Abstract

By exploring the evolution of the Medici family's villas, "Cultivating the Renaissance" charts the shifting politics, philosophy and aesthetics of the age and chronicles the rise of an extraordinary family from obscure farmers to european royalty. From the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, the Medici family fominated european life. While promoting both arts and sciences, the Medici helped create a new style of architecture, present a new idea of villa life and promote the novel idea of living in harmony with nature. Used variously for pleasure and sports, scholarly and amorous liaisons, commercial entreprise and botanical experimentation, their villas both expressed and influenced contemporary ideas on politics, philosophy, art and design. Each patron's public interests and private passions, as welle as the architects, artists and philosophers they employed, are examined. Through a chronological approach, this book reveals how the villas were used, their reception by contemporary commentators, their legacy and their current state five centuries after they were first built. Lavishly illustrated, "Cultivating the Renaissance" is of great interest to students and scholars of architecture, horticulutre, landscape history, philosophy, art and the history of the Renaissance in Italy.

Abstract

This volume investigates the origins of one of the most important notions of contemporary society: privacy. Based on case studies from the early modern Low Countries, privacy is tackled from various historical perspectives: social and cultural history, and the history of art and architecture.The Dutch Republic is well known for its financial success, which went hand in hand with the development of a distinguished bourgeois culture and religious toleration. The accumulation of wealth among the urban population led to changes in various spheres, from daily life to art. Privacy, as a concept, started to develop in this period. Indeed, new ideas about housing with the invention of corridors, separate rooms that could be locked, and the separation of the ‘common’ and the ‘private’ space, all illustrate the growing importance of privacy in this geographical area. This volume traces perspectives on early modern privacy and private life based on primary sources in several domains: letters, diaries, and poems; genre painting in art; communal life as illustrated by the Jewish community; and finally, the homes of the Dutch elite.The essays in this volume make a key contribution to the emergence of early modern privacy studies as a research field, and to the ongoing discussion of privacy in the Low Countries. Equally, these case studies can serve as models for the analysis of privacy in other European contexts.

Abstract

"Bildende Künstler müssen wohnen wie Könige und Götter. Wie wollten sie denn sonst für Könige und Götter bauen und verzieren?" (Goethe, Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre II, 8). Was im übertragenen Sinn auf Goethe selbst zutraf, soll hinsichtlich des bildenden Künstlers in Europa bis um 1800 aus wechselnder Perspektive hinterfragt werden: Ausnahmekünstler ? wie Goethe, aber auch Mantegna, Dürer, Michelangelo, Rubens, Rembrandt oder die Gebrüder Asam - wohnten mitunter geradezu fürstlich, aber trifft das allgemein auf den europäischen Künstler der Vormoderne zu? Der Band nimmt das Künstlerhaus in den Blick und fragt zunächst aus sozialtopographischer Sicht nach seiner Lage. Welche Faktoren beeinflussten diese mit? In Frage kommen beispielsweise die der Nachbarschaft, der räumlichen Nähe zu möglichen Auftraggebern oder zu repräsentativen Verkaufsorten wie zentralen Plätzen, prominenten Straßenzügen und bedeutenden Kirchenbauten. Kunst- und kul turhistorisch wird der Architektur und Ausstattung, der Ikonographie und Ikonologie eines Bildprogramms von Künstlerhäusern nachgegangen. 'Visual artists should dwell like kings and gods: how else are they to build and decorate for kings and gods?' (Goethe, Wilhelm Meister's Journeyman Years II, 8). - What applies to Goethe himself in a figurative sense, shall be discussed here in respect to the visual artist in Early Modern Europe up to 1800: Exceptional artists - such as Goethe - but also Mantegna, Dürer, Michelangelo, Rubens, Rembrandt or the Asam Brothers, have, now and then, lived in stately homes and almost princely dwellings. But does this observation apply to the European artist of the pre-modern era in general? This volume takes a fresh look at the artist's home from varying perspectives. From the perspective of social topography, the first question to be raised is: What factors were the most influential in respect to the choice of the location: The residential era, or neighborhood, the proximity to possible clients, or to prestigious places for sales such as centrally located squares, prominent streets, or significant churches? From the perspective of art history and cultural studies, the architecture and its furnishings, the iconography and iconology of sculptural and pictorial programs of artists' houses will be discussed."

Abstract

Les auteurs nous invitent au travers de cette publication à les suivre sur les traces des petites et des grandes transformations qui ont produit en France, du XVIIe au XIXe siècles plusieurs types essentiels de bâtiments d'habitations, tels l'hôtel particulier puis l'immeuble de rapport. Pour ce faire, ils proposent le croisement de 2 séries de faits : la première est constituée par une lecture nouvelle du discours des architectes de Pierre Le Muet à Guadet en passant par Blondel et Daly et qui reflète à la fois changements dans les valeurs de la discipline et pression des exigences des clients. La seconde est constituée par les dispositifs architecturaux des habitations, saisis à la fois dans leur économie d'ensemble, dans leur ameublement et dans leur décoration

Abstract

Le ville di Roma, capolavori come Villa Borghese, Villa Doria Pamphilj, Villa Madama, Villa Giulia, la Farnesina,... sono parte integrante dell'immagine della città, anch'esse meta in tutte le epoche di visite ammirate, fonte di ispirazione per innumerevoli dipinti, oggetto di imitazione e spesso scenario di ambientazioni letterarie. Gli studi sulla loro storia sono stati molteplici, ma hanno riguardato, in particolar modo, i periodi di maggior splendore quali il Rinascimento e il Barocco. Si tratta di studi oramai datati, superati negli ultimi decenni da un fiorire di ricerche talvolta parziali, ma comunque utili per una conoscenza più approfondita di questo importante patrimonio di arte e natura. Altro limite degli studi, anche recenti, finora condotti sui giardini romani è costituito dalla scarsa attenzione per periodi storici considerati di minore interesse, quali il Medioevo, di fatto ignorato, o la fine dell'Ottocento e la prima metà del Novecento. Questo volume si propone di affrontare l'argomento da un punto di vista innovativo, con un triplice obiettivo: rileggere la storia del giardino a Roma dal Medioevo al Novecento, arricchendola del portato delle nuove ricerche sviluppate negli ultimi anni; mettere in luce la specificità di ogni periodo storico, presentare le interrelazioni tra i vari complessi delineando la linea di sviluppo delle ville e dei giardini romani in connessione con la peculiarità della città.

Abstract

Brussel binnenskamers' brengt de materiële wooncultuur van ruim driehon- derd huishoudens uit de zeventiende eeuw tot leven. De lezer wandelt als het ware in een vroegmodern Brussels interieur en algauw wordt duidelijk hoe kunst- en luxe-objecten een betekenisvolle rol speelden in het sociale verkeer binnenskamers. Daarbij is Brussel een bijzondere casus: naast de ontwikkeling van een gedemocratiseerde kunst- en luxemarkt is er de 0wisselwerking tussen hof en stad, de gestage demografische groei en het groeiende belang van de hofstad in de steden-hiërarchie van de Neder landen. In de consumptieve transformatieprocessen die zich voltrokken tijdens de lange zeventiende eeuw plaatst Brussel zich tussen het concen- trische hofmodel van Norbert Elias en het burgerlijk-stedelijk model van Jan de Vries in.
