Abstract

"Maximilan I (1459-1519) skillfully crafted a public persona and peronal mythology that eventually earned him the romantic sobriquet 'The Last Knight.' From the time he became duke of Burgundy at the age of eighteen until his death, his passion for the trappings and ideals of knighthood served his wordly ambitions, imaginative strategies, and resolute efforts to forge a legacy. A master of self-promotion, he ordered exceptional armor from the most celebrated armorers in Europe, as well as heroic autobiographical epics and lavish designs for prints. Indeed, Maximilian's quest to secure his memory and expand his sphere of influence, despite chronic shortages of funds that left many of his most ambitious projects unfinished, was indomitable. Coinciding with the 500th anniversary of Maximilian's death, this catalogue is the first to examine the masterworks he commissioned, revealing how art and armor contributed to the construction of Maximilian's identity and aspirations, and to the politics of Europe at the dawn of the Renaissance--sur feuille mobile inserrée dans le livre

Abstract

Already provocative in the seventeenth century, Rembrandt's female nudes continue to elicit strong responses. How did Rembrandt's radical departure from traditional ways of representing the naked female body measure up in the eyes of his contemporaries? What is it about these extraordinary works that generates such powerful emotions, varying from outright condemnation to celebration? The author addresses such questions by examining the choices that Rembrandt made when faced with pictorial conventions established by renowned forebears, including Rubens and Titian. He demonstrates how Rembrandt reformulated contemporary artistic ideas on lifelikeness and the unfolding of dramatic narrative, thereby inciting the greatest possible empathy with his chosen subjects. In exploring his topic the author casts new light on Rembrandt's views on the art of painting, his attitude towards antiquity and his sustained rivalry with the works of other artists.

Abstract

Ut pictura amor: The Reflexive Imagery of Love in Artistic Theory and Practice, 1500-1700 examines the related themes of lovemaking and image-making in the visual arts of Europe, China, Japan, and Persia. The term ‘reflexive’ is here used to refer to images that invite reflection not only on their form, function, and meaning, but also on their genesis and mode of production. Early modern artists often fashioned reflexive images and effigies of this kind, that appraise love by exploring the lineaments of the pictorial or sculptural image, and complementarily, appraise the pictorial or sculptural image by exploring the nature of love. Hence the book’s epigraph— ut pictura amor —‘as is a picture, so is love’.
