Actualité de la recherche en histoire de l’art de la Renaissance / Parutions

Parution : Berit Wagner, Almut Pollmer-Schmidt et Heidrun Lange-Krach,”Das Werk im Zentrum. Kunstgeschichte mit Objekten aus dem Städel Museum und der Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung”, Berlin, Deutscher Kunstverlag, 2025

Developing an art-historically relevant and innovative question based on a key object is a complex matter. Each focused examination not only opens up specialist knowledge; at the same time, it provides a deep insight into a living piece of art history. With this in mind, the present volume brings together over 40 contributions by international authors who subject objects from the Frankfurt collections of the Städel Museum and the Liebieghaus collection of sculptures to focused...

The first part of the exhibition, Renaissance Symbols,focuses on the origins of the three earliest surviving decks from the fifteenth century, which were commissioned by the Dukes of Milan. It examines the rich court culture from which the cards emerged, the development of...

Parution : Corinna Tania Gallori, Benito Navarrete Prieto, “The Creation, Diffusion, and Reception of Italian Art in the Early Modern Iberian World”, Londres, Routledge, 2025

This edited volume addresses the circulation of works of art, images, and ideas between the Iberian and Italian world and the subsequent responses this motion generated. Amongst the themes discussed are the concepts of centre and periphery, replicas and alterations, and how items and ideas were reinterpreted. The processes of appropriation and transformation create an artistic geography of identities in which originality can be studied through the processes of assimilation of images shared between Europe,...

Parution : Genevieve Warwick, “Bernini Ephemeral and Preparatory Sculpture”, Londres, Routledge, 2025

Taking up questions of artists’ materials and technical processes currently at the vanguard of art-historical scholarship, this book studies the contiguity and interchange of workshop methods in the linked fabrication of both ephemeral and preparatory works by Bernini. Genevieve Warwick argues that the ephemeral arts of ritual occasion acted as a locus of artistic experiment for the artist in many respects similar to his use of preparatory models, to suggest that Bernini’s artistry sprang from...

Parution : José Eloy Hortal Munoz, Merlijn Hurx (dir.), “Building the Presence of the Prince. The Institutions Responsible for the Construction and Management of the Buildings of European Courts (14th-17th centuries)”, Turnhout, Brepols, 2025

By the late Middle Ages, architecture became an increasingly important means of representation of princely rule and institutions. In addition to their symbolic significance, the ruler’s buildings served a host of practical purposes. Obviously, castles and fortresses defended the territory, while urban and rural residences served the itinerant court during its proceedings, but their possessions also comprised a wider network of estates that included infrastructure and agricultural, commercial, industrial, and administrative buildings. Together, these networks...

Parution : Michael Hill et Jennifer Milam, “Death, Disease and Mystical Experience in Early Modern Art”, Amsterdam, Amsterdam University Press, 2025

Fear of death and disease preoccupied the European consciousness throughout the early modern era, becoming most acute at times of plague and epidemics. In these times of heightened anxieties, images of saints and protectors served to reassure the faithful of their religious protection against infection. Modes of visual engagement and devotional subject matter were coupled in new ways to reinforce the emotive impact of art works and to reaffirm the perceived reality of the afterlife....

Parution : Anna Swartwood House, “Antonello da Messina and the History of Art “, Londres, Routledge, 2025

This book argues that painter Antonello da Messina (c. 1430–1479) is a formative cross-cultural figure in the practice of art history itself. Featuring new interpretations of some of his best-known works, Anna Swartwood House shows how the uncertainties surrounding the painter have made him a uniquely pliable figure, easily inserted into different narratives of contact, cultural translation, and exchange. Using a wide range of materials including archival documents, biographies, civic histories, collectors’ notes, and popular...

Parution : Jozef Matula, “Sophia in Changing Times”, Turnhout, Brepols, 2025

The concept of sophia, or wisdom, is deeply embedded in the religious and cultural history of European civilization, linked to intelligence, philosophy, and the religious notion of divine wisdom. This volume brings together papers that examine sophia from various perspectives — philosophical, theosophical, and sophiological — across three disciplines: art, theology, and philosophy. The chapters gathered here explore topics including Byzantine genealogies, Serbian sainthood, and Kantian philosophy, with a focus on case-studies from Eastern Europe....

Parution : Silvia Tita, “Legal Visuality. Exegesis, Ambiguity, and Dissimulation of the Donation of Constantine in the Early Modern Period”, Turnhout, Brepols, 2025

This study is the first to explore the reasons for the intriguing proliferation of the visual theme of the Donation of Constantine in the early modern period and the implications of the theme for the global politics of the papacy. The (in)famous Donation, a document forged in the eighth century, stipulated the endowment of the papacy with the entire “West” by the first Christian emperor Constantine the Great (306-37). Instead of looking at related visual...

Parution : Anna Maria Jonietz, “Die Selbstbildnissammlung Der Medici 1650-1723: Frühneuzeitliche Strategien Zur Auslotung Und Formung Von Evidenz”, Berlin, De Gruyter, 2025

The ‘Galleria degli Autoritratti’ in the Uffizi, Florence, is the largest collection of artists’ self-portraits in the world. It was founded in 1650 by Leopoldo de’ Medici, and his heir Cosimo III expanded and reorganized it. Assisted by a network of agents and guided by empirical research criteria, the two patrons acquired only genuine self-portraits. The outcome was a unique, special collection closely linked to the epistemological approaches of the 17th century. Anna Maria Jonietz...
