Abstract

Featuring detailed scenes of court pageantry and life-size portraits of members of the French Valois dynasty woven in wool, silk, and precious metal-wrapped threads, the Valois Tapestries are one of the most extravagant sets of hangings produced in the 16th century. The precise circumstances surrounding the tapestries' commission and their arrival at the Medici court in Florence, as well as the significance of the specific scenes depicted, however, have eluded scholars for years. Presenting new research into the political maneuvering of the Valois and Medici courts and providing extensive physical analysis gathered during a recent cleaning of the tapestries, this volume offers brand new insight into why these magnificent works were made and what they represent.

Abstract

For women at the early modern courts, clothing and jewellery were essential elements in their political arsenal, enabling them to signal their dynastic value, to promote loyalty to their marital court and to advance political agendas. This is the first collection of essays to examine how elite women in early modern Europe marshalled clothing and jewellery for political ends. With essays encompassing women who traversed courts in Denmark, England, France, Germany, Habsburg Austria, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Sweden, the contributions cover a broad range of elite women from different courts and religious backgrounds as well as varying noble ranks.

Abstract

"Drie dochters uit de adellijke Antwerpse familie Goubau, in 1715 als kinderen wees geworden, zochten als tieners en twintigers hoe zij hun familie zowel materieel als emotioneel bij elkaar konden houden. De drie zussen Goubau steunden op tantes, neven en nichten, grootmoeders, vriendinnen en enkele ooms om hun persoonlijke levens en familiale ambities te realiseren. In hun brieven leren we hoe hun netwerk functioneerde en hoe zelfstandig zij waren. De langst levende van de drie, Joanna Theresia Goubau, geraakte door haar huwelijk met James Dormer stevig in de Antwerpse elite verankerd en combineerde voor de kinderen zorgen met zakendoen, ook nadat ze weduwe geworden was. Een dubbelhuwelijk van haar dochter en haar stiefzoon met telgen uit de prominente familie van Brouchoven van Bergeyck zette de kroon op het werk en consolideerde de familie als een emotionele gemeenschap. Het familiearchief, nu bewaard in kasteel Cortewalle in Beveren, ontsluit ons hun wereld" --

Abstract

"The works for which Paolo Giovio is best known today are his two volumes of Elogia: one concerning notable literati (1546), the other surveying prominent military and political figures (1551). The first of these, entitled Portraits of Learned Men (Elogia veris clarorum virorum imaginibus), is here newly edited and translated. Taken as a whole, Portraits of Learned Men provides an insightful synopsis of the contours, mentality, and trajectory of humanistic culture in Italy and Europe from the fourteenth to the mid-sixteenth century. As he watched the foreign invasions of the Italian peninsula and the conquests that ensued, Giovio came to believe that the high culture of the Italian Renaissance-in which he had participated not only in Rome but in Florence, Milan, Naples, and elsewhere-was in rapid decline, a perspective he had voiced nearly two decades before in Notable Men and Women. We may view the Portraits as a mature and more systematic effort than that dialogue to capture and commemorate a bygone period of efflorescence. Unlike others' catalogues, however, Giovio's Portraits of Learned Men was but an offshoot of a far more ambitious project of commemoration. At least since 1521, he had been collecting likenesses of learned men, and the following year he began procuring portraits of outstanding rulers and men of arms. Tireless in supplicating potential patrons, he rapidly expanded his collection, and in 1537 he began construction on the southwest shore of Lake Como of a villa custom-made to display what he called his musaeum (literally, a "home of the Muses," but here carrying something resembling the modern sense of "museum"). Initially, he had planned just to identify the subjects in brief; but in perhaps his most creative move, he decided to enlarge the inscriptions to the point that they became biographical sketches, many of them several hundred words in length. Few of the biographical sketches in Portraits of Learned Men are eulogies; many verge on character assassination. Most lie in between, mixing praise and blame in a way that resembles the oratorical genre of epideictic favored by humanists in their sermons before the popes. Giovio sought to impart an appreciation for each man as a flesh-and-blood human being whose foibles were integral to making him who he was, and who, each in his own distinct way, contributed to making the Republic of Letters what it was. Viewed collectively, these capsule biographies (as the Latin elogia may best be rendered) can be seen to trace the arc of the development of learned culture in the Renaissance"--

Abstract

Die Geschlechterbücher repräsentierten prunkvoll und detailreich Rang und Status der Patrizierfamilien der frühen Neuzeit. Das Augsburger Geschlechterbuch enthält Graphiken, Drucke und kolorierte Zeichnungen. Die Bilder sind Vorarbeiten für ein später realisiertes Geschlechterbuch für das Augsburger Patriziat. Bekanntester Künstler ist Hans Burgkmair d. J. (um 1500 bis vor 1567), Sohn Hans Burgkmairs d. Ä. Berühmt ist das Augsburger Geschlechterbuch (um 1545) mit seinen Vorzeichnungen und Probedrucken für phantasievoll dargestellte Wappenhalter-Figuren von Hans Burgkmair d. Jüngeren und Heinrich Vogtherr d. Jüngeren. Es wurde im 2. Weltkrieg an seinem Auslagerungsort gestohlen und war lange Teit verschollen. Im Jahr 2004 wurde das Buch bei Sotheby's New York eingeliefert, konnte aber vor der Versteigerung bewahrt werden.
