‎Mermaids of Venice. Fantastic Sea Creatures in Venetian Renaissance Art‎

‎Hardback, VIII 273 p., 234 b/w ill. 44 colour ill., 220 x 275 mm, Languages: English. ISBN 9781905375455. The arts of Renaissance Venice teem with sea monsters. Chief among these are mermaids and mermen--graceful hybrid beings human from the waist up, but with the lower body and tail of a fish, dolphin or sea serpent. Other sea hybrids--horses, bulls, panthers, even an elephant--also swim through Venetian art in finned and fish-tailed forms. Such creatures emerge from stone in the shadowy churches and the sunlit courtyard of the Palazzo Ducale, crown the wooden frame of a Giovanni Bellini altarpiece, and encircle the bronze flagpole bases in Piazza San Marco. Their gilded sugar apparitions graced banquet tables for illustrious visitors, and their descendents still glide through the canals in the form of brass seahorses set above the sides of gondolas This book focuses on the conceptions of artists who made marine hybrids as some of the most engaging inventions of the Renaissance in Venice and its subject city Padua. The chapters deal with five functional contexts: book decoration of the 1470s and 80s; tomb monuments of the 1480s and 90s; church decoration of the same years, particularly at Santa Maria dei Miracoli; centers of political activity, including civic settings in Venice and the palaces of powerful mainland employers of Venetian artists; and finally, private homes, where owners could hold small bronze sea hybrids in their hands, often as objects for use. A prologue introduces the ?heritage of monsters? from the ancient and medieval worlds, the better to show how Venetian artists adapted these to new purposes. Exploring the ways in which artists could interpret and contemporary viewers might experience these wide-ranging sea-creatures, the book brings their best images together as a source of delight.

‎Renaissance Artists and Antique Sculpture. A Handbook of Sources.New, Revised and Updated Edition‎

‎581 p., 530 b/w ill., 185 x 270 mm,Languages: English, Hardback with dusjacket. fine condition ! ISBN 9781905375608. This publication offers a new, revised edition of a work that was hailed, when it first appeared, as the most useful art-historical reference book to have been published in recent decades It is a Handbook of Sources, documenting and illustrating the most significant antique works of art known to Renaissance artists. More than 500 illustrations show Greek and Roman statues, mythological and historical reliefs as well as triumphal arches together with Renaissance drawings, engravings, bronzes and paintings to demonstrate how and where these classical monuments were discovered and recorded, and how they were copied, adapted, combined and transformed into the style and iconography we now recognize as Renaissance art. The authors, Professor Phyllis Bober and Dr Ruth Rubinstein, based their selection on the Census of Antique Works of Art and Architecture known in the Renaissance, begun at the Warburg Institute in London as a reference catalogue, but continuously extended thereafter and now transferred into a modern web-based database system accessible on the internet. The auhors arranged their illustrative material and their encyclopaedic catalogue thematically, giving full descriptions and history of each antique work, listing Renaissance representations and adaptations, and citing relevant literature. In addition, the myths and legends featured in the classical works are retold briefly in each case to help the reader follow the narrative particularly in the many sarcophagus reliefs reproduced. Although the book has been reprinted twice since its first appearance, only minor revisions had until now been included. Sadly, neither author has lived to see the present publication, but corrections and additions to the Catalogue and the Appendices continued up to the time of their deaths, and Ruth Rubinstein spent the last decade of her life preparing this second edition with substantial catalogue revisions and significant additions to the Bibliography. In addition to Phyllis Bober's introductory essay, which considers the cultural impact of classical Antiquity on Renaissance masters, the handbook also includes two important Appendices: an annotated Index of Renaissance Artists and Sketchbooks, and a descriptive and illustrated Index of Renaissance Collections.‎

‎MAURICE CARLIER. LICHT IN BEWEGING‎

‎softcover, geillustreerde kartonomslag, 195 x 200mm., 242pp., mooie en uitgebreide illustratie in kleur en z/w. Maurice Carlier was een van de pioniers van de abstracte beeldhouwkunst in Belgie. Ondanks zijn indrukwekkende en veelzijdige oeuvre, is het werk van Maurice Carlier vandaag weinig gekend. Dat was ooit anders: tot vier maal toe stelde Carlier zijn werk voor in een solotentoonstelling in het Brusselse Paleis voor Schone Kunsten in de jaren 1930-1950, en kon hij rekenen op de belangstelling van collega-kunstenaars zoals Jean-Jacques Gailliard (1890-1976) en Jacques Moeschal (1913-2004). De tentoonstelling volgt een chronologische opbouw die een stilistische evolutie in Carliers werk zichtbaar maakt. Ze is samengesteld uit de verschillende artistieke technieken die de kunstenaar doorheen zijn gehele leven beheerste: architectuur, meubelkunst, schilderkunst, grafische kunst en beeldhouwkunst. De retrospectieve brengt ongeveer 150 nooit eerder samengebrachte werken samen. 04.10.2009 - 31.01.2010 - FeliXart museum Drogenbos. Boek is in goede staat.‎

‎424 Seiten, 128 S/W- und 22 Farbabbildungen, Festeinband, Fadenheftung, Lesebandchen, 16x23cm, . ISBN 9783937719573. Anlass zu der vorliegenden Untersuchung ist der widerspruchliche Kenntnisstand zum Werk des spatgotischen Bildschnitzers Benedikt Dreyer. Mit profundem psychologischem Durchdringungsvermogen kreierte der Lubecker Kunstler kurz vor Einfuhrung der Reformation einen neuen Heiligentypus, dessen Hauptmerkmal eine expressiv gesteigerte Ausstrahlungskraft war. Ausgehend vom Antoniusretabel (heute im St. Annen-Museum in Lubeck), dem einzigen fur Dreyer archivalisch verburgten Bildwerk, wird das ?uvre des Bildschnitzers einer kritischen Betrachtung unterzogen und das Besondere seiner Figurenkonzeption und seiner Schnitztechnik herausgearbeitet. Der Umgang mit kunstlerischen Vorbildern und Einflussen wird eingehend thematisiert. Ausfuhrlich wird auch die Frage nach den Auftraggebern der Kunstwerke behandelt, wobei insbesondere deren humanistisch gepragter Bildungshintergrund Berucksichtigung findet. Das Resultat der Untersuchungen ist eine fundierte Neubewertung des Dreyerschen Werkkomplexes. Reihe: Bau Kunst. Schleswig-Holsteinische Schriften zur Kunstgeschichte (Band 14)‎

ISBN 9782909797175. ?« Quand on parle, de facon absolue, de l'art bourguignon, c'est de l'art du temps des grands ducs, c'est a la grande ecole sluterienne que l'on pense ?» (J. Calmette). Il est vrai que le genie de Sluter et de ses successeurs a donne a l'art de la Bourgogne et de la Franche-Comte une notoriete internationale. Par le tumulte du drape et l'intensite de l'expression, les deux provinces occupent une place fondamentale dans le renouveau qui preside a l'histoire de la sculpture flamboyante. Cependant, cette histoire deborde largement le cadre du mecenat ducal. L'elan donne par les artistes officiels se poursuit jusqu'au debut du XVIeme siecle. A cote des quatre ?« grands ?», Sluter, de Werve, La Huerta et Le Moiturier, des personnalites nouvelles se font jour, comme Quentin Bouchier, Jacques Bertrand, Jean Damotte, sans parler de la foule des anonymes, comme le Maitre de 1508. On attribuait la sculpture bourguignonne au merite a peu pres exclusif des imagiers ducaux ; on la decouvre a travers la richesse et la diversite de procedes d'une multitude d'artistes. Avec plus de 600 photos, toutes originales et inedites, cet ouvrage de 384 pages recense l'essentiel des ouvres connues ou meconnues des deux Bourgognes, permettant d'apprecier la place imminente de ces provinces dans le mouvement artistique europeen.

‎Corpus of Gothic Sculpture in America. II. The museums of the Midwest.‎

‎Hardback, 468 p., 397 b/w ill., 280 x 210 mm. ISBN 9782503511474. This publication is the second volume of the Census of Gothic Sculpture in America and incorporates over 650 works of sculpture located in twelve states and twenty museums in the Midwest, serving as a basis for new interpretations and new meanings. With the publication of this second volume of the Census of Gothic Sculpture in America the project has examined over 650 works of sculpture in stone and wood located in twelve states and twenty museums. The richness and inclusiveness of this material - although for the most part existing in fragmentary condition and removed from its original context - constitutes a deposit of the past in which Americans have been free to imagine a culture far removed from their direct experience. This catalogue stands for a late twentieth-century interpretation of the European Middle Ages. At the same time, by presenting all the documentary and physical information now available to us, the authors hope to provide a basis on which new interpretations can be built and new meanings created.

‎MARC QUINN FOURTH PLINTH‎

‎Illustrated cardboard wrappers, 215 x 270mm., pages not numbered, colour illustration throughout. ISBN 9783865212405. The Fourth Plinth in London's historic Trafalgar Square has been empty for most of its 164 year history. The site is arguably the most significant public art space in the United Kingdom and on 15 September 2005, Marc Quinn's contentious sculpture, Alison Lapper Pregnant, was unveiled. The sculpture is a portrait of disabled artist Alison Lapper when she was eight months pregnant. Carved from white Carrera marble in Pietrasanta, Italy, it weighs thirteen tonnes and stands 3.55 metres high. It will remain on the Fourth Plinth for 18 months. Alison Lapper, the subject of the piece, said: 'I regard it as a modern tribute to femininity, disability and motherhood. It is so rare to see disability in everyday life ? let alone naked, pregnant and proud. The sculpture makes the ultimate statement about disability ' that it can be as beautiful and valid a form of being as any other.' This book traces the inspiration for the work ' through Quinn's drawings, references (such as the Venus de Milo) and early maquettes ' to its creation ' the casting of Alison Lapper and carving in Italy - and installation in Trafalgar Square. The back section of the book is devoted to the published reaction to the piece - a furore of tabloid disgust, critical acclaim and vociferous argument for the permanent installation of the work at the site of the Fourth Plinth.‎

‎Corpus of Medieval Misericords, Iberia‎

‎Hardback, 284 p., + ills., 215 x 280 mm. ISBN 9782503514994. The Corpus of Medieval Misericords (XIII-XXVI) consists of five volumes; the first four focus on the misericords and related choir stall carvings in specific regions of Europe. The fifth includes an extensive iconographic index of themes common to various countries as well as themes that are unique to a single country. Volume I of this series, Medieval Misericords in France, covers approximately 300 churches that still contain gothic misericords with carved figures and narratives inspired by oral traditions suh as proverbs and folk tales, as well as by manuscript marginalia, romanesque capitals, illustrated bibles, engravings, playing cards... A vast portrayal of medieval life - rural activities, urban occupations, conjugal relationships, monastic life -- is displayed in these carvings under the seats of choir stalls along with costumes of the times, town and collegiate architecture, mechanical devices. Puns and rebuses are often intertwined with these themes to produce comic and, to twenty-first century eyes, mysterious puzzles. The global view of misericord carvings, generally ignored in studies of medieval art, is here presented as a multidisciplinary basis for further research by sociologists, historians, archeologists and other medieval scholars. Following volumes include misericords in Iberia, Flemish and borthen Europe, Great Britain. This volume examines the medieval choir stalls, especially their misericords, in the Iberian Peninsula: Portugal and Spain, most of which are extraordinarily beautiful. Fourteen churches in Spain and two in Portugal still have sets of Gothic choir stalls. These sixteen cathedrals, churches and monasteries compare with over two hundred churches with medieval choir stalls in France. The Iberian choir stalls are mainly the original sets for that church. Those at Belmonte, however, were moved from Cuenca but they were the original set at Cuenca where they were replaced by Baroque stalls. The set that was destroyed at Tomar has also not been replaced with Gothic stalls. It should also be noted that while fewer churches are surveyed in this second volume, the percentage of narrative carvings is higher in Spain than in France where many of the early carvings are foliate. 750 misericords with narrative motifs have been identified on the Iberian stalls as compared with over one thousand in France. Such comparisons indicate the richness of the Iberian stalls, which have over twice as many narrative carvings per ensemble as the French stalls. This profusion of carvings necessitates a rather lengthy iconographic index in this volume. Most of the motifs on stalls in north and central Europe are repeated on the Iberian stalls. There are, however, fewer examples of some themes and more of others. It is rare in Iberia to find a carving of a New Testament scene. No set is concerned totally with the Old Testament as at Amiens and the former set at St Victor of Paris. However, Aristotle still carries Phyllis on his back, the fox preaches to the barnyard animals, the mermaid carries her mirror and comb and the peasant carries his sack to ease the burden on the donkey. The proverbs in Spain and Portugal are mainly Flemish with some additional local sayings. We see more of Hercules in Iberia and more illness. In addition to carved misericords in Iberia, sculptures adorn the arms, dorsal panels, canopies, and partitions between the seats, arm-rests and other structural components. Some of these elements, such as canopies on the base stalls and canopy dividers (roundels or teardrop-shaped projections at the junction of the canopy with the dorsal panel on both base and high stalls) do not even exist on the choir stalls of other countries. Arm-rests in Iberia are usually elaborate and complement the motifs on the misericords. The profane carvings on these parts of the stalls are listed briefly in this volume since they are usually directly related to the misericord motifs. The battling couple may be seen not only on misericords but also on arm-rests, jouee panels, dorsal friezes and interdorsal roundels. The fable of The Fox and the Stork is repeated no less than four times on different parts of the Oviedo choir stalls. The men who carry the riches from the Promised Land on a Toledo misericord, show their fatigue by dropping their burden on a capping rail frieze. A mermaid swims on a misericord but attacking monsters surround her on a dorsal frieze. The repetition of profane carvings is unusual on choir stalls in other countries. At Hoogstraten in Belgium, however, a man gapes before the oven on a misericord and also on an arm-rest. Languages: English.‎

‎Palace of the Mind. The Cloister of Silos and Spanish Sculpture of the Twelfth Century.‎

‎Hardback, 300 p., 300 b/w ill., 210 x 280 mm. fine condition !! ISBN 9782503517117. The extraordinary cloister of Santo Domingo de Silos is central to our understanding of medieval sculpture, and of Spain's place in its development. Elizabeth Valdez del Alamo offers an innovative reading of the monastery's medieval sculpture and the first complete study in English. Her carefully documented work revises many traditional theories about the site built during the late eleventh and twelfth centuries. Rather than expressing resistance to religious reform, as commonly held for the renowned Emmaus and Thomas reliefs of the first campaign, they embrace the newly imposed Roman rite. The sirens, dragons, lions, and birds of the capitals are shown to have significance beyond mere decoration. The inventive images of the second campaign, an Annunciation-Coronation and a Trinity set into the Tree of Jesse, derive specifically from monastic devotion, colored by local concerns such as the Reconquest.
