Courtly Encounters
In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the court was the crucial site where expanding Eurasian states and empires met and made sense of one another. Richly illustrated, Courtly Encounters provides a fresh cross-cultural perspective on early modern Islam, Counter-Reformation Catholicism, Protestantism, and a newly emergent Hindu sphere.

Una stagione informale. Capolavori europei dalla Collezione Reverberi. Catalogo della mostra (Aosta, 20 giugno-26 ottobre 2014). Ediz. italiana e francese
La collection de Gian Piero Reverberi offre une chance exceptionnelle d'explorer une période particulièrement dense et vitale de l'art du XXe siècle, celle de l'Informel. Le catalogue fait découvrir, comme l'on égrène les perles d'un collier, des créations du plus haut intérêt, qu'il s'agisse des exceptionnelles oeuvres d'Afro des années cinquante et soixante ou de la Combustione de Burri de 1964, en passant par Les nomades de Corneille, l'impalpable et délicieux Fiori de Nicola De Maria, les vigoureuses compositions de Hartung ou le chromatisme lyrique de Sam Francis, le Poisson à la table noire de Clavé, le délicat papier marouflé sur toile de Fautrier, l'art matérique de Piero Manzoni. "Harmonie et contrepoint" : c'est ainsi que Reverberi a imaginé sa collection, dans toute sa complexité, dans toute sa richesse.
Grotesque and Caricature
Grotesque and Caricature: Leonardo to Bernini examines these two genres across Renaissance and Early Modern Italy. Although their origins stem from Antiquity, it were Leonardo da Vinci’s early teste caricate that injected fresh life into the tradition, greatly inspiring generations of artists. Critical among them were his Milanese followers, such as Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo, and also Michelangelo and Sebastiano del Piombo as well as, notably, Annibale Carracci, Guercino, and Bernini among others. Their artistic production—drawings, prints, paintings, and sculpture—reveals deep interest in physical, physiognomic, and psychological observations with a penchant for humour and wit. Written by an international group of established and emerging scholars, this volume explores new insights to these complementary artistic genres. Contributors include: Carlo Avilio, Ilaria Bernocchi, Christophe Brouard, Sandra Cheng, Susan Klaiber, Michael W. Kwakkelstein, Tod A. Marder, Rebecca Norris, Lucia Tantardini, Nicholas J. L. Turner, Mary Vaccaro, and Matthias Wivel.
Botticelli Past and Present
The recent exhibitions dedicated to Botticelli around the world show, more than ever, the significant and continued debate about the artist. Botticelli Past and Present engages with this debate. The book comprises four thematic parts, spanning four centuries of Botticelli’s artistic fame and reception from the fifteenth century. Each part comprises a number of essays and includes a short introduction which positions them within the wider scholarly literature on Botticelli. The parts are organised chronologically beginning with discussion of the artist and his working practice in his own time, moving onto the progressive rediscovery of his work from the late eighteenth to the turn of the twentieth century, through to his enduring impact on contemporary art and design. Expertly written by researchers and eminent art historians and richly illustrated throughout, the broad range of essays in this book make a valuable contribution to Botticelli studies.
