For many decades, specialists in Romanesque and Early Gothic art and architecture have questioned the usefulness of traditional stylistic terminology. It is regarded as having limited relevance insofar as it fails to reflect the complexity and plurality of the period under discussion. Nor does it embrace functional, formal or iconographic specificities. Despite these deficiencies, we still have no better way of referring to the art of the period than Romanesque, Late Romanesque or Early Gothic which we make yet more cumbersome by adding a geographical or political term. Of the various media which were affected by artistic innovation in Europe during the second half of the 12th century, particular attention has been paid to stained glass, manuscript illumination, metalwork and enamel. Monumental sculpture was equally subject to profound change during the period, in addition to developing in directions that were largely independent of other media. As a result, late Romanesque sculpture extends across the period from 1140 to 1220, from Saxony to Galicia, though it is still impossible to encapsulate in a single statement what this complex network represented. However, the attainment of a compelling naturalism does seem to have been a shared aspiration among Latin European sculptors. Emerging Naturalism: Contexts and Narratives in European Sculpture 1140?1220 offers a panoramic analysis of this artistic landscape, focused on a central issue in medieval European artistic production. To narrow this field of study, the book concentrates on the innovations and solutions adopted in the great church workshops of western Europe. Gerardo Boto Varela teaches art history at the Universitat de Girona (Spain), is leader of the international research group Templa, and scientific editor of the journal Codex Aquilarensis. Revista de Arte Medieval. His research concentrates on spatial, pictorial, and liturgical aspects of Spanish ecclesiastical architecture from the tenth to thirteenth centuries, as well as on dynastic tombs and memorial culture in Medieval Iberia. Marta Serrano Coll teaches art history at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Tarragona (Spain) and specializes in Medieval architecture and sculpture, particularly in Catalonia. Her research interests include the display of power through artworks and royal patronage in the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages. In addition, she has published in the field of Romanesque sculpture and hagiographical studies. John McNeill teaches at Oxford University?s Department of Continuing Education, and is Honorary Secretary of the British Archaeological Association, for whom he has edited and contributed to volumes on Anjou, King?s Lynn and the Fens, the medieval cloister, and English medieval chantries. He was instrumental in establishing a biennial International Romanesque Conference Series and has a particular interest in the design of medieval monastic precincts.

Summary ?The story of the use of the drill in European sculpture has not yet been written, although it should be fascinating.? So argued Rudolf Wittkower in one of the lectures on the processes and principles of sculpture that he gave as Slade Professor of Fine Arts at Cambridge in 1970. In agreement with Wittkower?s view, this volume presents a series of case studies on the use of the drill ranging from ancient Egypt to the beginning of the twentieth century. Conceived as a catalogue for an ideal exhibition, the book illustrates, in chronological order, various works of art whose creation significantly depended on this tool: not only statues and bas-reliefs, but also architectural decoration, vases in precious stone and utilitarian objects, made in a range of materials including marble, wood, clay, ivory and more. This variety highlights the extraordinary challenge faced over millennia by the drill in its numerous forms (bow drills, gimlets, pump drills, to name but a few), which did not undergo significant technological transformation until the advent of electricity. This tool directly confronted, to a greater extent than others, the hardness of the sculptural materials, piercing them, splitting them and manipulating them beyond any apparent limitation set by nature. In its tussle with the drill, the very affordance of the material was threatened, defeated by the expressive will of the sculptors, their visual cultures, their frames of reference and their notions of nature and art. This volume is devoted to the exploration and understanding of this challenge. Published with the support of the Henry Moore Foundation. TABLE OF CONTENTS Editors?

Summary This book examines the production, patronage, and use of sculptures made in the Low Countries between 1400 and 1600. Two questions frame the book: 'Why did Sculpture from the Low countries matter' and 'Why will Sculpture from the Low Countries matter for future research'. Answers to these questions will be offered in a coherent and richly illustrated study which considers Sculpture as a pivotal subject field within Art Historical discourse.

Une somme exceptionnelle sur la sculpture romane par l?ancien conservateur en chef du d partement des Sculptures du mus e du Louvre. Une iconographie d?une grande qualit photographique. Si la sculpture romane a pu faire l'objet de nombreux ouvrages sur telles coles ou r gions donn es, les livres g n raux sont plus rares. Dans la revue Connaissances des arts = Jean-Ren Gaborit, apr s avoir patronn , en 2005 au mus e du Louvre, une exposition consacr e l'art roman, se devait de nous offrir ce livre en tout point remarquable. partir de chapitres clairement d finis, n' ludant aucune des questions (telles que sources, influences et significations) que soul vent les multiples r alisations romanes, l'auteur parvient offrir au lecteur une synth se tr s dense et vivante faisant un large appel la typologie largie ainsi a tous les types de r alisations dans l'Europe enti re avec, souvent, des oeuvres peu connues du public fran ais, la sculpture romane retrouve ici une grandeur laquelle participent des reproductions de qualit exceptionnelle, qui font aussi de ce livre savant un ouvrage somptueux. M me si la d finition de l?art roman et, plus encore peut- tre, sa d nomination, font l?objet de contestations, le ph nom ne que recouvre ce terme, c'est- -dire le profond renouvellement qui se manifeste, dans toute l?Europe occidentale, entre la fin du Xe si cle et le milieu du XIIe si cle, tant dans l?architecture que dans les autres domaines de la cr ation artistique, appara t comme une vidence. L?une des caract ristiques de ce renouvellement est incontestablement l?importance croissante donn e la sculpture, avec en particulier l?extraordinaire essor de la sculpture monumentale dont on peut voir des t moignages jusque dans les difices les plus modestes. Apr s divers essais, parfois assez timides, durant la p riode dite du premier art roman , la sculpture conna t, d s les derni res d cennies du XIe si cle, un soudain panouissement qui culmine dans la premi re moiti du XIIe si cle avec un grand nombre de r alisations majeures : portails et fa ades, clo tres, d cors int rieurs. Mais la recherche constante de nouvelles formules et, sans doute aussi, la volont d?accompagner les innovations dans l?art de b tir ont amen les sculpteurs multiplier les exp riences ; les rapports entre sculpture et architecture sont ainsi pens s de diff rentes fa ons ; le traitement de la figure humaine volue et l?ornement se diversifie. De nombreux ouvrages ont t consacr s, partiellement ou totalement, la sculpture romane ; parce qu?il est bien difficile de dresser un tableau chronologique coh rent d?un art dont l? volution, sur une p riode relativement br ve, n?a rien de lin aire, l?approche choisie a t essentiellement r gionale, mettant l?accent sur la diversit , bien r elle qui caract rise les principales provinces de l?art roman. Le pr sent ouvrage tente une autre d marche : mettre en valeur, par une analyse plus typologique, ce qui fait l?unit de la sculpture romane : sources d?inspirations communes, recours aux m mes mod les (m me si l?interpr tation en est tr s vari e), adaptation aux m mes sch mas iconographiques, solutions parall les adopt es pour r pondre aux m mes n cessit s. La connaissance de la sculpture romane permet sans doute, du fait de ce m lange d?unit et de diversit , de mieux comprendre la culture de la soci t des XIe et XIIe si cles, soci t marqu e par la violence, que les structures de la f odalit divisent et cloisonnent mais laquelle, en d pit de crises profondes, un certain renouveau conomique et l?omnipr sence de l? glise, travers la constitution du r seau paroissial, l?action des ordres monastiques et les p lerinages, ont donn une r elle unit .

In the first book ever devoted to the sculpture of Venice?s most famous Renaissance marble carver, Markham Schulz integrates all biographical data from primary and secondary sources and criticism of every epoch, with her own first-hand study of Tullio?s work over the course of forty years, to create a comprehensive picture of Tullio?s sculpture - its characteristics and iconography, its sources, development, and influence - within the context of Renaissance Venetian art. At the same time, she explores Tullio?s relations to his father Pietro and his brother Antonio, both renowned sculptors in their own right. The text is accompanied by 339 newly made and largely full-page illustrations, many of sculptures which, on account of their height and inaccessibility, have never been photographed before. Thus, every detail of the author?s meticulous and pellucid analyses is made manifest to the reader by illustrations, which not only meet the most exacting standards for the photography of sculpture, but also provide a treasury of gorgeous images. Educated in the History of Art at Radcliffe College, Harvard University, and the Institute of Fine Arts, NYU, Anne Markham Schulz has taught at the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle, Brown University, and the Universita Federico II at Naples.

This publication is the second volume of the Census of Gothic Sculpture in America and incorporates over 650 works of sculpture located in twelve states and twenty museums in the Midwest, serving as a basis for new interpretations and new meanings. With the publication of this second volume of the Census of Gothic Sculpture in America the project has examined over 650 works of sculpture in stone and wood located in twelve states and twenty museums. The richness and inclusiveness of this material - although for the most part existing in fragmentary condition and removed from its original context - constitutes a deposit of the past in which Americans have been free to imagine a culture far removed from their direct experience. This catalogue stands for a late twentieth-century interpretation of the European Middle Ages. At the same time, by presenting all the documentary and physical information now available to us, the authors hope to provide a basis on which new interpretations can be built and new meanings created.

However, out of the 183 catalogue entries 138 of these are German. The book accompanies each entry with high quality illustrations and paticularly draws attention to the provenance of the works, with many coming from imperial and grand-ducal collections.
