Hardcover, 351 pages, 89 illustrations de couleur, Texte en Francais, 275 x 220 mm, tres bon etat, . ISBN 9782503586069. Une interprétation novatrice de l?atlas de Jacques de Deventer et de sa place au sein de l?histoire de la cartographie. Dans la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle, Jacques de Deventer a réalisé, à la demande de Philippe II, les plans de plus de 250 villes des Pays-Bas espagnols. Cette collection est exceptionnelle par son ampleur, son homogénéité et sa précision. De plus, pour la plupart des localités, il s?agit de la plus ancienne représentation cartographique conservée. Enfin, ces plans de «?villes?» figurent également une partie des terres alentour. Depuis leur redécouverte au XIXe siècle, ces documents ont suscité de nombreuses recherches. Cependant, la plupart les considéraient comme des instruments militaires ou comme le pur produit d?une «?cartographie?scientifique?». Mais, est-ce réellement la seule manière de les comprendre?? Grâce à une déconstruction approfondie d?une série de plans, la présente étude cherche à comprendre ce caractère exceptionnel. Vision de la ville, perception de l?espace, rôle de l?hinterland, procédés de représentation ou profil du cartographe sont autant d?aspects analysés. Ils permettent de comprendre que, malgré un résultat troublant de modernité, cette collection est largement tributaire des codes de son époque et relève plus du document politique que militaire. Plus largement, il s?agit de voir ce que cette réévaluation apporte à l?histoire du développement de la cartographie au XVIe siècle.
ref. 3734124Washington D.C.: Associated Publishers Inc. circa 1950s–1960s. 22 x 17 inches. Some wear at margins; very good. An almost life-size portrait of Carter Godwin Woodson 1875–1950 the “Father of Black History” and founder of what is today the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. Woodson is shown seated in a chair. The portrait was printed in a half tone process after a photograph of Woodson. Associated Publishers Inc. of Washington D.C. were established in 1921 by Woodson to publish books on African-American history including his own. Woodson began the annual celebration of Negro History Week now Black History Month in February 1926. Jarvis R. Given’s 2021 book Fugitive Pedagogy: Carter G. Woodson and the Art of Black Teaching describes the firm’s long history of publishing portraits of important African Americans “lithographs with suitable margins for framing.” These portraits were issued from the 1930s into the 1960s. As an example in their 1939 catalog Valuable Books on the Negro Associated Publishers sold individual prints and sets of “Pictures of Distinguished Negroes.” The catalog offered “Large Pictures” suitable for “Assembly Halls and Offices Almost Life Size—19 x 24 Inches $1.00 a Piece—Six for $5.00…They supply a long felt need for pictures large enough to be seen at a distance and easily recognized.” Not in OCLC or in the collections of Howard University including their digital “Associated Publishers Photograph Morgue.” unknown

2011Hardcover, VII 654 p., 0 b/w ill. 336 colour ill., 225 x 300 mm, . ISBN 9781905375486. "Truly a distinguished achievement, this book is required reading for general readers as well as specialists in the history of art" (Charles Dempsey, The Johns Hopkins University) A very important part of Caravaggio?s production consists of pictorial narratives, mostly religious. Thus, according to early modern aesthetics, Caravaggio practiced the artistic genre of the istoria: the most discussed and thoroughly defined pictorial institution of his time. Unanimously, seventeenth-century artists and art theorists censored and condemned Caravaggio?s art for its numerous deficiencies and faults in regard to the principles of the istoria. In spite of all these testimonies, Caravaggio?s innovations in and misuses of the techniques specific to early modern pictorial narrative have never been systematically studied, debated, and put into historical perspective. In this volume, Lorenzo Pericolo argues that Caravaggio?s multiple experimentations with the traditional devices of the istoria not only represent the core of an unprecedented "poetics of dislocation," but also unsettled, dismantled, and expanded the scope of pictorial narrative in ways that would have redefined and deeply transformed the concept of painting and artistic creation, had Caravaggio?s enterprise not have been ferociously criticized and stigmatized as both aberrant and defective. To solidly establish the importance and groundbreaking charge of Caravaggio?s work, Pericolo examines the notion of Leon Battista Alberti?s istoria as interpreted and developed by early modern artists and theorists?from Leonardo to Vasari, from Lomazzo to Poussin, and from Michelangelo to Bellori?in vast surveys in which the concepts of diachrony, duration, eurythmy, propriety, verisimilitude, and pictorial truth? among others?are carefully examined on a theoretical and practical level. By analyzing the paintings of Caravaggio?s followers such as Cecco del Caravaggio, Battistello Caracciolo, Valentin de Boulogne and, not least, Diego Velazquez, Pericolo explores how Caravaggio?s innovations in the domain of pictorial narrative were variously construed, elaborated upon, and brought to fruition in the aftermath of the master?s death in 1610, thereby offering a critical explanation of the implosion and extinction of the Caravaggesque movement in the 1630s. Among the flood of recent books devoted to Caravaggio, whose popularity now stands at the zenith, Lorenzo Pericolo?s profound and passionate study stands out for its sensitive and learned presentation of an argument that is both historically true and critically revealing to present-day sensibilities. Thoroughly at home in the vast literature devoted to Baroque art in general and to Caravaggio in particular, Pericolo also brings to his subject an unrivaled understanding of modern theoretical techniques on the one hand, and, on the other, an unrivaled mastery of seventeenth-century artistic theory, profoundly based in Aristotelian poetics and in rhetorical techniques. Through extended close readings of Caravaggio?s paintings, arranged in roughly chronological order, Pericolo brilliantly teases out the theoretical and practical choices that confronted Caravaggio, and that further determined reception of his work, both in the positive and negative senses, by highly sophisticated contemporary audiences. Beyond this, Pericolo is a remarkably sensitive guide to Caravaggio?s expression of profound, wrenching and often painful, emotions caught in eternal suspension, the sources of both his contemporaries? discomfort and our own, modern, recognition and appreciation. Truly a distinguished achievement, this book is required reading for general readers as well as specialists in the history of art.
