‎Summary La lauda, ovvero la poesia religiosa in volgare, soprattutto nella forma del canto collettivo di lode, di confessione e di supplica, un genere letterario-musicale di sfuggente classificazione. L'interpretazione che la vuole sempre arte popolare, priva di eloquenza formale, contraddetta da numerosi esempi di laude d'autore, da Guittone a Iacopone, da Bianco da Siena a Feo Belcari, da Leonardo Giustinian a Lorenzo de' Medici, di profonda raffinatezza intellettuale. Dopo la nascita in Italia centrale e settentrionale nel xiii secolo, nel quadro dei moti popolari penitenziali e alleluiatici e dell'espansione degli ordini mendicanti, la lauda non smette di accompagnare la storia della civilt italiana, generando una tradizione ininterrotta che interseca, nella molteplicit delle sue forme, la storie della letteratura, della musica e della spiritualit . Laude liriche e laude drammatiche, di corte e di piazza, meditative e pubbliche: la lauda si riveste d'abiti sempre nuovi, assecondando lo spirito mutevole dei tempi, capace d'intercettarne i gusti e le aspirazioni senza tradire la propria identit . Questo studio riannoda i fili della straordinaria storia della lauda, per apprezzarne la natura multimediale e proteiforme e la capacit dare voce anche a culture "di margine", dalla spiritualit dei laici a quella delle donne, costituendo una delle pi significative eredit consegnate dalla cultura medievale all'et moderna.

‎Gio Ponti Fascination for ceramics ‎

‎, Silvana Editoriale, 2011 Softcover, 160 pages illustrations, 23,9 x 17,3 x 1,5 cm.( book = new in cellophane ) ISBN 9788836620647.‎

‎One of the last century?s leading architects and industrial designers, Gio Ponti (1891?1979) was at the helm of Italy?s massive design renaissance in the years following World War Two, becoming particularly celebrated for his incredibly lightweight ?Superleggera? (?Superlight?) chairs of the late 1950s. Ponti initially studied architecture but abandoned it upon graduation to take up a position as art director at the Milanese ceramics manufacturer, Richard-Ginori. He remained at the company for the rest of the decade, designing ceramic, porcelain and majolica vases, bowls, figurines and trays that infused a Wiener Werkst tte elegance with his own love of visual storytelling. Ponti embellished his works with images of shapely women enveloped by tufts of clouds or resting upon classical architecture, animals in flight, and boats sailing upon rough, wave-filled seas. This volume appraises Ponti?s ceramic oeuvre for the first time.‎

‎Loanwords and Native Words in Old and Middle Icelandic. A Study in the History and Dynamics of the Icelandic Medieval Lexicon, from the Twelfth Century to 1550‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 332 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 5 col., 36 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503598154.‎

‎Summary Anyone familiar with the Modern Icelandic language will know that the country's policy is to avoid borrowing lexemes from other languages, and instead to draw on their own vocabulary. This often results in the formation of a word pair, consisting of a loanword and its respective native equivalent, as the process of borrowing systematically eludes the tight tangles of language policy. But how did this phenomenon develop in the Middle Ages, before a purist ideology was formed? This volume offers a unique analysis of a previously unexplored area of Old Norse linguistics by investigating the way in which loanwords and native synonyms interacted in the Middle Ages. Through a linguistic-philological investigation of texts from all medieval Icelandic prose genres, the book maps out the strategies by which the variation and interplay between loanwords and native words were manifested in medieval Iceland and suggests that it is possible to identify the same dynamics in other languages with a comparable literary tradition. In doing so, new light is shed on language development and usage in the Middle Ages, and the gap between case-study and general linguistic theory is bridged over.

‎Reading Dante with Images: A Visual Lectura Dantis‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2021 Hardback, 416 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:8 b/w, 224 col., Language: English. ISBN 9781912554508.‎

‎Summary This volume contains an unprecedented meeting of two major traditions, each of which are forms of careful engagement with Dante's Commedia: the Lectura Dantis, and the illustrations of this work. The Lectura Dantis, initiated by Giovanni Boccaccio in the fourteenth century, consists of a canto by canto study of Dante's poem. The history of Commedia illustration has equally deep roots, as illuminated manuscripts of the text were being produced within decades of the work's completion in 1321. While both of these traditions have continued, mostly uninterruptedly, for more than six hundred years, they have never been directly brought together. In this volume, Dante scholars take on a single canto of the Commedia of their choosing, reading not just the text, but also exploring the illustrations of their selected text to form multifaceted and multi-layered visual-textual readings. In addition to enlivening the Lectura Dantis, and confronting the illustrated tradition of the poem in a new fashion, these studies present a variety of approaches to studying not just the Commedia but any illustrated literary work through a serious inquiry into the words themselves as well as the images that these words have inspired.

‎, Hirmer / Kunstforum Wien, 2019 Hardcover 239 pages; Deutsch. 240 Seiten, 200 Abb. (davon 200 farbig). 24,5 x 26,4 cm. 1,5 kg. ISBN 9783777431987.‎

‎Pierre Bonnard (1867?1947) ist einer der geheimnisvollsten Maler des Postimpressionismus. In ber 100 Beispielen von 1900 bis 1947 wird die Vielfalt seines Werks vorgestellt: von den fr hen, im Geiste der Nabis entstandenen Arbeiten bis zu den sp ten, rein aus Farbe aufgebauten Kompositionen, die bis an die Grenze zur Abstraktion gehen. Der Band verdeutlicht die Entwicklung des herausragenden Koloristen zum Meister der Moderne. Bonnards Bilder, komponiert aus den subtilen Mitteln der Farbe, bleiben der Gegenst ndlichkeit verhaftet. Das raffinierte Spiel der Farbwerte ist f r ihn Mittel, um eine ? berwindung der Natur durch die Kunst? zu finden. In seinen farbenfrohen Landschaften und intimen Szenen scheint er die Harmonie der Natur zu preisen ? und stellt sie durch seine differenzierte Auseinandersetzung mit ihr wieder und wieder in Frage. Bonnard wird neu und im Kontext seiner Zeit verstanden. Die Auseinandersetzung mit seinen Malerfreunden und seine Reaktionen auf das politische Geschehen pr sentieren ihn als aktuellen K nstler des 20. Jahrhunderts.‎

‎Carolingian Experiments‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 298 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:17 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503594101.‎

‎Summary Carolingian Experiments presents essays exploring how the Carolingians (ca. 700-ca. 900 CE) ? a regime known especially for concerns over imperial power, order, and moral correction ? fostered a remarkable era of experimentation in medieval Europe. The scholars featured here ask new questions and conduct their own methodological experiments to uncover some of the many ways that people innovated within the Carolingian world. To that end, numerous themes are covered in this volume: culture and society, family and politics, religion and spirituality, literature and historiography, law and hierarchy, epistemology and science. This array of scholarly experiments reveals some of the range and depth of Carolingian invention. Furthermore, the essays consider how Carolingian innovation can be found in places both more and less known today, employing novel approaches to unearth some unexpected, even uncanny phenomena. This volume consequently offers a defamiliarizing view of the Franks, unveiling them as a people whose seemingly straightforward imperialism and reform were effective precisely because they stimulated and nurtured potent, creative impulses. In fact, one might argue that the Carolingian world's conservative, moralizing authorities ? despite, or perhaps at times because of, their determination to instil correct thought and behaviour in their subjects ? fostered many varieties of experimentation. Collectively, the authors of this volume seek to inspire new thinking about the Carolingians, while modelling alternative approaches and potential avenues for future research. Carolingian Experiments overall encourages readers to see that much remains unexplored, unknown and even unexpected about the Carolingians and their world.

‎Manuscripts of Leo the Great?s Letters. The Transmission and Reception of Papal Documents in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 516 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:36 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503589664.‎

‎Summary This book explores the transmission of the letters of Leo the Great (pope, 440-461). After setting out the contours of Leo's papacy and the factors contributing to the sending and subsequent transmission of his letters to posterity, it deals in detail with around sixty collections of Leo's letters and over 300 manuscripts ranging in date from the sixth up to the sixteenth century. Each period of the Middle Ages is introduced as the context for collecting and copying the letters, and the relationships between the letter collections themselves are traced. The result is a survey of the impact of Leo the Great upon Latin Christendom, an impact that was felt in theology and canon law, especially from the age of the Emperor Justinian to the Council of Ferrara-Florence, and moving through the major monasteries of Europe from Corbie to Clairvaux. At every cultural Renaissance, Leo was a presence, being copied, rearranged, interpreted, and eventually printed. This book is a testament to the legacy of one of the mid-fifth century's most influential figures.

‎PLEURANTS Alabaster Mourners for the Tomb Monument of Jean de Berry (1340-1416) ‎

‎, Phoebus Focus XXVI, 2022 PB, 210 x 148 mm, 88 pages., EN edition., Phoebus Focus XXVI ISBN 9789464366228.‎

‎Medieval sculptures are notoriously hard to study. So often divorced from their original context and function by centuries of destruction, alteration or just neglect, the subtleties of their aesthetic impact, their meaning and their symbolic complexity are at times almost completely hidden from us, to be only loosely gleaned or reconstructed. Fortunately, this is not the case with the two beautiful pleurants - or mourners - in the collection of The Phoebus Foundation. This edition of Phoebus Focus takes you on a journey of questions and discoveries: who were these men, for whom were they made, and why? Matthew Reeves tells the story of one of France's richest princes, Jean de Berry (1340-1416), his profound love of art and the wondrous ways in which sculpture can be used to commemorate, move us to prayer, and serve political ends.‎

‎iddeleeuwse sculpturen zijn notoir moeilijk te bestuderen. Al te vaak is hun oorspronkelijke context en functie door eeuwen van slijtage, veranderingen of verwaarlozing verloren gegaan. Hierdoor ontgaat hun esthetische impact, betekenis of symbolische complexiteit ons soms volledig en kunnen nuances er slechts met moeite uit worden afgeleid of gereconstrueerd. Gelukkig is dit niet het geval voor de twee prachtige pleurants - of treurfiguren - in de collectie van The Phoebus Foundation. Deze Phoebus Focus neemt je mee op een queeste vol vragen en ontdekkingen: wie waren deze mannen, voor wie werden deze beelden gemaakt en waarom? Matthew Reeves vertelt het verhaal van een van Frankrijks rijkste prinsen, Jan van Berry, zijn intense liefde voor de kunst en de manieren waarop beeldhouwkunst gebruikt werd om te herdenken, tot gebed aan te sporen en politieke doeleinden te dienen. Matthew Reeves is directeur van een van 's werelds meest toonaangevende galerie n voor Europese, middeleeuwse kunst. Hij co rdineert het internationale tentoonstellingsprogramma van de galerie en publiceert artikels en tentoonstellingscatalogi over diverse onderwerpen, waaronder glas-in-lood ramen, textiel, keramiek, sculptuur en paneelschilderkunst uit de late middeleeuwen en de renaissance. Hij is gespecialiseerd in het artistieke mecenaat van hertog Jan van Berry (1340-1416), en meer bepaald in zijn Sainte-Chapelle, het bijhorende decoratieve programma en het grafmonument.‎

‎Christoph Steinmeyer : The Long Goodbye‎

‎, Snoeck Verlaggesellschaft 2008, 2008 Paperback, 50 seiten , Deutsch, in guten zustand, . ISBN 9783936859805.‎

‎The D?sseldorf artist born in 1967 and who also resides in Berlin belongs to a generation of painters who question the authenticity of the medium as much as the provenance of its pictorial compositionality. Since the mid-1990s Christoph Steinmeyer has devoted himself to a magical symbolism, which leads both his subject matter and style of his painting into an area of hybridism, yet creating a dangerous but well-founded liaison. One might say that the surfaces of the luxurious interiors or the surfaces with their synthetic effect or the bold, colour-field still lifes of flowers look as though they have been melted in the flame of a Bunsen Burner. However, they aren't amalgamations in which mass-media images are merely transformed into painting or the ?stories? are faded out, but rather the artist refers to collective ideas of medially transmitted patterns and models that he transfers into a new and likewise imagined ideal type. nIn the most recent group of works this brand of magical symbolism takes an astonishing turn. The film sets that are made up of scenery from different scenes are embellished with symbolic props. These pointed image-within-an image constellations interrupt the time-space continuum of the interiors after having been additionally charged with titles such as ?Gilda?, ?Rebecca? or ?Violet?. Christoph Steinmeyer counters the apparent authenticity of his filmic black and white painting with grisalle, which upon closer inspection reveals a fine and detailed chromaticism. This style of painting convulses the beautiful appearance of the compositions like peristalsis- as if we were dealing with dream sequences that can only occur in films or indeed in the way Christoph Steinmeyer shows them to us. It is indeed a rarity to find such fantastical potential in painting. nThe book complete with its unusual format is the first publication to date on Christoph Steinmeyer's work.‎

‎DE VLAAMSE MEESTERS Van Eyck tot Bruegel.‎

‎, ludion, 2023 HB, 290 x 235 mm, 280 pagina's, 200 illustraties,NL edition nieuw!. ISBN 9789493039919.‎

‎Het rijk ge llustreerde kunstboek De Vlaamse meesters: van Van Eyck tot Bruegel beslaat bijna anderhalve eeuw schilderkunst, van omstreeks 1430 tot de dood van Pieter Bruegel de Oude in 1569. In die tijdspanne kwam de schilderkunst in de Nederlanden tot een ongekende bloei. De Vlaamse Meesters: Van Van Eyck tot Bruegel biedt een representatief overzicht van de belangrijkste en meest invloedrijke schilders van die periode en van alle schildergenres die ontwikkeld of vernieuwd in de regio. Soms, als iets heel vertrouwd lijkt, verlies je uit het oog wat het zo bijzonder maakt: Vlaamse Meesters. Van van Eyck tot Bruegel wil dit effect tegengaan en opent opnieuw de ogen voor de revolutie die in de 15e en 16e eeuw in de Lage Landen plaatsvond en de koers van de Europese kunst bepaalde. In 48 rijkelijk ge llustreerde analyses onderzoekt Matthias Depoorter hoe schilders als Van Eyck, Van der Weiden, Massys, Bosch en Bruegel ongekende hoogten bereikten en tot op de dag van vandaag met recht als vernieuwers worden beschouwd. De bepalende factor was hun perfectionering en beheersing van de olieverftechniek, evenals hun baanbrekende aandacht voor optische lichteffecten. De nieuwe technische mogelijkheden boden een andere manier van kijken naar de wereld en uiteindelijk een nieuwe manier van schilderen. Niet minder vernieuwend was het detailniveau. Deze schilders kenden elkaars werk door en door - dit boek toont de fundamentele artistieke kruisbestuiving. Een must-read voor iedereen die opnieuw verliefd wil worden op de oude meesterwerken. MATTHIAS DEPOORTER (*1980) is schrijver en kunsthistoricus. Hij was een van de curatoren van de baanbrekende tentoonstelling Van Eyck: een optische revolutie in het Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Gent en co rdineerde de bijbehorende wetenschappelijke publicatie. In deze publicatie onderzoekt hij wat deze schilderijen zo nieuw en bijzonder maakte. Deze benadering is zowel genre- als thematisch, en onthult iets over de verschillende artistieke stijlen, formats, functies en stromingen, evenals de artistieke en maatschappelijke context waarin ze zijn ontstaan. Deze schilders kenden elkaars werk goed. Ze leenden regelmatig elementen van een collega en deden er iets nieuws mee. Artistieke kruisbestuiving was fundamenteel.‎

‎Canon Law and Christian Societies Between Christianity and Islam. An Arabic Canon Collection From al-Andalus and its Transcultural Contexts‎

‎Summary The unique Arabic version of the Iberian canon law code 'Collectio Hispana', preserved in a mid-eleventh-century manuscript of the Royal Library of El Escorial, has been deemed ?the most distinguished and characteristic? work of medieval Andalusi Christian writing. It represents an exceptional source witness to the internal legal organisation of Christian communities in Muslim-dominated al-Andalus as well as to their acculturation to Islamicate environments. Yet, the Arabic collection has received only little scholarly attention so far. This volume presents the results of a recent interdisciplinary research project on the Arabic canon law manuscript, flanked by contributions from neigbouring fields of research that allow for a comparative assessment of the substantial new findings. The individual chapters in this volume address issues such as the origins of the Arabic law code and its sole transmitting manuscript, its language and translation strategies, its source value for both the persistence and transformation of ecclesiastical institutions after the Muslim conquest, or the law code's position in the judicial practice of al-Andalus. The volume brings together the scholarly expertise of distinguished specialists in a broad range of disciplines, e.g. history, Arabic and Latin philology, medieval palaeography and codicology, archaeology, coptology, theology and history of law.

‎Transcultural Approaches to the Bible. Exegesis and Historical Writing across Medieval Worlds‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, viii + 254 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:19 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503592855.‎

‎Summary This volume, the first in the new series Transcultural Medieval Studies, draws together scholars from around the world to offer new insights into the importance and role of the Bible across the varied cultures of medieval Europe. The papers gathered here take a comparative and multidisciplinary approach to the subject, focusing on the biblical background of perceptions of the religious and cultural 'Self ' and 'Other' in the Mediterranean, in Latin Europe, and in the Baltic. In doing so, the contributions identify commonalities and differences of the 'uses of the Bible' in these various worlds, combining and contrasting studies on Bible manuscripts, their exegesis, and their use for historical writing.

‎British Royal Weddings: From the Stuarts to the Early Twentieth Century‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, xv + 367 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:32 b/w, 40 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503596969.‎

‎Summary This generously illustrated volume is the first in-depth study of the history and ceremonial at British royal weddings from the late sixteenth century onwards. With its over 70 illustrations it is also the most complete pictorial record of these ceremonies. Focusing on the actual wedding service, it follows the three main aspects of the choice of venue, the structure of the ceremonial, and especially the music of these events up to the early twentieth century. Being so closely linked with the performance of these ceremonies, music presents itself as an intriguing aspect for discussing the ceremonial details. Since the eighteenth century, at least some royal weddings have also been notable musical occasions and since Victorian times they have influenced the choices at other weddings. Many newly discovered sources have allowed for new insights and conclusions about the historical facts and interpretations of these ceremonies. Overall, this study presents the most complete account to date of how these magnificent occasions were celebrated. With its holistic approach and interdisciplinary character, replete with numerous illustrations and tables, this study is an extensive resource for historians and musicians alike - and for all those with a wider range of interest in British royal ceremonies. A second volume "British Royal Weddings: The House of Windsor" is scheduled to appear in 2023 by the same author and is the first in-depth discussion of how the British Royal Weddings since 1919 have been celebrated.

‎Summary The collaboration between Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) and Sebastiano del Piombo (1485-1547), is among the most extraordinary artistic partnerships of the early modern period. It produced works of startling originality, crucial to the development of the so-called High Renaissance in the first decades of the sixteenth century. It was arguably Michelangelos most creative collaboration, helping him refine motifs and narrative strategies, and it proved determining for Sebastianos development of a monumental, spiritually invested idiom whose influence became a touchstone for religious art deep into the following century, and for principles of painterly abstraction beyond. Inspired by the exhibition Michelangelo & Sebastiano, mounted at The National Gallery in London in 2017, this book unites a group of international scholars in reflection on the two artists, their collaboration and its wider significance.

‎The 80s vibrate with energy. In their whirlwind, a generation of creators has emerged, carrying arts of living different from those of the past: Mark Brazier-Jones, Franck Evennou, Elizabeth Garouste, Marco de Gueltzl, Hubert Le Gall, Thierry Peltrault, Laurence Picot, Andrea Salvetti or even Claude de Wulf. In order to give flesh to this period in France, this book has collected the words of a witness of its actors, Elisabeth Delacarte whose Avant-Sc ne gallery is one of the few to have survived until today. For almost 40 years, it has defended singular artists who have become essential in their field. From France to England, Italy or Russia, the elaborate portraits dedicated to them evoke the atmosphere and the news that accompany them. Each embodies the importance of artistic craftsmanship, and all take particular paths in order to express universal emotions in their own way. The great subjects of today are declined along their course. We discover upcycling ahead of time with the fiery Marco de Gueltzl and the beginnings of the libertine punk Mark Brazier-Jones, the vital need for nature in the works of Frank Evennou or the sculptor chef Andrea Salvetti, the romanticism advocated by Laurence Picot, the joyful poetry of Elizabeth Garouste, the humorous fantasy of Hubert Le Gall. They have in common to have changed their lives to devote themselves to art furniture. This is also the case of Elisabeth Delacarte. His personal point of view illuminates from the inside the changes in the decorative arts at the end of the 20th century. Staging the productions of each artist, decoration projects punctuate the book and leave room for contemplation.‎
