Le portrait est sans conteste le genre artistique le plus fécond du début des Temps modernes. Dans la France du XVIIe siècle, qui se distingue par une mobilité sociale inconnue jusqu’alors, le portrait permet précisément d’appuyer la revendication d’un nouveau statut social ou d’assurer un rang acquis, mais désormais remis en question. Le portrait se fait également l’écho de la discussion capitale concernant le rapport entre le corps et l’âme. Pourtant, les sources écrites parvenues jusqu’à nous, qui s’intéressent au portrait, sont étonnamment parcimonieuses. L’Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture fondée en 1648, en particulier, est presque totalement muette à ce sujet. Et ce, bien que nombre de ses membres gagnent leur vie comme portraitistes et que le genre voie son importance s’accroître au cours du Grand Siècle : les portraits se multiplient, tandis que leur prix augmente constamment. Il semble que l’Académie ait sciemment passé sous silence le portrait et les débats afférents, afin de mieux célébrer comme sa véritable mission la peinture d’histoire, sur laquelle l’institution nous a laissé d’innombrables témoignages. La présente étude reconstitue les discours autour du portrait dans la France du XVIIe siècle et dévoile une discussion d’une vivacité surprenante, où d’aucuns se sont même demandé si le portrait ne méritait pas – plutôt que la peinture d’histoire – d’occuper la première place dans la hiérarchie des genres. Das Porträt ist sicherlich die fruchtbarste künstlerische Gattung der frühen Neuzeit. Gerade im Frankreich des 17. Jahrhunderts, das sich durch eine bis dahin unbekannte soziale Mobilität auszeichnete, erlaubte es das Porträt, den Anspruch auf eine neue gesellschaftliche Position zu unterstreichen bzw. auf einer überkommenen, nun aber in Frage gestellten Position zu beharren. Auch fand die zentrale Diskussion um das Verhältnis von Leib und Seele ihren Niederschlag im Porträt. Hiermit in Kontrast steht der Mangel an schriftlichen Quellen…

Paulson retrieves an aesthetics that had strong support during the eighteenth century but has been obscured both by the more dominant academic discourse of Shaftesbury (and later Sir Joshua Reynolds) and by current trends in art and literary history. Arguing that the two traditions comprised not only painterly but also literary theory and practice, Paulson explores the innovations of Henry Fielding, John Cleland, Laurence Sterne, and Oliver Goldsmith, which followed and complemented the practice in the visual arts of Hogarth and his followers. In The Beautiful, Novel, and Strange Ronald Paulson fills a lacuna in studies of aesthetics at its point of origin in England in the 1700s. He shows how aesthetics took off not only from British empiricism but also from such forms of religious heterodoxy as deism. The third earl of Shaftesbury, the founder of aesthetics, replaced the Christian God of rewards and punishments with beauty - worship of God, with a taste for a work of art. William Hogarth, reacting against Shaftesbury's "disinterestedness," replaced his Platonic abstractions with an aesthetics centered on the human body, gendered female, and based on an epistemology of curiosity, pursuit, and seduction. Paulson shows Hogarth creating, first in practice and then in theory, a middle area between the Beautiful and the Sublime by adapting Joseph Addison's category (in the Spectator) of the Novel, Uncommon, and Strange.

In Devotional Portraiture and Spiritual Experience Ingrid Falque analyses the meditative functions of early Netherlandish paintings including devotional portraits, that is portraits of people kneeling in prayer. Such paintings have been mainly studied in the context of commemorative and social practices, but as Ingrid Falque shows, they also served as devotional instruments. By drawing parallels between the visual strategies of these paintings and texts of the major spiritual writers of the medieval Low Countries, she demonstrates that paintings with devotional portraits functioned as a visualisation of the spiritual process of the sitters. The book is accompanied by the first exhaustive catalogue of paintings with devotional portraits produced in the Low Countries between c. 1400 and 1550. This catalogue is available at no costs in e-format ( HERE ) and can also be purchased as a printed hardcover book ( HERE ).
