"Age of Empires presents the art and culture of China during one of the most critical periods of its history - the four centuries from 221 B.C. to A.D. 200-- when, for the first time, people of diverse backgrounds were brought together under centralized imperial rule that fostered a new and unified identity. The Qin and Han empires represent the "classical" era of Chinese civilization, coinciding in both importance and timing with the Greco-Roman period in the West. Under the short-lived Qin and centuries-long Han, warring principalities were united under a common emperor, creating not only political and intellectual institutions but also the foundation for a Chinese art, culture, and national identity that lasted over two millennia. Over 150 works from across the full breadth of Chinese artistic and decorative media-- including ceramics, metalwork, textiles, armor, sculpture, and jewelry - are featured in this book and attest to the unprecedented role of art in ancient Chinese culture. These stunning objects, among them soldiers from the renowned terracotta army of Qin Shihuang, China's first emperor, are drawn from institutions and collections in China and appear here together for the first time"-- "The first in-depth exploration of the artistic and cultural achievements of China's "classical" era Age of Empires presents the art and culture of China during one of the most critical periods of its history - the four centuries from 221 B.C. to A.D. 200-- when, for the first time, people of diverse backgrounds were brought together under centralized imperial rule that fostered a new and unified identity.

Essays by leading scholars, accompanied by dazzling new photography of the objects, address the sweeping societal changes underway, and trace a progression from the early, formative years through unprecedented sophistication and technical accomplishment--embodied in an artistic legacy that reverberates in China's national identity to this day"--

Cette exposition vise à illustrer le lointain et fascinant périple d'un pays riche de quelque 900 ans et façonné jusqu'à nos jours par un processus transculturel, ainsi qu'à retracer l'itinéraire parcouru par les Portugais aux quatre coins du monde.Les jalons de cette histoire sont illustrés à travers le legs le plus éloquent de ce pays: l'héritage artistique né entre le déclin du Moyen Âge et la naissance de notre monde contemporain, témoignant de la culture d'un peuple et du processus singulier de métissage culturel.

Trois lieux emblématiques à Namur s'associent pour présenter une exposition abordant la représentation des vices et des vertus depuis le Moyen Âge jusqu'à nos jours : le musée des Arts anciens, le musée Félicien Rops et l'église Saint-Loup. La Somme théologique de Thomas d'Aquin, rédigée entre 1266 et 1273, constitue une véritable synthèse des préceptes issus de l'Antiquité et des premiers philosophes chrétiens. L'auteur y fixe définitivement les notions de vices et de vertus dont la liste avait été dressée par le moine Évagre le Pontique (fin du 4e siècle) et imposée par le pape Grégoire le Grand (fin du 6e siècle). Une iconographie se développe, où les vertus - chrétiennes - et les vices - païens - s'opposent. Exhibition: Musée Félicien Rops, Namur, Belgium (18.02-21.05.2017) Aristoteles schreef het reeds: 'De deugd is het juiste midden tussen twee ondeugden'.Sinds mensenheugenis is de strijd tussen goed en kwaad een inspiratiebron voor kunstenaars.Hoe heeft deze iconografische traditie zich vertaald doorheen de eeuwen? Hoe hebben schilders, illustratoren en beeldhouwers van de Middeleeuwen tot de Renaissance deugden en ondeugden die alomtegenwoordig waren in religieuze geschriften voorgesteld? Hoe hebben Félicien Rops en James Ensor in de 19de eeuw met deze concepten gespeeld om de hypocrisie van hun tijd aan de kaak te stellen? Hoe gaat een hedendaagse kunstenares als Aidan Salakhova om met begrippen als religieuze taboes, de grenzen tussen het heilige en het profane, de deugd en de ondeugd?Reis door de eeuwen heen en ontdek kunstenaars die naar de menselijke instincten hebben gepeild, van de meest vileine tot de meest deugdzame.

In an impressive special exhibition the Glyptotek gives a glimpse into the power structures, god-worship and everyday life in Ancient Egypt when Pharaoh reigned as a personified god and undisputed authority. Ancient Egypt has always fascinated us. Not least the legendary pharaohs, the kings who ruled over them all, who were more gods than human beings were the subject of many tales through the ages. In the exhibition, "Pharaoh.The Face of Power" we examine the period 2000-1700 BC, known as the Middle Kingdom when the Egyptian realm rose again after a period of decline, and strong pharaohs united the country with centralised power. Here visitors can experience how, 4000 years ago, it was possible to construct personal myths and manage to rule a people with absolutely no help from spin doctors, the press or the social media.
