European Renaissance Festivals are noted for their extravagance, for their inherited classical culture, and as evidence of how court and civic spectacles could express political, religious, social, and economic aspirations. In this new monograph, the accent is firmly on the violent context of Magnificence: it examines how war affected the minds and practice of both artists and princes, and shows how victims and their suffering were as prominent in festival as were conquerors and their projections of victory. What emerges here is the dark side represented in princely entries where imperial ambitions are built upon civic devastation and where myths elaborate and expose their ambiguous nature and message. Artists and poets collaborated in bringing victory and violence together: Mantegna and Durer in triumphal processions; Frans Floris and Rubens on the canvases they created for triumphal arches, where mythology was put to work to arouse excitement for deeds of heroism and death, while engravers depicted scenes of war and destruction to accommodate contemporary taste.

In Fasti Ovid (43 BCE-17 CE) sets forth explanations of the festivals and sacred rites that were noted on the Roman calendar, and relates in graphic detail the legends attached to specific dates. The poem is an invaluable source of information about religious practices.

"Festivals and ceremonials played a major role in the Spanish world; through them local identities as well as a common Spanish culture made their presence manifest within and beyond the peninsula through ephemeral displays, music and print. This book explores Habsburg visual culture at court and its connection with the creation of a language of triumph, the relationship between religion and the empire, and examines cultural, artistic and musical exchange in Naples and Rome. Taken together these essays contribute further to our growing appreciation of the importance of early-modern festival cultures in general, and their significance in the world of the Spanish Habsburgs in particular"--Provided by publisher.

"Le présent volume rassemble une série d'études qui ont été menées et/ou présentées dans le cadre du programme de recherche Cultures du Spectacle Baroque entre Italie et anciens Pays-Bas financé par la Politique scientifique fédérale belge. Il se donne pour ambition de renouveler l'analyse historique et théorique des solennités spectaculaires en s'intéressant tout particulièrement aux effets produits par les dispositifs déployés lors de ce type de manifestations. Par ailleurs, soucieux d'élargir le champ déjà bien exploré des rituels civiques ou monarchiques, il porte essentiellement l'accent sur les solennités religieuses. Tout en tenant compte de la circulation à l'échelle européenne et même mondiale des modèles festifs, il veille également à privilégier la comparaison entre deux espaces culturels, les anciens Pays-Bas et l'Italie, qui, bien qu'ils développent des cultures festives propres ancrées dans des traditions locales, n'entretiennent pas moins des échanges qui s'accélèrent à partir du XVIe siècle. Il ne s'agit cependant moins d'envisager les traces de ces influences que de mieux comprendre la façon dont ces deux cultures ont pu construire, indépendamment l'une de l'autre et/ou au contact l'une avec l'autre, de mêmes conceptions de l'expérience festive, au-delà de la différence des moyens mis en œuvre" --
