‎La tapisserie a longtemps représenté le summum du raffinement et du faste en termes de décor d?intérieur. Au-delà de la qualité des matériaux et du tissage qui donnait toute leur valeur à ces ?uvres, la sélection opérée dans les collections du Musée d?art et d?histoire de Genève et de la Fondation Toms Pauli de Lausanne montre que l?utilisation et l?interprétation des grandes figures de l?Antiquité, d?Alexandre à Constantin, ne sont pas anodines à l?époque baroque. Que connaissait-on au xviie siècle de ces héros antiques et de leur aspect ? Quel message véhiculaient-ils ? Comment et pourquoi les modèles suivis par les lissiers flamands, entre exactitude historique et allusions contemporaines, ont-ils été créés ? Ces questions sont autant de défis. Les ont relevés, avec les conservateurs des institutions mentionnées, des historiens de l?art, spécialistes de l?époque baroque et de la tapisserie, ainsi que des archéologues.Antiquités inédites et moulages, estampes, livres et médailles permettront d?accéder au monde fascinant des grands modèles de vertu politique et militaire que le siècle de Louis XIV se cherchait dans les héros de l?Antiquité, apparemment en dehors des luttes religieuses qui avaient longtemps bouleversé l?Europe.‎

‎Storia della lauda. Secoli XIII-XVI‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 511 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 6 col., Language: Italian. ISBN 9782503596273.‎

‎Summary La lauda, ovvero la poesia religiosa in volgare, soprattutto nella forma del canto collettivo di lode, di confessione e di supplica, è un genere letterario-musicale di sfuggente classificazione. L'interpretazione che la vuole sempre arte popolare, priva di eloquenza formale, è contraddetta da numerosi esempi di laude d'autore, da Guittone a Iacopone, da Bianco da Siena a Feo Belcari, da Leonardo Giustinian a Lorenzo de' Medici, di profonda raffinatezza intellettuale. Dopo la nascita in Italia centrale e settentrionale nel xiii secolo, nel quadro dei moti popolari penitenziali e alleluiatici e dell'espansione degli ordini mendicanti, la lauda non smette di accompagnare la storia della civiltà italiana, generando una tradizione ininterrotta che interseca, nella molteplicità delle sue forme, la storie della letteratura, della musica e della spiritualità. Laude liriche e laude drammatiche, di corte e di piazza, meditative e pubbliche: la lauda si riveste d'abiti sempre nuovi, assecondando lo spirito mutevole dei tempi, capace d'intercettarne i gusti e le aspirazioni senza tradire la propria identità. Questo studio riannoda i fili della straordinaria storia della lauda, per apprezzarne la natura multimediale e proteiforme e la capacità dare voce anche a culture "di margine", dalla spiritualità dei laici a quella delle donne, costituendo una delle più significative eredità consegnate dalla cultura medievale all'età moderna.

‎Gio Ponti Fascination for ceramics ‎

‎, Silvana Editoriale, 2011 Softcover, 160 pages illustrations, 23,9 x 17,3 x 1,5 cm.( book = new in cellophane ) ISBN 9788836620647.‎

‎One of the last century?s leading architects and industrial designers, Gio Ponti (1891?1979) was at the helm of Italy?s massive design renaissance in the years following World War Two, becoming particularly celebrated for his incredibly lightweight ?Superleggera? (?Superlight?) chairs of the late 1950s. Ponti initially studied architecture but abandoned it upon graduation to take up a position as art director at the Milanese ceramics manufacturer, Richard-Ginori. He remained at the company for the rest of the decade, designing ceramic, porcelain and majolica vases, bowls, figurines and trays that infused a Wiener Werkstätte elegance with his own love of visual storytelling. Ponti embellished his works with images of shapely women enveloped by tufts of clouds or resting upon classical architecture, animals in flight, and boats sailing upon rough, wave-filled seas. This volume appraises Ponti?s ceramic oeuvre for the first time.‎

‎Loanwords and Native Words in Old and Middle Icelandic. A Study in the History and Dynamics of the Icelandic Medieval Lexicon, from the Twelfth Century to 1550‎

‎Summary Anyone familiar with the Modern Icelandic language will know that the country's policy is to avoid borrowing lexemes from other languages, and instead to draw on their own vocabulary. This often results in the formation of a word pair, consisting of a loanword and its respective native equivalent, as the process of borrowing systematically eludes the tight tangles of language policy. But how did this phenomenon develop in the Middle Ages, before a purist ideology was formed? This volume offers a unique analysis of a previously unexplored area of Old Norse linguistics by investigating the way in which loanwords and native synonyms interacted in the Middle Ages. Through a linguistic-philological investigation of texts from all medieval Icelandic prose genres, the book maps out the strategies by which the variation and interplay between loanwords and native words were manifested in medieval Iceland and suggests that it is possible to identify the same dynamics in other languages with a comparable literary tradition. In doing so, new light is shed on language development and usage in the Middle Ages, and the gap between case-study and general linguistic theory is bridged over.

‎Reading Dante with Images: A Visual Lectura Dantis‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2021 Hardback, 416 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:8 b/w, 224 col., Language: English. ISBN 9781912554508.‎

‎Summary This volume contains an unprecedented meeting of two major traditions, each of which are forms of careful engagement with Dante's Commedia: the Lectura Dantis, and the illustrations of this work. The Lectura Dantis, initiated by Giovanni Boccaccio in the fourteenth century, consists of a canto by canto study of Dante's poem. The history of Commedia illustration has equally deep roots, as illuminated manuscripts of the text were being produced within decades of the work's completion in 1321. While both of these traditions have continued, mostly uninterruptedly, for more than six hundred years, they have never been directly brought together. In this volume, Dante scholars take on a single canto of the Commedia of their choosing, reading not just the text, but also exploring the illustrations of their selected text to form multifaceted and multi-layered visual-textual readings. In addition to enlivening the Lectura Dantis, and confronting the illustrated tradition of the poem in a new fashion, these studies present a variety of approaches to studying not just the Commedia but any illustrated literary work through a serious inquiry into the words themselves as well as the images that these words have inspired.

‎, Hirmer / Kunstforum Wien, 2019 Hardcover 239 pages; Deutsch. 240 Seiten, 200 Abb. (davon 200 farbig). 24,5 x 26,4 cm. 1,5 kg. ISBN 9783777431987.‎

‎Pierre Bonnard (1867?1947) ist einer der geheimnisvollsten Maler des Postimpressionismus. In über 100 Beispielen von 1900 bis 1947 wird die Vielfalt seines Werks vorgestellt: von den frühen, im Geiste der Nabis entstandenen Arbeiten bis zu den späten, rein aus Farbe aufgebauten Kompositionen, die bis an die Grenze zur Abstraktion gehen. Der Band verdeutlicht die Entwicklung des herausragenden Koloristen zum Meister der Moderne. Bonnards Bilder, komponiert aus den subtilen Mitteln der Farbe, bleiben der Gegenständlichkeit verhaftet. Das raffinierte Spiel der Farbwerte ist für ihn Mittel, um eine ?Überwindung der Natur durch die Kunst? zu finden. In seinen farbenfrohen Landschaften und intimen Szenen scheint er die Harmonie der Natur zu preisen ? und stellt sie durch seine differenzierte Auseinandersetzung mit ihr wieder und wieder in Frage. Bonnard wird neu und im Kontext seiner Zeit verstanden. Die Auseinandersetzung mit seinen Malerfreunden und seine Reaktionen auf das politische Geschehen präsentieren ihn als aktuellen Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts.‎

‎Carolingian Experiments‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 298 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:17 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503594101.‎

‎Summary Carolingian Experiments presents essays exploring how the Carolingians (ca. 700-ca. 900 CE) ? a regime known especially for concerns over imperial power, order, and moral correction ? fostered a remarkable era of experimentation in medieval Europe. The scholars featured here ask new questions and conduct their own methodological experiments to uncover some of the many ways that people innovated within the Carolingian world. To that end, numerous themes are covered in this volume: culture and society, family and politics, religion and spirituality, literature and historiography, law and hierarchy, epistemology and science. This array of scholarly experiments reveals some of the range and depth of Carolingian invention. Furthermore, the essays consider how Carolingian innovation can be found in places both more and less known today, employing novel approaches to unearth some unexpected, even uncanny phenomena. This volume consequently offers a defamiliarizing view of the Franks, unveiling them as a people whose seemingly straightforward imperialism and reform were effective precisely because they stimulated and nurtured potent, creative impulses. In fact, one might argue that the Carolingian world's conservative, moralizing authorities ? despite, or perhaps at times because of, their determination to instil correct thought and behaviour in their subjects ? fostered many varieties of experimentation. Collectively, the authors of this volume seek to inspire new thinking about the Carolingians, while modelling alternative approaches and potential avenues for future research. Carolingian Experiments overall encourages readers to see that much remains unexplored, unknown and even unexpected about the Carolingians and their world.

‎Manuscripts of Leo the Great?s Letters. The Transmission and Reception of Papal Documents in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 516 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:36 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503589664.‎

‎Summary This book explores the transmission of the letters of Leo the Great (pope, 440-461). After setting out the contours of Leo's papacy and the factors contributing to the sending and subsequent transmission of his letters to posterity, it deals in detail with around sixty collections of Leo's letters and over 300 manuscripts ranging in date from the sixth up to the sixteenth century. Each period of the Middle Ages is introduced as the context for collecting and copying the letters, and the relationships between the letter collections themselves are traced. The result is a survey of the impact of Leo the Great upon Latin Christendom, an impact that was felt in theology and canon law, especially from the age of the Emperor Justinian to the Council of Ferrara-Florence, and moving through the major monasteries of Europe from Corbie to Clairvaux. At every cultural Renaissance, Leo was a presence, being copied, rearranged, interpreted, and eventually printed. This book is a testament to the legacy of one of the mid-fifth century's most influential figures.
