‎Archaeological Landscapes of Roman Etruria. Research and Field Papers‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 296 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:95 b/w, 21 col., 3 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503591391.‎

‎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.

‎The Grand Ducal Medici and their Archive offers a unique window into early modern Florentine society through an exploration of the archives of the Medici ruling family. Teeming with circa three million letters, the archival collection of the Medici grand dukes housed at the Archivio di Stato in Florence chronicles the culture and history of Europe and beyond, across a span of over two hundred years. The letters of this collection, known as the Mediceo del Principato, embrace a great variety of themes including diplomacy, art, medicine, food, science, and warfare. Since its contents originate from a court archive that served both the state and a ruling family, this collection comprises administrative, political, and financial correspondence, as well as more private and intimate accounts of the Medici themselves and their activity at court. At the same time, it would be a great misconception to assume that this enormous archival corpus pertains just to Florence or just to the Medici, given that the vast majority of these missives were written by ambassadors, agents, and informants stationed throughout Europe. This volume, The Grand Ducal Medici and their Archive, aims to unlock not only the complex structure of the Mediceo del Principato but also the richness of its content. The sixteen essays address a variety of topics ? book history, Ottoman relations, collections of New World artifacts, medical history, gender studies, and material culture ? all with direct reference to the Medici grand duchy. The original research that supports these studies was drawn in part from the Medici Archive Project's online platform (BIA) for querying over 350,000 digitized and/or transcribed letters. Making use of these and other original sources, the essays in The Grand Ducal Medici and their Archive shed new light on the mechanisms and strategies that enabled Florence to emerge from decades of internecine confl ict and diplomatic chaos in order to enjoy cultural and political prominence.

‎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.

‎Impressionist Paris A Panoramic View of Paris in French Impressionism.‎

‎, 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.‎

‎, Hamburger Kunsthalle, 2023 Hardcover, 216 Seiten, Deutsch, 285 x 215 x 20 mm, NEU, mit abb. in farbe. ISBN 9783731913047.‎

‎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.*NEW 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.

‎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.‎

‎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

‎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.

‎Summary At a time when we reflect intensively on the issue of social cohesion, on the influence of architecture in lifestyles, and on relationships between neighbourhoods within large modern cities, this book aims to approach the study of "inhabiting modes" in Roman urban dwellings. Drawing on concepts common to historical anthropology and incorporating evidence from multiple lines of research (archaeological, iconographic, textual, and others), this volume aims to contribute to the invigoration of a social history of ancient housing through new research projects, publications, and digital tools from both individual and collaborative efforts. This field of study is currently undergoing a period of disciplinary revitalization and this volume is an opportunity to present the most recent work and to conduct a dialogue in an interdisciplinary perspective.

‎Letters of Salvator Rosa (1615-1673). An Italian Transcription, English Translation and Critical Edition‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2019 Hardback, 2 vols, vi + 1104 pages, Size:225 x 300 mm, Illustrations:4 b/w, 47 col., Languages: English, Italian. ISBN 9781905375882.‎

‎Summary These two volumes comprise the first English translation and critical edition of the extant letters of the Neapolitan painter and satirist Salvator Rosa (1615-1673). Presented in a revised Italian transcription and a complete English translation, the letters are accompanied by extensive historical notes, a philological apparatus, a comprehensive index, appendices, and photographs of the manuscripts. A number of previously unpublished letters also appear here for the first time. Unique among early modern primary documents for their quantity and exceptional for their candour, Rosa's letters are not only a fascinating and intimate chronicle of the artist himself but also an invaluable record of the activities and aspirations of his contemporaries,?offering useful insights into historical persons, ideas and events. An indispensable early modern primary source, comparable in significance to the letters of Michelangelo, Nicolas Poussin or Peter Paul Rubens, Rosa's letters here receive a long-overdue analysis and an English translation that seeks to make more accessible their contents, frequently impenetrable to even native Italian speakers.‎

‎The human history of color, in two sweeping volumes The earliest forms of human creativity ? in carvings, markings, and cave paintings ? bear witness to humanity?s engagement with color. Almost as old as these examples is the desire to assign structure, order, and meaning to this universal yet elusive concept, and it is this fascination that unites the works compiled in this expansive edition. Gathering over 65 rare books and manuscripts from a wealth of institutions, including the most distinguished color collections worldwide, The Book of Colour Concepts takes the reader on a chromatic odyssey across four centuries and over 1,000 images of luscious wheels and globes, painstakingly collated charts, and meticulous diagrams, many of them newly photographed exclusively for this edition. Some of these concepts provide exhaustive taxonomies of color, while others reflect upon the relationship of color and music, or the affinities between color and human emotions. Seminal works of color theory, such as Isaac Newton?s Opticks and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe?s hugely significant Zur Farbenlehre, are shown alongside rare and unfamiliar contributions, including the theosophical color systems of Charles Webster Leadbeater and Annie Besant, the comprehensive color ?dictionary? of Aloys John Maerz and Morris Rea Paul, and the patchwork combinations of the Japanese costume designer and artist Sanz? Wada. The two volumes also bring many intriguing and often overlooked works by women into the spotlight, including the radically inventive color ?blots? of the English flower painter Mary Gartside and a botanical notebook by the pionieering spiritualist Hilma af Klint. The color systems that make up this edition are contextualized by introductory essays from editor Alexandra Loske and co-author Sarah Lowengard, while authoritative texts from the editor on the works reproduced set out each concept in further detail. Illuminating the history of color in all its shapes and forms, The Book of Colour Concepts offers a chromatic chronology unparalleled in scope.‎
