Eye and Art in Ancient Greece
Studies in Archaeoaesthetics
Christopher Witcombe
Eye and Art in Ancient Greece examines the art of ancient Greece through reconstructions
of how the Greeks saw and understood the products of their own visual culture. The book
examines various key aspects of Greek visual culture, such as continuity and change, nudity,
identity, lifelikeness, mimesis, personation and enactment, symmetria, dance, harmony, and the
modal representation of emotions.

Saints, Miracles and the Image
Healing Saints and Miraculous Images in the Renaissance
Sandra Cardarelli, Laura Fenelli (eds)
This volume fills a void in current art historical research and examines how miraculous images and
the imagery of healing saints were crucial to the creation of individual, corporate and collective
identities in Florence, Siena, Rome, Naples and other lesser researched Italian centres. The essays
in this collection address aspects related to the development of hagiographies, iconographies, cult
of relics, and devotion of healing saints.

This volume serves as an introduction to what its editors have chosen to call the “artistic
cultures” prevalent during the Middle Ages in the region of the South Caucasus. Because of the
transcultural nature and elevated artistic quality of their objects and monuments, they have much
to offer the field of art history among medieval cultures.

In this volume, twelve specialists examine the role of graphic signs such as cross signs, christograms,
and monograms in the late Roman and post-Roman worlds and the contexts that facilitated their
dissemination in diverse media. The essays collected here explore the rise and spread of graphic
signs in relation to socio-cultural transformations during Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages,
focusing in particular on evolving perceptions and projections of authority.

Sharon E. J. Gerstel (ed.)
The thirteen papers in this volume focus on the art, architecture, and topography of medieval

Medieval Intersections of Art, Music, and Sound
Susan Boynton, Diane J. Reilly (eds)
Winner of the 2016 “Ruth A. Solie” Award of the American Musicological Society.
This study brings together for the first time scholars of Christian, Islamic and Jewish art and
music to reconstruct the complex intersection between art, architecture and sound in the
medieval world. Case studies explore how ambient and programmatic sound, including chant
and speech, and its opposite, silence, interacted with objects and the built environment to
create the multisensory experiences that characterized medieval life.

Jheronimus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel the Elder.
Assembling knowledge not setting puzzles
Stephen Graham Hitchins
This book challenges many of the assumptions about Jheronimus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel the

of their work is one of art history’s blood sports. The answer lies in the cultural relationship
between the artwork and its audience.

Marion Boudon-Machuel, Pascale Charron (éd.)
Qualifiée d’« ombilic du royaume » par l’humaniste florentin Francesco Florio, Tours est à
partir de la décennie 1440 le lieu de séjour favori des rois de France et de la cour et, dès
lors, l’une des villes les plus importantes du domaine royal. C’est ce foyer que le colloque
organisé en mai 2012 au Centre d’Études Supérieures de la Renaissance, et dont les actes
sont publiés ici, a choisi d’étudier.

Voir l’au-delà
L’expérience visionnaire et sa représentation
dans l’art italien de la Renaissance
Philippe Morel, Andreas Beyer, Alessandro Nova (éd.)
L’ouvrage propose une étude renouvelée de l’expérience visionnaire à travers ses
représentations dans l’art de la Renaissance. À l’âge du triomphe de l’historia et de la
mimésis la vision de l’au-delà a néanmoins très largement occupé la réflexion et la création
artistiques, y compris dans l’art italien qui a été bien moins étudié selon ce point de vue,
que ne l’ont été l’art flamand du XVe siècle ou l’art espagnol du XVIIe siècle.

Temporality and Mediality in Late Medieval

Christian Kiening, Martina Stercken (eds)
This interdisciplinary volume explores the ways in which time is staged at the threshold between
the Middle Ages and the early modern period. Proceeding from the reality that all cultural forms
are inherently and inescapably temporal, it seeks to discover the significance of time in mediations
and communications of all kinds. The volume provides a new approach to media and mediality
from the perspective of cultural history.

Netherlandish Culture of the
Sixteenth Century
Urban Perspectives
Ethan Matt Kavaler, Anne-Laure Van Bruaene (eds)
A selection of essays by an international group of historians and art historians on the rich urban culture of
the sixteenth-century Low Countries.
The authors of this volume examine various fields of cultural discourse in the Netherlands of the sixteenth century:
the political, commercial, religious, artistic, and sensory domains, and less obviously metaphysical properties like time
and space. What defined the Low Countries were not its borders and its territories but its cities, and their economies
dominated political relations. A dense network of large cities and small towns developed hand in hand with a broad
range of textile and luxury industries. In Antwerp, culture was commerce: its art and printing industries catered to
much of the Western world and, at the same time, carved a confident self-image celebrating the liberal arts as a
means of social and self-improvement. Antwerp is omnipresent in this book, with essays on its painting, printing, politics,
and public festivals. But other cities such as Bruges, Leuven, and Leiden also figure prominently. It was precisely the
interconnectedness of urban centers, large, middle and small, rather than their autonomous character, that defined civic
culture in the Low Countries. Among the topics treated are differing notions of urban topography, the dialogue between
city and court, issues of censorship, and the sensory and psychological response to texts and images.

Light and Shade in Dutch and Flemish Art
A History of Chiaroscuro in Art Theory and Artistic Practice in
the Netherlands of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
Ulrike Kern
This book presents the first systematic analysis of artistic techniques and terminology related to the
rendering of light and shade in Dutch and Flemish art from the early-seventeenth to the mid-eighteenth
century. It traces a shift in aesthetic perception, which is visible in the handling of chiaroscuro in Dutch and

Rubens and the Human Body
Cordula van Wyhe (ed.)
Did contemporary audiences recognise the sensuously painted ‘Rubensian body’ as a particular,
if not peculiar, artistic repertoire? How can we best understand seventeenth-century practises
of reading and viewing the Rubensian body? Can our criteria for eroticism be linked with that of
Rubens? Was the body a ‘fluid’ category for Rubens and where does the boundary of the human
body lie? It is hoped that these investigative questions will lead to a detailed evaluation about the
paradigmatic status of the Rubensian body and whether we are justified in stressing its singularity
within seventeenth-century Flemish and the broader early modern European visual culture.

Jan de Beer
Gothic Renewal in Renaissance Antwerp
Dan Ewing
This is the first published monograph on the Antwerp painter Jan de Beer (c.1475-1527 /28),
with an oeuvre catalogue. This study argues that De Beer’s work, plus that of the Mannerists and
the city’s retable carvers, should be understood as a novel, modern expression of late Gothic
art, a sixteenth-century renewal of the Gothic mode that was also manifested in contemporary
architecture, calligraphy, music and poetry.

Van Dyck’s Hosts in Genoa
Lucas and Cornelis de Wael’s Lives,
Business Activities and Works
Alison Stoesser
Long overshadowed by the brilliance of their close friend, Anthony van Dyck, Lucas and Cornelis de Wael, active as
artists and dealers in Antwerp, Genoa and Rome, have largely been ignored in Flemish art historical literature. No
monograph on them has appeared since 1925. This book aims to rectify this situation by giving a global overview of
their wide-ranging pursuits. However, before assessing their personal histories it first examines the historical context,
particularly with respect to the 17th-century art market in these three cities, with special attention given to its structure
in Genoa, so far neglected in surveys of the Italian markets. A fresh appraisal of information from archival and other
sources in each city has been undertaken to give a revealing up-to-date insight into their lives, trading activities in
goods ranging from art works to second-hand clothing and hides, as well as their extensive network of friends and
clients stretching from the Northern Netherlands to Sicily, including their close business association with the prominent
Flemish art dealer Matthijs Musson and the Moretus family, owners of the Plantin-Moretus publishing house. Their own
contribution to the art world is not neglected, with a full discussion of their works and an accompanying catalogue
raisonné, which, in Cornelis de Wael’s case, includes his extensive oeuvre of paintings, drawings and prints. In addition,
the De Wael brothers’ crucial function as hosts to Dutch and Flemish artists in both Genoa and Rome, with Van Dyck
being the most famous, is also considered, while Cornelis de Wael’s not inconsiderable role in making Rembrandt’s prints
known in both cities in his capacity as an art dealer is brought into focus. Despite the relative obscurity of his works till
now, the sometimes unexpected influence of these on other artists from as far apart as the Northern Netherlands and
Spain is also given careful attention.

Tristan and Isolde
Medieval Illustrations of the Verse Romances
Stephanie C. Van D’Elden
The story of Tristan and Isolde was one of the most popular in the Middle Ages. Resonances of it appear in other
narratives, in poetry, and especially in art in the form of wall paintings, wall hangings, tapestries, bed coverings, tablecloths,
and other needle work, floor tiles, marriage caskets, mirrors, purses, shoes, and combs. More publicly, scenes from the
story appear on misericords from English cathedrals and on Baltic city halls; stone figures grace façades and mantlepieces
of grand palaces of the rich bourgeoisie. And, of course, there are a number of illuminated manuscripts illustrating
the texts themselves. The purpose of this book is to list all the extant manuscripts and artefacts – objets d’art, and to
describe the scenes depicted on them.

Agency and Intention in English Print, 1476–1526
Kathleen Tonry
This volume offers a new intellectual framework for early print that bridges divisions between the study
of print and the study of literature, between manuscripts and printed books, and between pre- and
post-1500 textual cultures.Through an extensive focus on medieval texts and ideas, it is demonstrated
here that in the half-century before the Reformation, English print was part of a highly energetic
tradition of late medieval textual production. Central to this tradition was the expression of ethical
agency, or moral ‘entente’, through the creation of texts and books. This insight reveals how the first
English printed books expressed the deliberate moral and cultural commitments of individual printers.

Essays in honour of Sible de Blaauw
Mariëtte Verhoeven, Lex Bosman, Hanneke Van Asperen (eds)
Essays on the memorial potential of Christian buildings, of their location, or of the accoutrement,
whether or not still in situ, with a special attention to Rome’s churches.
This volume honours Sible de Blaauw on the occasion of his retirement from Radboud University. It is above all a
tribute to an influential and respected voice in the field of early Christian art and architecture. Thirty-one authors have
sought to provide their own unique answer to the question of how Christian cult buildings have played a role in cultural
memory in different periods and in various geographical and cultural contexts. From its very onset, this publication was
envisioned as a parallel to De Blaauw’s own research interests: Rome and its monuments, early Christianity, Christian
religious heritage, liturgy and architecture, continuity of tradition, and memory. The contributions have been arranged
according to three sections: Monuments – Places – Decoration & Liturgical Furnishing. Every essay addresses the
memorial potential of Christian buildings, of their location, or of the accoutrement, whether or not still in situ. Not
surprisingly, Rome re-appears frequently in all sections, with Rome’s churches receiving special attention. Together the
essays cover a period from Late Antiquity to modern times, from Helena to Gerhard Richter, from late antique poets
to a Ravennesque mosaic in the 1930s. Thus, this volume assumes the diachronic nature that characterizes De Blaauw’s
own scholarship. The leitmotifs of Christian cult and material and immaterial constructions of the past tie together the
sections as well as the book as a whole. Nevertheless, the main binding element between the essays is their authors’
fondness and appreciation of Sible de Blaauw.
