Cette passionnante étude présente un panorama de la curiosité encyclopédique qui fonde la plupart des cabinets du XVIIe siècle. Les cabinets de curiosités sont un résumé du monde au moyen de ce qu'il offre de plus bizarre et de plus exotique. La prodigieuse hétérogénéité des collections - Crocodiles du Nil côtoyant les petites médailles d'or ou d'argent de l'antiquité, tulipes et hyacinthes discutant avec une tête de monstre et un canoë indien - n'est qu'une forme achevée d'un trait essentiel de la curiosité européenne du siècle des Lumières : son ouverture à l'ensemble des phénomènes visibles du monde, créés par Dieu ou par l'homme. Antoine Schnapper, en étudiant le cas français, passe en revue les acteurs variés de cette Comédie de la curiosité et montre combien de vieilles légendes restent néanmoins vivaces, ce qui expliquent l'attachement de ces collections pour des objets aussi étrange que la corne de licorne, la rose de Jéricho ou les dents de géants. Le Géant, la licorne et la tulipe est un livre essentiel sur l'étude des cabinets de curiosités en France, qui complète Curieux du Grand Siècle (Champs), ouvrage fondamental sur les collectionneurs au XVIIe siècle.

Idéal politique et esthétique, l'Antiquité était glorifiée dans toutes les cours d'Europe depuis la Renaissance, où les vestiges grecs et romains étaient collectionnés avec passion par les princes et les puissants. Mais, avec le règne de Louis XIV, cette admiration prit une tout autre dimension. Pour imposer aux yeux de tous l'avènement de la monarchie absolue et la puissance de la France, le Roi-Soleil conçut son palais comme une nouvelle Rome dédiée au culte d'Apollon et comme un sanctuaire pour sa prestigieuse collection de statues, bustes, vases, camées et médailles, jamais monarque n'avait acquis autant d'antiques et commandé autant de copies, fournissant une inépuisable source d'inspiration aux artistes de son temps. Architecture, sculpture, peinture, arts décoratifs, les décors versaillais ne cessèrent de puiser, même après le règne de Louis XIV, dans la mythologie et l'histoire antiques. Célébrant le pouvoir, l'ordre et la gloire, la présence de l'antique à Versailles consacre une véritable esthétique royale. Ce catalogue a été réalisé dans le cadre de l'exposition "Versailles et l'antique", fruit d'une collaboration exceptionnelle entre le château de Versailles et le musée du Louvre."--P. [4] of cover.

For her commissioning and performance of a French vernacular version of the Arabic tale of the Thousand and One Nights – recorded in one of the most vivid and sumptuous extant late thirteenth-century manuscripts – as well as for her numerous other commissions, Queen Marie of Brabant (1260-1321) was heralded as an intellectual and literary patron comparable to Alexander the Great and Charlemagne. Nevertheless, classic studies of the late medieval period understate Marie’s connection to the contemporary rise of secular interests at the French court. Pleasure and Politics seeks to reshape that conversation by illustrating how the historical and material record reveals the queen’s essential contributions to the burgeoning court. This emerging importance of the secular and redefinition of the sacred during the last decades of Capetian rule becomes all the more striking when juxtaposed to the pious tone of the lengthy reign of Louis IX (1214-1270), which had ended just four years before Marie’s marriage to his son. That Marie often chose innovative materials and iconographies for these objects — ones that would later in the fourteenth century become the norm — signals her impact on late medieval patronage. Pleasure and Politics examines Marie’s life beginning with her youth in Brabant, to her entry into Paris in 1274 accompanied by her retinue of courtiers, artists, objects, and ideas from the northern courts of Brabant, Flanders, and Artois. It continues with her elaborate coronation held for the first time in the Sainte-Chapelle the following year, her years as queen of France — often full of intrigue — and her long, productive widowhood, until her death and burial in 1321. With a focus on her Brabantine and Carolingian heritage joined to her status as French queen — often expressed through pioneering styles of heraldry — her commissions included ceremonies, marriage treaties, and intercessions, as well as a stunning collection of jewels, seals, manuscripts, reliquaries, sculpture, stained glass, and architecture that she gathered and built around her. This study also reveals Marie’s regular collaboration with family, friends, and artists, in particular that with the poet Adenet le Roi, women of the French court like Blanche of France (1252-1320), and relatives from the north like Robert of Artois (1250-1302). With this broader view, it also analyzes the dynamics of Marie’s patronage and its impact on contemporary and future women and men of the royal house. Court, culture, politics, and gender — these are the themes that flow throughout Marie of Brabant’s life and tie together the material effects of a long, pleasure-filled existence enlivened by the politics of Europe on the cusp of a new age.
