Studies in Medieval and Early Renaissance Art History, Michiel Coxcie lived to the age of 93 and witnessed all the important political, religious, economic and artistic upheavals of the sixteenth century. He was born just before Gerard David raised the art of the Flemish Primitives to its final pinnacle and did not die until the young Rubens had returned to Antwerp from Cologne. He must have known Quinten Metsijs, Joos van Cleve and Pieter Coecke van Aelst. Willem Key and Frans Floris were younger contemporaries, and Bruegel was of the next generation. He outlived them all. During his time in Italy in the 1530s he knew Michelangelo, and was said to be a friend of Giorgio Vasari. Titian, the Venetian prodigy, sent him pigments to help him finish his copy of Jan van Eyck?s Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, and he even painted frescoes in the old Basilica of St Peter in Rome. Few people have led such a fascinating life as Michiel Coxcie. He was a celebrated painter, inundated with prestigious commissions from important clients. He had spent some ten years in Rome where he studied classical antiquity and the art of Renaissance masters like Raphael, Michelangelo and Da Vinci. Back in his the low Countries, Coxcie designed altarpieces, stained-glass windows and tapestries for clients in Brussels, Antwerp and Mechelen. The pinnacle of his career was his appointment as court painter to Emperor Charles V and Philip I. This book focuses on the multifaceted oeuvre of a highly talented yet all but forgotten master who, by introducing the art of the Italian High Renaissance into the Netherlands, earned himself the epithet of the 'Flemish Raphael'.

La beauté et la laideur sont, depuis l?Antiquité, des sujets qui ne cessent de fasciner et de questionner, s?agissant de thèmes universels dont les variantes sont déterminées selon les cultures et les époques. Comment la dialectique entre le beau et le laid s?est-elle formellement exprimée entre la fin du XVe siècle et le XVIe, période qui s?avérera charnière ? Les artistes de la Renaissance ont été les premiers à leur accorder une égale importance et cet intérêt ira croissant tout au long du XVIe siècle. Le présent ouvrage explore cette trajectoire, déployant les thèmes de la beauté et de la laideur sous leurs aspects les plus saillants et les plus représentatifs. Une approche comparative entre les oeuvres de la Renaissance italienne et celles de l?Europe du Nord, en particulier des anciens Pays-Bas, permet de saisir les constantes et les déclinaisons dans l?histoire des formes et du goût, à l?appui d?oeuvres accompagnées de notices, entre autres de Sandro Botticelli, Lucas Cranach l?Ancien, Léonard de Vinci, Frans Floris de Vriendt, Albrecht Dürer, Lorenzo Lotto, Quentin Metsys, Michel-Ange, Titien, Le Tintoret et Veronese. Sous la direction scientifique de Chiara Rabbi Bernard, avec des essais de Cristina Acidini, Christophe Brouard, Elena Capretti, Maria Clelia Galassi, Yves Hersant, Koenraad Jonckheere, Catherine Lanoë, Pietro C. Marani et Giandomenico Spinola.
