‎Early Betts Medal Companion: Medals of America's Discovery and Colonization (1492?1737)‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, xxii + 324 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:300 col., Language: English. ISBN 9780897223898.‎

‎Summary This book is a companion to C. Wyllys Betts's masterpiece, American Colonial History Illustrated by Contemporary Medals, and should be used in conjunction with Betts's book and not as a substitute. Betts' Contemporary Medals is the definitive work in the area of American colonial medals and has been for over 100 years. It is far from perfect and includes medals that, upon reflection, have little or nothing to do with America, while at the same time ignoring others closely associated with the American colonial experience. Betts also included some medals that do not exist. The present book does not take on the daunting?if not quixotic?task of including all the medals associated with the Americas that Betts failed to describe. Rather, it follows the course set out by him?right, wrong, or indifferent. If Betts included a medal in his book, it is discussed and illustrated here. The only medals added are those closely associated with variants already included or those indispensable to an understanding of a medallic series. This volume updates and illustrates each listing in the first two chapters of Betts. With only a few exceptions, every Betts medal described in Chapters I and II of Betts's book is illustrated here, many for the first time. These medallic images, along with the historical narrative, bring the story of America's discovery and colonization to life. In instances where additional images are included, they are used to explain some aspect of the medal and not the historical account. This was C. Wyllys Betts's vision: history told only through contemporary medals. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Chapter 1. The Period of Discovery Chapter 2. The Period of Colonization Index‎

‎The Royal Collection contains one of the finest and most varied collections of Old Master paintings in the world. The 147 works catalogued in the present volume are by Flemish artists who were active principally in the seventeenth century; they include a large and outstandingly good group of genre paintings by David Teniers the Younger, and other paintings by such diverse artists as Jan Brueghel, Gonzalez Coques, Frans Francken, Frans Snyders, Karl Philips Spierincks and Jan Wildens. The most important group of works, however, are those by Rubens. The full range of the artist's practice is represented in the collection. There are works that are entirely by his hand, and others that were carried out either with known collaborators or with the help of his studio. The introduction to the catalogue gives a fully documented history of the growth of the collection from the early Stuarts to the reign of Queen Victoria. The close relations Charles I enjoyed with Rubens are discussed in detail, and there is a full account of the important acquisitions made by later members of the royal family, notably Frederick, Prince of Wales and George IV.‎

‎Eye and Art in Ancient Greece : A Study in Archaeoaesthetics‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller , 2018 Hardcover, 256 pages., 4 b/w ills, 61 col. ills, 220 x 280 mm, English, . ISBN 9781909400030.‎

‎Eye and Art in Ancient Greece examines the art of ancient Greece through reconstructions of how the Greeks saw and understood the products of their own visual culture. The material is approached using a newly developed methodology of archaeoaesthetics by which past modes of vision and perception are examined in conjunction with prevailing notions of pleasure and judgement with the purpose of identifying the visual and psychological contexts within which the aesthetics of a culture emerge. Through a wide-ranging examination of ideas found in early written sources, the book examines various key aspects of Greek visual culture, such as continuity and change, nudity, identity, lifelikeness, mimesis, personation and enactment, symmetria, dance, harmony, and the modal representation of emotions, with the aim of comprehending how and why choices were made in the conception and making of artifacts. Special attention is given to factors contributing to the formation of taste and the emergence and transmission over time of concepts of art and beauty and the means by which they were identified and judged. The approach facilitates encounters with the material in ways that give rise to new insights into how the ancient Greeks experienced their own visual culture and how Greek art may be understood by us today. Christopher L.C.E. Witcombe, a British citizen born in Oxford, studied painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, Italy, before moving to the United States to undertake undergraduate and graduate studies in art history. He subsequently received a Ph.D. in art history from Bryn Mawr College and is currently the Eleanor Barton and Aileen ?Ninie? Laing ?57 Endowed Professor in Art History at Sweet Briar College. He has held visiting scholar positions at Oxford University in England and the American Academy in Rome. He lives in Virginia.‎

‎Rembrandt. Rembrandt - Citadelles & Mazenod - Christopher Wright‎

‎, Citadelles & Mazenod, 2000 Relié avec jaquette d'éditeur + slipcase, 359 pages, Texte en Francais, Illustrations en couleurs en noir & blanc nombreuses illustrations dans et hors texte. *TRES bon etat! . ISBN 9782850881039.‎

‎Rembrandt n'a cessé de susciter des interrogations et des recherches de par le monde. Beaucoup ont voulu trouver dans sa vie la clef de son génie, et dans son ?uvre, d'une grande complexité affective et spirituelle, un reflet de sa vie. Mais la définition même de cet ?uvre pose problème, car au fil du temps, les attributions ont constamment varié. Le nombre de tableaux qui, à un moment ou à un autre, ont été associés au nom de Rembrandt, dépasse le chiffre ahurissant de mille ! Aujourd'hui, il a été ramené autour de trois cents. Face à ces aléas, Christopher Wright s'est livré à une étude très rigoureuse de la vaste documentation existant sur l'artiste et s'est attaché à un examen minutieux de sa production : il a vu personnellement la quasi-totalité des peintures reproduites dans ce livre. Rembrandt, ici redécouvert, apparaît ainsi débarrassé des interprétations psychologiques, romantiques ou dramatiques qui troublent la perception que l'on peut avoir de son art. L'originalité du présent ouvrage réside dans l'approche adoptée par l'auteur : les ?uvres sont réparties en fonction de leur thème, et traitées selon un ordre chronologique. Le lecteur peut ainsi s'imprégner pleinement du mystère des peintures religieuses, de la magie des paysages, de la virtuosité des portraits de la bourgeoisie néerlandaise, ou de la profonde humanité qui se dégage des autoportraits. A travers l'abondante sélection des illustrations en couleurs, chefs-d'?uvre et tableaux méconnus s'équilibrent harmonieusement. Le livre s'achève avec une partie documentaire - notamment une liste chronologique des peintures, ainsi qu'un florilège de critiques parues dans le passé - pour mieux entrer dans l'univers pictural du maître.‎

‎Geert Bekaert (1928) is de meest productieve en gezaghebbende architectuurcriticus uit de twintigste eeuw in het Nederlandse taalgebied. Tegelijkertijd is hij een van de meest literaire publicisten. Tussen 2008 en 2012 werd, met steun van de Vlaamse Gemeenschap, zijn verzameld werk (10 delen, ca. 1500 teksten) uitgegeven. Dit boek, een herwerking van een doctoraatsproefschrift, is de allereerste grondige studie van zijn geschriften, zijn aanpak en zijn thema?s. Door de brede interesse en methode van Bekaert, en door de gerichte thematische analyse van Van Gerrewey, biedt het tegelijk een overzicht op de debatten en de onderwerpen binnen de Belgische, Nederlandse en Europese architectuurcultuur sinds 1950. Van Gerrewey heeft daarvoor een opeenvolging opgesteld van zes thema?s: religie, wonen, maatschappij, geschiedenis, stad en cultuur. Deze onderwerpen worden besproken aan de hand van de teksten van Bekaert, en aan de hand van het werk van binnenlandse en buitenlandse architecten dat er het onderwerp van was.

‎?It is as if the images in this book close their eyes and immediately transform each other into a little impression we can take with us to the next page. And so, as we read the book, we take each individual image with us. Because the book is arranged in three parts, we feel we are getting closer and closer to the core, and to the truth; the more naked, the thinner and sharper the images become, the closer we come to the essence. Or is it the other way round? And once we are beyond the halfway point, we go through the same process all over again in the other direction. Perhaps every page of Exactly how I remembered it contains the same image, one that we change ? by looking, reading, turning the pages and remembering ? into another lie.? From: ?Images to take away?

‎Nikolaas Demoen Labyrinth‎

‎, Posture Editions Nr 34, 2020 HB, 297 x 210 mm, 72 pages, Illustrated. ENG edition. ISBN 9789491262357.‎

‎Labyrinth takes us on a walk through the spaces constructed within the pages of the book and visualises a world in which the exit can?t be found. With the morphology of the house (windows, doors, steps and curtains) and the theatre (curtains, stage, perspective), a world is evoked in which nothing can serve as a point of reference. The experience is similar to surfing on the internet, scrolling through instagram, unfolding the gallery map of Art Brussels or shopping in a French supermarket. All images in the book are woodcuts. Christophe Van Gerrewey has written a text that actually creates an imbroglio. The entire book is printed in letterpress. The book launch coincides with the screening of Demoen?s film Papers, books and bolero, on view at Kunsthal Gent. Book launch at Kunsthal on 7 Feb 2020.‎

‎Zeven soorten onvoltooidheid' - 'Seven types of unfinishedness' BU-POST‎

‎, Posture pockets 05, 2024 PB, 195 x 130 mm, 152 pages, EN-NL edition, Illustrated. ISBN 9789491262647.‎

‎When is a work of art finished, done, terminated? In this essay, Christophe Van Gerrewey suggests that the incompleteness of art mirrors the un de-cidability of the world, about which the last word hasn't been said yet either. An artwork can be unfinished in seven ways: it is completed by the audience, it suggests a better world, the artist can't leave it behind, it is a collective process, it reflects modesty, it is too utopian (for the time being), or its value has yet to be discovered. The photographs of ateliers and studios that illustrate this essay, show the places where all these thoughts and con-siderations can originate. Van Gerrewey's philosophical essay is enriched in this issue with a photo section. For this image sec-tion, Katrien Daemers photographed fifteen studios of contemporary artists, leaving the artist absent but allowing the (un)completed work to speak all the more. With studio photographs of Nel Aerts, Kasper Bosmans, Ria Bosman, Michael Borremans, Luc Deleu, Jan De Vylder, Sophie Nys ... Christophe Van Gerrewey (1982) is an author, critic and teacher. He published three novels and a collection of essays between 2012 and 2017. He has been an editorial board member of architec-ture magazine OASE since 2010 and, since 2018, of art magazine De Witte Raaf. From 2015 to 2024, he taught architectural theory at EPFL in Switzer-land. In June 2024, the survey work Something Completely Different. Architecture in Belgium will be published by MIT Press (London/Cambridge).‎

‎In 2002, architects and fellow students David Van Severen, who worked at Neutelings Riedijk Architects, and Kersten Geers, started working for Stéphane Beel and Xaveer de Geyter, the OFFICE architect firm Kersten Geers, David Van Severen. One of their first designs, OFFICE 2: Entrance was for a notary in Antwerp. In the early days the duo started a collaboration with photographer Bas Princen to turn off the visual style of the office. In 2005, the agency designed OFFICE 15: Border Crossing to mark the architectural competition "Build the Border Wall". As an alternative idea for a border crossing between the United States of America and Mexico, they draw a garden that is walled with white, nine-meter high walls. Inside the walls are palm trees planted in a grid and pavilions for passport control and administration. The design is awarded the first prize. OFFICE Kersten Geers In 2007 David Van Severen designed the Handelsbeurs bridge on the Kouter in Ghent. The bridge runs over the Ketelvaart and connects the terrace of the Handelsbeurs with the Ketelvest. For this design, the office was awarded the Belgian Architecture Prize in 2009 in the Public Space category. For the 2008 Architecture Biennial in Venice, OFFICE designed the Belgian pavilion. With After the Party (1907-2007) the agency brought an ode to the Belgian pavilion that had turned 100 years ago, but had not had a party. Two years later, OFFICE received the Silver Lion in Venice for the most promising young architects. In 2014, the architectural office was declared the winner of an architectural competition for the new building of the Swiss French-speaking broadcaster Radio Télévision Suisse. The new broadcasting building will be located in the city of Lausanne on the campus of the Technical University and Université de Lausanne. OFFICE appears in October 2014 on a shortlist of five teams for the design of the new VRT building. In 2015, an episode of the Reyers 2020 Canvas series will be dedicated to the agency and their design. Ultimately, the Robbrecht & Daem architectural firm wins the competition. In 2016, OFFICE was appointed as the curator of the Biennale Interieur in Kortrijk. That year there is an exhibition on the work of OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen from March to May in the Brussels museum BOZAR. The retrospective exhibition Everything Architecture shows models and drawings together with artworks that are related to the style and idea of the office. ‎

‎Architectural Drawings of Antonio da Sangallo the Younger and His Circle. Vol. III: Antiquity and Theory‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2023 Hardback, 2 vols, 584 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:528 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9781912554393.‎

‎Summary These volumes complete the catalogue of the Sangallo workshop drawings collection housed at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Antonio da Sangallo the Younger (1484-1546) and his workshop were involved in St. Peter's Basilica, the Palazzo Farnese, and Villa Madama in Rome; vast fortification projects in Castro, Florence, Perugia, and Rome; and dozens of other secular and religious buildings throughout Italy. After Bramante, it was the Sangallo workshop that most strongly influenced sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Italian architecture. Andrea Palladio, Giacomo della Porta, Carlo Maderno, Francesco Borromini and Gianlorenzo Bernini are among those indebted to him. In all of the projects touched by the Sangallo workshop one senses an intense laboratory in action. This volume focuses on the study of ancient architecture, as well as the drawings for palaces and the Vatican. An international team of scholars has written entries for the drawings. The volume also includes essays by Christoph L. Frommel and Pier Nicola Pagliara, as well as a translation of the Codex Stosch-Rothstein by Ian Campbell.

‎Predigen im Karolingerreich. Die homiletischen Sammlungen von Paulus Diaconus, Lantperhtus von Mondsee, Rabanus Maurus und Haymo von Auxerre‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 515 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:24 b/w, 16 tables b/w., 3 maps b/w, Language: German. ISBN 9782503604145.‎

‎Summary By supporting the Christianization process within their realm, Carolingian rulers not only served matters of faith, obedience, and healing of the soul; they also intended to unify the conquered tribes, remove their pagan traditions, and strengthen royal power. Carolingian sermon collections provide significant insights into the cultural, political, and social background to the process of Christianization in the Carolingian world. Five sample collections compiled by leading intellectuals are now explored extensively and comparatively for the first time. Die Grundlagen eines christlichen Abendlandes wurden im Mittelalter gelegt. Im Frankenreich waren es im Anschluss an die Reformen unter Bonifatius insbesondere die karolingischen Kaiser und Könige des 8. und 9. Jahrhunderts, die zu den Hauptakteuren in der Verbreitung des Glaubens avancierten. Unter ihrer Leitung und im Verbund mit den Großen des Reiches wurde im Rahmen der so genannten karolingischen Renaissance auch die Religion vereinheitlicht. Der Nutzen war vielfältig - gemeinsame, religiös fundierte Vorstellungen von richtig und falsch, von gut und böse versprachen schließlich Potential für die Integration eroberter Volksstämme wie für die Konsolidierung der Herrschaft und waren nicht weniger bedeutsam für die christlich-moralische Unterweisung des gottbegnadeten Herrschers und des ihm anvertrauten populus Christianus. Eindrückliches Beispiel für diese ?innere Mission' sind fünf umfangreiche Predigtsammlungen, verfasst von führenden Intellektuellen der Zeit. Sie werden hier erstmals umfassend und vergleichend untersucht und erweisen sich dabei als überaus wertvolle und informative Quellen: In kulturgeschichtlicher Hinsicht etwa illustrieren sie das zeitgenössische Wissenschaftsverständnis, das sich unter dem Einfluss angelsächsischer Gelehrsamkeit nachhaltig veränderte. Auch die kulturrelle Aneignung patristischer Literatur oder die Mechanismen klösterlicher Literaturproduktion können anhand von Predigten nachverfolgt werden. In politikgeschichtlicher Hinsicht bezeugen sie wie kaum eine andere Quellengattung die sakrale Legitimation des weltlichen Herrschers und verdeutlichen ebenso eindrücklich die Bedeutung des Glaubens für die Herrschaftspraxis der Karolinger. Da die hier untersuchten Predigten auch repräsentativ für die praktische Verkündigung des in Kapitularien formulierten Regierungsprogramms sind, sorgt die Studie auch für ein besseres Verständnis der Kommunikation des herrscherlichen Willens. Nicht minder informativ sind homiletische Quellen in sozial- und alltagsgeschichtlicher Hinsicht, zeichnen sie doch ein lebhaftes Bild u.a. von den divergierenden Aufgaben, Verantwortlichkeiten und Lebenswelten von Großen und Untertanen, von Klerikern und Laien im Reich der Karolinger des 8. und 9. Jahrhunderts. TABLE OF CONTENTS Abbildungsverzeichnis Vorwort Abkürzungen Einleitung I. Die karolingische Reform des Predigtwesens A. Der Prediger B. Die Predigtziele . C. Die Predigtinhalte D.

‎Linkeroever. Sprong over de Schelde / Across the river ‎

‎, BE VAi , 24.50 Paperback, 255x200mm, 208p, English / Dutch (NL) edition .*nieuw ISBN 9789492567024.‎

‎Voor veel inwoners van de stad Antwerpen is Linkeroever onbekend terrein. Vanaf de oevers van de Schelde ziet de overkant van de rivier eruit als een verzameling hoge gebouwen, zwevend boven een groene strook. Hoewel herinneringen aan zomeravonden op het Sint-Annastrand deel uitmaken van het collectieve geheugen van de stad, wordt Linkeroever vaak over het hoofd gezien en vergeten. Het is 'aan de andere kant van de rivier' - een deel van de stad, maar toch ver weg. In 2016 lanceerde de Antwerpse stadsbouwmeester Christian Rapp een internationale ideeenwedstrijd met de expliciete ambitie om Linkeroever tot het voorwerp van ontwerpend onderzoek te maken en om het debat over het belang van dit deel van de stad voor heel Antwerpen aan te zwengelen. De wedstrijd was een zoektocht naar Leitbilder ? visies die een beeld geven van wat de toekomst van de stad zou kunnen zijn. Linkeroever. Sprong over de Schelde is bedoeld als meer dan louter het verzamelen van de inzendingen. In het boek vormt dit initiatief het uitgangspunt voor het opnieuw aan de orde stellen van de bredere vragen over de huidige stand van zaken in stedenbouw en ontwerp. Als Linkeroever een stad is die op het punt staat plaats te vinden, dan markeren dit boek en deze wedstrijd het begin van die ontwikkeling. For many of the city's inhabitants, the Antwerp Linkeroever is unknown territory. From the banks of the Scheldt, the opposite side of the river appears as a series of high-rise buildings hovering over a green strip. Although recollections of summer evenings on the beach of Sint-Anna are part of the collective memory of the city, the Linkeroever is often overlooked and forgotten. It is 'across the river' - a part of the city, yet also something separate. In 2016, Antwerp City Architect Christian Rapp launched an international ideas competition, with an explicit ambition to address the Linkeroever as an object of design research and to start the debate on the importance of this part of the city for the whole of Antwerp. The competition looked for Leitbilder - images that offer a vision on what the future of the city might be. Linkeroever. Across the River intends to extend beyond merely collecting the results of the competition. Instead, it takes this initiative as the starting point for readdressing larger questions about the state of urban development and design today. If the Linkeroever is a city about to happen, this book and the competition wish to mark the start of this journey. ‎

‎ANTOINE WATTEAU L'art, le marché et l'artisanat d'art‎

‎, mercaterfonds - fondsmercator, 2021 HB, 285 x 230 mm, 296 p, 160 Illustrations color. texte en Francais Exhibition catalogue. ISBN 9789462302839.‎

‎Si l'année 2021 marquera le tricentenaire de la mort du peintre français Antoine Watteau (1684-1721), la gloire que cet artiste connaissait de son vivant illumine l'univers de l'art aujourd'hui encore, et ses oeuvres restent des trésors très convoités des collectionneurs. La Fondation des châteaux et jardins prussiens de Berlin-Brandebourg possède, juste après le musée du Louvre à Paris, la plus vaste collection de tableaux de cet artiste. L'exposition temporaire et le catalogue d'exposition Antoine Watteau. Art, marché, artisanat rend hommage à ce grand artiste de l'époque des Lumières, au château de Charlottenbourg à Berlin. L'Enseigne de Gersaint, l'une des oeuvres majeures de Watteau, sera au coeur de l'exposition. Acquise en 1756 par Frédéric le Grand (1712-1786), cette peinture est considérée comme un chef-d'oeuvre depuis sa création. Créée à l'origine pour servir de panneau publicitaire à la galerie parisienne du marchand Gersaint, elle fait aujourd'hui encore l'objet de questionnements et de débats ayant trait non seulement au commerce de l'art, mais aussi, plus globalement, à notre rapport à l'art et au fait de collectionner des oeuvres. Deux figures importantes de la vie artistique parisienne seront présentées : Edme-François Gersaint (1694-1750) et Jean de Julienne (1686-1766). Le jeune et ambitieux marchand d'art Gersaint utilisa sa galerie du Pont Notre-Dame à Paris pour commercialiser dans toute l'Europe, après la mort de Watteau, les oeuvres de celui-ci, au moyen de nouveaux supports et formats publicitaires. En collaboration avec Julienne, collectionneur et mécène de Watteau, il fit reproduire tous les dessins et tableaux du peintre sous forme d'estampes. Avec cette édition intitulée le Recueil Julienne naissait le prototype d'une monographie au sens moderne du terme, qui devait marquer le début d'un véritable engouement : dans toute l'Europe, les collectionneurs, manufacturiers et commerçants d'art se procurèrent des estampes de Watteau. L'univers pictural de l'artiste inspira aussi les peintres de cour et l'artisanat prussiens. On retrouve les motifs de Watteau non seulement dans les peintures mais aussi sur les paravents, papiers peints, éventails, porcelaines et tapisseries de l'époque frédéricienne. Watteau inspire toujours les artistes contemporains, comme le peintre suisse Thomas Huber (né en 1955) ou la styliste britannique Vivienne Westwood (née en 1941) qui seront représentés au sein de cette exposition à travers une de leurs oeuvres. Leurs positions artistiques montrent que Watteau est perçu de nos jours comme un artiste innovant, et que ses oeuvres sont d'inépuisables sources d'inspiration et d'interrogations sur notre rapport à l'art. Cette exposition, qui se déroulera sous le parrainage de l'ambassadrice de France, Mme Anne-Marie Descôtes, étudiera Watteau sous ses nombreuses facettes et nous présentera un artiste culte, dont la gloire posthume naquit dans la galerie de Gersaint, sur le pont Notre-Dame de Paris. ‎

‎Order into Action. How Large-Scale Concepts of World-Order determine Practices in the Premodern World‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 332 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:5 b/w, 16 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503590462.‎

‎Summary The construction and application of models that order complex phenomena such as 'the world' is not a 'neutral' activity: theoretical models and ideas help us to perceive and categorize the information conveyed by experience and tradition alike; in turn, they also influence the behaviour and actions of individuals and groups. Collecting a global series of case studies on premodern societies, this volume proposes new approaches to research into premodern models of world-order and their effects. With its focus on the period between c. 1300 and 1600, it seeks to open up fresh perspectives for premodern Global History and the analysis of phenomena of transcultural contact and exchange. Focussing on religious, political, and geographical ideas and models, the contributions explore whether and how large-scale concepts influenced or even determined concrete actions. The examples include socio-religious concepts (Christianity, terra paganorum, d?r al-?arb), political concepts (empire) and geographical notions. A special section is dedicated to comparative insights into societies in Sub-Saharan Africa, Australia, and pre-Columbian America. Taken together, the contributions underline the importance and effects of historically shaped cultural traits in the long term.

‎Summary This volume brings together innovative contributions on the history and nature of families in the early modern Middle East, covering Central Asia, Iran, Ottoman Turkey and the Arab World from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century and beyond. It argues the importance of connecting the key concept of family in its widest possible meaning, whether descent group, lineage, household or dynasty, with the notion of transmission of knowledge, authority, status and power, and develops this idea through a pluridisciplinary and cross-regional approach. Based on primary sources in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish as well as art and material culture, the individual articles detail processes and dynamics of transmission, thus initiating a comparative dialogue.
