Abstract

A lavishly illustrated exploration of the art and theology of Fra Angelico. Fra Angelico offers a unique encounter with the celebrated painter, seen through the eyes of Monsignor Timothy Verdon. As an art historian and (like Angelico) a Catholic priest, Monsignor Verdon approaches the work of the only artist ever beatified through the theological lens it deserves, bringing together Fra Angelico’s art and his faith. Praised by his contemporaries, by later art historians, and by generations of viewers, Fra Angelico’s art is known for its exceptional combination of piety and painterly skill. In this book, Monsignor Verdon explores the spiritual and mystical foundations of the friar-painter’s work, and traces his artistic evolution from his early work, to the frescoes for the covent of San Marco in Florence, his Annunciations, and the chapel for Pope Niccolò V. Lavishly illustrated with over 200 high-quality images, Beato Angelico illuminates Fra Angelico’s art and his faith.

Abstract

Rather than as a destructive moment in history, the Iconoclasm of 1566 in the Netherlands was the catalyst for a re-evaluation of (religious) art in the Low Countries. It forced painters to question the very nature of the artistic tradition they grew up in. Is it merely a coincidence that the art markets changed so swiftly after the Fall of Antwerp, that art theory in the Low Countries originated in the wake of Iconoclasm (De Heere, Lampsonius, ...), or that painting in the second half of the sixteenth century saw the impetus of new styles, genres, specialisations (Aertsen, De Beuckelaer, ...)? Iconoclasm forced people to think about art. The generation of painters active in the two decades between the 'Beeldenstorm' and the fall of Antwerp did this by questioning the decorum of the work of their famous predecessors.

Abstract

The collection of essays gathered in this volume investigates the interaction between art and relics as a distinct historical relevance for devotional art of Early Modernity and the Renaissance. Recent studies in the material culture of artifacts from these periods have drawn increasing attention to a sense of material tangibility derived from relics. Putting that conclusion into perspective, this edited collection focuses on the aesthetic meaning generated by a specific material culture of sanctity – one in which artists based their practice upon the nature, variety, and history of relics. Works of art that contained relics shared in the aura of the relics, defining themselves as non-substitutable signs, or signs that preserved the physical relationship to the immutable nature and origin of relics. As studied in this volume, funerary monuments, chapel decorations, altarpieces, liturgical objects, and sacred sites yielded an unordinary aesthetic meaning, one that captured and at the same time transmitted the histories linked to a relic. Each chapter emphasizes the specific history contained within works of art premised upon relics and thus forever embedded in the relics’ status as sacred originals..

Abstract

"While entire libraries discuss the religious and political history of the sixteenth century in Northern Europe, focused on the Reformation and the rise of nation-states, Larry Silver uniquely traces the dramatic, even traumatic changes of the Reformation era through visual culture, paintings as well as the new medium of prints. Among featured shifts are the destruction of church images, witchcraft, reactions to new voyages of exploration, and issues of vision itself in an age of increasing re-examination of morality as well as sin and death"--

Abstract

Les deux essais réunis ici proposent l'interprétation la plus méthodique de la genèse, de la structure et de l'évolution de l'architecture gothique. Une biographie systématique rattachant les intentions esthétiques de Suger à différents traits de sa personnalité physique et sociale conduit au principe de l'entreprise de destruction créatrice de l'abbé de Saint-Denis qui laisse à ses successeurs, comme un défi, les difficultés suscitées par ses innovations. Pour relever ce défi, les architectes de la grande époque gothique s'arment des instruments intellectuels qu'ils doivent à la scolastique : ensembles intelligibles composés selon des méthodes identiques, la Somme théologique et la cathédrale recèlent des homologies structurales irréductibles aux simples traductions littérales de la langue théologique dans la langue architecturale que saisissait l'historiographie positiviste.

Abstract

La 4e de couverture indique : "Les cosmogonies – mythes de création du monde – n'ont jamais cessé d'accompagner l'histoire de l'humanité. Mais parce que l'investigation sur les origines fut l'un des leitmotivs de la pensée des XVe et XVIe siècles, nulle autre époque plus que la Renaissance n'a su en mesurer les enjeux anthropologiques, philosophiques et artistiques. À partir des œuvres de Ghiberti, Mantegna, Bosch, Michel-Ange, Raphaël, Parmigianino, Bandinelli, Salviati, Tintoret, Véronèse, Goltzius, El Greco ou encore Caravage, Florian Métral guide le lecteur dans l'exploration d'un imaginaire qui a façonné notre modernité."
