Prince des Ténèbres, Porteur de Lumière ou Roi des Enfers, le Diable a autant de noms que de visages. Mais où est passé le monstre aux yeux exorbités, aux cornes d'ébène et à la gueule pestilentielle, la Bête vers qui convergent toutes les déchéances et les déviances du genre humain ? Grâce à une lecture brillante des textes et des images de la Renaissance et du Moyen Âge, Daniel Arasse décrit l'irrésistible essor de la figure du Diable et révèle comment la culture humaniste a combattu cette ténébreuse créature médiévale pour la reléguer au rang de superstition. Pourtant Satan continue de hanter l'esprit des hommes. Mais il n'est plus ce monstre bestial, nous lui avons prêté notre visage, nos habitudes : il est devenu une métaphore du « mal » qui ronge le coeur de l'humanité.

Warfare, and the circumstances surrounding it, have often provided important impulses for cultural production. This book explores the relationship between warfare and image-making in the early modern period. Rather than dealing with images simply as reproductions of actual events, the volume demonstrates complex processes by which political, national and social identities are negotiated and fashioned in warfare imagery. The book analyses three main issues: the impact of war on art, the ways in which warfare imagery supports dominant ideologies, and the manner in which such imagery also constructs alternative identities. The essays offer a broad range of methodologies while dealing with a wide array of chronological, geographical and artistic materials. Historians and art historians will find this volume particularly useful in its nuanced examination of the relationship between art and history.

Early modern art features a remarkable fascination with ornament, both as decorative device and compositional strategy, across artistic media and genres. Interestingly, the inventive, elegant manifestations of ornament in the art of the period often include layers of disquieting paradoxes, creating tensions - monstrosities even - that manifest themselves in a variety of ways. In some cases, dichotomies (between order and chaos, artificiality and nature, rational logic and imaginative creativity, etc.) may emerge. Elsewhere, a sense of agitation undermines structures of statuesque control or erupts into wild, unruly displays of constant genesis. The monstrosity of ornament is brought into play through strategies of hybridity and metamorphosis, or by the handling of scale, proportion, and space in ambiguous and discomforting ways that break with the laws of physical reality. An interest in strange exaggeration and curious artifice allows for such colossal ornamental attitude to thrive within early modern art.
