Le temps des ruines
C'est au prix d'une généralisation hâtive d'un trait de la sensibilité de son temps que Chateaubriand déclare : " Tous les hommes ont un secret attrait pour les ruines ". S'il est en effet des époques où le spectacle des ruines a fait naître une émotion et un plaisir singuliers, il en est d'autres où il n'a suscité qu'indifférence voire horreur. Tout permet de désigner la Renaissance comme le moment où le goût des ruines s'est manifesté pour la première fois en Occident. Cette apparition elle-même peut être interprétée comme révélatrice de l'émergence d'une nouvelle forme de conscience historique. Située à la croisée de l'histoire de l'art, de l'esthétique et de la philosophie de l'histoire, cette étude s'attache à l'examen du traitement poétique, pictural et philosophique du motif de la ruine, du début du XIVe siècle à la fin du XVIe siècle et appréhende, à travers lui, la transition d'une approche théologique et allégorique de l'histoire à une conception séculière, prenant pour modèle le cycle biologique de la croissance et du déclin.

Vested Angels
Mc Namee's detailed and well illustrated new study is about eucharistic symbolism in Early Netherlandish painting. It focuses on the pervading presence of the vested angel in this school of painting and its eucharistic significance. These angels, dressed in every possible variation of the vestements of the subministers of the traditional Solemn High Mass, are represented as serving the Christ in each episode of His life. The history of the vested angel is traced through numerous paintings representing scenes from the life of Christ' from the Annunciation through the Last Judgement. The theological basis of this study is offered in a discussion of Maurice de la Taille's Mysterium Fidei, a theory of Mass that best parallels the concept of Eucharistic symbolism in Early Netherlandish painting. Colour illustrations and over a hundred photographs of the original paintings help the reader to follow this fascinating analysis.
Past Looking
Michael Ann Holly asserts that historical interpretation of the pictorial arts is always the intellectual product of a dynamic exchange between past and present. Recent theory emphasizes the subjectivity of the historian and the ways in which any interpretation betrays the presence of an interpreter. In Past Looking, she challenges that view, arguing that historical objects of representational art are actively engaged in prefiguring the kinds of histories that can be written about them. Holly directs her attention to early modern works of visual art and their rhetorical roles in legislating the kind of tales told bout them by a few classic cultural commentaries of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: Burckhardt's synchronic vision of the Italian Renaissance, Wölfflin's exemplification of the Baroque, Schapiro's and Freud's dispute over the meanings of Leonardo's art, and Panofsky's exegesis of the disguised symbolism of Northern Renaissance painting.
