The book examines military paintings in France in the 1850s and 1860s, when the genre experienced a new lease of life. It recreates the paintings' art-historical, historical and social context, and considers the explosion of military subjects in their own right rather than as a consequence of war reporting. The paintings' entertainment value effectively communicated political agendas, catering to the emerging phenomenon of mass spectatorship and giving rise to innovative compositions. The book also looks at the other side of the artistic spectrum, proposing that smaller formats adapted the sentimental techniques of military memoirs to focus on the soldiers' experiences of warfare and to elicit a critique of war.

Les images des guerres anciennes ou contemporaines, par la une des journaux, les jeux vidéo, le cinéma, nous sont devenues presque familières. Quelles sont les conséquences de cette proximité pour un enfant, un adolescent, un adulte ? Que signifie voir la guerre aujourd'hui et comment l'aborder quand on est photoreporter, artiste, médiateur, enseignant ? Un premier volume est consacré aux visions. Ce second volume donne la parole à deux philosophes des arts et de l'image, à un historien et à trois spécialistes de la littérature et du langage. Avec des cadres conceptuels différents, ces chercheurs ont une visée commune : mieux voir, mieux comprendre ces représentations, l'éducation à l'image, médiatique ou artistique. [4e de couv.]

European Renaissance Festivals are noted for their extravagance, for their inherited classical culture, and as evidence of how court and civic spectacles could express political, religious, social, and economic aspirations. In this new monograph, the accent is firmly on the violent context of Magnificence: it examines how war affected the minds and practice of both artists and princes, and shows how victims and their suffering were as prominent in festival as were conquerors and their projections of victory. What emerges here is the dark side represented in princely entries where imperial ambitions are built upon civic devastation and where myths elaborate and expose their ambiguous nature and message. Artists and poets collaborated in bringing victory and violence together: Mantegna and Durer in triumphal processions; Frans Floris and Rubens on the canvases they created for triumphal arches, where mythology was put to work to arouse excitement for deeds of heroism and death, while engravers depicted scenes of war and destruction to accommodate contemporary taste.

Bilder des Krieges sind ein dominantes Thema in der griechischen und römischen Kunst. Darstellungen von Kriegertum und Kampf sind visuelle Zeugnisse sozialer Ideale, öffentliche Siegesdenkmäler sind Faktoren der politischen Herrschaft. Nachdem die Forschung eine große Zahl einzelner Denkmäler und Gattungen von Bildwerken untersucht hat, wird in diesem Buch eine Synthese vorgelegt, in der die unterschiedlichen Konzepte und Wahrnehmungen des Krieges von der griechischen Frühzeit bis zur späten römischen Kaiserzeit kontrastiv gegeneinander gestellt werden. Dabei werden nicht nur die Funktionen der Bildwerke für die explizite Verherrlichung von Sieg und Ruhm dargestellt, sondern vor allem auch die ambivalenten impliziten Triebkräfte untersucht, die der kriegerischen Gewalt als Motivationen zugrunde liegen. In vier Kapiteln wird jeweils eine dieser Motivationen als prägende Kraft in einer Epoche des antiken Kriegswesens vor Augen geführt: Archaisches Griechenland: Glanz und Exzess des kriegerischen Heldentums; Klassisches Griechenland: Impulse und Risiken der politischen Identität; Alexander der Große bis Augustus: Ambition und Manifestation universaler Herrschaft; Römische Kaiserzeit: Imperiale Ideologie und militärische Realität. Images of war in Greek and Roman art reveal much more than the mere veneration of victory and glory. This book examines ancient Greek and Roman sculpture and memorials to reveal the ambivalent motivating forces that underlie the violence of war to this day: individual heroism, political identity, universal rule, and imperial ideology.
