Representations of Saint Anne and the Virgin Mary from the Middle Ages to the Early Modern Period. Exploring Iconographic Flexibility and Permeability
Brepols, 2025 Paperback, 189 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:31 b/w, 39 col., 1 maps b/w, Language: English. *new ISBN 9782503608853.
¶ Summary Between the thirteenth and the sixteenth centuries, the cult of the Virgin Mary underwent significant changes, a shift clearly revealed by an increase in artistic representations of Mary, as well as a flourishing devotional literature in her honour, written in both Latin and the vernacular. One aspect of this change was a broader attention to Mary's genealogical line, and in particular to her relationship with St Anne. The result was not only a renewed focus on the vita Annae, but also a significant overlap in how these two women were represented, juxtaposed, and perceived. This volume traces the often significant iconographic flexibility in terms of both how the Virgin Mary and Saint Anne were presented and perceived, and what can be termed a permeability between visual representations of the two saints. Focusing on the multiple readings, layers of meaning, and the visual interplay between the vita Mariae and the vita Annae, the chapters gathered here explore the overlap and influence between different iconographic motifs, and how these were used to advance political, religious, and social ideologies at the time of their creation, as well as exploring representations across a range of different media, from sculptures and frescoes to panel paintings, and manuscript illuminations.

Giants in the Medieval City
Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 272 pages, Size:225 x 280 mm, Illustrations:110 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503607689.
¶ Summary The visual landscape north of the Alps between the 14th and 16th centuries was shaped by colossal representations of epic and mythological giants, reincarnated and cast as Christian heroes. In contexts religious or lay, private or public, giants dominated urban spaces but also rural ones. They were painted on church facades and stood tall as sculptures in town squares. Rather than portraying specific characters from particular texts, the figures embodied the notion of ?the gigantic? as it appeared in contemporary writings: superhuman creatures from foreign lands and liminal geographies, often associated with supernatural powers, magic, hypermasculinity, and, concomitantly, matriarchy. Since the naming and identity of these giants do not always correlate--thus destabilizing the images' semiotics--the gap could be filled by fabricated memories of the ancient world. Hence, imagery of giants bridged mythological, biblical, and contemporary times, while producing novel political metaphors. This book explores the role and function of the vision and the experience of the gigantic. Executed ?out of scale? and communicating ideas about excess, giants were experienced as physically and ethically abject and, at the same time, as magnificent, apotropaic, and redemptive; as such they came to embody the very notion of the medieval sublime.

From Kairos to Occasio through Fortuna. Text / Image / Afterlife. On the Antique Critical Moment, a Grisaille in Mantua (School of Mantegna, 1495-1510), and the Fortunes of Aby Warburg (1866-1929)
Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2021 Hardback, iv + 211 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:73 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9781912554621.
¶ Summary The ancient Greeks had a name for the joy as well as the sorrow of an occasion that suddenly presents itself, but disappears just as swiftly: kairos, or in Latin occasio. Using the Mantua grisaille as starting point and leading motif, Barbara Baert guides us in her own intriguing way through the history of the representation of this figure in art. How did the archaic Greek Kairos model survive in the Quattrocento? Which appearances did Kairos take on along the way and how can we explain his mutations? The author shows us how the semantic and rhetorical expansion of the concept kairos/occasio brought about gender switches and conflations with other personifications of time and fate. Grasping the lock of hair of Kairos/Occasio, spinning the wheel of fortune of Tyche/Fortuna, acting as the mast of the ship and holding the billowing sails, she steers us through depictions of the motionlessness of the moment throughout history before dropping anchor in the fascinating vocabulary of Aby Warburg. During this journey, she invites us to go offshore looking for a new critical moment that presents itself as a powerful opening of possibilities.

Qui nous délivrera du grand Alexandre le Grand ? Alexandre tourné en dérision de l'Antiquité à l'époque moderne
Brepols, 2022 Paperback, 287 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, Language(s):French, Spanish. ISBN 9782503590264.
¶ Summary Bien que la dérision s'inscrive aux marges du corpus littéraire et artistique sur Alexandre, il existe une veine comique qui rabaisse le souverain le plus prestigieux de l'Antiquité, avec une tonalité joyeuse ou bien plus grave et accusatrice. Si elle ne cesse d'évoluer au fil des siècles tant le rire, l'irrévérence et la satire sont ancrés dans l'historicité, elle s'affirme, dans ses différentes incarnations esthétiques, comme un discours parallèle, un discours d'à côté, qui devient parfois un véritable contre-discours. L'objet de ce volume est ainsi d'entamer une analyse diachronique - qui n'a encore jamais été menée - des modes de dérision à l'encontre d'Alexandre et de ce qu'il incarne, de leurs significations et de leurs motivations. Comique divertissant, célébration paradoxale d'une icône de la royauté, satire politique de la mégalomanie et de l'autoritarisme, ou parodie révélatrice d'un rejet de conventions esthétiques et de leurs instrumentalisations politiques et culturelles : les écritures visuelles et textuelles de la dérision à l'encontre du grand Alexandre le Grand engagent tous ces aspects depuis l'Antiquité.

Strangeness and Recognition: Mystery and Familiarity in Renaissance Paintings of Christ
Brepols, 2019 Hardback, 230 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:69 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503581200.
¶ Summary How do you paint a figure who is fully human and fully divine? How do you paint Christ? Strangeness and Recognition takes a fresh look at well-known Renaissance paintings of Christ and shows how surprising and deeply 'strange' they can be. This book brings an imaginative and affective theological perspective to the viewing experience as it explores the twin roles played by 'strangeness' and 'recognition' in responding to the challenge of creating and relating to images of Christ. By confounding expectations and defamiliarising subject matter, the ambiguity and mystery of these paintings disturbs viewers' expectations and reconnects them with the extraordinary mystery of the Incarnation. While neither words nor images can fully describe God, through a questioning, challenging dialogue with paintings, whose visual language disrupts itself, viewers can be brought to the limits of their own understanding and can enter into transformative and personlike relationships with paintings. These personal exchanges lead through estrangement to the rediscovery of the familiar within the strange and the renewed within the familiar, and to the ultimately unspeakable, unpaintable, mystery of the Incarnation. Drawing on a diverse range of theologians, philosophers, art historians and art theorists, and building on her own earlier work, Chloë Reddaway shows the theological potential of Christian images, even when they are far removed from their original contexts. A major contribution to the emerging field of visual theology, this book will appeal to scholars of theology and art history alike, as well as to the museum-going public. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Part 1: Strangeness and Recognition Chapter 1: The problem and potential of religious language and art Chapter 2: Naming Strangeness Chapter 3: Recognising Christ Part 2: Making Strange Chapter 4: Strangeness in Renaissance Painting Chapter 5: Unexpected Iconography Chapter 6: Time and Place Chapter 7: Always and Nowhere Chapter 8: Revelation Chapter 9: Open Images Conclusions: Attending.

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?

¶ 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?

Reinventing Alexander. Myth, Legend, History in Renaissance Italian Art
Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 348 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:80 b/w, 16 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503597430.
¶ Summary In this book Claudia Daniotti provides the first comprehensive study of the representation of Alexander the Great in Renaissance Italian art, exploring a fundamental turning point in the tradition: the transition from the medieval imagery of Alexander as a legendary, fairy-tale hero to the new historically grounded portrait of him as an example of moral virtue and military prowess. During the Middle Ages, Alexander was turned into a fabled creature and fearless explorer, whose Flight to Heaven and other marvellous adventures were tirelessly recounted and illustrated, enjoying huge popularity. With the humanist recovery of the ancient historical texts and the changing taste and expectations of the wider, wealthier and more diverse public of the courts and cities of the Italian peninsula, the fabulous aura that had surrounded Alexander for centuries evaporated. He was recast as the moral exemplum and valorous military commander spoken of by the newly available ancient historians, and became the protagonist of an unprecedently vast iconographic repertoire established in the course of the sixteenth century. By discussing a body of artworks from 1160s to 1560s spanning several media (from illuminated manuscripts and frescoes to sculptural reliefs, wedding chests and tapestries) and researching this material in constant dialogue with the literary tradition, this book offers a reassessment of the whole visual tradition of Alexander in Renaissance Italy, making sense of a figurative repertoire often perceived as fragmentary and disparate, and casting new light on an overall still neglected chapter in the tradition of the myth of Alexander.

Nun's Cell as Mirror, Memoir, and Metaphor in Convent Life. Study of the Models of Nuns' Cells from the Collection of the Trésors de Ferveur
Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 242 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:124 col., Language: English.* NEW ISBN 9782503601939.
¶ Summary In the eighteenth through the early twentieth century, French nuns from various orders created miniature simulacra of the cells in which they slept, studied, and performed their devotions. Each diorama contains an effigy of the nun, a prie-Dieu, devotional objects such as a crucifix, handiwork, and artifacts to foster study and contemplation. This book examines the lives of the brides of Christ as depicted in these dioramas, proposing that the material objects found in the chambers trace the contours of the collective and individual identities of the nuns who created these cells. Viewed as a type of memoir, the cells furnish the sisters a stage upon which to rehearse the meaning of their lives. The dioramas create a tension between the private and public presentations of the self, between verisimilitude and self-fashioning, and between reality and representation. The book contextualizes the miniature cells within the larger discourse of gender, identity, self-representation, monastic devotion, and the power wielded by the aesthetics of scale.

Bamberger Psalter : Msc. Bibl. 48 Der Staatsbibliothek Bamberg. Teil-Faksimile

¶ Bis zum Ende der romanischen Zeit (Mitte 13. Jahrhundert) entstanden in Deutschland die illuminierten Handschriften grosstenteils in Klosterschulen. Entsprechend war die Auswahl der Texte, es uberwogen die kirchlichen Werke. Wahrend in karolingischer und ottonischer Zeit eine prachtige Ausstattung vor allem den Evangeliaren und Evangelistaren vorbehalten war, kommt um 1200 eine Wandlung: Der Psalter ruckt in den Vordergrund, besonders fur Geschenkzwecke war er sehr geeignet, so dass man ihm grosseren Aufwand zubilligte. Dieser bestand in Initialornamentik und Szenen aus dem Leben des Verfassers, des Konigs David. Da der Psalter im Mittelalter als Prophezeiung auf den Messias gedeutet wurde, ubernahm man zur Ausschmuckung seit dem 11. Jahrhundert auch Bilder aus dem Leben Jesu.Im Thesaurus illuminierter Handschriften der Staatsbibliothek Bamberg ist ein Psalter des 13. Jahrhunderts durch den Reichtum und die Schonheit seiner Bilder und seines Initialschmuckes seit langem aufgefallen. Die Faksmilileausgabe dieser herausragenden Handschrift enthalt auf 26 sechsfarbigen und 40 einfarbigen Tafeln ein Kalendar mit Tierkreiszeichen und Monatsarbeiten, 15 ganzseitige Bilder aus dem Leben Jesu, mehrere grosse, kunstvolle Initialen und andere ikonographisch und kunstlerisch interessante Seiten. Die Miniaturen auf dem Einband waren jahrhundertelang geschutzt unter durchscheinenden Hornplatten. Diese Platten wurden fur die Faksimilierung erstmals entfernt, so dass die noch nie farbig gezeigten Einband-Miniaturen in voller, unberuhrter Pracht zu sehen sind. Die aus den Stilmerkmalen der Illustration und der Schrift sowie aus inhaltlichen Details gewonnene Datierung in das fruhe 13. Jahrhundert steht fest, eine genaue Fixierung von Zeit und Ort der Entstehung ist aber schwierig. Doch ergibt die zusammenfassende Analyse von Kalender und Litanei deutliche Hinweise auf das Herzogtum Osterreich. Die kunstgeschichtlichen Untersuchungen machen die Einflusse von Sachsen / Thuringen, aber auch von Salzburg / Byzanz her deutlich: Die beiden beteiligten starken Maler-Personlichkeiten lassen die Spannweite der Kunst dieser Umbruchzeit an einem prachtigen Beispiel lebendig werden.
