Awakening the Night Art from Romanticism to the Present,

UK, Prestel, 2012 Hardback, 230x280mm, 320p, 300 colour illustrations, English edition. ISBN 9783791352602.
¶ This absorbing volume explores how artists have expressed their fascination with the night and its mysteries over two centuries. Delving deep into the subjects of philosophy, psychology, and astronomy, this beautifully illustrated and wide-ranging volume offers a chronological approach to understanding how artists of all kinds have dealt with the subject of nighttime. It opens with the early 19th century, focusing on the tension between romanticism and enlightenment, idealism and realism, beauty and science. It then goes on to explore the introduction of electricity, the subsequent illumination of urban spaces, and light pollution. Finally, it investigates contemporary images of places that come alive in the darkness: subways, mines, theaters, movie houses, and nightclubs. Filled with the work of renowned painters, photographers, sculptors, and filmmakers, the volume is enhanced by a series of insightful essays that help us understand how artists' depictions of nighttime have evolved in tandem with developments in technology, science, and philosophy.

Collecting Asian Art. Cultural Politics and Transregional Networks in Twentieth-Century Central Europe

Leuven, UPL - KU Leuven, 2024 Paperback, 272 pages, 234 x 156 x 13 mm,Illustrations and other content description: 32 pp. in colour. English text. ISBN 9789462703780.
¶ Museum collections of Asian art in Central Europe. Rather than centering on the well-known collections in Western European and North American museums, Collecting Asian Art turns to museum collections of Asian art in Central Europe which emerged from the late 19th century onwards. Highlighting the dimensions of Central European connectedness, this volume explores how these collections evolved and changed under changing cultural and political conditions from the pre-World War I to the post-World War II periods. With a primary focus on collections of East Asian, South Asian, and West Asian art in Vienna, Prague, Berlin, Warsaw, Kraków, Budapest, and Ljubljana, it outlines the transregional connections and networks that gradually developed. Collecting Asian Art locates Asian art across the twentieth-century in Central Europe via discourse and ideology, and discusses key collections and the way individual collectors built their networks. It thus explores transregional connections that developed through collecting activities and strategies in the prewar, interwar and postwar eras. Contributors also examine the personal connections between a group of Indologists from postwar Prague and modernist Indian artists from the early 1950s to the 1980s and also discuss the systematic archiving of East Asian art collections in Slovenia. A concluding conversation looks at colonisation and decolonisation from a broader perspective by approaching it through recent art historical discussions on the global dimensions of modernism. By defining the region through its external relationships and its entanglements with regions across Asia rather than as a self-contained unit, the contributions in this volume outline how these transregional connections and networks evolved and changed over time, thus highlighting their singularity in comparison to developments in Western Europe. Based on recent research, Collecting Asian Art reveals neglected sources while reinterpreting well-known ones.

Ad J. Meskens

Between Tradition and Innovation Gregorio a San Vicente and the Flemish Jesuit Mathematics School

Brill, 2021 Hardcover, 294 pages Illustrated. ISBN 9789004414990.
¶ In Between Tradition and Innovation, Ad Meskens traces the profound influence of a group of Flemish Jesuits on the course of mathematics in the seventeenth century. Using manuscript evidence, this book argues that one of the Flemish mathematics school's professors, Gregorio a San Vicente (1584?1667), had developed a logically sound integration method more than a decade before the Italian mathematician Bonaventura Cavalieri. Although San Vincente's superiors refused to grant him permission to publish his results, his methods went on to influence numerous other mathematicians through his students, many of whom became famous mathematicians in their own right. By carefully tracing their careers and outlining their biographies, Meskens convincingly shows that they made a number of ground-breaking contributions to fields ranging from mathematics and mechanics to optics and architecture.

¶ Camouflage is in de Eerste Wereldoorlog voor het eerst systematisch toegepast. Het beschilderen van schepen met grillige patronen en kleuren - Dazzle Painting - had als doel de periscoopwaarneming te bemoeilijken door verwarring te stichten omtrent afstand, koers en snelheid van het waargenomen schip. Behandeld wordt ook de relatie tussen de Dazzle-ontwerpen, de Vorticisten, het Britse Cubisme en de Futuristen.

Letters of Salvator Rosa (1615-1673). An Italian Transcription, English Translation and Critical Edition

Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2019 Hardback, 2 vols, vi + 1104 pages, Size:225 x 300 mm, Illustrations:4 b/w, 47 col., Languages: English, Italian. ISBN 9781905375882.
¶ Summary These two volumes comprise the first English translation and critical edition of the extant letters of the Neapolitan painter and satirist Salvator Rosa (1615-1673). Presented in a revised Italian transcription and a complete English translation, the letters are accompanied by extensive historical notes, a philological apparatus, a comprehensive index, appendices, and photographs of the manuscripts. A number of previously unpublished letters also appear here for the first time. Unique among early modern primary documents for their quantity and exceptional for their candour, Rosa's letters are not only a fascinating and intimate chronicle of the artist himself but also an invaluable record of the activities and aspirations of his contemporaries,?offering useful insights into historical persons, ideas and events. An indispensable early modern primary source, comparable in significance to the letters of Michelangelo, Nicolas Poussin or Peter Paul Rubens, Rosa's letters here receive a long-overdue analysis and an English translation that seeks to make more accessible their contents, frequently impenetrable to even native Italian speakers.

Bringing the Holy Land Home. The Crusades, Chertsey Abbey, and the Reconstruction of a Medieval Masterpiece

Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2022 Hardback, 376 pages, Size:240 x 240 mm, Illustrations:136 col., Language: English. ISBN 9781912554942.
¶ Summary A carefully-integrated group of studies begins with the so-called ?Chertsey? ceramic tiles, depicting combat between King Richard the Lionheart and Saladin. Found at Chertsey Abbey not far outside London and admired since the nineteenth century, we present here a new reconstruction of both the tiles and their previously-undeciphered Latin texts. The reconstruction demonstrates not only that the theme of the entire mosaic is the Crusades, but also that the overall appearance of the tiles, when laid as a floor, draws from the composition and iconography of imported Islamic and Byzantine silks. Essays illuminate specific material contexts that similarly witness western Europe's, and particularly England's, engagement with the material culture of the eastern Mediterranean, including ceramics, textiles, relics and reliquaries, metalwork, coins, sculpture, and ivories.

Pictor Doctus, between Knowledge and Workshop. Artists, Collections and Friendship in Europe, 1500-1900

Brepols, 2022 Paperback, 279 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:11 b/w, 70 col., Language(s):English, Spanish. ISBN 9782503589084.
¶ Summary Recent research on the collections treasured by artists during their lifetime, or those collections they had access to, has contributed significantly to the understanding of their own compositions. Traditional historiography has favoured the study of the royal and aristocratic collections that could have inspired artists rather than of the artists' own collections. Only those of the 'great' artists, such as Rubens, Bernini, Velázquez or Mengs, have been comprehensively examined. In the eighteenth century, the notion of collecting itself was transformed. An aesthetic taste was fostered and developed through the gathering of objects, and the personal collection of an artist could therefore provide the key to a more thorough understanding of their production. The nineteenth century witnessed artists bequeathing their collections to different institutions, sometimes even creating their own institutional collection. Architects, painters, sculptors and goldsmiths assembled some of the most important artistic collections of their time in their workshops. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction.

Jean Bellegambe (c. 1470-1535/36) Making, Meaning and Patronage of his Works

Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2023 Hardback,Pages: 160 pages, Size:210 x 297 mm Illustrations:10 b/w, 105 col.Language(s):English. ISBN 9782503574370.
¶ The book by Anna Koopstra about Jean Bellegambe adds an extremely careful, thorough, and beautifully produced study to the monographs on early Dutch painters. (..) More traditional art historical research'iconographic, stylistic, archival, and historiographic'is combined with modern technical research and a keen eye for drawings and graphics as visual sources for the artist. (?) The beautifully produced and clearly written book represents excellent and versatile art historical research that, through in-depth analysis of a small group of characteristic artworks, offers a new perspective on an important artist, his work and methods, as well as the impact of that distinctive body of work." Drs. Lidewij de Koekkoek (VNK, Frans Hals Museum) - Jury President - 2023 Karel van Manderprijs BIO Anna Koopstra (1980) studied art history at the University of Groningen (MA, 2004) and obtained her doctorate from the Courtauld Institute of Art (PhD, 2016). She has held curatorial positions and research fellowships at the Suermondt-Ludwig Museum (2005-08), The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Slifka interdisciplinary Fellow, 2008-10), The National Gallery (2015-17), and the Courtauld (Associate Caroline Villers Research Fellow, 2016/17). Her research focuses on the technical investigation of paintings, and in particular on the making and meaning of early Netherlandish paintings. SUMMARY Jean Bellegambe (c. 1470- 1535/36), whose career as far as we know spanned the first three decades of the sixteenth century, was a successful painter. His patrons included some of the most high-ranking clerics in the Habsburg-Burgundian Netherlands as well as members of the ruling class of Douai, the town where he lived and worked all his life. This is the first study to appear since Dehaisnes' 1890 monograph that is exclusively devoted to the artist. By reassessing primary evidence - archival documents and material evidence from the works of art themselves - it aims to highlight Bellegambe's artistic achievements. Close scrutiny of his paintings and investigation of the artist's working methods will show that Bellegambe visualised the concerns of his patrons by closely linking the physical characteristics of his works to their original imagery, function and use. This volume presents a series of five case studies of his works that were made for a monastic community, two individual clerics, a town hall and a bourgeois layman, thus providing rich evidence of patronage and audiences. The objective here is to examine how Bellegambe met the challenges posed by these commissions, and to gain further insight into the practice of a skilled artist who - rooted in a long line of craftsmanship and artistic tradition and in close collaboration with his colleagues and patrons - produced a body of highly original works. TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION CHAPTER I The Artist's Life and Career Life Works Posthumous legacy CHAPTER II Oeuvre and Patrons The Anchin Polyptych Similar patrons, similar commissions Other works CHAPTER III Preliminary Observations on Materials and Working Methods Panels and frames Underdrawing and painting technique Technical evidence and questions of attribution Workshop CHAPTER IV Jean Bellegambe and the Convent of Flines: Reconsidering The Cellier Altarpiece Monastic reform and the convent of Flines The evolution of the composition Interpreting the iconographic program Location, audience, date CHAPTER V Clerical Devotion and the Monastic Milieu: The Diptych of the Virgin and Child with Saint Bernard and an Unidentified Cistercian Monk The Virgin and child as an object of clerical devotion The abbess as exemplar CHAPTER VI Self-Representation and Piety for the Here and the Hereafter: Abbot William of Brussels and the Triptych of the Annunciation William of Brussels as a patron Function and location CHAPTER VII Painting as a Moral Compass: Triptych of the Last Judgment The Last Judgment, the Four Last Things, and visions of heaven and hell Function and audience CHAPTER VIII Civic Duty, Charitable Giving, and the Wish to Be Commemorated: The Pottier Triptych and the Pottier Family Reviewing the archival evidence Iconography and meaning Scenes of the life of Saint Anne, demi-grisaille, and the reality of giving CONCLUSION Bibliography.
