‎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.

‎What is Quality in Art? A Meditation Based on European Paintings from the 15th to the 18th Centuries"‎

‎In-depth art-historical reflection on value judgments in art by one of Europe?s leading curators "This is a necessary book. The concept of quality is key in the history of art, and often little understood." ? Miguel Falomir, Director, Museo del Prado "That this is a legitimate question, even a necessary one, is argued by Vergara in a pleasurable manner, with the pace and attitude of a peripatetic thinker. There is something here that reminds one of Montaigne or Stendhal." ? Antonio Mu oz Molina, El Pa s "This wonderful and wise book made me look at the artwork without intimidation or any confusion. It is a great pleasure to be guided by the experienced eye of Alejandro Vergara." ? Olga Tokarczuk, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature Throughout history, human beings have excelled at creating art of the highest quality. Aristotle wrote that Homer ?surpassed all others? while Pliny the Elder referred to ?masterpieces that we never tire of admiring?. Vel zquez distinguished between portraits ?made with art? and those that were not. What did they all mean exactly? And what do we mean when we say that a work of art is good, of high quality? This book is an attempt to explain this central question, which remains surprisingly unexplored. Alejandro Vergara-Sharp argues that ?a deep knowledge of the history of art provides us with the tools to approach this issue objectively?. He then invites the reader to share with him a Socratic voyage of discovery, gradually unveiling arguments that can assist us in understanding this elusive and crucial concept. Alejandro Vergara-Sharp (b. 1960, Washington DC) is Senior Curator of Flemish and Northern European Paintings at the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid.‎

‎Ecologies of Crusading, Colonization, and Religious Conversion in the Medieval Baltic. Terra Sacra II‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Paperback, xx + 246 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:73 b/w, 9 col., 22 tables b/w., 20 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503551333.‎

‎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 second Terra Sacra volume draws together a series of case-studies on Livonia and Prussia that provide a unique snapshot of recent research into environmental change during the Baltic Crusades and also explore long-term trends in landscape organization and environmental exploitation. The volume covers six key themes: building-construction in the conquered territories; food supply to the houses of the Teutonic Order; life in the multi-cultural towns of the eastern Baltic; transforming the physical landscape; transforming the spiritual landscape; and the Baltic Ordensland in its regional context. It forms a companion to Environment, Colonization, and the Baltic Crusader States: Terra Sacra I.

‎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?

‎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.‎

‎Acquisition through Translation. Towards a Definition of Renaissance Translation‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 380 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:12 b/w, Languages: English, Italian, German. ISBN 9782503589541.‎

‎Summary The definition of translation in Renaissance Europe is here proposed as a process of acquisition: the book studies how a number of European languages, finding their identification in the newly evolving concept of nation, shape their countries' vernacular libraries by appropriating ancient and contemporary classics. The emergence of standard modern languages in early modern Europa entailed a competition with the dominant Latin culture, which remained the prevalent medium for the language of science, philosophy, theology and philology until at least the eighteenth century. In this process, translation played a very special role: in a number of significant instances we can identify in the undertaking of a specific translation a policy of acquisition of classical - and by definition authoritative - texts that contributed to the building of an intellectual library for the emerging nation. At the same time, the transmission of ideas and texts across Europe constructed a diasporic and transnational culture: the emerging vernacular cultures acquired not only the classical Latin models, incorporating them in their own intellectual libraries, but turned their attention also to contemporary, or near-contemporary, vernacular texts, conferring on them, through the act of translation, the status of classics. Through the examination of case studies, that take into account both literary and scientific texts, this volume offers an overview of how early modern Europe developed its vernacular national literatures, following the model suggested in the late Middle Ages, through a process of acquisition and translation.

‎, 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.

‎Summary This volume, the first in a new series dedicated to the archaeological and historical landscapes of central Mediterranean Italy, aims to offer a fresh and dynamic new approach to our understanding of central-southern maritime Tuscany during the Roman period. Drawing on research that was initially presented at the first International Mediterranean Tuscan Conference (MediTo) held in Paganico (Grosseto, Italy) in June 2018, and supported by invited papers from other experts in the field, this collection of essays offers the most up-to-date research into Roman and Late Antique landscapes within Tuscany and its broader Mediterranean context, as well as the political, economic, and social networks that developed in this area during the Classical Period. Ultimately, what emerges from this in-depth study of river valleys, urban centres, and coastal settlements is an understanding of a dynamic Roman territory of cities and villages, villas and sanctuaries, minor sites, and manufacturing districts in which the local population fought to establish and maintain connections with the wider Mediterranean.

‎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.‎

‎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.‎
