Ex-libris manuscrit ancien : Pierre Choulet.Edition originale, rédigée par David Licques, d'après un manuscrit de Madame de Mornay, jusqu'à l'année 1606 et pour es 17 dernières années (jusqu'en 1623), d'après les renseignements fournis par Jean Daillé et par Jules de Meslay et René Chalopin, secrétaires de Mornay (Barbier, II-713 ; Willems, 619).Né à Bulry (Seine et Oise) en 1549, mort à La Forêt sur Sèvre (Deux-Sèvres) en 1623, Philippe Duplessis-Mornay fut un des hommes politiques et religieux des plus considérables de son époque et reste une figure morale de tout premier plan dans l'Histoire de France. Protestant, il parvint rapidement au cercle du pouvoir, échappa de peu à la Saint-Barthélémy et se mit au service de Henri de Navarre, futur Henri IV, qu'il servit avec tout son talent, sa fidélité et sa fougue pendant plus de 20 ans sans avoir une grande reconnaissance en retour. Surnommé "le Pape des Huguenots", Duplessis-Mornay essaya toute sa vie de rapprocher les divers courants du Christianisme sans que son utopie ne puisse même prendre un semblant de réalité.Exemplaire en très bel état.

Le Premier Livre Pastoral.
Paris, , Vanier, , Paris, , Vanier, 1892 ; in-12, broché. EDITION ORIGINALE. C'est le premier recueil du poète. Seule une petite plaquette de 11 pages avait paru un an avant. Tiré à petit nombre sur Alfa ( Talvart et Place, n°2). Maurice Du Plessys ( 1864-1924), qui prétendait descendre des comtes de Flandre venait de Lille par son père, du Languedoc par sa mère. ""Ayant touché aux bords décadents avec Baju et Verlaine, il n'a vogué dans sa barque qu'une fois néophyte de la foi romane, car il était passionné d'ancien langage français"" Clouard. "" Poète il l'a été absolument et exclusivement, produisant peu, publiant moins, retouchant, récrivant ses vers sans trêve et consumant ses efforts, sa vie, au milieu des misères et des maladies, à la poursuite d'une beauté plus pure, plus émouvante, plus riche de sens et d'images. Il vécut dans un songe magnifique et douloureux, laissant une œuvre brève mais précieuse, marquée de force et de fierté, que l'avenir retiendra comme ont été retenues les poésies de Nerval et les Reliques de Jules Tellier "".

Six ans plus tard, lorsqu'elle refait surface, la cro te est myst rieusement devenue un superbe tableau de ma tre, attribu l'entourage de Hans Memling. Comment expliquer cette trange m tamorphose ? Ce livre d monte la strat gie mise au point par Renders pour se constituer, en un temps record, la plus belle collection belge de Primitifs flamands de l'entre-deux-guerres. Il d voile comment le banquier s'associa un homme de l'ombre, le restaurateur Jef Van der Veken, pour remettre en tat des tableaux anciens de faible valeur qu'il d nichait dans de petites collections priv es belges. Il montre enfin comment l'incomparable savoir-faire technique de Van der Veken, alli au g nie financier de Renders, allait conduire l'une des plus magistrales supercheries artistiques du vingti me si cle. Un pi ge dans lequel tomba l'un des principaux dirigeants nazis, Hermann Goering, satrape aveugl par sa m galomanie, qui acquit la collection Renders en bloc et au prix fort. Sans le travail interdisciplinaire d'historiens, d'historiens d'art, de restaurateurs, et l'apport essentiel des laboratoires, cet incroyable jeu de dupes n'aurait pu tre d masqu . Un catalogue raisonn de l'?uvre de Jef Van der Veken est galement publi ici pour la toute premi re fois... plus de 300 tableaux retouch s, restaur s, voire enti rement peints de sa main.

Italian Drawings from the Sixteenth Century,2 VOL
Turnhout, Brepols, 2008 Hardback, XXXIV 628 p., 572 b/w ill. 17 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm. 2 VOLUMES FINE COPY ISBN 9781905375103.
Paintings, sculpture, and classical antiquities are the most valuable resources of any museum, and are the first objects to be published in each museum''s own collection catalogue or online inventory. Collection catalogues, however, have customarily included only a small sample of the riches to be found in Midwestern collections of master drawings. This volume of sixteenth-century drawings has been largely the work of Burton L. Dunbar (University of Missouri-Kansas City), director of the project and a specialist in the arts of northern Europe, and Edward J. Olszewski (Case Western Reserve University), co-editor for the series, a well-known authority on drawings of the Italian Renaissance. This volume covers the sixteenth century, including artists born as a rule between 1480 and 1580, with the exception of Giovanni Baglione (ca. 1573-1644) and the Carracci. This study represents a gathering of drawings from forty institutions between Ohio and Oklahoma based on a census of seventy-five museums and art centers. Jacob Burckhardt?s contention that the Renaissance was, in many respects, an age of paganism is readily belied here by the 471 Italian drawings, the great majority of which are religious subjects. Antiquity provided a veneer beneath which sixteenth century artists could cloak their Christianity to make it seem fresh, reminding believers of the origins of their faith, and reviving the purity of Christian doctrine in its early years. It is no surprise, then, to find numerous drawings of antiquities, and mythologies among the many subjects. A corpus this large can be representative in many ways, offering a cross-section of media, subjects, drawing types, and collectors. Of the 471 Italian drawings scattered across Midwestern America, here we reassemble many that were at one time in one or more prominent collections. Every drawing was examined for the following information: Artist, place of birth and death with dates, biography, title of drawing, date of drawing, dimensions in mm (and in inches), media, institutional credit line, accession number, technical condition, inscriptions, collectors? marks, watermark, provenance, exhibitions, bibliography, comments.

Hercules to Olympus Part XI, 2: Mythological Subjects Hercules to Olympus / 2 volumes.

One remarkable feature of European culture as it developed in the Renaissance was the accommodation it made with ancient paganism. The classical gods and their legends were allegorised, transformed into symbolic figures or emblematic scenes that might accord with Christian morality. At the same time a secular space was created in art for the depiction of the most popular myths, above all the love stories recounted by the ancient poets. These stories were not only attractive in themselves; they offered the opportunity to depict nude figures in narrative action, which the example of antiquity held forth as the highest goal for painting. Rubens was one of the greatest creators of classical allegory; he was also a supreme interpreter of the classical stories. No painter was so at home in the literature of the Greeks and Romans. When he painted for pleasure, which, increasingly in the course of his life, he felt able to do, he used pagan myth to express and celebrate themes of love, beauty and the creative forces of nature, often in wonderfully idiosyncratic ways. At the same time, as a Christian committed to the ideals of the Catholic Reformation, Rubens respected the restrictions generally placed on the depiction of pagan tales. Most of his mythological paintings were made for private settings, for display within houses (including his own) or in the galleries of princes, noblemen and prelates. It is happy accident of history that these splendid paintings are now widely visible in the great museums of the world.
Thinking through Rubens Selected Studies by Arnout Balis.
, Brepols, 2024 Hardcover, Pages: 220 pages,90 x 255mm,Illustrations:18 b/w, 88 col. Language(s):English. ISBN 9781915487285.
Over the course of his life, Arnout Balis (d. 2021) did a lot of thinking about and around Rubens. A principal beneficiary of this was the Corpus Rubenianum, that multi-volume catalogue of the work of the artist to which he devoted so much of his scholarly endeavour ? as author, and, still more, as the most generous of editors. But he also produced wide-ranging, as well as more closely detailed, studies on the artist that were written for a variety of contexts. Arnout Balis was an artist before he was an art historian, and the question of how Rubens channelled his ideas into visual form constantly attracted and intrigued him. He was fascinated, too, by the practicalities of the artist?s method of production, given the enormous output of Rubens?s studio. Not only did he rigorously assemble and analyse every scrap of information about pupils or associates of the master, but he made himself an expert in the work of each of Rubens?s artistic contemporaries. In all his investigations, whether involving the attribution of a painting, an iconographic puzzle or the solution to a historical problem, he took nothing for granted, treating any received idea or initial intuition with due scepticism until it could be shown to stand the test of the evidence, documentary and visual. The present volume shows the Balis method in action. It includes several studies already acclaimed as exemplary, and others which deserve to be more widely known. Five of them are made available here for the first time in English translation.

Elizabeth McGrath recreates the context in which Rubens, who was familiar enough with classical writings to interpret them with originally and wit, worked and casts new light on rarely discussed and misidentified subjects. For Ruben's age, as for the ancient Romans, history was valued for the lessons it taught. Rubens was deeply interested in history, particularly the works of the ancient writers like Ovid, Plutarch and Juvenal, which were full of exemplary figures. Yet unlike many Renaissance artists who merely sought texts they could illustrate, Rubens was familiar enough with classical writings to interpret them with originally and wit - always with an eye for the visually striking aspect. He was thus uniquely qualified to respond to the requirements of particular commissions with exemplary themes like The Continence of Scipio, The Justice of Cambyses, The Devotion of Artemisia and The Courage of Cloelia. Elizabeth McGrath recreates the context in which Rubens worked and casts new light on rarely discussed and misidentified subjects. Also included is a detailed analysis of the tapestry cartoons on the life of Romulus, now in the National Museum of Wales, relating the series to all relevant studies, paintings and tapestries.
