Linda Van Santvoort, Tom Verschaffel, Jan De Maeyer
Sources of Regionalism in the Nineteenth-Century Architecture, Art and Literature
hardback , 200pp. text in Engels . ISBN 9789058676498. Architectural concepts and styles seem to flourish from the most local of contexts to the global. This book investigates the regional, often conceived today as a late nineteenth-century phenomenon, primarily on account of the preservation and restoration movements that arose. An interdisciplinary approach to regionalism, as manifested not only in architecture but also in art and literature, necessitates a more thorough examination of the complexity and multilayered quality of the phenomenon. The research is limited in time to the nineteenth century plus the years leading up to the First World War, and in place to Western Europe, with an emphasis on Belgium, France and England, and to a lesser extent on the Netherlands, Germany and Spain. Derived from the workshop ?The Sources of Regionalism? (Ghent, 2004) held by the FWO research group World Views, Cultural Identities and Architecture in Western Europe, 1815-1940, the essays in this book examine the meaning of regionalism in architecture, art, and literature, its sources, and its cultural and historical background.

Jeruzalem in de crypte. De muurschilderingen in de crypte van de Gentse Sint-Baafskathedraal
softcover 80pp. geillustreerd. in nieuwstaat!. ISBN 9789074311625. boekje nodigt de lezer uit te kijken naar de muurschilderingen en stil te staan bij wat hij ziet. De auteur, Lindsay Vandenabeele, die op vraag van het provinciebestuur haar licentiaatsthesis verwerkte tot een goed leesbare tekst, schenkt aandacht aan de context waarin de schilderingen ontstonden en de wijze waarop ze functioneerden in het kader van de laatmiddeleeuwse devotie. De meeste muurschilderingen in de crypte van de Sint-Baafskathedraal ontstonden op het einde van de 15de of in het begin van de 16de eeuw en werden aangebracht voor didactische en devotionele doeleinden. Na kritiek uit vooral reformatorische hoek raakten ze echter al vlug in onbruik en weren ze overschilderd met witsellagen. Pas in de 20ste eeuw werden ze tijdens restauratiewerken herontdekt en weer vrijgelegd.

Ling, Roger
ANCIENT MOSAICS
Scholar's initial to inner cover (Jenifer Neils). Else fine. ; 144 pages; Using thousands and sometimes millions of pieces of colored stone or glass to create elaborate patterns or scenes is a painstaking and expensive way to decorate a surface. Yet the art of mosaic enjoyed spectacular success in the Graeco-Roman world, where its practitioners created some of the most beautiful artworks in history. This handsomely illustrated and elegantly written book traces the evolution of mosaic from the Hellenistic period to the early Christian era, with particular emphasis on the Roman Empire, and examines its regional variations from Britain to North Africa and from the Levant to the Spanish seaboard. The eminent classical scholar Roger Ling explains how mosaics were first made in the fifth century B. C. With the use of inset pebbles to provide durable pavements. He shows how mosaic became one of the hallmarks of luxury in Roman times, when such masterpieces of imperial floor decoration as the black-and-white silhouette pavements of Ostia and the colorful figure compositions of Piazza Armerina in Sicily were created. From pavements, mosaic graduated to walls and ceilings, where it culminated in the soaring blue and gold work of early Christian churches in Rome, Constantinople, and Ravenna. Ling examines the wide range of styles and subject matter employed by mosaicists, whether geometric patterns or figurative scenes of mythology, agriculture, and hunting, and explores what mosaics reveal about domestic and imperial tastes and aspirations. Such topics as techniques and materials, the relationship of mosaic to other forms of interior decoration, and the influence of ancient mosaics in more recent times are also discussed in detail.
