‎Territories and Boundaries Crossing rivers in Byzantium and Beyond‎

‎, Brepols, :2026 Paperback, 347 p., 156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:66 b/w, 100 col., Language(s):English, German. *New . ISBN 9782503619088.‎

‎Rivers are essential elements of nature that shape the physical landscape and the way of life of people in their surroundings. They define territories and boundaries, separating and connecting in a real and a figurative sense. The crossing of rivers with man-made devices such as fords, rafts, ferries and bridges of various materials demonstrates the dominion of humankind over nature and provides advantages in many areas of human life: social, economic, military. The physical appearance and the effort to construct crossings have granted them symbolic meaning, ranging from triumphal monuments visualizing the conquest of a river and expansion of state territory to places of transition defining a space between opposed worlds. In order to investigate for the first time the peculiarities of river crossings in the Byzantine empire, the present volume places them in a broad chronological and geographical context. It includes sixteen papers by established and emerging scholars from various European academic institutions and multiple disciplines, stretching chronologically from Late Antiquity to the 16th century and geographically from Jordan to Great Britain. Based on an interdisciplinary discourse the volume shows different aspects of the Byzantine world that bring us further in our understanding of Byzantium.‎

‎ Sicut in caelo Sacred Music in Early Modern Italy‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, xx + 480 p., 210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:71 b/w, 17 tables b/w., 49 musical examples, Language(s):English, Italian. *New . ISBN 9782503621852.‎

‎This volume offers a comprehensive examination of sacred music in Italy from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century, bringing together contributions from nineteen scholars at the forefront of current musicological research. Through a diverse array of topics and methodologies, the collection sheds new light on the multifaceted roles that sacred music played within Italian religious, cultural, and institutional life over four centuries. The chapters engage with the production, transmission, and performance of sacred music across a variety of regional and ecclesiastical contexts. Topics include manuscript production and the devotional practices of confraternities, as well as the commissioning and composition of sacred works tailored to local liturgical needs and patronage structures. The volume also addresses broader issues such as the pedagogical uses of sacred music, the development of organology in ecclesiastical settings, evolving performance practices, and the aesthetic and theological discourses that informed the liturgical movement. By foregrounding the interaction between sacred music and the wider cultural landscape of early modern and modern Italy, this collection not only deepens our understanding of specific repertoires and practices but also contributes to larger conversations about the place of music in religious experience and institutional, cultural, and religious identity. Richly interdisciplinary in approach, the volume is essential reading for scholars of music history, religious studies, and early modern Italian culture. ‎

‎IMITATION AND ILLUSION, Applied Brocade in the Art of the Low Countries in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries‎

‎, Brepols Publishers, 2011 hard cover, 660 p., 230 x 290 mm, Languages: English. ISBN 9782930054117.‎

‎In the late Middle Ages luxurious textiles were among the most highly prized indicators of status and wealth and an essential requirement of prestigious secular and ecclesiastical life. The depiction of these sumptuous silks and gold brocades was a crucial element in the visual arts, and their realistic and recognizable representation was a challenge to every artist. Painters and polychromers strove to imitate the fashionable fabrics by using applied brocade, a highly sophisticated form of relief decoration that adhered to panel paintings, murals and sculpture and through the play of light and shadow evoked the dazzling illusion of gold-brocaded cloths. Imitation and Illusion is the result of a detailed study of applied brocade in the art of the Low Countries. Eleven fascinating and innovative chapters offer an in-depth examination of the historical, geographical, morphological and technical aspects of this cast tin relief technique. New light is also shed on artistic collaboration and workshop practice in the fifteenth and early sixteenth century. The catalogue includes 86 well known and lesser known panel and wall paintings, sculptures, altarpieces, and architectural elements produced between 1420 and 1540, decorated with applied brocade and providing stunning testimony to the visual variety and material magnificence of late-medieval art. Abundantly illustrated, Imitation and Illusion investigates the artistic production of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Low Countries from an intriguing and original perspective. It represents a significant contribution to our understanding of medieval polychromy and will appeal to everyone whose curiosity is aroused by the illusionistic ingenuity of the medieval artist.‎

‎Chants Secrets. Couverture ornée d’une lithographie d’Emile Picq.‎

‎Lyon, L’Arbalète (Presse à bras de Marc Barbezat), 1945 ; in-8, broché ; 45 pp., (1) f. de justification du tirage, couverture crème rempliée, illustrée d’une lithographie d’Emile Picq.‎

‎Edition en partie originale tirée à 400 exemplaires (N°166), sur pur fil Lafuma, outre deux exemplaires sur vieux Japon. Né à Lyon (1911-1951), Emile Picq, poète, peintre et danseur, fut révélé au grand public par un article enthousiaste de Renaud Icard (Le Progrès du 13 juin 1933) qui le présentait ainsi : "Avez-vous dirais-je aujourd’hui, entendu parler d’Emile Picq ? Retenez ce nom. Dans l’art de la danse à laquelle il s’est consacré, il ira loin". En 1948, Francis Ponge affirme à son tour, péremptoire : "Il faut à Lyon considérer Picq. Lyon, le Lyon moral, a beaucoup à apprendre de ce jeune homme..." (voir la notice de Patrice Béghain dans le "Dictionnaire historique de Lyon") ; ces deux témoins ont raison, il suffit de voir ce dessin de couverture pour comprendre que Picq est un danseur et, ce n’est pas un hasard si Picq, Renaud Icard et Francis Ponge furent les amis de René Leynaud, fusillé pendant la guerre. Dos très légèrement insolé et quelques minuscules piqûres, sinon bel exemplaire de ce recueil de poésies. ‎

‎The theme of the journey in Propertius is investigated in the various possible meanings, from the physical one of movement, to the internal one of the love affair, to the literary one, between emulation and imitation. On the one hand, the poet does not like to travel, because he wants to stay in Rome, and with the woman he loves. On the other, he likes to move in the dimensions of literature, myth and even the afterlife, in an incessant inner journey between images and places in limitless mental spaces.‎

‎Rubens in London. Art and Diplomacy ‎

‎, Brepols Publishers, 2011 hardcover, 205 p., 68 b/w ill. 22 colour ill., 210 x 280 mm, English. ISBN 9781905375042.‎

‎The Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens is probably the most important foreign artist to have worked in England. The story of how this came to be, of what he did when he was in England and what he painted for King Charles I is the story of this book. Charles and his father, the first Stuart monarchs of Great Britain, led and promoted a great wave of interest in the arts, in particular the visual arts, that culminated in Rubens painting nine large canvases to decorate the ceiling of Inigo Jones?s Banqetting Hall, the ceremonial centre of the Court in Whitehall - a monument that is still intact today. It is this cycle, an hitherto unappreciated masterpiece of Baroque state art, that is the focus of this book. How Rubens came to obtain the commission is a tale of international politics and diplomacy in which the artist himself played a significant role. The author relates these complex political relationships and missions with great insight and clarity, and in doing so also describes the cultural and social setting in which Rubens found himself while in London. The illustrations that accompany the text include not only many of Rubens's own paintings and drawings made when he was in London, but also some of the now well-known works by the Italian and North European Renaissance masters that Rubens would have seen in the magnificent art collections of the King and the English aristocracy. Foremost however among the illustrations are the reproductions of the Banqueting Hall ceiling itself: these are mostly in colour, showing each of the three central scenes both complete and with striking details that would be difficult to see in the Hall itself. Also the corner oval painting as well as the long, celebratory, exuberant processions on either side are reproduced in colour and in detail, so that the reader, guided by the author's full descriptions and interpretations, can experience a unique viewing and understanding of Rubens's masterpiece. The Author, Gregory Martin, has been interested in the ceiling paintings of the Banquetting Hall ever since he worked at the National Gallery in the 1960s, when he wrote the catalogue of the Gallery's Flemish paintings. Towards the end of his subsequent career at Christie's, where he was a director concerned with old master paintings, he was commissioned to write the Corpus Rubenianum volume on the ceiling decoration of the Banquetting Hall which was published in 2005. In the present book he returns to the subject, treating it and the related matter of Rubens in London in a way designed to appeal to a wider readership. ‎
