Collecting Asian Art. Cultural Politics and Transregional Networks in Twentieth-Century Central Europe
Leuven, UPL - KU Leuven, 2024. Paperback, 272 pages, 234 x 156 x 13 mm,Illustrations and other content description: 32 pp. in colour. English text. ISBN: 9789462703780
Museum collections of Asian art in Central Europe. Rather than centering on the well-known collections in Western European and North American museums, Collecting Asian Art turns to museum collections of Asian art in Central Europe which emerged from the late 19th century onwards. Highlighting the dimensions of Central European connectedness, this volume explores how these collections evolved and changed under changing cultural and political conditions from the pre-World War I to the post-World War II periods. With a primary focus on collections of East Asian, South Asian, and West Asian art in Vienna, Prague, Berlin, Warsaw, Kraków, Budapest, and Ljubljana, it outlines the transregional connections and networks that gradually developed. Collecting Asian Art locates Asian art across the twentieth-century in Central Europe via discourse and ideology, and discusses key collections and the way individual collectors built their networks. It thus explores transregional connections that developed through collecting activities and strategies in the prewar, interwar and postwar eras. Contributors also examine the personal connections between a group of Indologists from postwar Prague and modernist Indian artists from the early 1950s to the 1980s and also discuss the systematic archiving of East Asian art collections in Slovenia. A concluding conversation looks at colonisation and decolonisation from a broader perspective by approaching it through recent art historical discussions on the global dimensions of modernism. By defining the region through its external relationships and its entanglements with regions across Asia rather than as a self-contained unit, the contributions in this volume outline how these transregional connections and networks evolved and changed over time, thus highlighting their singularity in comparison to developments in Western Europe. Based on recent research, Collecting Asian Art reveals neglected sources while reinterpreting well-known ones.

Painting Restoration Before the Restauration. The Origins of the Profession in France,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2012. Hardback, 320 p., 204 b/w ill., 240 x 280 mm. ISBN: 9781905375349
The art of painting restoration is almost as old as the art of painting itself. Accidents and time inevitably alter the appearance of a painting, and these changes begin as soon as it leaves the artist's easel. Purposeful alterations due to changes in taste have also contributed to transformations that paintings often underwent. Clearly the type of restoration procedures considered ethically acceptable have changed over the centuries. From the Renaissance until the end of the nineteenth century, European paintings were considered as two-dimensional illusions of a three-dimensional space, and any disruption to this illusion was considered as damage requiring repair. There was no acknowledgement of painting supports as an integral part of a picture; only the paint layer and the subject represented were appreciated. As a result, panels were often thinned and cradled in order to flatten the painted surface so that the image depicted could be viewed with less distraction. Supports were even considered replaceable. Total transfer of a painted surface onto a new surface was an acceptable procedure in the eighteenth century - even until the mid-twentieth century. Invisible retouching was used with the intent of returning the illusion of the painted surface to its 'original state'; the history of the work was not important. Until recent times, it was even acceptable to alter the format of a work of art to fit a frame or a space on the wall. Traditionally, if a painting was accidentally damaged or if 'adjustment' were required, a painter was entrusted with this task. In the past, the professions of painter and painting restorer overlapped, and both were trained as apprentices. Gradually the professional painting restorer appeared in Europe, and by the mid-eighteenth century, the profession was established. Earlier examples of professional restorers, especially in Italy, have been recorded while in other European countries, such as Britain, the career of the professional painting restorer began much later. During the later part of the eighteenth century in France, the painting restorers of the French Royal Collection became celebrated throughout Europe for their achievements. The political situation had an important influence on the development of the profession in France. The reigns of Francois I (1515-47), Louis XIV (1643-1715), Louis XVI (1774-93), and then the coup d'etat by Napoleon Bonaparte and the First Napoleonic Empire (1804-14) led to an increasing centralisation of the French Empire. The arts were meant to reflect the power of the state; thus Louis XIV and his political advisor and Surintendent from 1661 to 1685, Jean-Baptiste Colbert (1619-83), became the patrons of the French Academie de Peinture et Sculpture founded in 1648. A revision of the Academy's statutes in 1665 required students to submit annually drawings that focused on the heroic actions of the king. Paintings conferred status on their owner - in this instance the king and the French nation. It then became a necessity to have the paintings on display looking their best, and the skill of the French painting restorers was even used as a justification for Napoleon's policy of confiscation of works of art from all over Europe. The relationship between the French government's administration, firstly under the Ancien Regime, then under the new Republic, and the painting restorers they employed and supervised is related in this book. The manner in which changes occurred involves colourful personalities whose stories are often amusing and sometimes poignant, but above all they help us to understand the present-day situation. For during the turbulent years of the French Revolution new patterns emerged, which to a large extent remained in place in France for over two centuries. New book.

Between Tradition and Innovation
Gregorio a San Vicente and the Flemish Jesuit Mathematics School
Brill, 2021. Hardcover, 294 pages Illustrated. ISBN: 9789004414990
In Between Tradition and Innovation, Ad Meskens traces the profound influence of a group of Flemish Jesuits on the course of mathematics in the seventeenth century. Using manuscript evidence, this book argues that one of the Flemish mathematics school?s professors, Gregorio a San Vicente (1584?1667), had developed a logically sound integration method more than a decade before the Italian mathematician Bonaventura Cavalieri. Although San Vincente?s superiors refused to grant him permission to publish his results, his methods went on to influence numerous other mathematicians through his students, many of whom became famous mathematicians in their own right. By carefully tracing their careers and outlining their biographies, Meskens convincingly shows that they made a number of ground-breaking contributions to fields ranging from mathematics and mechanics to optics and architecture.

The 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.

Bringing the Holy Land Home. The Crusades, Chertsey Abbey, and the Reconstruction of a Medieval Masterpiece
Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2022. Hardback, 376 pages, Size:240 x 240 mm, Illustrations:136 col., Language: English. ISBN: 9781912554942
Summary A carefully-integrated group of studies begins with the so-called ?Chertsey? ceramic tiles, depicting combat between King Richard the Lionheart and Saladin. Found at Chertsey Abbey not far outside London and admired since the nineteenth century, we present here a new reconstruction of both the tiles and their previously-undeciphered Latin texts. The reconstruction demonstrates not only that the theme of the entire mosaic is the Crusades, but also that the overall appearance of the tiles, when laid as a floor, draws from the composition and iconography of imported Islamic and Byzantine silks. Essays illuminate specific material contexts that similarly witness western Europe's, and particularly England's, engagement with the material culture of the eastern Mediterranean, including ceramics, textiles, relics and reliquaries, metalwork, coins, sculpture, and ivories.

The Pictor Doctus, between Knowledge and Workshop. Artists, Collections and Friendship in Europe, 1500-1900
Brepols, 2022. Paperback, 279 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:11 b/w, 70 col., Language(s):English, Spanish. ISBN: 9782503589084
Summary Recent research on the collections treasured by artists during their lifetime, or those collections they had access to, has contributed significantly to the understanding of their own compositions. Traditional historiography has favoured the study of the royal and aristocratic collections that could have inspired artists rather than of the artists' own collections. Only those of the 'great' artists, such as Rubens, Bernini, Velázquez or Mengs, have been comprehensively examined. In the eighteenth century, the notion of collecting itself was transformed. An aesthetic taste was fostered and developed through the gathering of objects, and the personal collection of an artist could therefore provide the key to a more thorough understanding of their production. The nineteenth century witnessed artists bequeathing their collections to different institutions, sometimes even creating their own institutional collection. Architects, painters, sculptors and goldsmiths assembled some of the most important artistic collections of their time in their workshops. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction.

Jean Bellegambe (c. 1470-1535/36)
Making, Meaning and Patronage of his Works
Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2023. Hardback,Pages: 160 pages, Size:210 x 297 mm Illustrations:10 b/w, 105 col.Language(s):English. ISBN: 9782503574370
The book by Anna Koopstra about Jean Bellegambe adds an extremely careful, thorough, and beautifully produced study to the monographs on early Dutch painters. (...) More traditional art historical research?iconographic, stylistic, archival, and historiographic?is combined with modern technical research and a keen eye for drawings and graphics as visual sources for the artist. (?) The beautifully produced and clearly written book represents excellent and versatile art historical research that, through in-depth analysis of a small group of characteristic artworks, offers a new perspective on an important artist, his work and methods, as well as the impact of that distinctive body of work." Drs. Lidewij de Koekkoek (VNK, Frans Hals Museum) - Jury President - 2023 Karel van Manderprijs BIO Anna Koopstra (1980) studied art history at the University of Groningen (MA, 2004) and obtained her doctorate from the Courtauld Institute of Art (PhD, 2016). She has held curatorial positions and research fellowships at the Suermondt-Ludwig Museum (2005-08), The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Slifka interdisciplinary Fellow, 2008-10), The National Gallery (2015-17), and the Courtauld (Associate Caroline Villers Research Fellow, 2016/17). Her research focuses on the technical investigation of paintings, and in particular on the making and meaning of early Netherlandish paintings. SUMMARY Jean Bellegambe (c. 1470- 1535/36), whose career as far as we know spanned the first three decades of the sixteenth century, was a successful painter. His patrons included some of the most high-ranking clerics in the Habsburg-Burgundian Netherlands as well as members of the ruling class of Douai, the town where he lived and worked all his life. This is the first study to appear since Dehaisnes' 1890 monograph that is exclusively devoted to the artist. By reassessing primary evidence - archival documents and material evidence from the works of art themselves - it aims to highlight Bellegambe's artistic achievements. Close scrutiny of his paintings and investigation of the artist's working methods will show that Bellegambe visualised the concerns of his patrons by closely linking the physical characteristics of his works to their original imagery, function and use. This volume presents a series of five case studies of his works that were made for a monastic community, two individual clerics, a town hall and a bourgeois layman, thus providing rich evidence of patronage and audiences. The objective here is to examine how Bellegambe met the challenges posed by these commissions, and to gain further insight into the practice of a skilled artist who - rooted in a long line of craftsmanship and artistic tradition and in close collaboration with his colleagues and patrons - produced a body of highly original works.

Aemulatio Italorum. La réception culturelle des gravures de Mantegna dans l?art germanique au temps d?Albrecht Dürer
Brepols, 2023. Paperback, 336 pages, Size:210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:0 b/w, 151 col., Language: French. ISBN: 9782503604985
Summary À la Renaissance, si le medium de la gravure permet désormais aux artistes de rivaliser entre eux à distance, dès la fin du xve siècle, la diffusion des modèles gravés par l'atelier du prestigieux peintre de cour des marquis de Mantoue, Andrea Mantegna, a suscité sur le territoire germanique une véritable émulation d'ordre culturelle, dans laquelle la question du rapport à l'identité occupe une place fondamentale. Dès lors, dans les images, deux paradigmes se dessinent : d'une part le Welsch, qui désigne ce qui est romain, de style à l'antique, et, plus généralement, italien ; d'autre part le Deutsch, qui renvoie à une tradition artistique et aux coutumes typiquement germaniques. Inscrite dans la problématique des transferts culturels, cette étude analyse, dans une approche résolument pluridisciplinaire, les différentes transformations iconographiques, formelles et stylistiques dont les motifs empruntés aux estampes de Mantegna ont fait l'objet ainsi que l'appareil rhétorique qui accompagne ces transformations pour mieux leur donner du sens (comparaison, parodie, dissimulation, etc.). De Dürer à Peter Vischer le Jeune à Nuremberg, de l'atelier de Daniel Hopfer à celui de Jörg Breu l'Ancien à Augsbourg, d'Hans Baldung Grien à Matthias Grünewald dans la région rhénane et en Alsace, d'Urs Graf à Hans Holbein le Jeune à Bâle, de l'atelier d'Altdorfer implanté à Ratisbonne à celui de Wolf Huber, situé à Passau : tous les centres artistiques et humanistes de la Renaissance germanique sont abordés.

La La vie chromatique des objets. Une anthropologie de la couleur de l'art contemporain
Brepols, 2019. Hardback, 260 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:10 b/w, 38 col., Language: French. ISBN: 9782503583211
Summary What are the relationships between color techniques and art practices? Should we study the materiality of color in order to highlight its fundamental social dimension? Is an anthropological study of contemporary colorist art a way to understand the links between technics, aesthetics and society? These are some of the questions addressed in this book that aims to offer a journey through industrial color production, based on case studies of French contemporary colorist art works. In this monograph, Arnaud Dubois develops a new theoretical framework to study color: "color acts"; along with "agglutination processes" and "actions upon chromatic matter." To think about color as an act consists in observing colorization practices and describing the work situations where these acts are performed. To analyze color acts is to consider the means of action implemented by the multiple actors in the colorization of artefacts and identify the possible logics of chromatic actions. Through a historical and ethnographic work, the 17 color objects studied in this book deploy a large spectrum of color practices and usages that are instrumental for understanding the social construction of color in contemporary Western Europe. Quelles relations observe-t-on entre les techniques de production des couleurs et les pratiques artistiques modernes ? Entretiennent-elles des rapports de configuration réciproque ? Doit-on considérer la dimension matérielle de la couleur pour illuminer son caractère proprement social ? Voici quelques questions qui sont débattues dans ce livre qui a pour ambition d'offrir un voyage au coeur de la production des couleurs du monde occidental contemporain à travers l'exemple de la fabrication d'objets de l'art contemporain. Dans ce travail, Arnaud Dubois déploie une nouvelle proposition analytique pour l'étude de la couleur en recourant à la notion « d'actes de couleur » - avec celles de « processus d'agglutination » et « d'actions sur la matière chromatique » - comme un nouvel outil théorique et méthodologique pour étudier les procédés de coloration. Penser la couleur comme un acte consiste à s'intéresser aux pratiques de colorisation et à décrire les situations de travail dans lesquelles sont effectués ces actes de couleur. Analyser les actes de couleur c'est donc en premier lieu s'intéresser aux moyens d'actions mis en oeuvre par des acteurs multiples dans la coloration d'artefacts et repérer s'il existe des logiques d'actions chromatiques. Les 17 objets de couleurs qui sont étudiés dans cet ouvrage et les acteurs multiples liés de façon hétérogène à ces artefacts déploient alors un spectre large de pratiques et d'usages de la couleur fort utile pour comprendre, à partir d'un travail historique et ethnographique, la construction sociale de la couleur en Europe.

The Ghent Altarpiece, Research and Conservation of the Exterior
Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2020. Hardcover, X+430 pages ., 220 x 280 mm,. English. ISBN: 9782930054384
The outer panels of the Ghent Altarpiece had been overpainted to a considerable extent. The virtuosity of the Eyckian technique and aesthetics remained hardly visible. And yet, this had never been observed before the start of the conservation treatment. By removing the overpaint, the tonal richness and the coherent rendering of light and space once again came to the fore. Especially the suggestion of volumes and the spaciousness of the ensemble gained strength because of the virtuoso play of deep shadows and bright light accents, and not in the least because of the surprising trompe-l'oeil effect of the frames conceived as a stone framework. Or to put it in the words of the comments of one of the experts, dr. Maryan Ainsworth: The paintings live and breathe again in the time of the Van Eyck brothers. The sharp observation skills, the quick, accurate execution, the knowledge, curiosity and ingenuity about all the things that are depicted, are now unveiled after centuries. The profit for the knowledge of and further research into the essence of Eyckian aesthetics is considerable. And finally there is the discovery that the much-discussed quatrain was applied simultaneously with the polychromy of the frames: a real 'coup de foudre' in the discourse of the current art-historical research! The subtleties of the Eyckian technique could also be mapped out in more detail. How the Van Eycks managed to keep the final result and the desired effect in mind during every phase of the execution, from imprimatura to finishing touch. The artists made a statement about the art of painting, giving ?technique? as such a new prominence. The Ghent Altarpiece may be understood at some point as a major showpiece for a highly sophisticated pictorial technique. We hope that this publication of the results of the research and conservation campaign on the exterior of the altarpiece can help future researchers to ask better questions. Questions, and answers, that may produce a more balanced picture of Van Eyck's techniques, methods and materials.

Magritte and Literature, Elective Affinities. Magritte?s interarts dialog with literature
The Belgian surrealist artist Rene Magritte (1898?1967) is well known for his thought-provoking and witty images that challenge the observer?s preconditioned perceptions of reality.
BE -, UPL, 2014. paperback, 288 p., English. ISBN: 9789058679604
Magritte and Literature examines some of the artist's major paintings whose titles were influenced by and related to works of literature. Baudelaire's The Flowers of Evil, Goethe's Elective Affinities, and Poe's The Domain of Arnheim are representative examples of Magritte's interarts dialog with literary figures. His strategy is to paint visible thought, and this reverse ekphrasis, the opposite of a rhetorical description of a painting, undermines the written text. When he succeeds,

KADOC Artes 2. Middeleeuwse muurschilderingen horen vandaag als vanzelfsprekend bij een middeleeuws kerkgebouw. Dat was niet zo in de vroege 19de eeuw. Toen waren bijna nergens schilderingen zichtbaar. Die zaten immers meestal verborgen onder dikke verf- of kalklagen. Kort na de Belgische onafhankelijkheid in 1830 werd de monumentenzorg belangrijk in de jonge Staat en kwamen grootse restauratieprojecten op gang. Tijdens die werkzaamheden werden op veel plaatsen schilderingen ontdekt die konden rekenen op een grote belangstelling: zowel de regering en de Koninklijke Commissie voor Monumenten als de archeologische en de neogotische beweging schonken ruim aandacht aan de vondsten, elk vanuit een eigen invalshoek en motivering. Wat dacht men over deze schilderingen? Wat wist en schreef men erover? Wat deed men ermee? Werden zij gedocumenteerd? Hoe werden zij gerestaureerd en geintegreerd in het restauratieconcept van het kerkinterieur? Dit kunstboek brengt de geschiedenis van de middeleeuwse kerkbeschildering in de 19de eeuw, met bijzondere aandacht voor de helaas vaak toegepaste 'ontpleistering' van kerkinterieurs, waardoor een groot deel van de beschilderingen onherroepelijk verloren is gegaan. Hiermee wordt een nieuw hoofdstuk geschreven in de geschiedenis van de monumentenzorg. In een epiloog wordt het onderzoek getoetst aan de hedendaagse kennis en restauratieopvattingen. Tegelijk is een inventaris van de middeleeuwse muurschilderingen in Belgische kerken toegevoegd, een unieke 'status quaestionis' van een fascinerend aspect van de kunstgeschiedenis. Nieuw boek.

New Horizons in Trecento Italian Art
Brepols, 2021. Hardback, 320 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:200 col., Language: English. ISBN: 9782503586182
Summary The fourteenth century in Italy, the age of Giotto, Dante, and Boccaccio, widely known as the trecento, was a pivotal moment in art history and in European culture. The studies in this volume present new approaches to art in this important but often neglected period of the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance. Scholars at various stages in their careers discuss a wide range of topics including architecture, cultural exchange, materiality, politics, patronage, and devotion, contributing to a new understanding of how art was made and experienced in this nodal century. These papers were originally presented at the Andrew Ladis Trecento Conference held at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston in November of 2018.

Nieuwe kijk op oude kleur in conservatie-restauratie. / nouveau regard sur la couleur ancienne
en conservation-restauration
Brugge, Keure, 2024. softcover, 152 pages. 29.8 x 21cm. afbeeldingen in kleur en z/w Texte en Francais / Nederlands ISBN: 9789048650170
De kennis en de juiste perceptie van kleuren, inbegrepen hun degradatie in de tijd, zijn belangrijk in de praktijk van het beroep van conservator-restaurateur. De kleur ontstaat uit de gebruikte materialen en uit de afwerking. Pigmenten of kleurstoffen, bindmiddelen, maar ook drager, onderliggende lagen, vernissen, al dan niet gekleurde beschermlagen spelen allemaal een belangrijke rol bij de perceptie van kleuren, evenals bepaalde externe factoren zoals licht en omgevingsomstandigheden. De conservator-restaurateur moet op de hoogte blijven van nieuwe ontdekkingen, of het nu gaat om de verschijnselen van chromatische degradatie van de materialen waaruit de werken bestaan, maar ook van de huidige oplossingen die zijn ontwikkeld om een betere kleurstabiliteit te garanderen. Het boek bevat casestudies uit de praktijk, maar ook recent onderzoek of methodieken in functie van de praktijk van de conservatie-restauratie. Het thema Nieuwe kijk op oude kleur in de conservatie-restauratie omvat vele specialisaties van de conservatie-restauratie, zoals schilderijen, muurschilderingen, sculptuur, meubilair, textiel, grafische documenten, metaal, ceramiek, hedendaagse kunst, preventieve conservatie, historische interieurs en afwerkingslagen. ------La connaissance et la bonne perception des couleurs, tout comme la prise en considération de leur dégradation au cours du temps, occupent une place importante dans le travail de tout conservateur-restaurateur. La couleur émane du matériau brut ou de couches de finition. Pigments ou colorants, liants, mais également support, couches sous-jacentes, vernis, lasures ou couches de protection colorées ou non jouent tous un rôle important dans la perception des couleurs, tout comme certains facteurs externes tels que l'éclairage et les conditions de l?environnement. Le conservateur-restaurateur doit se tenir au courant des nouvelles découvertes, que ce soit au niveau des techniques anciennes de mise en ?uvre que des phénomènes de dégradation chromatique des matériaux constitutifs des ?uvres, mais aussi des solutions actuelles mises au point pour garantir une meilleure stabilité des couleurs qu'il emploie. Le livre contient des études de cas issues de la pratique, mais aussi des recherches ou méthodologies récentes liées à la pratique de la conservation-restauration. Le thème Nouveau regard sur la couleur ancienne en conservation-restauration couvre beaucoup de spécialités de la conservation-restauration, comme peinture, peinture murale, sculpture, mobilier, textile, documents graphiques, métal, céramique, art contemporain, conservation préventive, intérieurs historiques et couches de finition. ------ INHOUD - SOMMAIRE | 5 LIGNES DIRECTRICES POUR L?ÉCLAIRAGE D?UN ATELIER DE CONSERVATION-RESTAURATION 13 LAURA DEBRY INCOLORE VERSUS DÉCOLORÉ : LES OUTILS ET STRATÉGIES PRÉVENTIVES DE CONTRÔLE DE LA LUMIÈRE POUR LES MATÉRIAUX COLORÉS SENSIBLES 21 CATHELINE PÉRIER-D?IETEREN & XENIA WASILEWSKI LA FONDATION PÉRIER-D?IETEREN 24 TATIANA GERSTEN LE MANUSCRIT DES BASSES DANSES DE MARGUERITE D?AUTRICHE (KBR MS 9085) : L?ÉNIGME DE LA FABRICATION DU PARCHEMIN NOIR SUR LEQUEL MUSIQUE ET DANSE SCINTILLENT D?OR ET D?ARGENT 35 FRANZISKA BUNSE & URSULA HALLER A CASE STUDY IN THE CONSERVATION OF CONTEMPORARY MONOCHROME MATTE PAINTINGS.

The Pucci of Florence: Patronage and Politics in Renaissance Italy
Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2020. Hardback, iv + 359 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:296 col., Languages: English, Italian. ISBN: 9781912554256
Summary Shrewd and ruthless, the Pucci were Medici loyalists whose political and cultural alignment with the most powerful family in Renaissance Florence was rewarded with wealth and influence. The Pucci's martial support for the Medici in the dangerous business of ruling Tuscany drove their transformation from a clan of minor guildsmen to a noble dynasty with three cardinals to its name. Over the next two centuries, they showcased their exalted status with art and architecture that mirrored Medici tastes and reflected the values of civic humanism. The political and religious turmoil of the High Renaissance is writ large in this vivid portrait of the Pucci cardinals and their artistic patronage, a cultural biography inflected by the expulsion of the Medici from Florence, the Sack of Rome, the Reformation, and the occupation of Italy by Emperor Charles V. New archival evidence documents the chapels, palaces, and villas that were built, expanded, and decorated by the Pucci family in Rome, Tuscany, and Umbria. These celebrated projects were carried out by luminaries of Renaissance art and architecture: Michelozzo, the Pollaiuolo brothers, the Sangallo family, Baccio d'Agnolo, the Montelupo workshop, and others. A remarkable body of inventories reveals how the family's trials and tribulations shaped the fate of their estates and illustrates the role luxury goods played in the social ambitions of this newly-arrived family. A previously unknown catalogue of Palazzo Pucci tells the tale of the nineteenth-century dispersal of the family's priceless Renaissance artworks, a collection that once mirrored the splendor of the Medici court.

Imagery and Ingenuity in Early Modern Europe. Essays in Honor of Jeffrey Chipps Smith
Brepols, 2019. Paperback, 268 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:19 b/w, 91 col., Language: English. ISBN: 9782503568607
Summary The joint ideas of imagery and ingenuity are meant to represent the variety of topics and questions explored by Jeffrey Chipps Smith throughout his career. The term ingenuity, in particular, encompasses the creative genius of the artist and the resourcefulness of acquirers in the use and display of art objects. This collection of essays brings together new scholarship on European art from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries by a range of artists such as Albrecht Altdorfer, Hans Backoffen, Hans Baldung Grien, Sebald Beham, Gerard David, Albrecht Dürer, Juan de Flandes, Hans Holbein the Elder, Hans Schwarz, Joos van Cleve, Lucas van Leyden, Rembrandt van Rijn, Benedetto da Rovezzano, Jacob Cornelisz. van Oostzanen, and Nicolaus Gerhaert von Leyden. Topics include the training of artists and the practices of making; the communicative importance of particular subjects, iconographies, and artistic processes; the shifting meanings of objects due to re-use; and the importance of location and tradition in the creation and reception of artworks. Imagery and Ingenuity is an innovative and instructional collection for students and scholars of Early Modern art.

The Fate of Early Italian Art during World War Two. Protection, Rescue, Restoration
Brepols, 2024. Hardback, 416 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:59 b/w, 42 col., 1 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN: 9782503609744
Summary In Italy, art historians can study wall-paintings, tombs, and stained-glass windows in the early churches for which they were created because they have been preserved in situ over the centuries. This book explores one fraught period of this critical preservation work, during the five years of World War II in Italy, when numerous artistic monuments of value were vulnerable to damage and destruction. Works of art from the late Middle Ages and Early Renaissance lie at the focus, among them, the Angevin tombs of Santa Chiara in Naples, the frescoes of Pisa's Camposanto, Piero della Francesca's wall-painting of Sigismondo in the Tempio Malatestiano in Rimini, and the Mazzatosta Chapel in Viterbo. Rooted in the archives, the narrative charts the formidable task of safeguarding stationary art in the midst of aerial and ground attacks. Taking centre stage are the struggles endured by heritage superintendents, the innovations tested under pressure by art restorers, and the desperate position of clerical custodians of churches. The Allied Monuments Officers, who arrived over halfway through the war, provided substantial assistance in the rescue of damaged art from ruined buildings. This study offers an original perspective by emphasizing the Italian protagonists, whose efforts played out against the political and economic landscape of fascism and the devastation wrought by the war on Italian soil.

Sacred Images and Normativity: Contested Forms in Early Modern Art
Brepols, 2022. Hardback, 320 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:37 b/w, 97 col., Language: English. ISBN: 9782503584669
Summary Early modern objects, images and artworks often served as nodes of discussion and contestation. If images were sometimes contested by external and often competing agencies (religious and secular authorities, image theoreticians, inquisitions, or single individuals), artists and objects were often just as likely to impose their own rules and standards through the continuation or contestation of established visual traditions, styles, iconographies, materialities, reproductions and reframings. Centering on the capacity of the image as agent ? either in actual legal processes or, more generally, in the creation of new visual standards ? this volume provides a first exploration of image normativity by means of a series of case studies that focus in different ways on the intersections between the limits of the sacred image and the power of art between 1450 and 1650. The fourteen contributors to this volume discuss the status of images and objects in trials; contested portraits, objects and iconographies; the limits to representations of suffering; the tensions between theology and art; and the significance of copies and adaptations that establish as well as contest visual norms from Europe and beyond.
