‎The Belgian sculptor Peter Buggenhout (born 1963 in Dendermonde, Belgium, lives and works in Ghent, Belgium) describes his hybrid sculptures as ?abject things? that reject any classification, including those as artistic works. He uses materials that have rarely found their way into contemporary art: house dust meets waste, tanned cow stomachs and the remains of bouncy castles on acrylic glass and cast polyamide. Even when classic materials such as Carrara marble appear in his works, the objects applied to the stone surface appear idiosyncratically assembled and condensed and defy any figurative interpretation. Not only because of the special choice of materials, but also because of their enormous physical presence and their archaic hermeticism, Buggenhout's objects occupy a special position in the field of contemporary sculpture. With extensive images and texts by curator Selen Ansen, art critic Nicolas Bourriaud and the artist, the monograph provides an overview of the internationally renowned sculptor's works and series created since 2017.‎

‎ Het begin van de negentiende eeuw was een turbulente tijd: de eeuwenlange zekerheden van het Ancien Régime waren nog maar net van de kaart geveegd door de Franse Revolutie en heel Europa kreeg al meteen te maken met de Napoleontische Oorlogen.

‎Episcopal Power and Personality in Medieval Europe, 900-1480‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, vii + 303 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 5 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503585000.‎

‎Summary The question of personality is a problematic one, beset by complications of cultural distance, the layers of the past, and the limitations of the source material. Recognising these difficulties, this volume draws together character sketches based upon historical narratives and a range of sources, including architecture, liturgical manuscripts, chronicles, and hagiographical material, to show a multifaceted range of means by which historians can construct, reconstruct, and deconstruct episcopal power through the person of the bishop. Building on a previous volume of essays, Episcopal Power and Local Society in Medieval Europe, 900-1400, which examined the construction, augmentation, and expression of episcopal power in local society, this second volume seeks to uncover the impact of the personalities behind that power. Through essays dealing with the construction of cultural and political personalities, the shadows they cast, and the contexts that forged them, this volume brings to life the careers of bishops across medieval Europe from c. 900 to c. 1480. This geographical range and broad time span throws up the similarity in applications and benefits of interdisciplinarity which can be applied to ecclesiastical history, and presents a fascinating range of case studies for consideration.

‎Après la mort de Pieter Paul Rubens en 1640, plusieurs monarques et nobles attendaient avec impatience la vente publique de ses trésors artistiques. Tableaux achevés et inachevés, stocks de copies, mais aussi ?uvres exclusives de sa collection de maîtres italiens et anciens séduisent de nombreux connaisseurs. Des envoyés et des représentants se précipitèrent à Anvers. Un inventaire français (« Spécification des peintures trouvées à la maison mortuaire de feu messire Pierre Pavl RVbens, chevalier, &c ») était déjà imprimé à l'automne 1640 et le roi anglais Charles Ier reçut même une traduction anglaise. Du vivant de Rubens, la demande pour ses ?uvres était élevée, mais l'intérêt pour les peintures du maître resta vif en Allemagne et à l'étranger dans les années qui suivirent sa mort.‎

‎"De zijderoutes" is een schitterende verkenning van de elementen die de stuwende kracht waren achter de opkomst en de ondergang van wereldrijken, die de stroom van idee?n en goederen bepaalden en nu een nieuw tijdperk inluiden in de internationale politiek. Het gebied ten oosten van de Middellandse en de Zwarte Zee tot aan de Himalaya, dwars door Centraal-Azi? tot diep in China en India, was duizenden jaren het middelpunt van de aarde. Het is de bakermat van onze beschaving, waar meer dan 2500 jaar v.Chr. metropolen ontstonden als Harappa en Mohenjodaro met een bevolking die in de tienduizenden liep en met straten die waren aangesloten op een geavanceerd rioleringssysteem. Het is ook het gebied van de zijderoutes ? handelsroutes maar ook verbindingswegen waarlangs opvattingen, religies, idee?n, cultuur ?n ziektes zich konden verspreiden. Hier begint Peter Frankopan zijn nieuwe wereldgeschiedenis. Na de eerste zijderoutes ontstonden er andere: de slavenroute, de goudroute, de route naar het zwarte goud. Maar in onze eenentwintigste eeuw zijn nieuwe routes aan het ontstaan die een grote gelijkenis vertonen met die allereerste, die Centraal-Azie doorkruisten. De zijderoutes komen terug!? Peter Frankopan?studeerde geschiedenis in Cambridge. Hij is sinds 2000 Senior Research Fellow en directeur van The Centre for Byzantine Research aan de universiteit van Oxford. Eerder schreef hij "De eerste kruistocht."‎

‎Summary Several decades of cultural and inter-disciplinary scholarship have yielded, and continue to yield, new insights into the diversity of religious experience in Europe from the fifteenth through the seventeenth centuries. Revisionist approaches to humanism and humanists have led to a re-evaluation of the framing of belief; the boundaries between Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are seen to be more fluid and porous; a keen interest in devotion and materiality has lent new voice to 'subaltern' elements in society; sermon studies has emerged as a distinct discipline and a preacher's omissions are now understood to be often more telling than what was said; under the influence of the 'spatial turn' art and architectural history is generating new understandings of how belief and devotion translated into material culture; the emphasis in defining early modern Catholic culture and identity has moved from emphasizing reactions to Protestantism towards exploring roots and forms in fifteenth century reform movements; globalization, mass migration and issues surrounding social inclusion have re-positioned our understanding of reform in the late medieval and early modern period. The essays in this volume reflect these historiographical and methodological developments and are organized according to four themes: Negotiating Boundaries, Modelling Spirituality, Sense and Emotion, and Space and Form. This organization underscores how analysis of religious life clarifies the questions that are at the core of Renaissance studies today.

‎Summary Mount Athos, the home of Orthodox spirituality and monasticism, has been in existence for at least 1200 years. Home to over 2,000 monks, in twenty glorious monasteries filled with treasures, the peninsula is undergoing a transformation and renewal of faith. In 1956 there was a proposal to build hotels on Mount Athos. Today it hosts up to 1,000 pilgrims every day! Why? This book will help explain this extraordinary place, the current resurgence, the growing population of monks, the sense of purpose, the love and affection that are so much part of the environment. This wonderful story, with a preface by HRH Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, is told through the recollections of the Friends of Mount Athos, an organisation that has, for thirty years, provided support for the institutions, landscape and people. Here are the stories of enchantment from over forty people of different nationalities, customs and beliefs. In addition to the text, there are a collection of special photographs and a map.

‎Tiziano Vecellio (c.1488/90-1576) - known in English simply as Titian - was a remarkably versatile painter, equally comfortable with a wide range of genres and subjects. Unlike many artists from history whose work has been appreciated only after their death, Titian enjoyed fame and success throughout his career, which spanned over seven decades. Based in Venice, Titian received commissions from many local patrons and the Venetian government, as well as many distinguished figures from further afield, such as the Pope, the German emperor and the King of Spain. Titian's contemporary biographer, Giorgio Vasari, praised his skill as a colourist; the artist's careful modelling and depth of colour, shown to especially good effect in mythological works such as 'Bacchus and Ariadne' (1520-3) and 'Tarquin and Lucretia' (1569-71), continue to impress viewers in the twenty-first century.‎

‎Houses Peter Ivens ‎

‎, Luster Publishing, 2024 Hardcover, 264 pages, 29.6x23.7cm English text. Illustrated. ISBN 9789460583681.‎

‎Peter Ivens is a buzzing and respected name in interior design. The Belgian interior architect is praised for his talent, his timeless style and impeccable realisations. His designs often come about in close collaboration with his partner in crime Bea Mombaers. The two of them have been working together intensively for over a decade, without really dividing their roles in the classic way, blurring the lines between architecture and decoration. For Ivens each house tells its own personal story. ?Custom-made? is a core value in his oeuvre: he tailors each home to the specific needs and personality of its residents. No bells and whistles, no loud, showy signature, but silent luxury stemming from a sophisticated choice in materials and a unique sense of space. Ivens? portfolio is prestigious and diverse, yet his style is recognisable. This beautiful coffee-table book, in which each chapter is dedicated to a different house, is the perfect proof. Except for a brief introduction by design journalist Sisse Bro, the photos by Eefje De Coninck and Senne Van der Ven do all the talking, showcasing Ivens? universe in the most classy and inspiring way.‎
