Parution : Noa Turel, “Living Pictures, Jan Van Eyck and Painting’s First Century”, Londres, Yale University Press, 2020

Living Pictures – Jan Van Eyck and Painting’s First Century A significant new interpretation of the emergence of Western pictorial realism. When Jan van Eyck (c. 1390–1441) completed the revolutionary Ghent Altarpiece in 1432, it was unprecedented in European visual culture. His novel visual strategies, including lifelike detail, not only helped make painting the defining medium of Western art, they also ushered in new ways of seeing the world. This highly original book explores Van...

Parution : Alexander Nagel, Giancarla Periti, “Ravenna in the Imagination of Renaissance Art”, Turnhout, Brepols, 2020

Ravenna in the Imagination of Renaissance Art It is clear that Renaissance artists and their patrons were interested in Ravenna’s buildings and their decorations, both before Vasari’s negative pronouncements and after them. Contemporary European travelers and diarists have left descriptions of the city’s heritage, by then in ruinous condition. What happens if we reinsert this corpus of Ravenna’s treasures and their multiple imbrications into our histories of Renaissance art? How can our narratives change if...

Parution : S. Campbell, “Andrea Mantegna: Humanist Aesthetics, Faith, and the Force of Images”, Brepols, 2020

Andrea Mantegna: Humanist Aesthetics, Faith, and the Force of Images If the fifteenth century in Italy has been seen as the moment when the constellation of disciplines known as “the humanities” begins to take shape, it was also a time when a “crisis in the humanities” – their value, their limits, who and what they included or excluded – was also manifest. A largely nineteenth century construction of “Renaissance humanism” has indelibly cast humanist pursuits...

The Art of Sculpture in Fifteenth-Century Italy surveys the sculptural production created by a range of artists throughout the peninsula. It offers a comprehensive overview of Italian sculpture...

Parution : Christopher J. Nygren, “Titian’s Icons. Tradition, Charisma, and Devotion in Renaissance Italy”, Penn State University Press, 2020

Titian’s Icons – Tradition, Charisma, and Devotion in Renaissance Italy Titian, one of the most successful painters of the Italian Renaissance, was credited by his contemporaries with painting a miracle-working image, the San Rocco Christ Carrying the Cross. Taking this unusual circumstance as a point of departure, Christopher J. Nygren revisits the scope and impact of Titian’s life’s work. Nygren shows how, motivated by his status as the creator of a miracle-working object, Titian played an...

Parution : Judith Noorman, “Art, Honor and Success in The Dutch Republic. The Life and Career of Jacob van Loo”, Amsterdam, Amsterdam University Press, 2020

Art, Honor and Success in The Dutch Republic The Life and Career of Jacob van Loo Focusing on the interrelationship between Jacob van Loo’s art, honor, and career, this book argues that Van Loo’s lifelong success and unblemished reputation were by no means incompatible, as art historians have long assumed, with his specialization in painting nudes and his conviction for manslaughter. Van Loo’s iconographic specialty — the nude — allowed his clientele to present themselves...

Parution : Carolina Mangone, “Bernini’s Michelangelo”, Londres, Yale University Press, 2020

Bernini’s Michelangelo A novel exploration of the threads of continuity, rivalry, and self-conscious borrowing that connect the Baroque innovator with his Renaissance paragon. Gianlorenzo Bernini (1598–1680), like all ambitious artists, imitated eminent predecessors. What set him apart was his lifelong and multifaceted focus on Michelangelo Buonarroti—the master of the previous age. Bernini’s Michelangelo is the first comprehensive examination of Bernini’s persistent and wide-ranging imitation of Michelangelo’s canon (his art and its rules). Prevailing accounts submit...
