Drawings of Peter Paul Rubens, A Critical Catalogue, Volume Two (1609?1620) Part One: Text and Part Two: Images
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2023 2 vols; Part One: Text and Part Two: Images, 732 pages; Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:291 col. Language(s):English. ISBN 9782503599533.
This is Volume II in the three-volume catalogue raisonn of the drawings by Rubens covering the years 1609?20. The project is a collaboration between Anne-Marie Logan, to whom belong all the Rubens attributions, and Kristin Lohse Belkin. It is the first publication that presents the artist?s entire drawn oeuvre in chronological order, previous such publications containing only selections of drawings. By leafing through the illustrations, this arrangement offers the user a quick visual impression of the variety of techniques, media, subject matter and functions of Rubens?s drawings at any one time. Accordingly, Volume II consists of the drawings from the time of Rubens?s return from Italy and the establishment of his workshop in Antwerp to the completion of his contribution to the furnishing and decoration of the city?s new Jesuit church, today?s St. Charles Borromeo. The decade is characterized by a broad range of genres and iconography: large altarpieces stand next to cabinet-size pictures, book illustrations next to designs for tapestry, sculpture and architectural reliefs; religious, mythological and historical subjects alternate with allegories, portraits, exotic hunts and scenes from country life. Copies after other artists? works that constitute such a large part of Rubens?s early years discussed in Volume I have given way to original inventions in pen and ink and, above all, by life studies in chalk of the human body, naked or dressed. The whole spectrum of Rubens?s extraordinary creativity, nowhere presented as directly and immediately as in his drawings, is there to be contemplated in all its astonishing diversity. Each entry consists of a detailed physical description of the drawing, provenance, exhibition history, full bibliography and a critical, interpretive discussion. All drawings by Rubens as well as a selection of comparative images are reproduced in color.
Late Gothic Sculpture in Northern Italy: Andrea da Giona and I Maestri Caronesi. An Addition to the Pantheon of Venetian Sculptors
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2022 Hardback, 2 vols, 660 pages, Size:225 x 300 mm, Illustrations:505 b/w, 27 col., Language: English. ISBN 9781912554805.
Summary Over the course of a century and a half more than forty late Gothic sculptures have been recognized as sharing a vocabulary of figure and facial types, drapery, wings, and hair. Despite the fact that all the works date from the second quarter of the fifteenth century, they were widely distributed throughout Northern Italy - from Udine in the east to Venice, Ferrara, Vicenza, Verona, Milan, Genoa, and Savona in the west. Payments for the greatest of these works, the Milanese Tomb of Giovanni Borromeo, name as its authors Filippo Solari and Andrea, both from Carona or its satellite Giona, towns in the Ticino close to Lake Lugano which gave birth to several famous dynasties of stonecarvers. How Filippo and Andrea and their numerous assistants, known generally as maestri caronesi, were linked and what kinds of organizations permitted such wide-spread activity over such a narrow span of time are questions asked here for the first time. On the basis of close analyses of comparable works, moreover, it proves possible - not only to identify the chief among these maestri caronesi as Andrea da Giona (d. 1449) - but to follow his career in Castiglione Olona, Milan, and Venice where he was preeminent during the transition from late Gothic to Renaissance sculpture.

Annemie Van Kerckhoven Zeno X Gallery, A Long-Standing Collaboration Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven

Het eigenzinnige universum van kunstenares Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven Dit boek biedt een overzicht van de langdurige samenwerking tussen kunstenares Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven en Zeno X Gallery in Antwerpen. Centraal in de publicatie staan de dertien solotentoonstellingen die Van Kerckhoven presenteerde in de galerie vanaf de jaren tachtig tot nu. Aan de hand van installatiebeelden worden enkele belangrijke museale tentoonstellingen en bijzondere projecten uitgelicht waarvoor de kunstenares in binnen- en buitenland werd uitgenodigd. De publicatie bevat ook talrijke foto?s, krantenknipsels, uitnodigingskaarten en recensies uit haar rijkgevulde archief. Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven ( 1951) werkt sinds de jaren tachtig aan een oeuvre dat bestaat uit tekeningen, schilderijen, collages, films en installaties. Ze manipuleert vrouwenbeelden ? eerst manueel en later ook digitaal ? om de objectivering van de vrouw en de geldende machtssystemen in vraag te stellen. Op een intu tieve en onconventionele manier onderzoekt ze onderwerpen als wetenschap, taal en artifici le intelligentie. Zo cre ert ze een heel eigen universum, waarin de tegenstellingen tussen chaos en orde, logica en mystiek, erotiek en technologie opgeheven worden. //// The idiosyncratic universe of artist Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven This book offers an overview of the long-standing collaboration between the artist Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven and Zeno X Gallery. Central to the publication are the thirteen solo exhibitions which Van Kerckhoven has presented at the gallery from the 1980s to the present day. Installation views highlight some of the important museum exhibitions and remarkable projects for which the artist was invited, both at home and abroad. The publication also includes numerous photographs, newspaper clippings, invitation cards and reviews from her extensive archive. Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (b. 1951) has been working on a body of work consisting of drawings, paintings, collages, films and installations since the 1980s. She manipulates images depicting women ? first manually and later also digitally ? in order to question the objectification of women and the prevailing systems of power. In an intuitive and unconventional way, she explores subjects such as science, language and artificial intelligence, creating a universe of her own in which the oppositions between chaos and order, logic and mysticism, eroticism and technology are abolished.

The point of departure of the oeuvre of Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven is the human brain with its analytical and irrational potential in terms of perception and cognizance. Van Kerckhoven's logic is consistently counteracted by absurdity or mental disruptions, and the analytical is joined with the mystical without viewing this as a contradiction. Van Kerckhoven began dealing with research on artificial intelligence early on, whereby visual languages dominated that are influenced by scientific imaging processes: diagrams, graphic animations, and text-image schemes. She used digital on par with analog forms of expression as early as the 1980s and transferred the digitally constructed worlds into space. The artist uses primarily female bodies like ?selfies? as protagonists in drawings, paintings, prints, and films. What is characteristic about her oeuvre is her biographical beginning in the counterculture of punk, feminism, and in the anti-academism typical of her generation, which engendered a pop aesthetic on the one hand, and highly complex contents on the other. ?Tegenover het willekeurige, dat de oorsprong is van elke geschreven en gesproken taal, heb ik het onuitgesprokene, het mystieke geplaatst. Van wanhoop tot extase, dat is wat het mystieke nu omhelst. Dit is de allesverslindende lust voor leven en liefde. Eenwording, zich niet afgescheiden voelen van de rest. Geen ego, geen grenzen. De creatie wordt een met haar schepper. Ik noem het het analoge. Het analoge versus het willekeurige. Het analoge is ritueel, kwaadaardigheid, mysterie, begeerte, verlangen, lust, terwijl het digitale controle, technologie, sublimatie, afhankelijkheid, reinheid en transparantie is. Het analoge plus het digitale vormt de essentie van mensen: perspectief.? Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven, Some Sort of Manifesto, 2016?17 Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (ook bekend als AMVK) is een kunstenaar van een bijzondere complexiteit. Ze is geboren in 1951 in Antwerpen, waar ze nog steeds woont en werkt, en sinds de jaren 1970 actief is als beeldend kunstenaar, grafisch ontwerper en performer. Ze is altijd een pionier geweest. Ze moet, eerst en vooral, als een kunstenaar voor de toekomst worden beschouwd.

VIVIAN MAIER.
, Thames and Hudson 2022, 2022 Hardcover, 256 pages, ENG, 290 x 225 mm, NEW, 250 pictures in colour and b/w, .* NEW. ISBN 9780500025703.
A full-career retrospective on the work of Vivian Maier, bringing together a selection of key works from throughout her life and career. When Vivian Maier's archive was discovered in Chicago in 2007, the photography community gained an immense and singular talent. Maier lived in relative obscurity until her death in 2009, but is now the subject of films and books, and recognized as one of the great American photographers of the 20th century. Born in New York in 1926, she worked as a nanny in New York and Chicago for much of her adult life. It was during her years as a nanny that she took many of the photographs that have made her posthumously famous. Maier's incredible body of work consists of more than 150,000 photographic images, Super 8 and 16 mm films, various recordings and a multitude of undeveloped films. Working primarily as a street photographer, Maier's work has been compared with such luminaries as Helen Levitt, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus and Joel Meyerowitz. Drawing on previously unpublished archives and recent scientific analyses, this retrospective sheds new light on Maier's work. With texts by Anne Morin and Christa Bl mlinger, this thorough look at Maier's entire archive is organized thematically in sections that cover self-portraits, the street, portraits, gestures, cinematography, children, colour work and forms. A valuable addition to the continuing assessment of Maier's work, this book is a one-volume compendium of her most enduring images.

Grensverleggers Baanbrekende kaarten uit de Lage Landen, 1500-1900
, Hannibal Books, 2024 Hardcover,320 pagina's met prachtige illustraties, 29 25 cm. Nederlandstalige editie. ISBN 9789464666113.
Een boeiende duik in de cartografie en de geschiedenis van de Lage Landen Een oude kaart geeft niet alleen een geografische situatie weer, ze belichaamt ook een ware ontdekkingstocht door de wereldgeschiedenis. Historica Anne-Rieke van Schaik duikt in de talrijke verhalen achter de fascinerende kaarten, prenten, atlassen, globes en instrumenten uit de collectie van de Phoebus Foundation. De objecten zijn getuigen van zowel glorieuze passages als zwarte bladzijden uit het verleden van de Lage Landen, van de strijd tegen het water en de Tachtigjarige Oorlog tot de koloniale expansie en de Belgische onafhankelijkheidsstrijd. Bijzondere aandacht gaat uit naar de Zuidelijke Nederlanden, waar in de zestiende eeuw pionierende cartografen als Gerard Mercator en Abraham Ortelius voet aan grond kregen. Hun kaarten openden letterlijk en figuurlijk nieuwe wegen. In hun tijd waren ze vaak innoverend, maar ook vandaag nog bieden ze unieke vergezichten op het verleden. Zo nodigt Grensverleggers aan de hand van honderden prachtige afbeeldingen uit om de horizonten van de eigen wereld opnieuw te verkennen en te verleggen. Anne-Rieke van Schaik was onderzoeksfellow Topografie & Cartografie bij The Phoebus Foundation en is momenteel lid van onderzoeksgroep Explokart, verbonden aan het Allard Pierson en de UvA.
Groundbreakers Remarkable Maps from the Low Countries, 1500-1900
, Hannibal Books, 2024 Hardcover, 320 pages with beautiful illustrations, 29 25 cm. English language edition. ISBN 9789464941043.
A fascinating immersion into the cartography and history of the Low Countries An old map does not only represent a geographical situation; it also embodies a veritable journey of discovery through world history. In this book, historian Anne-Rieke van Schaik immerses herself in the many stories behind the fascinating maps, prints, atlases, globes and instruments belonging to the Phoebus Foundation?s collection. These objects testify to glorious moments and dark interludes in the history of the Low Countries, from the never-ending battle against water and the Eighty Years War to colonial expansion and the struggle for Belgian independence. Particular attention is paid to the Southern Netherlands, where pioneers like Gerard Mercator and Abraham Ortelius broke new ground in the sixteenth century. Their maps opened up new paths, both literally and figuratively. Not only were they innovative in their own time, but even today they continue to offer unique panoramas of the past. With hundreds of beautiful images, Groundbreakers invites you to rediscover and redefine the horizons of your own world. Anne-Rieke van Schaik was Research Fellow in Topography & Cartography at The Phoebus Foundation and is currently a member of the Explokart research group, affiliated to the Allard Pierson and the UvA.

VILLA EMPAIN. HISTORY AND RESTORATION,
Brussels, Ministry of the Brussels-Capital Region, 2009 Soft cover 192pp ., beautiful colour illustration throughout. 30x22 cm ISBN 9782930457505.
With the Stoclet Palace, built by the Austrian architect Josef Hoffman in 1911, the Villa Empain is certainly one of the most beautiful architectural masterpieces of Art Deco in Brussels. In 1930, at the age of 21, Baron Louis Empain had this private mansion of 2500 square meters built, on the prestigious avenue of the Nation which was later on renamed as Franklin Roosevelt Avenue. It is to the Swiss architect Michel Polak, with the collaboration of Alfred Hoch that this splendid mansion is entrusted to. Michel Polak is already well known in Belgium: one of his major works consisted of the famous "Residence Palace " (1928) and the dental institute George Eastman in the Leopold Parc. Villa Empain is het derde deel van de reeks Geschiedenis en Restauratie van de Directie Monumenten en Landschappen. Het boek beschrijft de architectonische complexiteit en de decoratieve schoonheid van de villa, een hoogtepunt van de Brusselse art deco. New book, English version.

Summary la Renaissance, si le medium de la gravure permet d sormais aux artistes de rivaliser entre eux distance, d s la fin du xve si cle, la diffusion des mod les grav s par l'atelier du prestigieux peintre de cour des marquis de Mantoue, Andrea Mantegna, a suscit sur le territoire germanique une v ritable mulation d'ordre culturelle, dans laquelle la question du rapport l'identit occupe une place fondamentale. D s lors, dans les images, deux paradigmes se dessinent : d'une part le Welsch, qui d signe ce qui est romain, de style l'antique, et, plus g n ralement, italien ; d'autre part le Deutsch, qui renvoie une tradition artistique et aux coutumes typiquement germaniques. Inscrite dans la probl matique des transferts culturels, cette tude analyse, dans une approche r solument pluridisciplinaire, les diff rentes transformations iconographiques, formelles et stylistiques dont les motifs emprunt s aux estampes de Mantegna ont fait l'objet ainsi que l'appareil rh torique qui accompagne ces transformations pour mieux leur donner du sens (comparaison, parodie, dissimulation, etc.).

Urban Practices. Repopulating the Ancient City
, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, xii + 172 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:73 b/w, 1 col., 1 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503584614.
Summary Cities in the ancient world, much like in the modern era, were not simply a locus for population and a hub for social, cultural, and economic activity, but were themselves the products of urban practices. This volume draws together two often disparate fields - urban space and human practice - to explore the actors and actions that underpinned ancient cities and to offer unique insights into the lives of those who dwelt there. Placing particular emphasis on social practice theory, the contributions gathered together in this book seek to analyse the development of the city, especially public urban spaces, from the archaic period up to Roman Imperial times. A key focus is on infrastructure, public spaces used for politics (particularly the Forum Romanum), and the role of sanctuaries and the way in which they were shaped by cult activity. Through this unique approach, this volume is able, for the first time, to bring the inhabitants of ancient cities to the fore, and in doing so, to offer key insights into the development of spatial routines, the interaction of these routines with the material setting of a city, and the way in which cities themselves played an important role in shaping the people and practices within them.

Works in Collaboration Frans Snijders and Other Masters. Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard, vol. 27.2
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2025 hardcover, dusjacket, 290 pages, Size:175 x 260 mm, Illustrations:65 b/w, 42 col., Language(s):English. *New. ISBN 9781915487582.
Summary Peter Paul Rubens already had assistants working for him in his studio when he first gained admission to the Antwerp Guild of St Luke in 1598. At this period too he began to co-operate with other masters, such as Jan Brueghel the Elder; a separate volume, dedicated to that collaboration, was published in 2016 (Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard, XXVII (1): Jan Brueghel I & II). On his return from Italy in 1609, not only did Rubens?s studio assistants increase in number, so too did the co-operative projects that the artist undertook. Rubens continued to work with Jan Brueghel the Elder until 1621. When Brueghel died in 1625, his son Jan continued the partnership with Rubens until the latter?s death in 1640. Similarly productive was the collaboration between Rubens and the still life and animal painter Frans Snijders. It began shortly after Rubens's return to Antwerp and is reflected in various large-format works for the courts of Brussels and Madrid [?], but also in smaller ?cabinet? paintings, some of which were executed by members of the respective workshops of the two masters. The collaboration soon extended to the studio of the animal painter Paul de Vos, whose sister Margriete had married Snijders in 1611. One such joint painting was still in Rubens?s possession at the time of his death and was listed in the 1640 catalogue of the works for sale from the artist?s estate. This document also reveals that, among the paintings by other masters that he owned, Rubens possessed a surprisingly large quantity by the Dutch landscape and genre painter Cornelis Saftleven. Rubens had worked with Saftleven during his stay in Antwerp at the beginning of the 1630s, and evidently appreciated his talent, even if this collaboration can be represented only by a single painting.

Over the centuries, craftsmen have applied their creativity and technical skills to exploit the generous resources of Nature to marvelous effect. In this case they have employed seeds, leaves, flowers and fibers from the plant world, along with feathers, plain or iridescent shells, teeth, and fur from the animal kingdom to fashion objects of astonishing beauty, enhanced with the addition of elements in iron, copper, silver, and gold. Such materials have always provided the basis for magnificent headdresses of all varieties, including hats, caps, crowns, and headbands. In time, as the conditions of trade and pilgrimage routes improved, rare materials and manufactured products spread all over the globe, as well as new knowledge, techniques, and methods of fabrication. Each class of individual sported a distinct type of headdress: initiates and adults, hunters and warriors, religious dignitaries and healers, rulers and notables; unmarried girls, married women, and young mothers. In each case the author explains their opulence and symbolism to the reader.

Mastering Nature in the Medieval Arabic and Latin Worlds. Studies in Heritage and Transfer of Arabic Science in Honour of Charles Burnett
, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 292 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:8 b/w, 9 col., 6 tables b/w., Language(s):English, Latin, Arabic. ISBN 9782503604480.
Summary Understanding and influencing nature were preeminent aims of medieval Arabic science, and attracted European fascination with its accomplishments. This volume draws together studies on central themes, presenting a world of enquiry into the earth and the heavens, and ways to harness this information for divination and the occult sciences. It gives examples of how Arabic science travelled to Latin Europe through texts and instruments, and how it underwent transformation there as diverse fields were put to use and reinterpreted. The studies introduce a range of learning and perspectives: astrology conducted with planetary lots; a geography where features of the earth's surface move over time; knowledge of the elements and climates which Adelard of Bath learned from Arab masters; Avicenna's meteorology explaining the extremes of fire storms and catastrophic floods; debates about the eternity or creation of the world; evaluations of magic as a rational, intellectual discipline, or alternatively a danger needing censorship and linked to female witchcraft; and a precious astrolabe which in the Renaissance was reused and inspired new theoretical writings. Together these studies sketch a landscape of medieval Arabic science and Latin European engagement with this new frontier. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Ab?
