‎Corporate Splendour. A Typological, Iconographic and Social Approach to Civic Group Portraits in Brabant 1585-1800 ‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2014 Hardback, approx. 450 p., 150 b/w ill., 190 x 250 mm Languages: English . ISBN 9782503550374.‎

‎Civic group portraits, depicting trades and guilds, militias, magistrates, governors of charitable institutions and confraternities, were in the old duchy of Brabant during the Ancien Regime much better represented than is generally thought. Some hundred paintings are revealed, especially in the cities of Antwerp, Brussels, Leuven and Mechelen. For the first time, the book zooms in on this important subgenre of Flemish portraiture. The paintings present a wide variety of compositional types and integrated iconographic elements. Monumental life-size portraits coexist with small scale representations. At the same time, there is a clear differentiation in typology according to the city where they were produced. Along with the formal analysis, attention is paid to the material-technical genesis of these compositions, combining in some cases visual observation with scientific imagery and archival evidence. Also the question why patrons would order a group portrait, and how to interpret such ?corporate splendour?, is dealt with, making use of the richly collected contemporary documents, which permit to contextualize the portraits and, in some cases, reconstruct their original habitat. They thus shed light on a number of factors that were involved in the realization of Brabantine civic group portraits: the type of patrons and their socio-economic and political position; the immediate cause for ordering a group portrait; the artists called upon; the prices and terms of payment; and the destination ? (semi)public / private, sacral / secular ? of the paintings‎

‎Frans Floris Imagining a Northern Renaissance.‎

‎, Brill, 2018 Hardcover with dustjacket, xlix, 808 pp.; 391 color ills. 255 x 180 x 48 mm. Fine. ISBN 9789004307254.‎

‎Frans Floris de Vriendt radically transformed Netherlandish art. His monumental mythologies introduced a new appreciation for the heroic nude to the Low Countries and his religious art challenged standards of decorum. Born into a family of sculptors and architects, Floris refashioned his art through travel, first studying with the humanist painter Lambert Lombard in Liege and then continuing on to Italy. These experiences defined the hybridizing novelty of his art, forged by juxtaposing antique and modern, Italian and northern sources. This book maps Floris?s hybrid style onto shifting conceptions of cultural, religious, and political identity on the eve of the Dutch Revolt. It explores his collaborations and rivalries, engagement with artistic theory, hierarchical workshop, and revolutionary use of print.

‎, Davidsfonds, 2015 Gebonden, Hardcover 320 pagina's oblong; 30x26cm met prachtige illustraties in kleur. ISBN 9789059086371.‎

‎Kaarten vertellen verhalen. Naast de geografische informatie die ze bevatten, vertellen ze waarom, wanneer, voor wie en hoe ze zijn gemaakt. Kaarten zijn praktisch, maar ook kunstig, ze volgen een mode en zijn voorbeelden van technisch kunnen. Al die aspecten van de cartografische productie komen aan bod in deze selectie van 100 kaarten over Vlaanderen. 'Vlaanderen in 100 kaarten' schetst aan de hand van kaarten de evolutie van wat vandaag het Vlaamse gewest is. Met kaarten van de Nederlanden, Belgi , Frankrijk en Duitsland, van graafschappen en hertogdommen, departementen en provincies, stadsplannen. De oudste kaart is handgetekend en is meer dan 600 jaar oud, de recentste is virtueel en eeuwig jong. Naast belangrijke historische gebeurtenissen uit het Vlaamse verleden schenkt het boek bijzondere aandacht aan de hoogtepunten in de geschiedenis van de cartografie. Figuren als Abraham Ortelius en Gerard Mercator zijn overbekend, maar er zijn veel meer landgenoten die een plaats hebben verdiend in dit boeiende verhaal. Wouter Bracke is gewoon hoogleraar aan de ULB. Hij was hoofd van de afdeling Kaarten en Plans van de Koninklijke Bibliotheek van Belgi tot hij eind 2012 als directeur van de Academia Belgica naar Rome vertrok. In de Koninklijke Bibliotheek co rdineert hij wetenschappelijk onderzoek in de instelling, en in het bijzonder wetenschappelijke projecten over cartografie.‎

‎Live or Die: Philippe Vandenberg and Bruce Nauman ‎

‎, Hannibal Books, 2017 Gebonden, Hardcover , 79 PAGES, illustr. ENG. edition. *new / NIEUWSTAAT. ISBN 9789492677006.‎

‎This publication combines the works of Belgian artist Philippe Vandenberg (1952-2009) and American artist Bruce Nauman (b. 1941). At first, it may seem startling to see Nauman's small but dense selection of works alongside those by Vandenberg. The artists never met one another and they could not be more different in their choice of artistic media. And yet there's something that links the oeuvre of these apparently divergent artists. This publication examines that extraordinary link. The art of both Vandenberg and Nauman is direct, uncompromising and distressing. They share a common attitude towards their artistic practices. Their works are raw and uncouth, finished just to the point where they enter the onlooker's conscience as a kind of prelude or genesis to something. The work of Vandenberg and Nauman originates form the same source: frustration. They cry out in despair at the dark side of humanity, mourning our propensity for hatred and violence, coldness and vilification. They explore the impossibility of genuine, uncompromised communication between individual people. Both artists succeed in creating images that capture the abyss within ourselves, our failings and our cruelty. Lust and pain, violence and horror are all too close to each other. It is said that art is about life and death. That may be melodramatic, but it's also true, Nauman said. LIVE OR DIE! Nothing more, nothing less. The book is edited by Wouter Davidts, with texts by Dr. Brigitte Kolle (Head of Contemporary Art, Hamburger Kunsthalle), John C. Welchman (Professor of Art History, University of California, San Diego) and Anna Dezeuze (Lecturer in Art History, Ecole Superieure d Art et de Design Marseille Mediterranee). It accompanies an exhibition at Gallery Sofie Van de Velde in Antwerp: 30.03.2017 - 21.05.2017.‎

‎Stocks, seasons and sales. Food supply, storage and markets in Europe and the New World, c. 1600-2000‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Paperback, x + 224 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:30 b/w, 23 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503585093.‎

‎Summary This book presents ten case-studies by eminent scholars dealing with food supply, storage and markets from c. 1600 to c. 2000. Together they present a long-term history of the tools to regulate the rhythms and seasonal patterns of the food production and distribution process. How were the vast flows of staple food needed for metropolitan areas organised? What practical difficulties had to be overcome to preserve this food safely? Did people respond to price patterns in search for profit? Were governments successful in imposing regulation? In dealing with these issues, the contributing authors adopt different approaches and investigate cases from England, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, France and Mexico. The focus on the stocks and flows of grains and other foodstuffs raises new questions combining economic, social, political, and environmental issues in the study of agricultural markets and food policies.

‎P., Blankenstein, 1812, un volume in 4 relié en demi-chagrin noir à coins (reliure de l'époque), (2), 135pp., (1)‎

‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Hoene-Wronski's extant manuscripts and published writings cover a wide range of knowledge. His philosophy, which is central, forms the basis for reforming various branches of the exact and social sciences. His philosophical notions were formed under Kant's influence... He applied his philosophy to mathematics in a series of works that began with Introduction à la philosophie mathématique... Hoëné Wronski criticized the standpoint taken by Lagrande in his Théorie des fonctions analytiques, disagreeing with both Lagrange's insufficient grounds for the use of the series development and his opposition to the introduction of infinite quantities in analysis... A recurrent pattern in Hoëne Wronski's relations with various institutions indicates a marked psychopathic tendency... His aberrent personality tempt one to dismiss his work as the product of a gigantic fallacy engendered by a troubled and deceived mind. Later investigation of his writings, however, leads to a different conclusion. Hidden among the multitude of irrelevancies are important concepts that show him to have been a highly gifted mathematician whose contribution, unfortunately, was overshadowed by the imperative of his all-embracing absolute philosoph".
