‎Summary Opening Manuscripts, inspired by Elly Miller's passion for manuscripts and her commitment to their study, shines a light on the many ways in which medieval manuscripts can be understood. From the physical unfolding of the parchment to discussions of iconography, dating and influences, over time and across countries, each of the volume's nineteen richly illustrated essays by distinguished scholars in the field asks us to explore a different aspect of the illuminated manuscript. It is a splendid tribute to Elly Miller (1928-2020), the driving force behind Harvey Miller Publishers, who championed medieval art for over half a century. From 1970 to the end of her life, her role as publisher, not only commissioning but also personally editing and designing, was fundamental to the development of the scholarly study and wider appreciation of handwritten and illustrated books of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.?

‎It was not before the 1990s that Louise Bourgeois won global recognition for her artistic achievements, becoming famous for her monumental spider sculptures and room-sized cells. But it was in her early oil paintings that the artist first developed the formal vocabulary and defined the thematic concerns that she would continue to explore. This catalogue accompanies the first major solo exhibition of Bourgeois' early paintings in Europe, placing them in dialogue with a selection of later sculptures, installations, drawings and prints.‎

‎Stendhal est passionné par l'Italie qu'il découvre en 1800 lors des batailles napoléoniennes. Tout dans ce pays le séduit, l'émeut. « Mes voyages en Italie me rendent plus original, plus «moi-même». J'apprends à chercher le bonheur avec plus d'intelligence. » Cette Italie mythique, décrite par Stendhal, dans Rome, Naples et Florence et Promenades dans Rome au rythme de ses élans et de ses émotions, s'accompagne ici de 316 peintures romantiques de 123 peintres européens du début du XIXe siècle et de 45 chefs-d'oeuvre antérieurs, admirés par l'auteur.316 peintures du début du XIXe siècle entraînent le lecteur mot à mot et pas à pas dans Rome, Naples et Florence, mais aussi dans Milan, Bologne, Parme, Piacenza ou les lacs italiens. Ces Voyages en Italie ressuscitent la rencontre profondément romantique entre Stendhal et les 120 peintres européens, contemporains de l'auteur, présents dans l'ouvrage. Turner, Ingres, Corot, Caffi, Friedrich... nous font découvrir l'Italie à travers leur sensibilité d'artiste. Leurs oeuvres témoignent d'une grande diversité et d'une richesse picturale en étonnante symbiose avec les récits de voyage de Stendhal. 45 peintures antérieures au XIXe siècle aimées de Stendhal : celles de Michel-Ange, Raphaël, Corrège, Guido Reni, le Caravage... accompagnent également les Promenades dans Rome. Chaque image suggérée se retrouve en regard du texte à l'endroit précis où Stendhal en parle, renforçant ainsi la magie et la puissance de l'évocation.‎

‎Summary Sympozjum Egejskie: Papers in Aegean Archaeology is a peer-reviewed sub-series of Warsaw Studies in Archaeology. It has been designed to fulfil the role of a platform for presenting and introducing a wide range of new research approaches and themes within the broad area of Aegean Archaeology. This is primarily achieved through showcasing the work of newcomers to the discipline, in other words those scholars who are currently at the beginning of their research career in the field of Aegean Archaeology, as well as scholars working outside the traditional university structure such as independent scholars, professional field archaeologists, museum curators, and conservators. It is our hope that this series will serve as a concise guide to the most recent research undertaken by early career scholars and the diverse and inspiring new trends in the archaeology of the Prehistoric Aegean, as well as shining a light on the future direction of the discipline.

‎Sources of Knowledge in Old English and Anglo-Latin Literature. Studies in Honour of Charles D. Wright‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 460 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, 3 col., 8 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503604428.‎

‎Summary This volume positions source scholarship as integral to an understanding of the transmission of knowledge across intellectual, social, and material networks in early medieval England. Essays in this collection situate source studies in Old English and Anglo-Latin literature within a range of theoretical and methodological approaches as varied as disability studies, feminist theory, history of science, and network analysis, tracing how ideas move across cultures and showing how studying sources enables us to represent the diversity of medieval voices embedded in any given text. The essays in this volume extend the work of Charles D. Wright, who mentored a generation of scholars in methodologies of source study. The essays are organized into three sections. The first demonstrates how source studies facilitate tracing ideas across space and time. The second explores what happens to texts and ideas when they are transmitted from one culture, language, or historical moment to another. The third shows how sources illuminate wider cultural discourses. The volume attests to the flexibility of source work for early medieval English literature and argues for increased access to the tools that make such work possible.

‎Jean Fouquet's diptych from the collegiate church of Melun is one of the main works the painting of the 15th century and French art in general. The left wing with the donor portrait is since 1896 in Berlin, while the right wing, the Madonna performing wings of the Museum of Fine Arts belongs to Antwerp. Both halves were separated by 1773 and were the last time together in 1937. The Berlin exhibition unites them now again and shows more important works, including the original medallion with Fouquet's self-portrait from the Louvre, an outstanding portrait drawing of his hand as well as selected works by painters like Jan van Eyck and Peter Christ. In the accompanying catalog well-known international researchers highlight different aspects of the work, including his iconography and technique, the person of the founder, Fouquets artistic requirements and more.‎

‎, Tate Publishing, 2020 Hardcover flexi, 298 x 196 mm, 192 pages, 200 colour illustrations, English edition. ISBN 9781849766807.‎

‎Aubrey Beardsley (1872-1898) is best remembered for his powerful illustrations for Salomé by Oscar Wilde. Spanning just seven years, his intense, prolific career as a draftsman and illustrator was cut short when he died at the age of 25. His subversive black-and-white drawings and his complex persona became synonymous with decadence: He alighted on the perverse and erotic aspects of life and legend, shocking audiences with his bizarre sense of humor and fascination with the grotesque. His keen observation of his contemporaries makes him of his time, but his distinct style has resonated with subsequent generations. A major influence on the development of Art Nouveau, and on psychedelic pop culture and design in the late 1960s, Beardsley's drawings remain a key reference for many artists today. Here, short essays on aspects of Beardsley's remarkable career complement reproductions of his fascinating work.‎

‎FRANCIS BACON L'Home et la Bête‎

‎, Mercator/ Mercatorfonds , 2021 HB, 300 x 250 mm, 196 pages, 180 colour illustrations, Texte en Francais. ISBN 9789462302747.‎

‎Francis Bacon est considéré comme un des peintres majeurs du XXe siècle. Une nouvelle exposition de ses tableaux à la Royal Academy explore le rôle des animaux - à commencer par l'animal humain - dans son oeuvre. En 1969, Bacon, qui a souvent peint des chiens et des chevaux, se tourne pour la première fois vers la corrida. Dans cette série d'oeuvres puissantes, les interactions entre l'homme et la bête s'avèrent dangereuses et cruelles, mais aussi d'une intimité dérangeante. Tous deux se contorsionnent dans cette lutte angoissée où l'érotisme n'est jamais loin. 'La corrida est comme la boxe, a dit Bacon. Un merveilleux apéritif pour l'amour.' Vingt-deux ans plus tard, un taureau solitaire sera le sujet de son dernier tableau. Dans cet ouvrage fascinant, qui apporte un complément significatif à la littérature sur Bacon, des spécialistes détaillent son approche des animaux et identifient ses diverses sources d'inspiration, dont la littérature surréaliste et les photographies d'Eadweard Muybridge. Selon eux, en montrant des animaux dans un état de vulnérabilité, de colère ou de mal-être, Bacon cherchait à pénétrer la condition humaine. Ce catalogue d'exposition important dévoile ce que les représentations animalières de Francis Bacon révèlent sur l'artiste - et la condition humaine. Exposition au Royal Academy, Londres, 22 janvier - 12 avril 2021‎

‎FRANCIS BACON Mens en Beest‎

‎, Mercator/ Mercatorfonds , 2021 HB, 300 x 250 mm, 196 pages, 180 colour illustrations, Nederlandstalige uitgave ISBN 9789462302754.‎

‎Dit boek focust op de rol van dieren in het werk van Francis Bacon (1909-1992). Bacon schilderde vaak honden en paarden, en in 1969 voor het eerst een stierengevecht, een interactie tussen mens en dier die gevaarlijk en wreed is, maar ook verontrustend intiem. In deze publicatie identificeren deskundige auteurs Bacons inspiratiebronnen en bespreken ze zijn benadering van dieren in het onderzoek dat hij voerde naar de condition humaine. Tentoonstelling: Royal Academy, London: Jan- April 2021 Explore Francis Bacon's visceral paintings, where the line between human and animal is constantly blurred, reminding us that our primal instincts lie just below the surface. Irish-born artist Francis Bacon was the horse-breeder's son who became one of the most important painters of the 20th century. An openly gay man at a time when homosexuality was illegal, he was banished from his conservative family home by his father at 16. After that, he drifted through Berlin and Paris before establishing himself in London, with his formative years running parallel with some of the 20th century's most profoundly disturbing events. This powerful exhibition will focus on Bacon's unerring fascination with animals: how it both shaped his approach to the human body and distorted it; how, caught at the most extreme moments of existence, his figures are barely recognisable as either human or beast. It also explores how Bacon was mesmerised by animal movement, observing animals in the wild during trips to South Africa; filling his studio with wildlife books, and constantly referring to Eadweard Muybridge's 19th-century photographs of humans and animals in motion. Whether baboons or bulls, dogs or birds of prey, Bacon felt he could get closer to understanding the true nature of humankind by watching the uninhibited behaviour of animals. Spanning Bacon's 50-year career, highlights include some of Bacon's earliest works and his last-ever painting, alongside a trio of bullfight paintings which will be exhibited together for the first time. Seen together, these raw expressions of anxiety and instinct - both animal and human - feel poignantly relevant today. Exposition au Royal Academy, Londres, 22 janvier - 12 avril 2021‎
