‎"Infini est le nombre des fous" Eccl siaste, chapitre I, 15 Au commencement tait "l'insens ", pauvre fou d pourvu de sagesse qui se d tourne de Dieu. Rel gu dans les marges, il sort de la sph re religieuse au cours du Moyen ge pour s' panouir dans le monde profane et devenir tour tour celui qui divertit, met en garde, d nonce, inverse les valeurs, voire renverse l'ordre tabli. Reconnaissable ses attributs embl matiques - capuchon oreilles d' ne ou cr te de coq, grelots, clochettes, marotte, costume bariol -, cette figure volue au fil des si cles et s'incarne en de multiples avatars : fous de cour, fous d'amour ou bouffons envahissent alors tout l'espace artistique occidental. Du Moyen ge la Renaissance et jusqu' l' poque moderne, un parcours exceptionnel dans l'art de l'Europe du Nord r unit ici pr s de 350 oeuvres aussi diverses que les personnages qu'elles mettent en sc ne : manuscrits enlumin s, livres imprim s, gravures, tapisseries, sculptures, objets pr cieux ou du quotidien et peintures d'illustres artistes, tels que Bosch, Bruegel, G ricault, Courbet...

‎Helden in harnas. gedrukte ridderverhalen uit de vijftiende en zestiende eeuw‎

‎, Sterck & De Vreese, 2021 Paperback,128 pp Illustrated. tekst Nederlands. ISBN 9789056157951.‎

‎Elisabeth de Bruijn, Marie-Charlotte Le Bailly, Steven Van Impe (red.) Ridders roepen bij jong en oud beelden op van heldhaftige avonturen, zwaardgevechten, magi rs, draken en hoofse liefde. Niet alle ridderverhalen zijn bewaard gebleven. Terwijl Karel ende Elegast terechtkwam in de literaire canon, verdwenen de verhalen over de vrouw met de vissenstaart Melusine, Helias de Zwaanridder of ridder Parijs en de mooie Vienna. De auteurs gaan op zoek naar die fascinatie voor de helden in harnas. De opkomst van de boekdrukkunst in de vijftiende en zestiende eeuw veranderde veel. Middeleeuwse verhalen werden gecommercialiseerd, aangepast en internationaal verspreid. De gebruikte verteltechnieken doen denken aan de verhaallijnen van soapseries en droegen bij aan het succes van ridderverhalen.// Elisabeth de Bruijn, Marie-Charlotte Le Bailly, Steven Van Impe (eds.) Knights evoke images of heroic adventures, sword fights, magicians, dragons and courtly love in young and old. Not all knight's stories have survived. While Karel ende Elegast ended up in the literary canon, the stories about the fish-tailed woman Melusine, Helias the Swan knight or knight Paris and the beautiful Vienna disappeared. The authors go in search of that fascination for the heroes in armor. The rise of the printing press in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries changed a lot. Medieval stories were commercialized, adapted and distributed internationally. The storytelling techniques used are reminiscent of the storylines of soap operas and contributed to the success of chivalric stories.‎

‎In 1933 werkte Elisabeth Ivanovsky af en toe in een drukkerij in Antwerpen om stencils te maken. Ze kreeg de kans om daar haar eigen creatie te publiceren - "Cirkus", een portfolio van zeven sjablonen inclusief omslag - onafhankelijk van de werken die voor de I.S.A.D. (La Cambre) zijn uitgevoerd. De portfolio werd voor het eerst tentoongesteld op de offici le Bessarabische salon in Chisinau in 1934 daarna in "Infancia y Arte moderno", IVAM Centre Julio Gonzalez, Valencia en "Russian Art of the Image for Children (1900-1945)" in het Centre de l'Illustration, H tel de Mora, Moulins. In 2010, opnieuw in Chisinau in het National Museum of Arts van Moldavi tijdens de herdenking "Elisabeth Ivanovschi - 100 ani de la nastere" in 2010 ook daarna tijdens "Lof der zeldzaamheid - Honderd schatten van het zeldzame boekenreservaat" in de Nationale Bibliotheek van Frankrijk Fran ois-Mitterrand in 2014-2015. Van de 59 exemplaren van de originele uitgave (Antwerpen: Uitgeverij Tijl) wordt er n bewaard door de BnF (Parijs) evenals vijf aquarelprojecten, n door de Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KBR, Brussel), n door het Van Abbemuseum - LS Collectie (Eindhoven), n door het Nationaal Museum voor Moldavische Kunst (Chisinau), n door de Bibliotheek Universiteit Van Amsterdam en twee door particulieren (Parijs, Brussel) en deze portfolio in Antwerpen). In 1933, Elisabeth Ivanovsky occasionally worked in a printing house in Antwerp to make stencils. She had the opportunity to publish her own creation there - "Cirkus", a portfolio of seven templates including cover - independent of the works submitted for the I.S.A.D. (La Cambre). The portfolio was first exhibited at the official Bessarabian salon in Chisinau in 1934 then at "Infancia y Arte moderno", IVAM Center Julio Gonzalez, Valencia and "Russian Art of the Image for Children (1900-1945)" at the Center de l'Illustration, H tel de Mora, Moulins. In 2010, again in Chisinau in the National Museum of Arts of Moldova during the commemoration "Elisabeth Ivanovschi - 100 ani de la nastere" in 2010 also afterwards in "Praise of rarity - One hundred treasures of the rare book reserve" in the National Library of France Fran ois-Mitterrand in 2014-2015.

‎Weather, water, and climate. How we feel, how productive we are, even our sheer existence, depends on these three things. The United States economic activity varies annually by 1.7% due to weather-that is more than $500 billion dollars each year! Weather applications on mobile devices are the second most popular 'apps' - more popular than social networking, maps, music,and news. In Treading on Thin Air, Dr. Elizabeth Austin, a world-renowned atmospheric physicist, reveals how the climate is intimately tied to our daily lives. The effects and impacts of weather on humans, society and the planet are changing with the times. Dr. Austin will demystify climate change, revealing what is really happening with our climate and why, whether it is El Nino, tornadoes, floods or hurricanes. Weather and society are at its most fascinating at extremes, and as Dr. Austin is one of a handful of forensic meteorologists around the globe. She has been called upon to investigate plane crashes, murders, wildfires, avalanches, even bombing cases. Drawing upon her rich experiences, Austin's Treading on Thin Air promises to be an enlightening and informative journey through the wild word of weather.‎

‎Lives and Afterlives. The Hiberno-Latin Patrician Tradition, 650?1100‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 179 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:6 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503606040.‎

‎Summary Saint Patrick is a central figure in the medieval Irish Church. As the converter saint he was a central anchor through which Irish people came to understand their complicated religious past as well as their new place in the wider Christian world. This study considers some of the earliest and most influential writings focused on Saint Patrick, and asks how successive generations forged, sustained and redirected aspects of the saint's persona in order to suit their specific religious and political needs. In this book Elizabeth Dawson, for the first time, treats the Hiberno-Latin vitae of Patrick as a body of connected texts. Seminal questions about the corpus are addressed, such as who wrote the Lives and why? What do the works tell us about the communities that venerated and celebrated the saint? And what impact did these Lives have on the success and endurance of the saint's cult? Challenging the perception that Patrick's legend was created and sustained almost exclusively by the monastic community at Armagh, she demonstrates that the Patrick who emerges from the Lives is a varied and malleable saint with whom multiple communities engaged.

‎Morning Change is a book on movement, location and nomadism in the oeuvre of the Brussels based German artist Heide Hinrichs (b. 1976). It is an invitation to follow different lines that are directed east ? east of Kassel, east of Busan, east of Seattle, east of London. The lines are drawn over continents and oceans, against the Earth?s own movement we unconsciously witness with each sunrise. Within the traces of these lines, static objects are put back into motion and they are made to leave their recommended positions of meaning. The publication brings together three groups of works, developed over different periods of time between 1999 and 2018, exploring the artist?s recurring interest in these topics. the horse ? a story that starts 10 year after the fall of the Iron Curtain, Silent Sisters?/?Stille Schwestern together with a series of drawings and installations that were conceived in response to DICTEE ? a text written by the Korean-American artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and On Some of the Birds of Nepal (Parting the Animal Kingdom of the East) ? an installation that Hinrichs created in the context of the first Kathmandu Triennale 2017. An essay by Elizabeth Haines is woven through Morning Change‎

‎One remarkable feature of European culture as it developed in the Renaissance was the accommodation it made with ancient paganism. The classical gods and their legends were allegorised, transformed into symbolic figures or emblematic scenes that might accord with Christian morality. At the same time a secular space was created in art for the depiction of the most popular myths, above all the love stories recounted by the ancient poets. These stories were not only attractive in themselves; they offered the opportunity to depict nude figures in narrative action, which the example of antiquity held forth as the highest goal for painting. Rubens was one of the greatest creators of classical allegory; he was also a supreme interpreter of the classical stories. No painter was so at home in the literature of the Greeks and Romans. When he painted for pleasure, which, increasingly in the course of his life, he felt able to do, he used pagan myth to express and celebrate themes of love, beauty and the creative forces of nature, often in wonderfully idiosyncratic ways. At the same time, as a Christian committed to the ideals of the Catholic Reformation, Rubens respected the restrictions generally placed on the depiction of pagan tales. Most of his mythological paintings were made for private settings, for display within houses (including his own) or in the galleries of princes, noblemen and prelates. It is happy accident of history that these splendid paintings are now widely visible in the great museums of the world.‎

‎Thinking through Rubens Selected Studies by Arnout Balis.‎

‎Over the course of his life, Arnout Balis (d. 2021) did a lot of thinking about and around Rubens. A principal beneficiary of this was the Corpus Rubenianum, that multi-volume catalogue of the work of the artist to which he devoted so much of his scholarly endeavour ? as author, and, still more, as the most generous of editors. But he also produced wide-ranging, as well as more closely detailed, studies on the artist that were written for a variety of contexts. Arnout Balis was an artist before he was an art historian, and the question of how Rubens channelled his ideas into visual form constantly attracted and intrigued him. He was fascinated, too, by the practicalities of the artist?s method of production, given the enormous output of Rubens?s studio. Not only did he rigorously assemble and analyse every scrap of information about pupils or associates of the master, but he made himself an expert in the work of each of Rubens?s artistic contemporaries. In all his investigations, whether involving the attribution of a painting, an iconographic puzzle or the solution to a historical problem, he took nothing for granted, treating any received idea or initial intuition with due scepticism until it could be shown to stand the test of the evidence, documentary and visual. The present volume shows the Balis method in action. It includes several studies already acclaimed as exemplary, and others which deserve to be more widely known. Five of them are made available here for the first time in English translation.

‎Pontormo at San Lorenzo. The Making and Meaning of a Lost Renaissance Masterpiece‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2022 Hardback, 384 pages, Size:225 x 300 mm, Illustrations:58 b/w, 90 col., 2 tables b/w., Language(s):English, Italian. ISBN 9781909400948.‎

‎Summary Pontormo's frescoes in San Lorenzo were the most important cycle of the sixteenth century after Michelangelo's Sistine frescoes.? They had an enormous impact on artists until their destruction in the eighteenth century, and their interpretation has also had a significant bearing not only on the reception of this artist, but also of late Renaissance art in Florence. Based on archival and historical research, this book determines a new date for the inception of the fresco cycle and reconstructs the day-by-day activity in the church that had an impact on Pontormo's project. ?It reveals Pontormo's painstaking working method. The new reconstruction corrects the visual order of the frescoed scenes, and conclusively demonstrates the orthodoxy of the choir's iconography.? It sets them into the artistic and architectural context of the church of San Lorenzo, relating them to works of art by Fra Bartolomeo and Michelangelo, as well as to complex liturgical and religious functions.? This study establishes the intentions of the Medici and the canons of the church in having Pontormo paint the specific space in the church where he painted, and the specific subjects that were included.? Finally, it reveals the unsuspected impact Pontormo's paintings had on other works of art. TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION: The introduction explains the history and historiography of both Pontormo in general and this commission in particular. CHAPTER 1: LIFE AND DEATH IN THE CHOIR Can we re-imagine the day-to-day progress of the commission? Beginning with a re-dating of the project, I shall trace the practical realities of daily painting in the choir, the comings and goings of artists and people: the ?world? of the choir will be explored. The frequent trope of Pontormo as an isolated loner and painfully slow artist will be disproved. The close supervision of the major stakeholders for the project, the Duke and the church, will be demonstrated. CHAPTER 2: REVERSALS OF FORTUNE My discovery that Pontormo reversed his preliminary sketches when they were scaled up into full-scale cartoons has demonstrated that several of the extant drawings used to reconstruct the choir must be inverted. Adjusting the reconstruction to take this into account resolves issues of visual, thematic, and iconographic coherence which have perplexed scholars. Essential elements in my new reconstruction reveal new and unexpected functions and meanings for Pontormo's paintings. These functions and iconographical connections place the lost paintings in a new light in relation to the fabric of the church of San Lorenzo. CHAPTER 3: LAWRENCE'S ACTS and CHAPTER 4: CYCLES OF SALVATION In these two sections I explain the significance of the frescoes. The first chapter focuses on the end wall, which was the public view of the choir and on which Pontormo's painting of Saint Lawrence provided a personal message of salvation to viewers. The second of these two chapters explains the entire set of images. This is the first time a seamlessly cohesive and inclusive interpretation of the cycle has been found. The new textual associations supplied in these chapters establishe that far from being of questionable orthodoxy, Pontormo's frescoes were a brilliant encapsulation of the functions of the choir. CHAPTER 5: THEN AND NOW: PONTORMO'S PLACE IN HISTORY Vasari's comments about the San Lorenzo commission in the Life of Pontormo created a negative view. This chapter corrects that, and replaces it with an appreciation of the gigantic task he confronted, the brilliance of his solutions, and the positive reception he and his paintings received.‎

‎Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836-1912). Geboren in Friesland en vanaf 1870 werkzaam in Londen, was ongelooflijk succesvol in het Victoriaanse Engeland en behoorde tot de meest gevierde en best betaalde kunstenaars. Hij specialiseerde zich in het weergeven van antieke zeden en gewoonten. Zijn voorstellingen waren gebaseerd op de nieuwste archeologische ontdekkingen en geschilderd met verbazingwekkende details. Met koel marmer, diepblauwe zeeen, kostbare stoffen en elegante personages, dit alles gestileerd volgens de Victoriaanse smaak, riep hij een poetisch beeld op van de antieke wereld. Naast de bijna obsessieve aandacht voor het detail worden Alma-Tadema's schilderijen gekenmerkt door bijzondere lichteffecten, composities met duizelingwekkende perspectieven en fraaie doorkijkjes. Deze illusionistische trucs, waardoor de toeschouwer als het ware in het beeld getrokken wordt, zouden later worden opgepakt door de filmindustrie van Hollywood.
