‎Concepts of Ideal Rulership from Antiquity to the Renaissance‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, 488 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:4 tables b/w., Languages: English, French, German. ISBN 9782503580777.‎

‎Summary Ancient works On Kingship have received a lot of attention in recent scholarship, where the main focus is usually on classic works such as Seneca's On Clemency, Isocrates' Cyprian Orations or Dio of Prusa's Kingship Orations. In this volume, we deliberately turn to the periphery, to the grey zone where matters usually prove more complicated. This volume focuses on authors who deal with analogous problems and raise similar questions in other contexts, authors who also address powerful rulers or develop ideals of right rulership but who choose very different literary genres to do so, or works on kingship that have almost been forgotten. Departing from well-trodden paths, we hope to contribute to the scholarly debate by bringing in new relevant material and confront it with well-known and oft-discussed classics. This confrontation even throws a new light upon the very notion of 'mirrors for princes'. Moreover, the selection of peripheral texts from Antiquity to the Renaissance reveals several patterns in the evolution of the tradition over a longer period of time.

‎tr sor de guerre des nazis : Enq ete sur le pillage d'art en Belgique‎

‎, RACINE, 2023 Hardcover, 448 pages, Texte en Francais, 245 x 180 x 40 mm, Nouveau, illustr. en couleur / n/b. ISBN 9782390252184.‎

‎La Seconde Guerre mondiale fut aussi le th tre d'un pillage artistique sans pr c dent. Dans les territoires occup s, les nazis s'empar rent d'innombrables biens culturels qu'ils exp di rent en Allemagne pour tancher la soif d'art des hauts dignitaires du parti. Ce livre apporte un clairage in dit sur les spoliations commises en Belgique. Comment expliquer la disparition de tableaux de grands ma tres tels que Memling, van der Weyden, Brueghel, Jordaens et Cranach ? Les nazis vid rent des maisons, d rob rent des oeuvres, orchestr rent des ventes forc es et d pens rent des millions de reichsmarks sur le march de l'art. Pendant huit ann es d'investigation, Geert Sels a m ticuleusement reconstitu le puzzle l'aide des pi ces d nich es dans des archives Paris, La Haye, Coblence et dans les principales villes de Belgique. Gr ce un travail de d tective minutieux, il retrace les itin raires suivis par de nombreuses oeuvres d'art. Il montre comment divers collectionneurs, marchands et h tels de ventes sans scrupule aid rent les nazis acqu rir des oeuvres d'art. Apr s la guerre, des tableaux provenant de Belgique se retrouv rent au Louvre, la Tate Britain, au Getty Museum ou la Yale University Art Gallery. Les Pays-Bas, la France, l'Allemagne et m me la Russie poss dent toujours des oeuvres d'art qui auraient d retourner en Belgique. Le r cit des v nements acquiert ainsi une envergure internationale. D'autres oeuvres ont bel et bien t restitu es et sont maintenant expos es dans des mus es belges, sans que l'on ait pris la peine de rechercher leurs propri taires l gitimes. Pourquoi, contrairement d'autres pays, la Belgique a-t-elle fait preuve d'une telle passivit en mati re d'oeuvres d'art spoli es par les nazis ? Le Tr sor de guerre des nazis d masque une v rit d rangeante, constituant par l m me une sorte de stress test pour la politique des pouvoirs publics. Ce livre sort diff rents dossiers de l'oubli et d voile la face obscure de tableaux accroch s dans nos mus es.‎

‎Jan Christiaan Sepp. The Book of Marble : Famous First Edition:‎

‎Italy, Taschen Gmbh , 2023 Hardcover in slipcase, 310 x 250 x 35 mm, 312 pages , Edition: English, French, German, Illustrated in fine colors. First printing of 10,000 numbered copies. ISBN 9783836594349.‎

‎A Marvel in Marble. The true beauty of stone captured by Jan Christiaan Sepp An exhaustive compendium of marble, Afbeelding der Marmor Soorten (A Representation of Marble Types) depicted 570 samples across 100 colour plates, accompanied by texts in five languages. Published in 1776 at the peak of the Enlightenment, it is regarded, rightly, as one of the finest illustrated scientific books of the era. Over the course of the 18th century, beautiful books that categorised, annotated, and illuminated the Enlightenment pursuit of learning across Europe had become increasingly popular. Knowledge was everything and everywhere, and these books provided it for those not wealthy enough to build their own personal collections of rare and exotic objects. Marmor Soorten, one such edition, took the standards of both aesthetics and categorisation to a whole new level. Jan Christiaan Sepp and his father Christian ? himself a respected collector ? had already earned a reputation for luxury publications on scientific themes, starting with Christian?s own Nederlandsche Insecten (Insects of the Netherlands). But it was his son who created the visual masterpiece Marmor Soorten, revising an existing German publication from 1775 by Adam Ludwig Wirsing. The result ? published in 11 instalments to a print run of around 100 ? was among the finest examples of its kind. Featuring new photography to depict the intricate details of the marble samples, this edition brings an unknown treasure back to relevance. The plates, each meticulously hand-coloured and arranged with painstaking precision, have an abstract-art feel that gives this volume an almost modern slant. This edition reproduces the pages from two copies of Marmor Soorten held at the State and University Library in Dresden and the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. Reprinting the work in full for the first time, The Book of Marble brings that rare blend of beauty and encyclopedic knowledge to a wider audience.‎

‎DE GENOEGENS VAN DE TUIN,‎

‎Brussel, Mercatorfonds/ Dexia, 2004 Gebonden, groen linnen met goudopdruk, geillustreerde stofomslag, 255 x 330mm., 259pp., 260 illustraties in kleur. ISBN 9789061535539.‎

‎Iedere tuin heeft zijn eigen geschiedenis. De redenen om een tuin aan te leggen zijn even talrijk als de tuinen zelf. Tuinen zijn soms een getuigenis van een tijd en een kunst; in de ene tuin is het landschap als een architectuur geconstrueerd, in de andere wordt het landschap als een herwonnen vrijheid ervaren. De 'tuinkunstenaars' vatten hun tuinen op als een stijloefening, een betoog over de kunst; de tuin is hun schilderij, hun gedicht. De auteur nodigt de lezer uit hem te vergezellen op vier wandelingen met telkens een ander thema: het genoegen van het vertoon, van de eenzaamheid, van de wetenschap en van de kunst, in het voetspoor van de mensen die deze tuinen bedacht, aangelegd, onderhouden en soms helemaal gereconstrueerd hebben. Boek is in nieuwstaat.‎
