Parution : G. Le Cuff, A. Lepoittevin (dir.), « Aiutando l’arte. Les inscriptions dans les décors post-tridentins d’Italie/ Le iscrizioni nella pittura post-tridentina italiana », Bruxelles, Peter Lang, 2022

« Aiutando l’arte con le parole per esprimere suo concetto » : ces mots de Giorgio Vasari trahissent l’ambivalence de la théorie artistique du Cinquecento devant les inscriptions dans la peinture, son auteur moquant ailleurs la « gofferia » des phylactères tardo-médiévaux. En disgrâce au début du XVIe siècle, l’intitulation et l’appareillage scripturaire des décors font retour après le concile de Trente afin de mieux encadrer la réalisation et la contemplation de l’art religieux. Cet...

Parution : Tobias Frese, “Bilder der Christophanie : Ambiguität, Liminalität und Konversion”, Brill, Leyde, 2022

    Frühmittelalterliche Bilder der Christophanie irritieren den Betrachter oftmals durch widersprüchliche Aussagen. Das Buch analysiert prominente Fallbeispiele in neuen Perspektiven. Doppeldeutigkeiten in der mittelalterlichen Kunst wurden von der kunsthistorischen Forschung lange Zeit unterschätzt oder gänzlich ignoriert. Dies resultierte aus dem traditionellen Anliegen der ikonographischen Interpretationspraxis, christliche Bildinhalte möglichst eindeutig zu bestimmen. Motivische Widersprüchlichkeiten wurden zumeist als Ausnahmen disqualifiziert, auf pragmatische Gründe zurückgeführt oder als künstlerische Fehler abgetan. Im Buch wird anhand mehrerer Fallbeispiele dargelegt,...

Parution : Margaret D. Carroll, “Hieronymus Bosch Time and Transformation in The Garden of Earthly Delights”, New Haven, Yale University Press, 2022

A new and exciting interpretation of Bosch’s masterpiece, repositioning the triptych as a history of humanity and the natural world Hieronymus Bosch’s (c. 1450–1516) Garden of Earthly Delights has elicited a sense of wonder for centuries. Over ten feet long and seven feet tall, it demands that we step back to take it in, while its surface, intricately covered with fantastical creatures in dazzling detail, draws us closer. In this highly original reassessment, Margaret D. Carroll reads...

Parution : Wietse de Boer, “Art in Dispute Catholic Debates at the Time of Trent”, Brill, Leyde, 2021

    Series :  Brill’s Studies on Art, Art History, and Intellectual History, Volume: 59 The Catholic Church answered Reformation-era contestations of the cult of images in a famous decree of the Council of Trent (1563). Art in Disputerevisits this response by focusing on its antecedents rather than its consequences. The mid-sixteenth century saw, besides new scholarship on Byzantine doctrines, heated debates about neo-scholastic interpretations. Disagreement, suppressed at Trent but re-emerging soon afterwards, centered on...

Parution : André Verstandig, “Pieter Bruegel – Le Massacre des Innocents”, Bruxelles, SAMSA, 2022

Essai. L’oeuvre de Pieter Bruegel l’Ancien s’inscrit dans son époque, la Renaissance, le « Rinascimento», imaginé dès 1568 par l’italien Giorgio Vasari, on redécouvre à travers toute l’Europe occidentale, les arts, les sciences et, surtout, la littérature. Quelques souverains emblématiques : Charles Quint, François Ier, Henri VIII, Philippe II, ou Soliman le magnifique; et des condottieres comme Andrea Doria, Don Juan d’Autriche, le duc d’Albe, Hernán Cortez, ou Fransisco Pizarro, sont les acteurs des principaux...

Parution : Marsha Libina, “Sebastiano del Piombo and the Sacred Image”, Turnhout, Brepols, 2022

On account of the artists’ collaborative practice, Sebastiano del Piombo’s oeuvre is often misconstrued as a coloristic supplement to Michelangelo’s disegno or as a mere extension of the older master’s drawings and ideas. Marsha Libina’s book complicates this narrative by offering a critical reevaluation of the devotional art of Sebastiano del Piombo (1485–1547), an important Venetian artist whose Roman work stands at the nexus of questions regarding art, religious reform and the largely unexplored history of artistic collaboration. Investigating...

Parution : Nerida Newbigin, « Making a Play for God: The Sacre Rappresentazioni of Renaissance Florence », 2021

Playful pleasure or devout piety? Why did Florentines invest so much effort in the performance of sacre rappresentazioni, their dramatizations of the life of Christ and the saints, the history of Man’s Salvation from the Creation to the Last Judgement, Old and New Testament stories, and miracles of the Virgin? Drawing on manuscript and printed plays, confraternal and communal archives, chronicles and letters, this study explores in fine detail and with careful attention to chronology...

Appel à contribution : « Historic Urban Landscape of European Cathedral Cities. Past Presencing. Public Perceptions and Understanding of the Medieval City », en ligne, 21-22 mai 2021, date limite le 1er mai 2021

The term cathedral city indicates an urban settlement that became an Episcopal see in Antiquity or early in the medieval period, and was developed during the 11th to the 15th century. These were formative centuries for European cities, during which a concentration of religious and secular powers and of social and economic forces shaped the form of the urban built environment and redefined its cultural meanings through social practices of space. The aims of this...
