‎Brussel viert dit jaar 130 jaar art-nouveau-architectuur. In Antwerpen mogen we schrijven over 125 jaar. In 1897-98 zijn de eerste art-nouveauwoningen ontworpen. Toonaangevende architecten zoals Alexis Van Mechelen, Jos Bascourt, Emile Thielens, Jules Hofman en Ernest Stordiau bijten de spits af. Antwerpen heeft meer dan 100 art-nouveaugebouwen waarvan er heel wat beschermd zijn als monument. In het Antwerpse straatbeeld zijn de ontwerpen van de architecten Frans Smet-Verhas en Emiel Van Averbeke niet meer weg te denken. Zoals het 'Volkshuis Help U Zelve' en de huizengroep 'De Vijf Werelddelen' beter bekend als 'Het Bootje'. Dit boek brengt eindelijk het gebouwde art-nouveau-erfgoed in de stad Antwerpen in woord n beeld in kaart, degelijk en voor een breed publiek. Het steunt op heel veel archiefonderzoek en plaatsbezoeken en brengt daarom ook veel nieuwe gegevens aan het licht, zeker over diverse bijzondere priv -interieurs die tot nu gesloten bleven. Het verruimt ook de kennis over de Antwerpse art nouveau, die tot nog toe vaak al te veel beperkt bleef tot de Cogels-Osybuurt. De bijdragen van de beide gastauteurs (Dr Mario Baeck en Tom Peeters) vestigen de aandacht op drie belangrijke sierende elementen in de Antwerpse art nouveau: moza eken, tegeltableaus en sgraffiti. De beroemde Brusselse kunstenaar Paul Cauchie heeft in Groot-Antwerpen meer dan 200 gevels met sgraffito gedecoreerd.‎

‎Book of Colour Concepts : 1686-1963 :‎

‎, Taschen, 2024 Hardcover, two vols. in slipcase, 24.3 x 30.4 cm, 846 pages, Multilingual (English, French, German, Spanish). ISBN 9783836595650.‎

‎The human history of color, in two sweeping volumes The earliest forms of human creativity ? in carvings, markings, and cave paintings ? bear witness to humanity?s engagement with color. Almost as old as these examples is the desire to assign structure, order, and meaning to this universal yet elusive concept, and it is this fascination that unites the works compiled in this expansive edition. Gathering over 65 rare books and manuscripts from a wealth of institutions, including the most distinguished color collections worldwide, The Book of Colour Concepts takes the reader on a chromatic odyssey across four centuries and over 1,000 images of luscious wheels and globes, painstakingly collated charts, and meticulous diagrams, many of them newly photographed exclusively for this edition. Some of these concepts provide exhaustive taxonomies of color, while others reflect upon the relationship of color and music, or the affinities between color and human emotions. Seminal works of color theory, such as Isaac Newton?s Opticks and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe?s hugely significant Zur Farbenlehre, are shown alongside rare and unfamiliar contributions, including the theosophical color systems of Charles Webster Leadbeater and Annie Besant, the comprehensive color ?dictionary? of Aloys John Maerz and Morris Rea Paul, and the patchwork combinations of the Japanese costume designer and artist Sanz? Wada. The two volumes also bring many intriguing and often overlooked works by women into the spotlight, including the radically inventive color ?blots? of the English flower painter Mary Gartside and a botanical notebook by the pionieering spiritualist Hilma af Klint. The color systems that make up this edition are contextualized by introductory essays from editor Alexandra Loske and co-author Sarah Lowengard, while authoritative texts from the editor on the works reproduced set out each concept in further detail. Illuminating the history of color in all its shapes and forms, The Book of Colour Concepts offers a chromatic chronology unparalleled in scope.‎

‎Een spiegel op mode en massamedia in ijzersterk fotografisch werk van Cindy Sherman. Het boek bij de eerste Cindy Shermantentoonstelling in de Lage Landen Cindy Sherman ( 1954) staat bekend om haar baanbrekend werk in fotografie. Ze verkent thema?s als identiteit, gender en sociale rollen door zichzelf te transformeren in uiteenlopende personages en sc nes. Anti-Fashion belicht haar fotografisch werk vanuit een nieuw perspectief, waarbij de focus ligt op de wisselwerking tussen mode en kunst. Haar vele opdrachten voor magazines als Vogue en Harper?sBazaar en haar nauwe samenwerking met beroemde ontwerpers vormen een voortdurende bron van inspiratie. Maar ook omgekeerd be nvloedt deze hedendaagse kunstenaar de modewereld en geeft ze er belangrijke impulsen aan. Shermans interesse in mode komt op een subversieve manier tot uiting: haar foto?s tonen figuren die allesbehalve aantrekkelijk zijn en daardoor alle conventies van haute couture en de gebruikelijke voorstellingen van schoonheid tegenspreken. Het brede spectrum aan personages toont het kunstmatige en veranderlijke van identiteit, die meer dan ooit een kwestie van keuze lijken te zijn, (zelf)geconstrueerd en flu de. Deze publicatie verschijnt bij de tentoonstelling Cindy Sherman, die loopt van 28 september 2024 tot 2 februari 2025 in FOMU, Antwerpen.‎

‎Summary Die Compilatio singularis exemplorum ist eine Exempelsammlung, die gegen Ende des 13. Jahrhundert von einem anonymen franz sischen Dominikaner zusammengestellt wurde. Sie enth lt neben vielen auch anderweitig breit und variantenreich berlieferten Stoffen einiges sonst nur selten erhaltene oder g nzlich unbekannte Erz hlgut. Zudem hebt sie sich von den meisten anderen Exempelsammlungen durch das ihr zugrundeliegende Gliederungsprinzip ab, welches sich an der Dreiteilung der mittelalterlichen Christenheit in S kularklerus, Regularklerus und Laienstand orientiert: Streng hierarchisch geordnet, werden der Reihe nach Geschichten ber die Mitglieder dieser drei St nde erz hlt. Von den P psten bis hinab zu den Theologiestudenten, von den bten und Abtissinnen bis hinab zu den Laienbr dern und Beginen, von den Kaisern und K nigen bis hinab zu den gesellschaftlichen Randexistenzen wird vor uns das ganze Panoptikum der sp tmittelalterlichen Gesellschaft entfaltet. Dem so entworfenen Abbild der Menschenwelt werden in den ersten Teilen der Sammlung eine Marienvita, zahlreiche Marienmirakel, Hostienwunder, Kreuzzugsgeschichte und einige Geschichten ber die Engel vorangestellt. Lediglich der letzte, vermutlich sekund r hinzugef gte Teil der Sammlung weicht von der Gesamtkonzeption des Werkes ab. Er vereint in sich eine Liste altfranz sischer Sprichw rter nebst deren lateinischen Nachdichtungen, Proben der Vagantenpoesie des Hugo Primas und weitere Verse erbaulichen und unterhaltsamen Inhalts. Der lateinische Text der Sammlung ist stellenweise von altfranz sischen Einsprengseln durchsetzt, die in einigen F llen das Ausma kleinerer Gedichte erreichen. Er wird hier zum ersten Mal vollst ndig nach allen drei bekannten berlieferungstr gern, Handschriften des 14. und 15. Jahrhunderts, kritisch herausgegeben.‎

‎Environment, Colonization, and the Baltic Crusader States. Terra Sacra I‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Paperback, xxviii + 548 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:189 b/w, 8 col., 41 tables b/w., 51 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503551326.‎

‎Summary In the thirteenth century, crusading armies unleashed a relentless holy war against the pagan tribal groups of the Eastern Baltic, whose territories were conquered and reorganized into Christian states run by the Teutonic Order, bishops, and their cathedral chapters. Castles were built, towns established, and colonists encouraged to settle under the leadership of the new Christian theocracy. But the changes introduced alongside Christianity not only transformed the culture of eastern Baltic societies, but also had a profound and - for the Baltic tribes, who saw many aspects of the natural world as sacred - deeply significant impact on the local environment. This seminal period in the environmental history of north-eastern Europe has been the focus of the ERC-funded research programme, 'The Ecology of Crusading', which explored the physical and conceptual ecological transformations associated with warfare, colonization, and religious conversion. This is the first of two Terra Sacra volumes, which share the aim of changing our understanding of the environmental impact of crusading and colonization in northeastern Europe. The present volume provides a detailed inter-disciplinary comparison of the environmental transformations associated with the emergence of the crusader states of Livonia and Prussia. It draws on and integrates a range of archaeological, paleoenvironmental, historical, and cartographic sources in order to highlight the diverse impact of colonization and landscape reorganization that followed in the wake of the Baltic Crusades. The companion Terra Sacra volume complements this survey by presenting a number of case studies from across the eastern Baltic region.

‎Franks and Crusades in Medieval Eastern Christian Historiography‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 351 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503565811.‎

‎Summary This volume is an introduction to eleven of the main medieval Eastern Christian historians used by modern scholars to reconstruct the events and personalities of the crusading period in the Levant. Each of the chapters examines one historian and their work(s), and first contains an introductory examination of their life, background and influences. This is then followed by a study of their work(s) relevant to the Crusades, including the reasons for writing, themes, and methodology. Such an approach will allow modern researchers to better understand the background and contexts to these texts, and thus to reconstruct the past in a more nuanced and detailed way. Written by eleven eminent scholars in their fields, and examining chronicles written in Armenian, Greek, Syriac, and Arabic, this book will be essential reading for anybody engaged in research on the Crusades, as well as Eastern Christian and Islamic history, and medieval historiography.

‎Illuminating Women Artists- Clara Peeters‎

‎, Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd, 2025 Hardcover, 128 pages, Illustrated. Text English, 25x20cm *New. ISBN 9781848225718.‎

‎Clara Peeters was one of the most talented and creative among the early practitioners of still-life painting in Europe. This timely book sheds light on the limitations she encountered because of her gender and how she responded to them in her art, while also assessing her importance as a painter. This book serves to establish Clara Peeters, one of the most talented and creative among the early practitioners of still-life painting in Europe in the early 17th century, as a leader in her field. The book not only discusses the artist?s biography but also examines the historical and cultural context of Peeters? art, her artistry and the material culture reflected in her paintings. Part of the first generation of European artists to specialise in still-life painting, Peeters was in fact the only Flemish woman known to have focussed on this genre of painting in the early 17th century. She was also one of the few women to dedicate her professional life to painting in early modern Europe. This timely book sheds light on the limitations that Clara Peeters encountered because of her gender and how she responded to them in her art, while also assessing her importance as a painter of still-life.‎

‎Integrated Peasant Economy in Central and Eastern Europe. A Comparative Approach‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 264 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:30 tables b/w., 5 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503590042.‎

‎Summary Income integration based on the peasants' engagement in non-agrarian sectors is a prominent and widespread feature in the history of the European countryside. While listing a multitude of activities outside the narrow scope of farm management aimed at self-consumption, prevailing interpretations emphasize how survival was the goal of peasant economies and societies. The "integrated peasant economy" is a new concept that considers the peasant economy as a comprehensive system of agrarian and non-agrarian activities, disclosing how peasants demonstrate agency, aspirations and the ability to proactively change and improve their economic and social condition. After having been successfully applied to the Alpine and Scandinavian areas, the book tests this innovative concept through a range of case studies on central and eastern European regions comprising Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Ukraine. By enhancing our knowledge on central and eastern Europe and questioning the assumption that these regions were "different", it helps overcome interpretive simplifications and common places, as well as the underrepresentation of the "eastern half" of Europe in scholarly literature on rural history. That's why the book represents a refreshing methodological contribution and a new insight into European rural history.

‎Binnenkijken in de prachtpanden van Jacques De Weerdt, de mysterieuze architect van begin 20ste eeuw. Alex Elaut, stadsgids en erfgoedkenner in de stad Antwerpen schrijft een boek over architect Jacques De Weerdt. Het is 80 jaar geleden dat hij overleed. Prachtige artnouveau huizen in zowel Antwerpen, Berchem als Borgerhout zijn van zijn hand, maar over de man zelf is weinig geweten. Elaut toont vier pareltjes in de stad die De Weerdt gebouwd heeft, in de hoop om meer informatie over hem te vinden. Honderd huizen in tien jaar; Maar wat weten we dan wel over hem? Wel Jacques De Weerdt, geboren in 1867, is eigenlijk een Mechelaar. Daar woonde zijn familie en ging hij ook naar school. Na tien jaar aan de academie gaat hij aan de slag als tekenaar bij de Belgische spoorwegen, wat hem naar stad Antwerpen leidt. Op tien jaar tijd zou hij wel honderd huizen in de stad hebben gebouwd, zegt Elaut. Over zijn eigen stijl zijn er al studies verschenen, maar informatie over zijn opdrachtgevers en medewerkers zijn er niet. Tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog vluchtte hij naar Rotterdam, maar wanneer hij terugkeert, bouwt hij nog weinig. Was zijn inspiratie op? Was hij ziek? We weten het niet, zegt Elaut. Het enige wat ik nog kan zeggen is dat hij in een psychiatrie verbleef en in 1942 in Boechout is gestorven. In Antwerpen had hij twee broers en een dochter, die trouwens ook in een psychatrisch centrum terechtkwam, en ook in Mechelen had hij nog familie.? Familieweetjes Zelf stopte Elaut al briefjes in de bussen bij de huizen waarvan hij weet dat ze door De Weerdt gebouwd zijn. Hij kreeg al veel positieve reacties om foto's te komen nemen voor het herdenkingsboek. Ik kreeg ook al veel hulp van Marcel Windey, een heemkundige uit Deurne die al veel opzoekwerk heeft gedaan. Maar er kan altijd info bij. Daarom zoek ik mensen die eventueel een foto of portret hebben van de familie De Weerdt, Zenner, Verellen, Wauters en Bocken.‎

‎Summary 'Latin in Byzantium' explores the linguistic competence, cultural identity, and transmission of Latin texts in the 'noua Roma' between the fourth and the ninth centuries. Drawing together texts from a number of fields (e.g., law, grammar, religion, and tactics) and across a range of different forms (e.g., palaeographic, epigraphic, and papyrological), this important project provides scholars for the first time with an in-depth knowledge of both the Latin-speaking milieux in Byzantium, and of the contexts in which Latin was used. Crucially, the ancient sources studied in this volume are also analysed in their broader political and sociological context, providing rich material for study across different disciplines and making this volume an important resource for closing the gaps between literary and non-literary texts, history, and philology.

‎Summary These two volumes comprise the first English translation and critical edition of the extant letters of the Neapolitan painter and satirist Salvator Rosa (1615-1673). Presented in a revised Italian transcription and a complete English translation, the letters are accompanied by extensive historical notes, a philological apparatus, a comprehensive index, appendices, and photographs of the manuscripts. A number of previously unpublished letters also appear here for the first time. Unique among early modern primary documents for their quantity and exceptional for their candour, Rosa's letters are not only a fascinating and intimate chronicle of the artist himself but also an invaluable record of the activities and aspirations of his contemporaries,?offering useful insights into historical persons, ideas and events. An indispensable early modern primary source, comparable in significance to the letters of Michelangelo, Nicolas Poussin or Peter Paul Rubens, Rosa's letters here receive a long-overdue analysis and an English translation that seeks to make more accessible their contents, frequently impenetrable to even native Italian speakers.‎

‎Marsilius of Padua. Between History, Politics, and Philosophy‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 440 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503601335.‎

‎Summary Marsilius of Padua (c. 1275-c. 1342) was one of the most influential and controversial political thinkers of the Middle Ages. He is best known for his seminal text Defensor Pacis (1324) in which he attacks the papal theory of plenitude of power and defends an idea of political community based on the strict separation of political and religious authority. Marsilius' work lies at the crossroads of different disciplines, ranging from political philosophy to civil and canon law, to medicine. Indeed, he presents an original synthesis of several contemporary themes and traditions such as Aristotelianism, Augustinianism, the debate on Franciscan property, the communal tradition of the Italian city-states, ecclesiology, medicine, and astrology. This edited volume analyses the life and thought of Marsilius of Padua in his own context and beyond. Gathering many of the leading experts in Marsilian studies across different national and linguistic traditions working today, this volume has two main goals. First, it aims to bring together experts who come from distinct fields in order to investigate the many branches of knowledge present in Defensor Pacis without losing sight of Marsilius as a comprehensive theorist. Second, the volume aims to shed new light on one of the most neglected aspects in Marsilian studies: the Marsilian influence, i.e., his impact in the early modern period during the Renaissance, the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation, up to twentieth century.

‎The Low Countries are generally considered to be the land of painting. Consequently, sculpture, especially that of the 16th century, has been insufficiently explored. In Moving Sculptures Aleksandra Lipi?ska presents a little-known chapter of the history of Netherlandish sculpture: the serial production of small-scale alabaster reliefs, altarpieces and statuettes in the workshops of Mechelen and Antwerp between c. 1525 and 1650. She gives the reader an insight into the rules of this craft, the specificity of the material, and the marketing methods employed. But the innovative element of this study lies in the fact that Lipi?ska analyses the phenomenon from the perspective of its distant recipients in Central and Northern Europe on the basis of works largely unknown to the broader public.At the Source: Production of the Alabaster Sculpture in the Southern Netherlands 1 Alabaster as a Sculpture Material 17 2 Alabaster in Netherlandish Sculpture from the Late Gothic to the Early Baroque 44 3 Serial Production of Alabaster Sculpture in Mechelen 96 4 The Spread of Alabaster Sculpture from the Low Countries 124 Part 2 At the Destination: Southern Netherlandish Alabaster Sculpture in Central and Northern Europe 5 Altarpieces 143 6 Tombs and Epitaphs 205 7 Exhibits of Real and ?Imagined?

‎Nicolaes Gillis: Antwerpen 1593 - Haarlem 1630 / Pionier van het Haarlemse voedsel- en bloemstilleven‎

‎, Primavera Pers, 2024 Hardback, 304 pages, Illustrated. 29.5 (hoogte) x 25.3cm, Tekst; Nederlands, Catalogue raisonne. *Nieuw. ISBN 9789059974159.‎

‎NICOLAES GILLIS (Antwerpen 1593 - Haarlem 1630) behoort tot de eerste beoefenaars van het zelfstandige stilleven. Over zijn leven was tot nog toe niet veel bekend, behalve dat hij uit Antwerpen kwam en in Haarlem werkzaam was. Nieuw onderzoek wijst op een gedegen leertijd in Antwerpen, waarna Gillis furore maakte als pionier van het Haarlemse voedsel- en bloemstilleven. In Antwerpen heeft Gillis veel geleerd van Osias Beert; in Haarlem was de kruisbestuiving met Floris van Dijck van belang. De gezamenlijke invloed van Gillis en Van Dijck zou zich uitstrekken naar volgende generaties stillevenschilders. Het oeuvre dat Nicolaes Gillis heeft nagelaten is niet erg groot. Dit boek laat echter zien dat het veelzijdiger en invloedrijker is geweest dan voorheen werd aangenomen. Gillis was niet alleen een schakel tussen Antwerpen en Haarlem, maar ook een echte vernieuwer. Deze eerste monografie met catalogue raisonn is het resultaat van uitgebreid kunsthistorisch onderzoek en speurwerk in archieven. Behalve een overvloedige bron van informatie, vormt het boek een terecht eerbetoon aan Nicolaes Gillis. Drs. Alexander Thijs (1980) heeft na een carri re als tandarts zijn liefde voor Oude Meesters verder ontwikkeld met oog voor historische context, herkomstonderzoek, symboliek en schildertechnieken. Als zelfstandig onderzoeker bestudeerde hij voor de tentoonstelling Ode aan Antwerpen (Utrecht, Museum Catharijneconvent, 2023) een schilderij van Erasmus II Quellinus, Rubens? laatste grote leerling en medewerker. Dit leidde tot een bijdrage aan de tentoonstellingscatalogus Van Antwerpen naar Amsterdam.‎

‎Summary The Roman conquest of the Iberian peninsula, a land already inhabited by peoples who were characterized by cultural, ethnic, and social diversity, was one of the longest and most complex colonial processes to have occurred in the Roman world. Different political entities saw integration and interaction taking place at different speeds and via different mechanisms, and these differences had a profound impact on the development of religious dynamics and cultural change across the peninsula. This edited volume draws together contributions from a number of experts in the field in order to deepen our understanding of religious phenomena in Hispania ? in particular cult, rituals, mechanisms, and spaces ? and in doing so, to offer new insights into processes of cultural and social change, and the impact of conquest and colonialism. The chapters gathered here identify how forms of religious interaction occurred at different levels and scales, and explore the ways in which religion and religious practices underpinned the construction, development, and renegotiation of different identities. Through this approach they shed important light on the crucial role of cultic practices in defining cultural and social identity as Iberia's provincial communities were drawn into the Roman world.
