Parution : Jürgen Müller, “Der Judaskuss der Malerei – Subversive Bildstrategien im Werk von Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio”, Leyde, Brill, 2026

Caravaggio’s art is subjected to a political interpretation that draws on Erasmus’s writings to explain his paintings. According to Erasmus’s Philosophia christiana, in contrast to Gabriele Paleotti’s Discorso intorno alle immagini sacre e profane of 1582, the sacred is best expressed through the profane. The divine is hidden beneath the cloak of the ugly and the vulgar. Numerous interpretations refer to the dissimulation of anti-Catholic content in Caravaggio’s paintings and the tradition of Pasquino. As poems from Marino’s Galeria show,...

Parution : Laure Fagnart et Stefania Tullio Cataldo (dir.), “Léonard de Vinci au XVIIe siècle – Fortune et infortune”, Turnhout, Brepols, 2026

Contribution à l’étude de la réception de l’œuvre de Léonard de Vinci, au prisme du collectionnisme, de la littérature et de l’art de la gravure. Comment interpréter le décalage surprenant qui paraît, à la fin du XVIe siècle et au XVIIe siècle, entre un Léonard de Vinci, peintre mal connu et peu considéré, et un Léonard de Vinci, théoricien renommé? Cet ouvrage entend expliciter ce paradoxe en convoquant le thème de l’accessibilité (ou de l’inaccessibilité)...

Parution : Andrew Spicer, “War, Revolt and Sacred Space”, Leyde, Brill, 2026

Churches and sacred spaces were devastated by warfare and confessional violence in the southern Netherlands during the late sixteenth century. This monograph explores how these churches were rebuilt, the material culture of worship repaired or replaced, and their sanctity restored. Work began in the immediate aftermath of the iconoclasm and rebellion of 1566–67 and continued into the early seventeenth century. How this was achieved and the multiple agents involved is analysed across the Francophone dioceses...

Parution : Ludovic Balavoine et Gilles Simon, “Les Précurseurs Flamands”, Turnhout, Brepols, 2026

Remonter aux sources de l’ars nova flamand, en compagnie des frères Van Eyck et de Van der Weyden, entre Flandre, Italie et Allemagne. Dans un contexte où la perception du monde évolue, comment les peintres flamands de la première moitié du XVe siècle essaient-ils de figurer leur monde, urbain et religieux, de témoigner de façon réaliste de leur environnement ? La question de l’espace et de sa représentation est fondamentale dans les premiers temps du mouvement humaniste et...

Parution : Carl P.E. Springer, “Albrecht Dürer’s Four Apostles”, Leyde, Brill, 2026

The year 2026 means that 500 years have passed since Albrecht Dürer’s monumental Four Apostles was completed, but these two panels continue to attract much scholarly and popular attention. This monograph argues persuasively that Dürer’s diptych represents the artist’s vision of ideal harmony even as it acknowledges the reality of distinct identities. Even five centuries later, this composition retains an uncanny ability to move viewers who live in very different times and places but still deal with...

Parution : Susan Boynton, “Liturgy of Empire: Reading the Mozarabic Rite in Early Modern Europe, 1500–1800”, Leyde, Brill, 2026

Liturgy of Empire examines the European reception of the neo-Mozarabic rite created under the patronage of the Archbishop of Toledo, Francisco Jimenez de Cisneros (1495–1517), in relation to the history of the Mozarabs of Toledo, the development of bibliophilia and libraries, the scholarly study of medieval liturgy, and the crusading ideology of Spanish expansionism in the Mediterranean. During the emergence of Spain’s global empire, the editions of the Mozarabic rite entered collections throughout Europe. The provenance...

Parution : Elisabeth Oy-Marra et Heiko Damm (dir.), “Naples as Laboratory”, Turnhout, Brepols, 2026

Seventeenth-Century Naples presented a highly unique point of convergence for heterogeneous cultural currents. This volume brings together contributions on major artistic manifestations as well as their strategies of self-promoting. Seventeenth-Century painting in Naples distinguishes itself from that of other artistic capitals for its immense variety of coexisting styles and, in turn, for the rivalry this inspired among artists living in the principal city of the Spanish viceroys. The various tendencies, in fact, might best be...

Parution : Élodie Lecuppre-Desjardin et Nils Bock (dir.), “Innovation and Medieval Communities”, Turnhout, Brepols, 2026

This book highlights the complex relationships of innovation and transformation in communities in Northwest Europe between 13th and 15th century by observing the reception of innovations and the strategies of their diffusion or rejection. It has to be said that when it came to innovation medieval culture demonstrated its mastery of the art of the paradox. Medieval people were compelled to innovate, driven by the dissatisfaction that is part of their nature, leading to changes...

Parution : Antonio Urquizar-Herrera, Borja Franco Llopis et Elena Paulino Montero (dir.), “Early Modern Narratives of Islam across Europe”, Leyde, Brill, 2025

This book analyses early modern narratives that have shaped Europe’s understanding of its Islamic heritage and produces reflective material addressing four main themes: religion, permeability, opposition, and images. The chapters herein seek to create a connected history, defining pan-European trends rather than comparative histories. Through collaborative research, the contributors to this volume explore the narratives that circulated in late medieval and early modern Europe and the Mediterranean, if and how these narratives linked different regions,...

Parution : Timothy Verdon, “Method, Meaning, Mystery”, Turnhout, Brepols, 2025

The present volume is the first of eight that read Christian art and architecture in relation to Scripture and exegesis, to theology, to liturgy, and to devotional piety. Entitled Method and Meaning, it focusses on constants in the two millennia since artists began to interpret what Christians believe and experience. Its goal is to suggest an interdisciplinary approach suited to the variety of works produced in that temporal span. Director of the Museo dell’Opera dell Duomo,...
