‎The Low Countries are generally considered to be the land of painting. Consequently, sculpture, especially that of the 16th century, has been insufficiently explored. In Moving Sculptures Aleksandra Lipi?ska presents a little-known chapter of the history of Netherlandish sculpture: the serial production of small-scale alabaster reliefs, altarpieces and statuettes in the workshops of Mechelen and Antwerp between c. 1525 and 1650. She gives the reader an insight into the rules of this craft, the specificity of the material, and the marketing methods employed. But the innovative element of this study lies in the fact that Lipi?ska analyses the phenomenon from the perspective of its distant recipients in Central and Northern Europe on the basis of works largely unknown to the broader public.At the Source: Production of the Alabaster Sculpture in the Southern Netherlands 1 Alabaster as a Sculpture Material 17 2 Alabaster in Netherlandish Sculpture from the Late Gothic to the Early Baroque 44 3 Serial Production of Alabaster Sculpture in Mechelen 96 4 The Spread of Alabaster Sculpture from the Low Countries 124 Part 2 At the Destination: Southern Netherlandish Alabaster Sculpture in Central and Northern Europe 5 Altarpieces 143 6 Tombs and Epitaphs 205 7 Exhibits of Real and ?Imagined?

‎Een spiegel op mode en massamedia in ijzersterk fotografisch werk van Cindy Sherman. Het boek bij de eerste Cindy Shermantentoonstelling in de Lage Landen Cindy Sherman (°1954) staat bekend om haar baanbrekend werk in fotografie. Ze verkent thema?s als identiteit, gender en sociale rollen door zichzelf te transformeren in uiteenlopende personages en scènes. Anti-Fashion belicht haar fotografisch werk vanuit een nieuw perspectief, waarbij de focus ligt op de wisselwerking tussen mode en kunst. Haar vele opdrachten voor magazines als Vogue en Harper?sBazaar en haar nauwe samenwerking met beroemde ontwerpers vormen een voortdurende bron van inspiratie. Maar ook omgekeerd beïnvloedt deze hedendaagse kunstenaar de modewereld en geeft ze er belangrijke impulsen aan. Shermans interesse in mode komt op een subversieve manier tot uiting: haar foto?s tonen figuren die allesbehalve aantrekkelijk zijn en daardoor alle conventies van haute couture en de gebruikelijke voorstellingen van schoonheid tegenspreken. Het brede spectrum aan personages toont het kunstmatige en veranderlijke van identiteit, die meer dan ooit een kwestie van keuze lijken te zijn, (zelf)geconstrueerd en fluïde. Deze publicatie verschijnt bij de tentoonstelling Cindy Sherman, die loopt van 28 september 2024 tot 2 februari 2025 in FOMU, Antwerpen.‎

‎A mirror on fashion and mass media in a powerful photographic work by Cindy Sherman. The book accompanying the first Cindy Sherman exhibition in the Low Countries Cindy Sherman (b. 1954) is known for her pioneering work in photography, through which she explores themes of identity, gender and social roles by transforming herself into different personas in a variety of staged scenes. Anti-Fashion approaches her photographic oeuvre from a new perspective, focusing on the interaction between fashion and art. She uses her many commissions for magazines such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and her close collaboration with famous designers as a constant source of inspiration. Conversely, this contemporary artist also continues to influence the aesthetics of the fashion world today, providing essential impulses. Sherman expresses her interest in fashion in a subversive way: her photographs depict people that are anything but desirable, contradicting all conventions of haute couture and the usual representations of beauty. Her wide range of characters shows the artificiality and mutability of identity, which seems more selectable, (self-) constructed and fluid than ever before. Companion publication to the exhibition Cindy Sherman at FOMU (Fotomuseum Antwerpen) from 28 September 2024 until 2 February 2025.‎

‎Languages and Cross-Cultural Exchanges in Renaissance Italy‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 433 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:6 b/w, 8 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503601816.‎

‎Summary Although much work has been done in the field of Renaissance Studies, at present there is no book which offers a comparative overview of the linguistic interaction between Renaissance Italy and the wider world. The present volume is intended to fill this void, representing the first-ever collection of essays that deal with multiple types of language contact and cross-cultural exchanges in and with respect to Renaissance Italy (1300?1600). We bring diverse disciplinary perspectives together: literary scholars, historians, and linguists with different regional expertise; we argue for multilingualism and language contact as products of a period of dynamic change which cannot be fully grasped through a single framework. The contributions present a variety of case-studies by often cross-fertilising their approaches with other disciplinary lenses. This book aims to provide a comprehensive picture of a truly global Renaissance Italy where languages, textual traditions, and systems of knowledge from different geographical areas either combined or clashed. It takes a fresh approach to the history of late medieval and early modern Italy by focusing on East/West linguistic and cultural encounters, transmission of ideas and texts, multilingualism in literature (various genres and various forms of multilingualism), translation practices, reception/adaptation of new knowledge, transculturalism and literary exchanges, and the relationship between languages and language varieties.

‎Curiosa, tel est le nom donné à la section d'une bibliothèque privée consacrée aux ouvrages sur l'érotisme, la pornographie, la sexualité. Et collectionner des livres érotiques, telle est l'une des passions du célèbre bibliophile italien Alessandro Bertolotti. Ce livre est le fruit de son travail de collectionneur. Les plus importants et les plus rares de ces erotica y sont présentés, avec leur couverture et quelques pages intérieures. Ils ne sont pas présentés dans un ordre chronologique, mais suivent un classement thématique : l'héroïne libertine, le couvent bordélique, l'école d'amour ou le sado-masochisme sont quelques-unes des catégories établies par l'auteur pour présenter environ 130 livres, du XVIIe siècle à nos jours, illustrés de gravures, peintures, dessins, photographies ou bandes dessinées.De Sade à Guido Crepax, de Leonor Fini à Robert Mappelthorpe, de Jean de la Fontaine à Georges Bataille, cet ouvrage nous fera parcourir l'infinie variété du désir et du plaisir, et de l'imagination humaine. Né en 1960, Alessandro Bertolotti est metteur en scène pour la télévision italienne (la Rai) depuis 30 ans. Passionné de photographie, il a publié des portraits et des photographies de nus féminins dans les principales revues italiennes. Il est aussi l'auteur de deux ouvrages sur Capri. Ses photographies sont conservées dans les collections de la Bibliothèque nationale de France.‎

‎Botticelli (1445 - 1510) est sans doute l'un des peintres les plus connus de la Renaissance italienne malgré la part de mystère qui entoure sa vie et l'activité de son atelier. Élève prodige de Fra Filippo Lippi (1406-1469), le dernier grand représentant de la peinture du premier Quattrocento, Botticelli développe rapidement une manière qui lui est toute personnelle, une véritable « marque de fabrique » qui lui permet de dominer pour une grande partie de sa carrière le jeu des commandes et de devenir le peintre des madones que la critique a d'abord retenu avant de redécouvrir ses grandes scènes mythologiques et sa folle entreprise que représentent les 92 dessins illustrant la Divine Comédie de Dante. Peintre sophistiqué, écrit Giorgio Vasari, mais également entrepreneur averti, Botticelli passera donc sans relâche de la création géniale, unique, à la production en série où copies et répliques s'alternent et où sa main s'efface pour ne plus apparaître que dans l'idée originale, le design, laissant le soin d'achever l'ouvrage à ses nombreux assistants.Le catalogue d'exposition mettra à l'honneur cette pratique d'atelier, laboratoire foisonnant d'idées et de formation, typique de la Renaissance italienne. Il s'agira de redécouvrir Botticelli dans son rôle de créateur, mais également d'entrepreneur et de formateur. En suivant un ordre chronologique et thématique, ce livre illustrera le développement stylistique personnel de Botticelli, les liens entre son oeuvre et la culture de son temps, ainsi que l'influence qu'il a lui-même exercée sur ses contemporains.‎

‎Marsilius of Padua. Between History, Politics, and Philosophy‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 440 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503601335.‎

‎Summary Marsilius of Padua (c. 1275-c. 1342) was one of the most influential and controversial political thinkers of the Middle Ages. He is best known for his seminal text Defensor Pacis (1324) in which he attacks the papal theory of plenitude of power and defends an idea of political community based on the strict separation of political and religious authority. Marsilius' work lies at the crossroads of different disciplines, ranging from political philosophy to civil and canon law, to medicine. Indeed, he presents an original synthesis of several contemporary themes and traditions such as Aristotelianism, Augustinianism, the debate on Franciscan property, the communal tradition of the Italian city-states, ecclesiology, medicine, and astrology. This edited volume analyses the life and thought of Marsilius of Padua in his own context and beyond. Gathering many of the leading experts in Marsilian studies across different national and linguistic traditions working today, this volume has two main goals. First, it aims to bring together experts who come from distinct fields in order to investigate the many branches of knowledge present in Defensor Pacis without losing sight of Marsilius as a comprehensive theorist. Second, the volume aims to shed new light on one of the most neglected aspects in Marsilian studies: the Marsilian influence, i.e., his impact in the early modern period during the Renaissance, the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation, up to twentieth century.

‎Epidemics and Pandemics. Philosophical Perspectives‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, approx. 328 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:10 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503598925.‎

‎Summary Epidemics, pandemics, contagion, immunity, social distance, zoonosis are just a few of the concepts that have become commonplace in the academic community and in everyday conversation since the outbreak of the Covid-19. This book aims to provide the reader with a philosophical guide to this conceptual vocabulary by investigating the meanings, implications, and history of words related to the current emergency of Covid-19. This book addresses the fundamental anthropological, ethical, and political issues that have come under the spotlight of the public debate (life and death, freedom and authority, fear and protection, poverty and access to medical care). In this context, particular attention is given to the conflict between the scientific discourse on the one hand, and irrational bias, misinformation and fake news on the other. The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak is only the latest episode in a long history of pandemics and epidemics that have constellated human history since its very beginning. Authoritative accounts have made some of these contagious plagues famous (Thucydides' pages immortalizing the Athenian epidemic of the 5th century B.C.; Boccaccio's description of the Black Death; Manzoni's depiction of the Plague ravaging 17th-century Milan). Because a full understanding of the present is not possible without historical inquiry, several contributions in the book explore debates about calamitous phenomena as documented in philosophical literature from Antiquity to 20th-century philosophy.

‎Summary This volume, the first in a new series dedicated to the archaeological and historical landscapes of central Mediterranean Italy, aims to offer a fresh and dynamic new approach to our understanding of central-southern maritime Tuscany during the Roman period. Drawing on research that was initially presented at the first International Mediterranean Tuscan Conference (MediTo) held in Paganico (Grosseto, Italy) in June 2018, and supported by invited papers from other experts in the field, this collection of essays offers the most up-to-date research into Roman and Late Antique landscapes within Tuscany and its broader Mediterranean context, as well as the political, economic, and social networks that developed in this area during the Classical Period. Ultimately, what emerges from this in-depth study of river valleys, urban centres, and coastal settlements is an understanding of a dynamic Roman territory of cities and villages, villas and sanctuaries, minor sites, and manufacturing districts in which the local population fought to establish and maintain connections with the wider Mediterranean.

‎Crusading, Society, and Politics in the Eastern Mediterranean in the Age of King Peter I of Cyprus‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 630 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:38 col., Language(s):English, French. ISBN 9782503598567.‎

‎Summary The King of Cyprus, Peter I of Lusignan (1359-1369), was one of the most fascinating figures in the history of the Latin East and the later crusades. He was involved in European power politics, his crusading activities brought him into conflict with the Turkish beyliks of Anatolia and the Mamluk sultanate of Egypt, and his rule was closely linked with broader developments in the Eastern Mediterranean, such as the decay of Byzantium, the East-West schism, and the beginning of the Ottoman expansion in the Balkans. His adventurous life constitutes a captivating case study of court life, feudal and chivalric ethos, and political culture in the fourteenth century. This volume investigates developments in the Eastern Mediterranean before and during the reign of Peter I from a comparative perspective. It consists of five parts, which treat the political, diplomatic, and ecological context of the crusading movement in the time between the fall of Acre (1291) and the sack of Alexandria (1365), Peter I's crusading policy and the Alexandrian crusade, Cypriot society and court life in the time of Peter I, the situation in Muslim-Turkish Anatolia, the second target of King Peter's crusading policy, and, finally, Byzantium, its encounter with the Turks, the schism of the Churches, and theological trends in the time of the Hesychast Controversy.

‎, Hannibal Books, 2025 Hardcover 209 pages, Illustrated. 29x24.5cm, English text. *new ISBN 9789464941401.‎

‎Magnificent publication on the depiction of Paris by the French impressionists such as Monet, Cassatt, Renoir and Degas In 1867, Claude Monet painted three iconic views of Paris from the balcony of the Louvre, thus firing the starting shot of Impressionism. This book explores these groundbreaking works in detail, alongside a multitude of other Impressionist paintings and drawings. Experts from leading museums around the world show how Paul Cézanne, Gustave Caillebotte, Mary Cassatt and many others also depicted Paris in the midst of a radical transformation. Their artworks transport us to the birth of the French capital as a modern metropolis. They grant us entry to the theatres, parks and boulevards of Haussmann?s Paris, where the bourgeoisie parade their new-found wealth. In a new world dominated by fashion and consumption, the graceful Parisienne emerges as the symbol of this vibrant world city. But behind the facade of light, beauty and romance, political unrest and revolution are in the air. This turbulent period is brought to life in this publication through original photographs, posters, letters and satirical prints. Published to accompany the exhibition New Paris: From Monet to Morisot at Kunstmuseum Den Haag from 15 February until 9 June 2025.‎

‎Nackte, aufreizend dargestellte Frauenkörper, schockierende satanistische Rituale, fantasievoll-opulente Szenerien: Kaum ein Radierer des 19. Jahrhunderts war derart berüchtigt und einflussreich wie der Künstler Félicien Rops (1833?1898). Tätig v. a. in Brüssel und Paris prägten seine immer wieder für Skandale bekannten Graphiken bis nach 1900 mehrere Künstlergenerationen, zu denen u. a. Max Klinger, Alfred Kubin und Otto Dix gehörten. Hinter seinen frivol-obszönen Darstellungen stecken scharfer Witz, Gesellschaftskritik sowie politische Satire. Das Kupferstichkabinett der Hamburger Kunsthalle beherbergt seit 1907 eine umfangreiche Sammlung an Werken des belgischen Symbolisten, die bis heute nahezu unbekannt ist. Die Ausstellung ?Paris ist meine Bibliothek? wird erstmals knapp 100 Blätter aus diesem Konvolut präsentieren. Dies erlaubt es, die von Rops so häufig thematisierten Geschlechterrollen, sozialen Verhältnisse und moralischen Ambivalenzen des 19. Jahrhunderts in den Blick zu nehmen.‎

‎Compilatio singularis exemplorum‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, cxl + 853 pages, Size:155 x 245 mm, Language: Latin. ISBN 9782503593081.‎

‎Summary Die Compilatio singularis exemplorum ist eine Exempelsammlung, die gegen Ende des 13. Jahrhundert von einem anonymen französischen Dominikaner zusammengestellt wurde. Sie enthält neben vielen auch anderweitig breit und variantenreich überlieferten Stoffen einiges sonst nur selten erhaltene oder gänzlich unbekannte Erzählgut. Zudem hebt sie sich von den meisten anderen Exempelsammlungen durch das ihr zugrundeliegende Gliederungsprinzip ab, welches sich an der Dreiteilung der mittelalterlichen Christenheit in Säkularklerus, Regularklerus und Laienstand orientiert: Streng hierarchisch geordnet, werden der Reihe nach Geschichten über die Mitglieder dieser drei Stände erzählt. Von den Päpsten bis hinab zu den Theologiestudenten, von den Äbten und Abtissinnen bis hinab zu den Laienbrüdern und Beginen, von den Kaisern und Königen bis hinab zu den gesellschaftlichen Randexistenzen wird vor uns das ganze Panoptikum der spätmittelalterlichen Gesellschaft entfaltet. Dem so entworfenen Abbild der Menschenwelt werden in den ersten Teilen der Sammlung eine Marienvita, zahlreiche Marienmirakel, Hostienwunder, Kreuzzugsgeschichte und einige Geschichten über die Engel vorangestellt. Lediglich der letzte, vermutlich sekundär hinzugefügte Teil der Sammlung weicht von der Gesamtkonzeption des Werkes ab. Er vereint in sich eine Liste altfranzösischer Sprichwörter nebst deren lateinischen Nachdichtungen, Proben der Vagantenpoesie des Hugo Primas und weitere Verse erbaulichen und unterhaltsamen Inhalts. Der lateinische Text der Sammlung ist stellenweise von altfranzösischen Einsprengseln durchsetzt, die in einigen Fällen das Ausmaß kleinerer Gedichte erreichen. Er wird hier zum ersten Mal vollständig nach allen drei bekannten Überlieferungsträgern, Handschriften des 14. und 15. Jahrhunderts, kritisch herausgegeben.‎

‎Ravenna in the Imagination of Renaissance Art‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 208 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:100 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503583990.‎

‎Summary It is clear that Renaissance artists and their patrons were interested in Ravenna's buildings and their decorations, both before Vasari's negative pronouncements and after them. Contemporary European travelers and diarists have left descriptions of the city's heritage, by then in ruinous condition. What happens if we reinsert this corpus of Ravenna's treasures and their multiple imbrications into our histories of Renaissance art? How can our narratives change if we trace and study an almost forgotten, albeit rich and articulated series of intersections between Ravenna's splendors and ambitious works of art and architecture from early modern Italy? We have ignored a series of visual engagements and imaginative plays with Ravenna's forms, materials, and iconographies, folding the past into the present and the present into the past. These instances of creative imitations and recreations can best be recovered if we focus on the Renaissance production and humanists' accounts of the city's treasures, that is, works in various media and size, to map out an extended dimension of early modern visual culture.

‎Shifting Places: Peter Downsbrough, the Photographs .‎

‎, uni pers leuven, 2011 paperback,Language: English, Series: Lieven Gevaert Series 12, Number of pages: 188 p. Illustrations: 140, Width: 170 cm x Height: 230 cm . ISBN 9789058678720.‎

‎Since the late 1960s Peter Downsbrough (1940) has been an important figure in contemporary art, associated with major international art movements such as minimal art, conceptual art, and visual poetry. In his artistic work he explores various fields including sculpture, architecture, books, film, and photography. This book provides, for the first time, a profound insight into Downsbrough's diverse and complex use of photography within his artistic work over the last 40 years. A substantial essay by Alexander Streitberger discusses the artist's photographic work - which includes single prints, series, postcards, collages, and books - within its aesthetic and historical context. Streitberger relates Downsbrough's work to fundamental issues of photographic practice and discourse such as the photograph as document, the representation of urban space, space-time relations, collage as an aesthetic and political means of expression, the relationship between still and moving image, and the context of presentation. The rich image material - some of which has never been published before - is arranged by the artist himself in order to create a fertile exchange between the topics of the text and his own intervention. Concluding with an exclusive interview with the artist, this book offers a real dialogue between artistic practice and theoretical reflexion. ‎

‎Nicolaes Gillis: Antwerpen 1593 - Haarlem 1630 / Pionier van het Haarlemse voedsel- en bloemstilleven‎

‎, Primavera Pers, 2024 Hardback, 304 pages, Illustrated. 29.5 (hoogte) x 25.3cm, Tekst; Nederlands, Catalogue raisonne. *Nieuw. ISBN 9789059974159.‎

‎NICOLAES GILLIS (Antwerpen 1593 - Haarlem 1630) behoort tot de eerste beoefenaars van het zelfstandige stilleven. Over zijn leven was tot nog toe niet veel bekend, behalve dat hij uit Antwerpen kwam en in Haarlem werkzaam was. Nieuw onderzoek wijst op een gedegen leertijd in Antwerpen, waarna Gillis furore maakte als pionier van het Haarlemse voedsel- en bloemstilleven. In Antwerpen heeft Gillis veel geleerd van Osias Beert; in Haarlem was de kruisbestuiving met Floris van Dijck van belang. De gezamenlijke invloed van Gillis en Van Dijck zou zich uitstrekken naar volgende generaties stillevenschilders. Het oeuvre dat Nicolaes Gillis heeft nagelaten is niet erg groot. Dit boek laat echter zien dat het veelzijdiger en invloedrijker is geweest dan voorheen werd aangenomen. Gillis was niet alleen een schakel tussen Antwerpen en Haarlem, maar ook een echte vernieuwer. Deze eerste monografie met catalogue raisonné is het resultaat van uitgebreid kunsthistorisch onderzoek en speurwerk in archieven. Behalve een overvloedige bron van informatie, vormt het boek een terecht eerbetoon aan Nicolaes Gillis. Drs. Alexander Thijs (1980) heeft na een carrière als tandarts zijn liefde voor Oude Meesters verder ontwikkeld met oog voor historische context, herkomstonderzoek, symboliek en schildertechnieken. Als zelfstandig onderzoeker bestudeerde hij voor de tentoonstelling Ode aan Antwerpen (Utrecht, Museum Catharijneconvent, 2023) een schilderij van Erasmus II Quellinus, Rubens? laatste grote leerling en medewerker. Dit leidde tot een bijdrage aan de tentoonstellingscatalogus Van Antwerpen naar Amsterdam.‎

‎BE - , MER. Paper Kunsthalle, 2018 Softcover, (silver on coated linen) / 192 pages / 28 x 21,6 cm,Languages EN, FR. / FINE ISBN 9789492321701.‎

‎This publication forms the catalogue of three solo-exhibitions of artist Katinka Bock in Paris, London and Toronto that were linked to the work ?Zarba Lonsa? which she created during her residency at Les Laboratoires d?Aubervilliers in Paris in 2016. Particularly interested by the atmosphere of the Quatre-Chemins district where Les Laboratories is located, the artist went to meet merchants to initiate a relationship with them based on the exchange of one of her works for an object of their shop. This gesture was the starting point of a creative process that has unfolded in several forms ? sculptures, installation, films and photos. Renewing the process of this exchange-based relationship in a specific urban context for a new production of works and photographs, a second edition of the project took shape under the title _0_0__0 in June 2017 at Mercer Union in Toronto. To complete the series, a last edition took place at the Siobhan Davies Dance in London under the title Mesonya/ in Fall 2017‎

‎Gods in the House. Anthropology of Roman Housing - II‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 368 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:39 b/w, 80 col., 4 tables b/w., Language(s):English, French. ISBN 9782503601694.‎

‎Summary The archaeological excavations conducted from one end of the Mediterranean zone to the other have illuminated the place of gods in the ritual practices in the dwellings of the Graeco-Roman era. The discovery of multiple artefacts, dedicated spaces, and figurative paintings support new avenues of historical, anthropological, and social reflection with the aim of better understanding domestic religious practices in the polytheistic contexts of antiquity. This collective volume organizes those reflections around three axes. The first axis centres on identifying the deities that were favoured in domestic sanctuaries. Which gods are represented and which are not? The second axis concerns the interrelationships evident within domestic ritual spaces and sanctuaries. The third axis is dedicated to the anthropology of rituals. Lines of inquiry informed by anthropological, social, and phenomenological approaches are assuming ever-greater importance in scholarship on Antiquity. It is from this perspective that the authors explore the role that domestic ritual spaces play in shaping the lived environment.
