Si la sculpture bourguignonne est surtout célèbre pour ses grands ensembles romans et l'exceptionnelle statuaire de la fin du Moyen Âge, de nombreux témoignages de l'intense activité artistique que connut la région au xiiie siècle subsistent encore, que la présente étude propose de redécouvrir ou de découvrir grâce à la mise au jour de pièces inédites.À partir d'une étude fine et d'une analyse approfondie de chaque ensemble et élément sculpté, nous découvrons au fil de l'ouvrage les réalisations de deux foyers artistiques majeurs qui se sont succédé sur le territoire bourguignon, l'un autour de l'imposante et prestigieuse église paroissiale Notre-Dame de Dijon et l'autre en plein cœur de l'Auxois.

In this book, Claudia Moser offers a new understanding of Roman religion in the Republican era through an exploration of sacrifice, its principal ritual. Examining the long-term imprint of sacrificial practices on the material world, she focuses on monumental altars as the site for the act of sacrifice. Piecing together the fragments of the complex kaleidoscope of Roman religious practices, she shows how they fit together in ways that shed new light on the characteristic diversity of Roman religion. This study reorients the study of sacrificial practice in three principal ways: first, by establishing the primacy of sacred architecture, rather than individual action, in determining religious authority; second, by viewing religious activities as haptic, structured experiences in the material world rather than as expressions of doctrinal, belief-based mentalities; and third, by considering Roman sacrifice as a local, site-specific ritual rather than as a single, monolithic practice.

L'élégante et fière sentinelle qui émerge au coeur du grouillant quartier des Halles est née de la volonté du roi François Ier de doter Paris d'une nouvelle grande église, remplaçant une ancienne église paroissiale du XIIIe siècle. La première pierre est posée en 1532 par le prévôt des marchands Jean de la Barre, témoignant d'un lien privilégié avec la vie d'un quartier qui n'a cesse de s'adapter aux évolutions de la cite. Son architecture composite marque l'originalité de Saint-Eustache, presque aussi vaste que sa voisine, Notre-Dame : l'élévation est gothique, les ornements sont Renaissance et la façade, réaménagée au XVIIIe siècle par Jean Mansart de Jouy sur le modèle de Saint-Sulpice, est de facture classique, offrant a l'oeil du visiteur d'infinies découvertes et curiosités. Le mausolée de Colbert y voisine ainsi avec de grandes orgues parmi les plus prestigieuses au monde.

Westminster Abbey contains the only surviving medieval Cosmatesque mosaics outside Italy. They comprise: the 'Great Pavement' in the sanctuary; the pavement around the shrine of Edward the Confessor; the saint's tomb and shrine; Henry III's tomb; the tomb of a royal child, and some other pieces. Surprisingly, the mosaics have never before received detailed recording and analysis, either individually or as an assemblage. These two volumes present a holistic study of this outstanding group of monuments in their historical architectural and archaeological context. The shrine of St Edward is a remarkable survival, having been dismantled at the Dissolution and re-erected (incorrectly) in 1557 under Queen Mary. Large areas of missing mosaic were replaced with plaster on to which mosaic designs were carefully painted. This 16th-century fictive mosaic is unique in Britain. Conservation of the sanctuary pavement was accompanied by full archaeological recording with every piece of mosaic decoration drawn and coloured by David Neal, phase plans have been prepared, and stone-by-stone examination undertaken, petrologically identifying and recording the locations of all the materials present. It has revealed that both the pavements and tombs include a range of exotic stone types. The Cosmati study has shed fresh light on every aspect of the unique series of monuments in Westminster Abbey; this work will fill a major lacuna in our knowledge of 13th-century English art of the first rank, and will command international interest.

Art as Biblical Commentary is not just about biblical art but, more importantly, about biblical exegesis and the contributions visual criticism as an exegetical tool can make to biblical exegesis and commentary. Using a range of texts and numerous images, J. Cheryl Exum asks what works of art can teach us about the biblical text. 'Visual criticism' is her term for an approach that addresses this question by focusing on the narrativity of images-reading them as if, like texts, they have a story to tell-and asking what light an image's 'story' can shed on the biblical narrator's story.In Part I, Exum elaborates on her approach and offers a personal testimony to the value of visual criticism. Part 2 examines in detail the story of Hagar in Genesis 16 and 21. Part 3 contains chapters on erotic looking and voyeuristic gazing in the stories of Bathsheba, Susanna, Joseph and Potiphar's wife and the Song of Songs; on the distribution of renown among Jael, Deborah and Barak; on the Bible's notorious women, Eve and Delilah; and on the sacrificed female body in the stories of the Levite's wife (Judges 19) and Mary the mother of Jesus.
