‎Homage to Adrienne Fontainas Passionate Pilgrim for the Arts‎

‎, Peter Lang Publishing Inc, 2017 Hardcover 22,9 x 15,2 x 2,5 cm 359 pagina's.‎

‎The twenty-two essays in this volume are contributed by Belgian, French, and American scholars to honor the memory and work of Adrienne Fontainas (1929-2010). The interdisciplinary scholarship this community of international scholars has produced is of lasting importance in underlining the significant role of Brussels from 1870 to 1914. A leading European scholar and bibliophile, Adrienne Fontainas served as Vice President of the International Association of Bibliophiles and membre d'honneur of the Royal Society of Bibliophiles and Iconophiles of Belgium. Her groundbreaking books on the Symbolist poet Stephane Mallarme and his Brussels' editor Edmond Deman (Edmond Deman editeur : Art et edition au tournant du siecle and Edmond Deman : Publications de la librairie) are model studies of the book publishing trade in France and Belgium. The essays in this book explore a wide variety of interdisciplinary fields, including art history, book collecting, publishing, literature and music, and cover subjects such as Felicien Rops, William Degouve de Nuncques, Symbolism and Surrealism, Maurice Maeterlinck and Emile Verhaeren, Paul Signac, Victor Horta, Edmond Picard, Andre Fontainas, Edmond Deman, and Franz Liszt in Belgium. In addition, a comprehensive bibliography of Adrienne Fontainas' writings in the visual arts, literature, and music, as well as a discussion of her working methodology, are included. This book contains contributions in French and English.‎

‎All Roads Lead to Rome. The Creation, Context & Transmission of the Codex Amiatinus‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, xx + 200 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:25 b/w, 30 col., 7 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503581422.‎

‎Summary The Codex Amiatinus is perhaps the most famous copy of the Bible surviving in Western Europe. A fascinating and elusive manuscript, with a suite of decorated folios, it was made in Anglo-Saxon England around the turn of the eighth century at the twin monastic foundation of Wearmouth and Jarrow as one of three such 'pandects'. Created at the monastic foundation celebrated in the work of the Venerable Bede, this vast and luxe manuscript was sent by the Northumbrian monks as a gift to the Pope in 716 and, after a sojourn of some 900 years at Monte Amiato (Tuscany), it was donated to the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana in Florence in the eighteenth century. As a result of an international conference held to commemorate the 1300th anniversary of the departure of the manuscript from Northumberland and coinciding with the production and presentation of a facsimile of the Codex to the Museum at Jarrow, this volume - the first devoted to the Codex Amiatinus - brings together twelve essays that offer a new appraisal of this remarkable book, and of the contexts that surrounded its production. Encompassing its text, its images, its social, political and ecclesiastical contexts and its later medieval legacy, the contributions to this volume highlight several previously unrecognised aspects and details of the manuscript that further our understanding of the Codex as a book, and as inheritor and progenitor of manuscript traditions in its own right.

‎Visual artist, choreographer, writer and director, Jan Fabre has been one of the most influential figures on the European scene for over twenty years. His provocative forays into all different art forms are aimed at breaking down the artistic and moral barriers of his times. Published on the occasion of the exhibition of Fabres works at the MAXXI in Rome, the monograph brings together, for the first time, the action art and performances of the Belgian artist from the 70s to the present: drawings, thinking models, collages, films, photos and other documentation that lay the groundwork for a rediscovery of dozens of Fabres performances and interventions, both public and private, held in Belgium and abroad. The extreme, even brazen exploration of the human body, which frequently scandalizes viewers, is linked to the idea of metamorphosis, which Fabre may have derived from that passion for the sciences he inherited from his great-grandfather, the esteemed entomologist Jean-Henri Fabre. Jan Fabre has devoted much of his career to studying the human body and its transfiguration, central themes in his work ‎

‎Marten Melsen werd te Brussel geboren op 11 juli 1870. Hij was een echte Brusselaar met roots in de Antwerpse Polder en Ossendrecht (Nederland). Voor een uitgebreide biografie kunt u terecht op http://martenmelsen.free.fr/index_N.htm Na eerst in 1894 een lange zomerperiode met een vriend-kunstschilder rond Stabroek en Berendrecht te hebben geschilderd n gefotografeerd, beslist Melsen om rond 1896 permanent naar Stabroek te trekken. Hij huurt een stuk in de driewoonst van de enorme boerin Mie Pot, die hij daarna regelmatig op zeer sappige en originele wijze heeft vereeuwigd op doek. Melsen?s oeuvre wordt bekend, hij verkoopt vanaf 1907 aan musea en wordt bevriend met Stijn Streuvels en James Ensor. Na zijn huwelijk in 1909 met de nicht van zijn boezemvriend, de befaamde toondichter August De Boeck, koopt hij rond 1912 twee huisjes aan het Hoogeind te Stabroek, die hij liet ombouwen tot kunstatelier ?t Vossevelt genaamd. De daarop volgende prille gezinsjaren worden een mooie periode van regelmatige tentoonstellingen en persoonlijk succes, dat plots door elkaar geschud worden in het oorlogsjaar 1914 door het drama van het verschrikkelijk conflict, dat jaren gaat duren. Deze thematentoonstelling in het Poldermuseum toont hoe de kunstenaar tijdens die harde oorlogsjaren heeft kunnen overleven, waarin hij nieuwe inspiratie heeft gevonden, en welke kunstwerken hij maakte in een tijd dat schildersmateriaal moeilijk verkrijgbaar was en reizen praktisch onmogelijk werd. De tentoonstelling toont ook unieke documenten, brieven en foto?s uit het persoonlijk archief van de kunstenaar dat voor de eerste maal aan het publiek getoond.‎

‎Karel Dierickx's existential radicalism will always keep him aloof from the current generation of Flemish painters, but over the years the aristocratic appeal of his aloofness has grown. It is the detachment, the integrity of someone who is such an integral part of the great painting tradition that he no longer needs any environment, a school or trend. He has enough work in the time and space around him. It is the breath of a body of work that is self-sufficient in the iconographic space of its own intimacy, while simultaneously recognisable as a human living space. It is the freedom of the old master who has reached the moment about which Paul Klee says: 'Drawing is taking a line out for a walk.' It is the freedom of the old Henri Matisse: the hand knows its way through the complex paths of painting laid down through the centuries, yet settled in its own existence. Freedom and rigour, a room filled with light and reflection, and work that spreads out towards the window. An artist could not ask for more. (Stefan Hertmans)‎

‎In 1667, het jaar van de Tocht naar Chatham, stond de Republiek op het toppunt van haar roem. Anderhalve eeuw later was daar weinig meer van over en werd ons land door Napoleon van de politieke landkaart geveegd. Dit boek geeft een militaire verklaring voor het ?wonder? in de zeventiende eeuw en de neergang die daarna volgde. Hoe waren leger en vloot in de Republiek georganiseerd en gefinancierd? Welke tactieken werden gebruikt en hoe functioneerde de militaire leiding? Waar kwamen de Staatse troepen vandaan en hoe was de samenleving erbij betrokken? Hoe leefden de tienduizenden anonieme matrozen en soldaten, en hoe keken de burgers tegen hen aan? Een publicatie van het Nederlands Instituut voor Militaire Historie (NIMH) in Den Haag, waaraan alle auteurs verbonden zijn. Marc van Alphen is gespecialiseerd in vroegmoderne maritieme geschiedenis, Jan Hoffenaar is hoofd onderzoek en tevens hoogleraar militaire geschiedenis in Utrecht, Alan Lemmers doet onderzoek naar maritieme geschiedenis en techniekgeschiedenis, en Christiaan van der Spek richt zich vooral op de achttiende eeuw en de Bataafs-Franse tijd.‎

‎Abbaye du Saint Esprit. Spiritual Instruction for Laywomen, 1250 -1500‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, xiii + 219 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 2 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503586816.‎

‎Summary The Abbaye du Saint Esprit was a successful work of vernacular spiritual advice for women, surviving in sixteen manuscripts and a widely copied Middle English translation. Unlike many other didactic religious texts, it offers few prescriptions for behaviour; rather, it instructs the reader to build a convent of virtues in her conscience and uses the allegorical structure of the building and its inhabitants to arrange brief teachings on prayer and virtuous practice. Between its genesis in the last quarter of the thirteenth century to its final development towards the end of the fifteenth, it was reworked several times for new audiences of women both lay and cloistered, bourgeois and aristocratic. The examination of these successive adaptations offers insights into the growth of lay religious culture, the participation of women in new religious movements, and the use and transformation of twelfth and early thirteenth-century monastic formation literature for new audiences. This book also offers, for the first time, editions of all the French versions of the Abbaye and a modern English translation of the earliest version.
