Abstract

The conversation parties of the bluestockings, held to debate contemporary ideas in eighteenth-century Britain, were vital in encouraging female artistic achievement. The bluestockings promoted links between learning and virtue in the public imagination, inventing a new kind of informal sociability that combined the life of the senses with that of the mind. This collection of essays, by leading scholars in the fields of literature, history and art history, provides an interdisciplinary treatment of bluestocking culture in eighteenth-century Britain. It is the first academic volume to concentrate on the rich visual and material culture that surrounded and supported the bluestocking project, from formal portraits and sculptures to commercially reproduced prints. By the early twentieth century, the term 'bluestocking' came to signify a dull and dowdy intellectual woman, but the original bluestockings inhabited a world in which brilliance was valued at every level and women were encouraged to shine and even dazzle.

Abstract

"Antiquarian, lawyer, and cat lover Nicolas Fabri de Peiresc (1580-1637), was a 'prince' of the Republic of Letters and the most gifted French intellectual in the generation between Montaigne and Descartes. From Peiresc's study in Aix-en-Provence, his insatiable curiosity poured forth in thousands of letters that traveled the Mediterranean, seeking knowledge of matters mundane and exotic--travel times and insurance premiums, rare manuscripts and objects from the Orient. Mining the remarkable 70,000-page archive of this Provençal humanist and polymath, Peter N. Miller recovers a lost Mediterranean world of the early seventeenth century that was dominated by the sea: the ceaseless activity of merchants, customs officials, and ships' captains at the center of Europe's sprawling maritime networks. Peiresc's Mediterranean World reconstructs the web of connections that linked the bustling port city of Marseille to destinations throughout the Western Mediterranean, North Africa, the Levant, and beyond. As Miller also makes clear, Peiresc's mastery of practical details and his collaboration with local traders and fixers as well as scholars, sheds new light on the structure of knowledge-making in the age of Bacon, Galileo, and Rubens. Miller shows that Peiresc's pursuit of Oriental studies, for example, depended crucially on his abilities as a man of action. Exploring the historian's craft today against the backdrop of Peiresc's diverse research activities, Peiresc's Mediterranean World suggests new possibilities for scholarship on the past, but also for the relationship between the writing of history and its readers"--Provided by publisher

Abstract

Une génération après que la Révolution eut supprimé les privilèges aristocratiques, une nouvelle élite apparut dans la société française : les " artistes ", dont le prestige était devenu tel qu'il leur permettait de s'égaler aux plus grands, malgré l'absence de naissance, de fortune, de pouvoir. En même temps s'imposait l'idée qu'ils formaient une seule catégorie mêlant, tous genres confondus, écrivains, peintres, sculpteurs, musiciens. Et l'identité collective (le cette catégorie inédite se définissait, avec la " bohème " , par l'excentricité du hors normes une élite en marge, donc. Cette situation paradoxale s'explique en partie par le statut institutionnel, économique, démographique, juridique, sémantique des activités artistiques, que reconstitue minutieusement Nathalie Heinich. Mais elle tient aussi à des facteurs de plus longue durée : les valeurs de sens commun, que révèle l'exploration des romans, des témoignages, des journaux, des correspondances. Car on ne comprendrait pas que cet étrange phénomène ait pu perdurer, s'imposant aujourd'hui plus que jamais, sans prendre en compte ces valeurs fondamentales que sont l'aspiration à l'égalité et la reconnaissance de l'excellence, la préséance du mérite et le droit au privilège. La singularité artiste offrirait-elle à notre société contemporaine, écartelée entre aristocratisme, égalitarisme et méritocratie, une solution de compromis à un élitisme acceptable par la démocratie ?

Abstract

In de negentiende eeuw beoefenden in Nederland 1100 vrouwen de beeldende kunst. De meeste van deze vrouwen zijn na hun dood vergeten. Het beeld is ontstaan dat de kunstwereld tamelijk ongunstig tegenover vrouwen stond en dat de kunstbeoefening vooral als vrijetijdsbesteding voor welgestelde dames werd aangemoedigd. Een professionele carrière was slechts voor een enkeling weggelegd. Dit boek brengt hierin verandering en besteedt voor het eerst uitvoerig aandacht aan de positie van kunstenaressen in de negentiende eeuw en de ontwikkeling daarvan.

Abstract

"Erudite Eyes" explores the network of the Antwerp cartographer Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598), a veritable trading zone of art and erudition. Populated by such luminaries as Pieter Bruegel, Joris Hoefnagel, Justus Lipsius and Benedictus Arias Montanus, among others, this vibrant antiquarian culture yielded new knowledge about local antiquities and distant civilizations, and offered a framework for articulating art and artistic practice. These fruitful exchanges, undertaken in a spirit of friendship and collaboration, are all the more astonishing when seen against the backdrop of the ongoing wars. Based on a close reading of early modern letters, alba amicorum, printed books, manuscripts and artworks, this book situates Netherlandish art and culture between Bruegel and Rubens in a European perspective.
