‎Margaretha van Parma The Emperor's Daughter between Power and Image‎

‎, Hannibal Books, 2024 HB, 265 x 215 mm, 240 pages, illustrated in color, ENG edition. ISBN 9789464941333.‎

‎The Emperor's Daughter between Power and Image Margaret, Duchess of Parma (1522?1586), an extraordinarily fascinating figure, has slipped through the cracks of history until recently. As the illegitimate daughter of Charles V, she had a rather unusual start in life. In time, however, Margaret became one of the most powerful women in Italy, attracting a lot of attention. In 1559, she was appointed governor-general of the Netherlands. She was also a keen art lover and patron of the arts. This book takes a closer look at the life of Margaret of Parma and the sumptuous court where she lived as a woman-in-power, with all the pomp and circumstance that involved, via fashion, art, music, festivities and the elite pursuit of hunting. It also examines the dangerous political atmosphere of the Low Countries at the time, with the Iconoclasm, the Dutch Revolt, the arrival of the Duke of Alba and the Eighty Years? War. The beautiful drawings from the Brussels Album (1555?56) bring Margaret?s wondrous world to life in an exceptional way. As do more than a hundred artworks ? portraits, paintings and luxury objects ? from the sixteenth century. Authors from different disciplines look at every aspect of Margaret?s life and times, to ensure that the emperor?s daughter finally occupies her rightful place in history.

‎Le recueil de cette fameuse ambassade a été préparé sur ordre du gouvernement britannique. Outre limportance historique de louvrage, ce recueil est particulièrement intéressant pour les descriptions géographiques des lieux visités: Madère, Ténériffe, Rio de Janeiro, St. Hélène, Tristan da Cunha, lîle Amsterdam, Java, Sumatra, la Cochinchine [Vietnam], etc La Grande Bretagne souhaitait établir des relations diplomatiques officielles avec la Chine, notamment pour les rapports commerciaux. Mais lautosuffisance économique de la Chine, qui depuis des siècles navait admis de présence étrangère, rendit lambassade le Lord Macartney peu fructueuse. Plus quune réussite politique, cette ambassade fut loccasion de cet admirable recueil qui livre un témoignage unique sur la Chine du XVIIIe siècle.
