‎SEEDS OF KNOWLEDGE : Early Modern Illustrated Herbals ‎

‎, Silvana Editoriale, 2023 Hardcover, 528 pages, ENG, 300 x 250 x 45 mm, NEW, over 600 illustrations in fine colours, . ISBN 9788836646869.‎

‎Seeds of Knowledge highlights the collection of 15th to 17th-century European printed herbals of Dr. Peter Goop (Liechtenstein). Herbals were highly illustrated, critical texts to doctors and lay healthcare providers that included both the folkloric and medicinal uses of plants. The text and illustrations were repeatedly refined as the medicinal benefits of a plant's use were more clearly under-stood and the style of illustration tended towards higher degrees of naturalism. These books were working manuals and frequently annotated by readers with notes of herbal recipes/medicines or other uses not found in the printed text. Dr. Goop's collection is one of the most extensive in private hands. Using the Morgan's 10th-century manuscript of Dioscurides' De materia medica (MS M.652) as a centerpiece, this Thaw Gallery exhibition will explore developments in the understanding of the healthful and healing properties of plants, as Europe moved away from medicinal folklore towards an increased understanding of the natural world.‎

‎Genomineerd voor de Pulitzer Price. Waarom vermoordden in het jaar 44 voor Christus een kliekje Romeinse senatoren hun collega-aristocraat en heerser Julius Caesar? Persoonlijke vendetta's? Politieke afrekening? Strijd tussen conservatieven en hervormers? Wat het antwoord ook zij, met de moord op Julius Caesar startte een lange burgeroorlog. De moord betekende het einde van de toenmalige democratie en luidde het begin in van een eeuwenlange absolutistische heerschappij in Europa. Het was dus niet zomaar een moord. Een boek over grootgrondbezit en doodseskaders, over meesters en slaven, over stamvaders, patriarchaat en onderdrukte vrouwen, over kapitalisten die zichzelf verrijken, over huisjesmelkers en oproerkraaiers. Het gaat over corrupte politici, verkiezingen uit geldbejag en politieke moorden op leiders die de kant van het volk kozen. Dit boek is het relaas van de inspanningen van het volk om zich te verdedigen tegen de misbruiken van rijken en tirannen. Een nieuw perspectief op een tijd die helemaal niet zo vervlogen is als het wel lijkt.‎

‎Cindy Wright : Still Well‎

‎, Borgerhoff & Lamberigts / MER, 2023 Hardcover, 252 pages, ENG.,300 x 300 mm, NEW, illustrated in color. ISBN 9789464778557.‎

‎Cindy Wright creates large-scale oil paintings on canvas. At first glance the monumental still life paintings appear to be photo-realistic, using the photographic methods of cropping compositions and intense source lighting. But on closer inspection, the range of mark-making and painterly applications become astoundingly apparent. Wright?s work echoes the morbid tradition of ?vanitas? from the Dutch Old Masters of the 16th and 17th Century. Between beauty and decay, archetypal symbols like the human scull, rotten fruit, raw flesh, and dead animals traditionally represent the transience of life. Within a contemporary context, these symbols may refer to mass consumption or the exploitation of natural resources. However, this is not essentially the artist?s intent. Rather than being shocking or moralising, the images evoke a sense of peacefulness, silence, and fragility. Wright?s subjects are taken from her immediate surroundings and are transformed into iconic images for our times. This second edition of the catalog is published as a reprint collecting a selection of paintings from the last 20 years up to 2023, and exists alongside the artist?s exhibition part of the INBOX program at MHKA Museum in Antwerp.‎

‎Snippy World of New Yorker Fashion Artist Michael Roberts‎

‎"Michael Roberts is the Jean Cocteau of the fashion world," wrote the celebrated New Yorker editor Tina Brown in 1997, welcoming her new fashion editor to the most prestigious magazine in the world. Having already served for many years as a style editor (The London Sunday Times, Vanity Fair) and having produced numerous illustrations, photographs, paintings and columns of fashion criticism for various media, Roberts had already had his name coupled with Cocteau's, but his striking visual style is collected here for the first time. From evocative pen-and-ink sketches to acrylic paintings to intensely witty New Yorker covers created from cut paper, these works capture the fads, foibles and fashionability of our times. Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of American Vogue, in her introduction to "this beautiful book" calls them "fiendishly accurate satire." And the shoe guru Manolo Blahnik writes, "His drawings grasp fashion moments like a photo could never do." That a major part of the book was created through the painstaking method of paper collage especially appeals to the internationally famed fashion designer John Galliano. He writes, "I have avidly collected his work, along with doing my own collages, for years, and I am honored to be a part of this book."‎

‎Summary Nineteenth- and early twentieth-century advertisements for pianos, pianists, merchants, music publishers and, above all, for domestic purchases are full of images employed for commercial rather than cultural purposes. This volume examines the commercial characters and significances of how pianos were pictured between the early days of 'modern' marketing to today. During the early 1920s, piano sales peaked in the United States; nevertheless, pianos have continued to be sold even as radios, record players, television sets and electric keyboards increasingly replace them as must-have sources of entertainment and improvement. The market for player pianos, although comparatively short-lived, also provided manufacturers and retailers with opportunities to depict pianos and pictures.

‎Mit Sphaera und Astrolab. 'Die Entdeckung der Natur' in s dostdeutschen Kl stern im hohen Mittelalter‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 432 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:30 b/w, 21 col., 16 tables b/w., 5 maps b/w, Language: German. ISBN 9782503598901.‎

‎Summary This book offers a study of the scientific landscape of medieval Bavaria during the higher Middle Ages. Based on manuscripts as well as medieval library catalogues, it tries to quantify the so-called 'Discovery of Nature' and tries to analyse it from the perspective of a monastic landscape in which the arrival of the astrolab in the 11th century marked a significant turning point. By introducing new methods and questions into the traditional body of Carolingian astronomy, monastic scholars of this area played a decisive, albeit neglected, role in the development of medieval astronomy. The book reconstructs the studies of the monk Wilhelm von Hirsau who tackled some of the most urgent problems of astronomy of his time: correcting the dates of the solstices and finding latitude. These studies are then placed in the broader development of medieval science, particularly focusing on his sphaera, an instrument that has often been wrongly understood as a teaching device. In contrast, the present study argues that this instrument is not only William's lost astronomical clock, but also the first example for stationary observational astronomy in medieval Europe as well as an important milestone towards the empirical astronomy of future centuries. Dieses Buch untersucht die Wissenslandschaft des deutschsprachigen S dostens im hohen Mittelalter. Auf Grundlage berlieferter Handschriften und mittelalterlicher Bibliothekskataloge wird die sogenannte ?Entdeckung der Natur' quantifiziert und aus der Perspektive einer Klosterlandschaft analysiert, in der die Ankunft des Astrolabs im 11. Jahrhundert einen bedeutenden Wendepunkt markierte. Durch die Einf hrung neuer Methoden und Fragen in den tradierten Wissenskosmos des fr hen Mittelalters spielten die monastischen Gelehrten dieses Raumes eine entscheidende, wenngleich vernachl ssigte Rolle f r die Entwicklung der mittelalterlichen Astronomie. Das Buch rekonstruiert die Studien des M nchs Wilhelm von Hirsau, der sich mit einigen der dr ngendsten Problemen der Astronomie seiner Zeit befasste: der Neudatierung der Sonnenwendepunkte sowie der Suche nach dem eigenen Breitengrad. Vor allem wird seine Sphaera in den Blick genommen, ein Instrument, das bislang vor allem als Lehrger t gedeutet wurde. Im Gegensatz dazu vertritt die vorliegende Studie die These, dass es sich bei diesem Instrument nicht nur um Wilhelms verlorene astronomische Uhr handelt, sondern um das erste berlieferte Beispiel eines station ren Observatoriums im mittelalterlichen Europa und damit um einen wichtigen Meilenstein in der Geschichte der empirischen Astronomie.

‎masterwork of Danish architect and furniture designer Arne Jacobsen in the centre of Copenhagen, on the sixth floor of the Royal Hotel, a single room preserves a microcosm of the definitive masterwork of Danish architect and furniture designer Arne Jacobsen (1902-71). Room 606 is the last surviving interior of the SAS House: an unparalleled example of modern architecture and design, completed in 1960. Jacobsen was one of the outstanding architects of the twentieth century, throughout his career, creating complete settings for daily life and dissolving the boundaries between architecture, interior and industrial design. The chapters are organized thematically: each consists of three sections that together look at Room 606 as a microcosm of the SAS House, reconstruct the original building, and trace the connections between Jacobsen's masterpiece and his other works - from whole buildings to household objects.‎

‎Late Medieval Cistercian Monastery of Fountains Abbey, Yorkshire. Monastic Administration, Economy, and Archival Memory‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, 208 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:17 b/w, 18 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503567716.‎

‎Summary Founded in 1132, Fountains Abbey became the wealthiest English Cistercian monastery - yet relatively little analysis has been made of its surviving records to investigate how its wealth was controlled and sustained. This book deals with this secular aspect of the religious community at Fountains, investigating in particular the way in which prosaic business records were compiled and redacted. It traces the transmission of data from original charters through successive versions of cartularies, and in the process establishes the existence of a previously unknown manuscript. It also reveals how abbots in the fifteenth century interacted with and adapted the records in their care. In this process, two quite different aspects of monastic life are uncovered. First, it sheds new light on the history of Fountains Abbey through the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, amongst other things how it responded to the turmoil of the Black Death, and discloses for the first time the allegiance of one abbot to the Lancastrian cause during the Wars of the Roses. Second, it reveals the worldly skills shown by the community of Fountains that were successfully applied to exploit the monastery's large landholdings across Yorkshire, mainly through wool and agricultural production, but also through fisheries, tanning, mining, and metalworking. The economic success of these activities enabled the abbey to become a prosperous institution which rivalled the wealth of the aristocracy. This book addresses recordkeeping and archival memory at one, Cistercian, monastery - albeit a well-endowed and prosperous one - in the north of England. However, its treatment of archival sources could be extended to other houses in different geographical locations and different orders, to enable comparisons between monasteries dealing with economic change and social and political upheaval in the later Middle Ages.

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 226 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language(s):English, Latin. ISBN 9782503605685.‎

‎Summary Peter of Ireland (Petrus de Ybernia) was born sometime around the beginning of the thirteenth century in Ireland, probably of a Norman family. He probably left Ireland aged around age 15 to pursue his studies abroad. His interest in medical and scientific questions would suggest a stay at Oxford, whereas his approach to logic would suggest a Parisian influence. By the middle of the century he was Professor of Logic and Natural Philosophy at the University at Naples. Peter is perhaps one of the best known of medieval Irish thinkers on the continent owing to the fact that he was held to be the teacher of the young Thomas Aquinas at Naples University from 1239-44. As such, it would be he who, in all likelihood, first introduced Thomas to the study of Aristotle and perhaps also to the commentaries of Avicenna and Averroes. The works presented here date from at least a decade later, and relate to lectures given at Naples in the 1250s and 1260s. The extent to which he was held in respect by his contemporaries is to be seen in his solution (determinatio) to the disputed question on the origin of the design of an animal's body which was held before King Manfred around 1260. It was, perhaps the culmination of a famous scholarly career.

‎Summary The proceedings of the S.I.E.P.M. Colloquium at Maynooth published in this volume shed new light on the development of the perception of the other within the different philosophical, religious, and cultural traditions in the late Middle Ages as well as the early modern era in both Christian and Islamic thought. The contributions consider not only the theological background but also the philosophical presuppositions of the concepts which were used to develop various apologetic writings and theological treatises that dealt with questions of cultural and religious difference. The rich and diverse medieval and early modern tradition of engaging with the other and the arguments for or against toleration on topics that are equally diverse are discussed with reference to both the Western and Eastern Christian tradition, to the contributions of Islamic Thinkers on the topic, and to the flourishing tradition of a constructed interreligious dialogue such as that between Christians and Jews. Finally, this book includes a number of important investigations exploring the relationship between toleration and rights not only within Europe but also in the lands of the so-called new world and its indigenous peoples where arguments of exclusion were grounded intheories such as grace-based dominium.

‎Anatomical Studies 1./ Study heads and anatomical studies / Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard , vol. 20.1‎

‎The central theme of Rubens?s paintings is the human figure, often represented nude or partially clothed and involved in dramatic action. As a history painter, Rubens?s acclaimed skill in rendering the human body whether male or female, lean or fleshy, mature in years or young, animated or lifeless, vigorous or diseased, heroic or cowering, sensuous or decrepit, idealised or blemished and imperfect enabled him to vie with the greatest artists ever known, while creating increasing demand for his work among Europe?s intellectual, cultural, religious and political lite. His mastery in depicting human figures and their dynamic movements suggests that he followed the example of Leonardo da Vinci (1452?1519), Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475?1564) and other Italian artists he admired, who made extensive studies of human anatomy. As pointed out by two recent perceptive scholars, however, the robust, muscular male nudes in action who appear in so many of Rubens?s narrative paintings are often anatomically inaccurate. Moreover, and as will become clear in this volume, Rubens?s approach to anatomical study was not closely similar to that of any of his forbears. In many respects his ways of working are comparable to those of Michelangelo, who used the knowledge he acquired through dissection not to pursue verisimilitude but to invent the anatomy of his figures according to his own idea of physical beauty, strength and expression. Yet unlike Italian Renaissance artists such as Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Alessandro Allori (1535?1607), Rubens did not perform or witness dissections and seems to have rarely studied from the live nude model. What, then, was the nature and extent of Rubens?s study of human anatomy? The present volume will offer an answer to that question, while also establishing when and where most of his anatomical works were made and reassessing the issue of their intended purpose.‎

‎, Hannibal Books, 2024 Hardcover, 160 pages, Illustrated, 25x19cm, Text in English. Fine . ISBN 9789464941203.‎

‎The posthumous release of the last book that Michael Wolf himself worked on, published to mark the fifth anniversary of his death Award-winning German photographer Michael Wolf (1954?2019) grew up in Canada, Europe and the United States. In 1994, Wolf moved to Hong Kong, where he worked for eight years as a contract photographer for Stern Magazine. The core of Wolf?s work consisted of capturing life in megacities. Many of his projects depict the architecture and popular culture of metropolises, and Hong Kong Whispers is no exception. This book contains a stunning series of photos showing the vibrant global city of Hong Kong. Wolf?s photographs are displayed in dialogue with the acerbic and ambiguous drawings of Arpa s Du Bois ( 1973). Based on intense engagement with Wolf?s series of images, she reflects on unnoticed moments and events that characterise life in the metropolis. The visual exchange between photographs and drawings took shape during Du Bois?s stay of several weeks in Hong Kong (2014), during which the two artists observed the city both together and individually.‎

‎Robert Devriendt : Broken Stories‎

‎, Ludion, 2014 Hardcover, 208 pag. NL / ENG, 300 x 250 x 25 mm, NIEUW / NEW, full of photographs / illkustrations in colour. ISBN 9789491819049.‎

‎Het oeuvre van de Belgische kunstenaar Robert Devriendt is onlosmakelijk verbonden met film: zijn schilderijen zijn klein en kunnen bekeken worden als een reeks stills. De samenhang van deze ?filmische montages? is vaak enigmatisch - er is geen vastomlijnd script. De toeschouwer ervaart de schilderijenreeksen als onopgeloste zaken, waarbij de personages op het schilderij de rol spelen van acteurs: een man kijkt ons aan, een meisje blijkt net vermoord te zijn ? of ligt ze te slapen? De kijker wordt automatisch getransformeerd in coregisseur en cre ert zijn eigen verhaal. De series van Robert Devriendt zijn als gebroken verhalen, waarbij de interpretatie van de toeschouwer centraal staat. Broken Stories biedt een overzicht van de carri re van Robert Devriendt, met de nadruk op zijn recente werk.‎

‎Micha l Borremans the Badger's Song.‎

‎BE - , Hannibal Books, 2020 Hardcover, 380 x 275 mm, 176 pages, English edition. FINE CONDITION !!! ISBN 9789463887564.‎

‎Ambiguity and contradiction are the twin hallmarks of the paintings, drawings and films of Micha l Borremans (b. 1963). He deploys his technical virtuosity to create apparently familiar scenes, which on closer inspection have an unsettling effect. He combines black humour, violence, absurdism and beauty to produce images that are strange and alienating, in which the subject seems to be situated in an undefined time and space. This catalogue provides an overview of Micha l Borremans' work since 2013. The majority of the works have never been published before. The book focuses on the different series of paintings he has exhibited over recent years: 'Black Mould', 'Fire From the Sun' and 'Coloured Cones'. Working in series is a recent development in Borremans' oeuvre. Micha l Borremans has staged solo exhibitions in a variety of venues, including Galerie Rudolfinum in Prague, CAC M laga, Dallas Museum of Art, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, BOZAR in Brussels, Hara Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, The Cleveland Museum of Art, S.M.A.K. in Ghent, De Appel in Amsterdam and Parasol Unit in London.Overzicht van alle reeksen schilderijen van Micha l Borremans sinds 2013 De schilderijen, tekeningen en films van Micha l Borremans ( 1963) worden gekenmerkt door ambigu teit en contradictie. Hij cre ert met technische virtuositeit schijnbaar vertrouwde taferelen, die bij nader inzien een ontregelend effect hebben. Hij combineert zwarte humor, geweld, absurdisme en schoonheid met elkaar met vervreemdende beelden als resultaat, waarbij het onderwerp zich in een ongedefinieerde tijd en ruimte lijkt te bevinden. Deze catalogus biedt een overzicht van alle werken die Micha l Borremans sinds 2013 in reeksen heeft geconcipieerd. Het gaat hierbij om zeven verschillende series, onder meer Black Mould, Fire from the Sun? en Girl with Hands. De meeste van deze werken werden nooit eerder gepubliceerd. Het werken in reeksen is een recente ontwikkeling in het oeuvre van Borremans.‎

‎VAN ANTWERPEN NAAR AMSTERDAM : Schilderkunst uit de zestiende en zeventiende eeuw‎

‎, Hannibal Books, 2023 Softcover met flappen, 408 pag. NL editie, 290 x 250 x 35 mm ,Nieuw !, Mooi dik boek met talrijke illustraties in kleur / z/w. ISBN 9789464666120.‎

‎Ontdek hoe Vlaamse en Brabantse meesters Nederland groot hebben gemaakt De Nederlandse kunst van de zeventiende eeuw wordt wereldwijd geroemd, maar hoe 'Hollands' zijn deze schilderijen werkelijk? Aan de hand van ruim negentig topstukken van Vlaamse en Hollandse meesters laat dit boek zien dat de bloei van de zeventiende-eeuwse Hollandse schilderkunst er niet was geweest zonder het zestiende-eeuwse Antwerpen. Religieuze vluchtelingen die vanuit deze metropool naar het noorden trokken, speelden hierin de hoofdrol. De Val van Antwerpen in 1585 resulteerde namelijk in de massale uittocht van Antwerpenaren naar het noorden. Aan de hand van persoonlijke verhalen en diepgaand onderzoek wordt kennisgemaakt met het verhaal van talentvolle en goed opgeleide kunstenaars en kooplieden die in het noorden godsdienstvrijheid en nieuwe handelsmogelijkheden zochten. Van Antwerpen naar Amsterdam toont unieke werken van grote meesters als Joos van Cleve, Pieter Aertsen, Maerten de Vos, Frans Floris, Frans Hals, Peter Paul Rubens, Antoon van Dyck, Jacob Jordaens, Jan Steen en Rembrandt van Rijn. Publicatie bij de tentoonstelling Ode aan Antwerpen, hoe Vlaamse meesters Nederland groot maakten in het Museum Catharijneconvent van 14 mei tot 17 september 2023. Van Antwerpen naar Amsterdam is geen catalogus maar een tijdloos referentiewerk dat in geen enkele kunstboekenbibliotheek mag ontbreken. Met tekstbijdragen van onder anderen Micha Leeflang, curator in het Museum Catharijneconvent, Koenraad Jonckheere, hoogleraar kunstgeschiedenis aan de Universiteit Gent en auteur van de bestseller A New History of Western Art, en Sven Van Dorst, hoofd van het restauratieatelier van The Phoebus Foundation.‎
