lithuania‎

‎, Brepols, 2025 Hardback, Pages: 528, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:17 b/w, 8 col., 5 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503619361.‎

‎Summary In the early modern period, Poland-Lithuania stood as a realm where the echoes of a storied past intertwined with the ambitions of a dynamic present. This volume illuminates how its diverse populace navigated the complexities of their shared heritage, weaving tradition with innovation to craft a uniquely multi-layered identity. The essays presented here examine the dual nature of historical inheritance in this vast polity. On the one hand, the past served as a treasure trove of enduring ideas, compelling narratives, and time-tested practices that enriched cultural and political life. On the other, it posed formidable challenges, requiring creative adaptation to meet the demands of changing times. By exploring established narratives, performative traditions, and historical frameworks, the contributors uncover the intricate ways in which memory influenced decision-making and societal evolution. They reveal how the past was neither static nor simply an obstacle, but was an active force that shaped contemporary aspirations and inspired visions of the future. Through the lenses of rulers, nobles, intellectuals, and commoners, this collection offers fresh perspectives on how the people of Poland-Lithuania harnessed the power of history to craft a legacy that transcended their era. Essential reading for scholars and enthusiasts alike, this work examines the enduring dialogue between memory and identity in one of Europe's most compelling early modern states.

‎De praktijk die de Belgische kunstenaar Maarten Vanden Eynde (geboren in 1977) heeft ontwikkeld, stoelt op wetenschappelijk onderzoek en verenigt diverse maatschappelijke, economische, ecologische en antropologische invalshoeken. Zijn oeuvre behandelt enkele van de belangwekkendste thema's van onze tijd, gaande van ongebreidelde bodemontginning en ecologie tot het kolonialisme en zijn nasleep. Het werk is opgevat als een alternatieve encyclopedie van de menselijke geschiedenis, een onderzoek naar onze invloed op Planeet Aarde. Het stelt een (post)industri le archeologie van de toekomst voor, een speculatieve vooruitblik op onze evolutieve sporen, en geeft een overzicht van de werken die Vanden Eynde in de loop van de twee laatste decennia heeft voortgebracht, waaronder Plastic Reef, een massieve sculptuur gemaakt van plastic afval dat de kunstenaar in alle oceanen van de wereld verzamelde. Katerina Gregos is kunsthistorica, tentoonstellingscommissaris en auteur. Aan de hand de werken van de voorbij twintig jaar, stelt dit werk aan de lezers de multidisciplinaire Belgische kunstenaar Maarten Vanden Eynde voor.‎

Bis zur osmanischen Eroberung war in Iznik die türkische Herrschaft immer nur von kurzer Dauer, selbst von der seldschukischen Periode haben wir nur für eine verhältnismäßig kurze Zeit sichere Kunde. Hier waren es die Byzantiner selbst, die den seldschukischen Truppen eine friedliche Einahme der Stadt ermöglichten. Etwa um 1078, also noch vor der Machtergreifung Alexis I.

Hierbij wordt voor elke nieuwe uitgave een beroep gedaan op kunsthistorici die gespecialiseerd zijn in het betreffende thema, en het verhaal op een boeiende en toegankelijke manier kunnen vertellen. Het eerste boekje uit de reeks verscheen naar aanleiding van de eerste focustentoonstelling in de Keizerskapel, waarbij het triptiekje van Sint-Lukas schildert de Madonna getoond werd. De tweede en derde uitgaven volgden snel, waarbij twee schilderijen besproken worden die vandaag te zien zijn in het nieuwe Snijders&Rockoxhuis in Antwerpen: Keukenstilleven met Christus in het huis van Marta en Maria door Frans Ykens (1601-1693) en Allegorie van de zeven vrije kunsten van Maerten de Vos (1532-1603). Het vierde boekje verscheen vervolgens naar aanleiding van VOSSEN. Expeditie door het land van Reynaert, en handelt ? u kon het al raden ? over Reynaert de vos.

‎Politics as painting‎

‎Tielt, Lannoo, 2016 Hardcover with dusjacket, 416 pages, 30 x 26 x 4 cm, English, Richly illustrated. ISBN 9789401432399.‎

‎Apart from a handful of art historians no sane person has ever heard of the Brussels painter Hendrick De Clerck (1560-1630). Nevertheless, De Clerck was a contemporary of Peter Paul Rubens and like Rubens he worked for the Archdukes Albert and Isabella. But while Rubens has gone down in history as an artistic trailblazer and painting powerhouse, Hendrick De Clerck has quietly faded into oblivion. Yet the subtly coded, vibrantly coloured pictures that De Clerck paints for Albert and Isabella are political propaganda of the highest order. In creating a mode of archducal representation that could help to gain an empire, the sky is quite literally the limit. De Clerck represents Isabella as wise Minerva, chaste Diana, the Virgin Mary. And that's nothing compared to her husband, for in De Clerck's paintings Albert is transformed into the sun god Apollo or even into Jesus Christ himself. Hendrick De Clerck's mastery of ingenious pictorial strategy made him a leading player in one of the most ambitious projects history has ever seen. For those who know how to read them, his paintings tell a story of power, political promises, and grandiose ambition. Most of all, they are supreme examples of image-building. For as the Archdukes were well aware, even as a monarch you're only as important as you make yourself.‎

‎Susanna and the Elders. MeToo in the Time of Hendrick De Clerck (c.1560-1630)‎

‎, Phoebus Focus XXX, 2023 Softcover, 152 pag. ENG, 21 x 14,8 cm, ill., Phoebus Focus XXX ENG ISBN 9789464666342.‎

‎The Brussels painter Hendrick De Clerck (c.1560-1630) was a celebrated artist in his day. He worked regularly for the Archdukes Albert and Isabella and those in their European network. De Clerck and his workshop also painted hundreds of pictures for the rest of the great and the good in the Spanish Netherlands, including moralizing biblical episodes such as the painting of Susanna and the Elders that is the subject of this edition of Phoebus Focus. Susanna?s story has been represented in the visual arts since the early centuries of Christianity. But its greatest popularity comes in the sixteenth century. Under the safe umbrella of a moralizing life lesson, it provides the perfect excuse for a spot of titillating nudity. Although Hendrick De Clerck covers Susanna with elegant yet suggestive drapery, she still reveals all in this edition of Phoebus Focus.‎

‎FROM MEMLING TO RUBENS The Golden Age of Flanders‎

‎, Hannibal, 2021 hardcover , 290 x 250 mm, 304 pages, ENG edition. ISBN 9789463887441.‎

‎Why did Hans Memling paint everything in such minute detail? How did Rubens, in just a few brushstrokes, create special effects that Steven Spielberg would envy? And why was the Southern Netherlands the artistic centre of the world for three centuries? From Memling to Rubens: The Golden Age of Flanders tells the story of Flemish art from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, as you've never read it before. It's a rollercoaster ride through 300 years of cultural history. Leading the charge are breathtaking masterpieces from the collection of The Phoebus Foundation, unknown gems by the likes of Hans Memling, Quinten Metsys, Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony Van Dyck that plunge you into a world full of folly and sin, fascination and ambition. Along the way you'll bump into dukes and emperors, rich citizens and poor saints, picture galleries like wine cellars, and Antwerp as Hollywood on the Scheldt. This is a stirring tale about the image and its meaning, and the link between culture and society. Above all, it's about us, and about who we are today - as people. Dr. Katharina Van Cauteren (b. 1981) heads the Chancellery of The Phoebus Foundation. Katharina is an art historian and has already curated numerous exhibitions from Belgium to India.‎

‎Blind Date Portretten met Blikken en Blozen‎

‎, Hannibal Books, 2020 HARDCOVER 290 x 250 mm, 288 pages, NL edition met prachtige illustraties in kleur. ISBN 9789463887397.‎

‎Mannen in statig zwart, vrouwen met molensteenkragen, kinderen met gouden rammelaars, oude besjes en zelfgenoegzame kunstenaars? Ze zijn de hoofdrolspelers op zowat ieder portret dat ooit werd geschilderd in de Zuidelijke Nederlanden. Van de vijftiende tot de zeventiende eeuw is het kleine lapje grond dat vandaag ?Vlaanderen? heet het economische en culturele, intellectuele en financi le hart van Europa. En geld moet rollen: iedereen die het zich kan veroorloven, investeert in een portret. Vandaag hebben de gekoesterde statussymbolen van weleer hun oorspronkelijke betekenis grotendeels verloren. Van functioneel en emotioneel transformeerden de portretten tot toegangspoortjes tot het verleden. Aan de hand van topstukken uit de collectie van The Phoebus Foundation schetst dit boek de brede context waarin ze tot stand kwamen. Het pelt de betekenislagen van de voorstellingen, als waren het rokken van een ui. Want of het nu gaat om een indrukwekkende Rubens of Van Dyck, of om een intiem portret door een vergeten kunstenaar: ooit waren de mensen op deze schilderijen van vlees en bloed. Ze hadden eigenaardigheden en verborgen agenda?s, ambities en hogere doelen. Soms zijn die hoogstpersoonlijk en hyperindividueel. Soms ligt er een laagje stof op, en zijn de dames en heren kinderen van hun tijd. Meestal echter, zijn hun dromen en pretenties verrassend tijdloos en ontnuchterend herkenbaar. Blind Date is een afspraak met de geschiedenis: een ontmoeting met geportretteerde mannen en vrouwen uit vervlogen eeuwen. Maar voor wie bereid is om goed te kijken, blijkt de grens tussen heden en verleden flinterdun. HET VERHAAL VAN DE VLAAMSE PORTRETKUNST VERTELD AAN DE HAND VAN TOPSTUKKEN UIT DE COLLECTIE VAN THE PHOEBUS FOUNDATION De gelijknamige tentoonstelling Blind Date. Portretten met blikken en blozen loopt van 14 maart tot 31 december 2020 in het Snijders&Rockoxhuis Antwerpen, gecureerd door dr.

‎, Luster Publishing, 2023 hardcover, 191 pagina's, illustr. 24.7 x 17.7 cm. ISBN 9789460583544.‎

‎Na het succes van de eerste "Goed bewaarde winkelinterieurs" (2014), verzamelde erfgoedkundige Katherine Ennekens in dit boek opnieuw een reeks prachtig geconserveerde winkelinterieurs verspreid over heel Belgi . Winkelinterieurs worden vaak in een nieuw jasje gestoken, om de mode van de tijd te volgen of om te voldoen aan nieuwe opgelegde normen. Maar soms blijft de tijd stilstaan en wordt het interieur lange tijd bewaard. Gelukkig maar, want vaak barsten deze winkels van de charme en brengen ze klanten in verwondering. Daarover gaat dit boek. Het is een ode aan de winkeliers die hun interieur lang niet verbouwd hebben en zo, soms zonder uitgestippeld plan, een heerlijk vintage interieur hebben vandaag. Sommige winkelinterieurs hebben een bijzonder ontwerp, in andere werden materialen gebruikt die vandaag zeldzaam zijn. Allemaal zijn ze uniek en op maat van de ruimte gemaakt. De interieurs overleefden vele generaties en zijn zo tot ons erfgoed gaan behoren. Het is pas wanneer een vertrouwd waardevol interieur verdwijnt, dat buurtbewoners het gemis voelen. Auteur en onderzoekster Katherine Ennekens is interieurarchitecte gespecialiseerd in erfgoed. In 2014 schreef ze een eerste boek over dit onderwerp. Na lang zoeken vond ze opnieuw veertig waardevolle interieurs in Belgi . Ze sprak met de winkeliers en werkte samen met fotograaf Bart Kiggen om ze in beeld te brengen. Dit boek is een oproep aan eigenaars, klanten en de overheid om dit kwetsbare erfgoed te koesteren n te bewaren‎

‎Ingenious Italians, Immigrant Artists in Eighteenth-century Britain‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2024 Hardback, 344 pages, Size:225 x 300 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, 165 col., 2 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9781915487179.‎

‎Summary This book fills a significant gap in the literature on eighteenth-century art in Britain. Although immigrant Italian artists played a crucial role in the development of Britain's expanding art world over the course of that century, they have been largely overlooked in books on both British and Italian art. When mentioned in works on eighteenth-century British art, Italian artists are regarded as bit players who were tangential to the art world. Ingenious Italians seeks to correct this view, demonstrating the critical role played by immigrants who brought their skills and talents to a new country. In Britain, they established networks of Italian and British colleagues, cultivated new patrons and created innovative works for a growing market. In doing so, they influenced the development of art in British society.

‎Summary The Religious Architecture of Islam is a wide-ranging multi-author study of the architectural traditions associated with the religion of Islam across the globe. A total of 59 essays by 48 authors are presented across two volumes, Volume 1: Asia and Australia and Volume 2: Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Essays address major themes across historical and contemporary periods of Islam and provide more focused studies of developments unique to specific regions and historical periods. The essays cover Islamic religious architecture broadly defined, including mosques, madrasas, saints' shrines, and funerary architecture. The Religious Architecture of Islam both provides an introduction to the history of Islamic architecture and reflects the most recent scholarship within the field.

‎- One hundred drawings and a selection of sculpture by emerging French artist Fabien M relle, whose work has been exhibited worldwide to international acclaim- Winner of the 2010 Prix Canson, awarded annually for outstanding work on paper"Drawing is a line of life that I cling to in order not to fail" - Fabien M relle "A free spirit capable of creating and imposing both his highly-personal imaginary world and a similarity of meaning" - Artillery Magazine Fabien M relle is a French artist whose delicate and intricate drawings look realistic but on closer examination convey otherworldly and often disquieting subjects. Stuck to the pregnant belly of his wife, an elephant clinging on his back, or in close embrace with his father, Fabien M relle portrays himself as the protagonist in his drawings in an absurd and surrealistic play. He is known for the anatomical precision of his figures, the sea of white that surrounds them, and the dreamlike quality of his work. This book combines the highlights from his oeuvre to date, with a hundred drawings and a selection of sculptures. M relle has exhibited at The Armory Show in New York, at Art Paris, and was one of the most prominent artists in Jan Fabre's recently curated show, The Raft (Mu.Zee Oostende). In 2010, he was the first winner of the Prix Canson, awarded annually for outstanding work on paper. Text in English and French.‎
