In the nineteenth century, the search for the artistic, architectural and written monuments promoted by the French State with the aim to build a unified nation transcending regional specificities, also fostered the development of local or regional identitary consciousness. In Roussillon, this distinctive consciousness relied on a basically cultural concept of nation epitomised mainly by the Catalan language – Roussillon being composed of Catalan counties annexed to France in 1659. In The Antiquarians of the Nation, Francesca Zantedeschi explores how the works of Roussillon's archaeologists and philologists, who retrieved and enhanced the Catalan specificities of the region, contributed to the early stages of a ‘national’ (Catalan) cultural revival, and galvanised the implicit debate between (French) national history and incipient regional studies.
During the sixteenth century, antiquarian studies (the study of the material past, comprising modern archaeology, epigraphy, and numismatics) rose in Europe in parallel to the technical development of the printing press. Some humanists continued to prefer the manuscript form to disseminate their findings – as numerous fair copies of sylloges and treatises attest –, but slowly the printed medium grew in popularity, with its obvious advantages but also its many challenges. As antiquarian printed works appeared, the relationship between manuscript and printed sources also became less linear: printed copies of earlier works were annotated to serve as a means of research, and printed works could be copied by hand – partially or even completely. This book explores how antiquarian literature (collections of inscriptions, treatises, letters...) developed throughout the sixteenth century, both in manuscript and in print; how both media interacted with each other, and how these printed antiquarian works were received, as attested by the manuscript annotations left by their early modern owners and readers.
Recull les ponències i comunicacions presentades i discutides dins les Jornades d’història de l’art a Catalunya, que es celebraren a Valls al juny del 2006, i que fou un marc de trobada obert entre investigadors universitaris i els estudiosos del nostre patrimoni barroc que treballen en l’àmbit dels museus, en els centres d’estudis comarcals i locals, i en el camp de la restauració-conservació. La proposta en el seu dia avançada pel Museu de Valls va ser recollida, atesa l’excel lència de la tradició artística barroca de la ciutat, amb la figura insigne de Lluís Bonifàs i Massó (1730-1786), de qui celebràvem els 275 anys del naixement, i la del seu germà Francesc Bonifàs (1735-1806), de qui es complien 200 anys de la mort. D’altra banda, l’origen vallenc de l’arquitecte i historiador Cèsar Martinell i Brunet (1888-1973), il lustre precursor en la reivindicació i en l’estudi de l’escultura i l’arquitectura barroques feien encara més adient la seu de Valls per a aquestes Jornades.
The Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture (French Academy of Painting and Sculpture)—perhaps the single most influential art institution in history—governed the arts in France for more than 150 years, from its founding in 1648 until its abolition in 1793. Christian Michel's sweeping study presents an authoritative, in-depth analysis of the Académie’s history and legacy. The Académie Royale assembled nearly all of the important French artists working at the time, maintained a virtual monopoly on teaching and exhibitions, enjoyed a priority in obtaining royal commissions, and deeply influenced the artistic landscape in France. Yet the institution remains little understood today:...

Este volumen recoge las aportaciones entorno a la configuración del perfil del artista y cómo ha ido evolucionando a lo largo de la Historia, atendiendo a los procesos formativos, la proyección social de su figura y la construcción de la idea de genio, así como a la representación de su imagen. Han sido llevadas a cabo por más de treinta autores procedentes de diversas universidades y centros de investigación nacionales e internacionales en el marco del simposio internacional Reflexiones sobre el gusto V, dedicado a El artista, mito y realidad, organizado por el grupo de investigación de referencia Vestigium a finales de octubre de 2019 en Zaragoza.
Every year, the Bibliography catalogues the most important new publications, historiographical monographs, and journal articles throughout the world, extending from prehistory and ancient history to the most recent contemporary historical studies. Within the systematic classification according to epoch, region, and historical discipline, works are also listed according to author’s name and characteristic keywords in their title.

Le geste technique est reconnu comme partie intégrante d'un « patrimoine immatériel » par la richesse inégalée des métiers vivants. Comment comprendre ce mouvement du corps ouvrier dans toutes ses nuances, au fil du temps, grâce aux mots, aux images et aux traces matérielles ? L’ouvrage est un hommage à l’anthropologue François Sigaut (1940-2012)..
