‎art m di val est-il contemporain ? Is Medieval Art Contemporary?‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 247 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:5 b/w, 66 col., Language(s):English, French. ISBN 9782503599731.‎

‎Summary This publication brings together essays by scholars of both medieval and contemporary art, offering a cross-disciplinary approach of both periods. It investigates how contemporary artists and contemporary art historians perceive medieval art, and, reciprocally, how medieval art historians envisage the echoes of medieval artforms and esthetics in contemporary art. The volume follows on from the symposium organized in conjunction with the exhibition "Make it New: Carte Blanche Jan Dibbets" that was held at the Biblioth que Nationale de France (Paris) in 2019, and which presented side by side Hrabanus Maurus's De Laudibus Sanctae Crucis (In Praise of the Holy Cross), a masterpiece of Carolingian art, with works by artists associated with conceptual art, mininimal art, and land art. How and why has medieval art, and particularly early medieval art, inspired contemporary artists since the 1950s? What has medieval art contributed to contemporary art? How has medieval art's treatment of figures, color, space, geometry, and rhythm provided inspiration for contemporary artists' experiments with form? In what way does contemporary artists' engagement with the topics of formatting, writing, semiosis, mimesis, and ornamentation draw inspiration from medieval models? To what extent and in what sense are the notions of authorship and performativity relevant for understanding conceptions of artmaking in both periods? Rather than focusing on medievalism and citational practices, or on the theory of images?both approaches having already produced an important body of comparative readings of medieval and contemporary art?the essays in this volume address the question of medieval art's contemporaneity thematically, through three trans-chronological topics: authorship, semiosis and mathematics, and performance. Engaging the artists' works as well as their writings, these studies conflate conceptual and esthetic perspectives.

‎Medieval Art at the Intersection of Visuality and Material Culture. Studies in the 'Semantics of Vision'‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 247 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:25 b/w, 7 col., 1 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503581538.‎

‎Summary Over the last two decades the historiography of medieval art has been defined by two seemingly contradictory trends: a focus on questions of visuality, and more recently an emphasis on materiality. The latter, which has encouraged multi-sensorial approaches to medieval art, has come to be perceived as a counterpoint to the study of visuality as defined in ocularcentric terms. Bringing together specialists from different areas of art history, this book grapples with this dialectic and poses new avenues for reconciling these two opposing tendencies. The essays in this volume demonstrate the necessity of returning to questions of visuality, taking into account the insights gained from the 'material turn'. They highlight conceptions of vision that attribute a haptic quality to the act of seeing and draw on bodily perception to shed new light on visuality in the Middle Ages.

‎How Do Images Work? Strategies of Visual Communication in Medieval Art‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, iv + 244 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:31 b/w, 140 col., Language(s):English, German, Italian. ISBN 9782503595870.‎

‎Summary How did historical images work and interact with their beholders and users? Drawing on the results of an international conference held in Vienna in 2018, this volume offers new perspectives on a central question for contemporary art history. The fourteen authors approach working imagery from the medieval and early modern periods in terms of its production, usage, and reception. They address wide-ranging media?architecture, sculpture, painting, metalwork, stained glass?in similarly wide-ranging contexts: from monumental installations in the most public zones of urban churches to exquisite devotional objects and illuminated books reserved for more exclusive settings. While including research from West European and American institutions, the project also engages with the distinctive scholarly traditions of Eastern Europe and Israel. In all these ways, it reflects the interests of the dedicatee Michael Viktor Schwarz, whose introductory interview lays out the parameters of the subject. TABLE OF CONTENTS How Do Images Work?

‎Works of Mercy in Italian Medieval Art (c.1050-c.1400),‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2012 Hardback, XL+256 p., 110 b/w ill. + 12 colour ill., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503536231.‎

‎This book rediscovers a forgotten theme in medieval art, providing a vivid and original account of medieval society. This is the first monograph on the medieval Italian representations of the corporal and spiritual Works of Mercy, the fourteen basic categories of almsdeeds conceived by the scholastics. This is a genuinely interdisciplinary study: Federico Botana has painstakingly dissected frescoes, panel paintings, miniatures, and sculptures of the Works of Mercy to shed new light on fundamental aspects of medieval society. These depictions reveal how communities took care of their needy, in some instances beyond what can be gleaned in written sources. Most of all, they contribute to our understanding of medieval confraternal piety. For Church reformers and the Mendicant Orders, the Works of Mercy served to rally Christians against heresy. For Christians, performing the Works was a means of communion with Christ, opening the door to salvation. Botana?s discoveries demonstrate the essential importance of the Works of Mercy in the late Middle Ages, and suggest that depictions of the theme would have been far more common than previously thought.
