Mere-Monster of Lake Tagua Tagua Monster Mania and Court Intrigues in the Eighteenth Century Phoebus Focus V
Antwerp, Phoebus Focus V, softcover, 21 x 14,8 cm, 96 pages TEXT IN ENGLISH ISBN 9789463883368.
Phoebus Focus V Het anonieme Het Meermonster van Tagua Tagua uit 1784 geeft, tweehonderdvijftig jaar na datum, als geen ander kunstwerk inzicht in de kracht van het beeld in een krakend tijdsgewricht. Het beest brengt een synthese van driehonderd jaar beeldtraditie. In de kern gaat het terug op middeleeuwse encyclopedie n, maar zijn galante snuit verraadt een achttiende-eeuwse identiteit. Sterker nog: het Meermonster blijkt pure politieke propaganda..

Blind Date Portretten met Blikken en Blozen
, Hannibal Books, 2020 HARDCOVER 290 x 250 mm, 288 pages, NL edition met prachtige illustraties in kleur. ISBN 9789463887397.
Mannen in statig zwart, vrouwen met molensteenkragen, kinderen met gouden rammelaars, oude besjes en zelfgenoegzame kunstenaars? Ze zijn de hoofdrolspelers op zowat ieder portret dat ooit werd geschilderd in de Zuidelijke Nederlanden. Van de vijftiende tot de zeventiende eeuw is het kleine lapje grond dat vandaag ?Vlaanderen? heet het economische en culturele, intellectuele en financi le hart van Europa. En geld moet rollen: iedereen die het zich kan veroorloven, investeert in een portret. Vandaag hebben de gekoesterde statussymbolen van weleer hun oorspronkelijke betekenis grotendeels verloren. Van functioneel en emotioneel transformeerden de portretten tot toegangspoortjes tot het verleden. Aan de hand van topstukken uit de collectie van The Phoebus Foundation schetst dit boek de brede context waarin ze tot stand kwamen. Het pelt de betekenislagen van de voorstellingen, als waren het rokken van een ui. Want of het nu gaat om een indrukwekkende Rubens of Van Dyck, of om een intiem portret door een vergeten kunstenaar: ooit waren de mensen op deze schilderijen van vlees en bloed. Ze hadden eigenaardigheden en verborgen agenda?s, ambities en hogere doelen. Soms zijn die hoogstpersoonlijk en hyperindividueel. Soms ligt er een laagje stof op, en zijn de dames en heren kinderen van hun tijd. Meestal echter, zijn hun dromen en pretenties verrassend tijdloos en ontnuchterend herkenbaar. Blind Date is een afspraak met de geschiedenis: een ontmoeting met geportretteerde mannen en vrouwen uit vervlogen eeuwen. Maar voor wie bereid is om goed te kijken, blijkt de grens tussen heden en verleden flinterdun. HET VERHAAL VAN DE VLAAMSE PORTRETKUNST VERTELD AAN DE HAND VAN TOPSTUKKEN UIT DE COLLECTIE VAN THE PHOEBUS FOUNDATION De gelijknamige tentoonstelling Blind Date. Portretten met blikken en blozen loopt van 14 maart tot 31 december 2020 in het Snijders&Rockoxhuis Antwerpen, gecureerd door dr. Katharina Van Cauteren & Hildegard Van de Velde en in een scenografie van Walter Van Beirendonck.

BLIND DATE, The Bold and The Beautiful in Flemish Portraits
, Hannibal / Kannibaal , 2020 Hardcover, 290 x 250 mm, 288 pages, English edition. ISBN 9789463887403.
Portraits from the late Middle Ages and the early modern period, what should we do with those long forgotten people from centuries ago? They stare at us, sometimes with a little monk, or ignore us completely. Without saying a word. Yet they have so much to tell us. About their fascinating lives, who they were or hoped to be. This book wants to offer the reader an appointment with history, or rather, a blind date with portrayed men and women from days gone by. Blind Date shows an exceptional sample of portraiture from the past. The Phoebus Foundation possesses a wealth of such portraits, so many and diverse that they could compile an exhibition and a book that illuminate the genre of portrait painting in all its facets, from selfie to group portrait.

, Hannibal Publishing, 2021 Hardcover , 290 x 250 mm, 304 pages, NL edition.* nieuw ISBN 9789463887434.
Wij - Van zalig tot zot is een unieke rollercoaster ride door drie eeuwen kunst- en cultuurgeschiedenis. Honderd adembenemende topstukken uit de collectie van The Phoebus Foun dation, van onder meer Hans Memling, Quinten Metsys, Peter Paul Rubens en Antoon Van Dyck, nemen de lezer mee langs een wereld vol zotheid en zonde, fascinatie en ambitie. Ze vertellen over rijke burgers en arme heiligen, over kunstenaars en wijnkelders, en over Antwerpen als Hollywood aan de Schelde. Dit boek is een meeslepend verhaal over het beeld en zijn betekenis, en over de band tussen cultuur en maatschappij. Want bovenal gaat dit over ons en over wie wij vandaag zijn - als mensen.

De Memling Rubens L' ge d'or de la Flandre.
, Hannibal, 2024 Hardcover, HB+, 290 x 250 mm, 304 pages, FR edition. ISBN 9789464666823.
Pourquoi Hans Memling peignait-il tout avec une telle minutie dans le d tail? Comment Rubens cr ait-il, en quelques coups de pinceau, des effets sp ciaux qui feraient p lir d'envie Steven Spielberg? Et pourquoi les Pays-Bas m ridionaux ont-ils t le centre artistique du monde durant trois si cles? De Memling Rubens : l' ge d'or de la Flandre raconte l'histoire de l'art flamand des quinzi me, seizi me et dix-septi me si cles comme vous ne l'avez jamais lue auparavant. Un v ritable tour de montagnes russes travers 300 ans d'histoire culturelle. Les chefs-d'oeuvre poustouflants de la collection de The Phoebus Foundation, des joyaux inconnus de Hans Memling, Quentin Metsys, Pierre Paul Rubens et Antoine Van Dyck, vous plongent dans un monde de folie et de p ch , de fascination et d'ambition. En chemin, vous croiserez des ducs et des empereurs, des citoyens riches et des saints pauvres, des galeries d'art comme des caves vin, et Anvers comme Hollywood sur l'Escaut. Il s'agit d'un r cit passionnant sur l'image et sa signification, et sur le lien entre culture et soci t . L'ouvrage parle surtout de nous et de ce que nous sommes, aujourd'hui, en tant que personnes.
Goed bewaarde winkelinterieurs sinds 1851
, Luster Publishing, 2023 hardcover, 191 pagina's, illustr. 24.7 x 17.7 cm. ISBN 9789460583544.
Na het succes van de eerste "Goed bewaarde winkelinterieurs" (2014), verzamelde erfgoedkundige Katherine Ennekens in dit boek opnieuw een reeks prachtig geconserveerde winkelinterieurs verspreid over heel Belgi . Winkelinterieurs worden vaak in een nieuw jasje gestoken, om de mode van de tijd te volgen of om te voldoen aan nieuwe opgelegde normen. Maar soms blijft de tijd stilstaan en wordt het interieur lange tijd bewaard. Gelukkig maar, want vaak barsten deze winkels van de charme en brengen ze klanten in verwondering. Daarover gaat dit boek. Het is een ode aan de winkeliers die hun interieur lang niet verbouwd hebben en zo, soms zonder uitgestippeld plan, een heerlijk vintage interieur hebben vandaag. Sommige winkelinterieurs hebben een bijzonder ontwerp, in andere werden materialen gebruikt die vandaag zeldzaam zijn. Allemaal zijn ze uniek en op maat van de ruimte gemaakt. De interieurs overleefden vele generaties en zijn zo tot ons erfgoed gaan behoren. Het is pas wanneer een vertrouwd waardevol interieur verdwijnt, dat buurtbewoners het gemis voelen. Auteur en onderzoekster Katherine Ennekens is interieurarchitecte gespecialiseerd in erfgoed. In 2014 schreef ze een eerste boek over dit onderwerp. Na lang zoeken vond ze opnieuw veertig waardevolle interieurs in Belgi . Ze sprak met de winkeliers en werkte samen met fotograaf Bart Kiggen om ze in beeld te brengen. Dit boek is een oproep aan eigenaars, klanten en de overheid om dit kwetsbare erfgoed te koesteren n te bewaren
Riemenschneider in Situ.
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2022 Hardback, 416 pages, Size:225 x 300 mm, Illustrations:33 b/w, 222 col., 1 maps b/w, Language: English. *NEW ISBN 9781912554454.
Summary Riemenschneider in Situ presents the newest research on the work of one of the most famous late medieval and early Renaissance sculptors, Tilman Riemenschneider. Moving beyond questions of style, date, and workshop practice, this volume investigates the sculptor's programs across the south German region of Franconia that survive in situ, within the particular contexts for which they were designed and in which they were originally experienced. In shifting the focus from fragmentary pieces in museum collections to extant installations in their original church settings, the volume contributes to a wave of scholarship interested in reanimating medieval artistic ensembles by considering them as complex visual environments. Together, the authors?conservators, museum professionals, and art historians?provide an essential and overdue study of Riemenschneider's best-preserved pieces, while also making an important, collaborative addition to the broader discipline of pre-modern art history.

Crusading and Ideas of the Holy Land in Medieval Britain
, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, viii + 265 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:5 b/w, 20 col., 1 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503593883.
Summary Crusading and western interaction with the Holy Land is often a contentious topic, not least because modern popular perception of medieval east-west contact is that it was defined by violence, conquest, and religious persecution. Building on recent scholarship, this collection of essays takes an interdisciplinary approach to the role of crusading and contact with the Holy Land in medieval Britain in order to investigate the myriad ways in which these contacts influenced artistic, literary, visual, and social culture in medieval Britain. By looking at new material and focusing on the domestic response to crusading and the Holy Land, the contributions gathered here offer new insights into the influence of these contacts on the medieval British world view, as well as their impact on topics such as ideals about masculinity and kingship, geographical perception, and aspirational codes of conduct for the medieval British elite.
