Abstract

This volume brings together essays based on a conference that took place in 2016 at the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbuttel. The purpose of the event was to explore the role of the arts within confessional transfer and negotiation processes. While many aspects of cultural transfer in the field of secular representation within Europe are already well studied, the exchange of architectural forms and images between different confessions as well as the political contexts and motivations for these exchanges remain little understood. For this reason the following questions are central to this volume: Which aspects of art and architecture were transferred from one confession to another, and how were they modified? What theological or political intentions motivated processes of reception and adaptation? How did the arts help to interpret the relationship between politics and religion, and how did they, as part of a linguistic and visual discourse, model the relationship between spiritual and temporal powers? And to what extent was religious tolerance thereby encouraged or undermined?

Abstract

L'apparition de l'estampe constitue un phénomène majeur pour l'histoire et l'art en Occident. Au tout début du XVe siècle, artistes et graveurs expérimentèrent diverses techniques - principalement la xylographie, la gravure sur métal en relief et la gravure au burin - permettant, par l'impression d'une matrice gravée et encrée sur un support, de créer et de diffuser des images multipliables à l'identique. Si les estampes circulèrent très vite partout en Europe, les régions germaniques en furent le foyer originel, bien avant que cette invention ne fût transposée dans le domaine de l'impression des textes par Gutenberg dans les années 1450. En articulant deux fonds français d'une importance majeure - la collection de la Réserve du département des Estampes de la Bibliothèque nationale et la collection Rothschild du département des Arts Graphiques au musée du Louvre -, cet ouvrage présente les différentes étapes de l'évolution de l'estampe, ses acteurs, ses modalités de production, ses rapports avec les autres arts et ses usages, depuis les toutes premières gravures sur bois en Allemagne en 1400 jusqu'au début de la carrière de Martin Schongauer, graveur rhénan qui changea fondamentalement le statut de l'estampe au sein des arts. --Louvre éditions

Abstract

After 1500, as Catholic Europe fragmented into warring sects, evidence of a pagan past came newly into view, and travelers to distant places encountered deeply unfamiliar visual cultures, it became ever more pressing to distinguish between the sacred image and its opposite, the 'idol'. Historians and philosophers have long attended to Reformation charges of idolatry – the premise for image-breaking – but only very recently have scholars begun to consider the ways that the idol occasioned the making no less than the destruction. The present book focuses on how idols and ideas about them matter for the history of early modern objects produced around the globe, especially those created in the context of an exchange or confrontation between an 'us' and a 'them'. Ranging widely within the early modern period, the volume contributes to the project of globalizing the study of European art, bringing the continent's commercial, colonial, antiquarian, and religious histories into dialogue. Its studies of crosses, statues on columns, wax ex-votos, ivories, prints, maps, manuscripts, fountains, banners, and New World gold all frame Western 'art' simultaneously as an idea and as a collection of real things, arguing that it was through the idol that object-makers and writers came to terms with what it was that art should be, and do.
