Ce catalogue est publié à l'occasion de la réouverture du musée départemental de Flandre, le premier et seul musée à se consacrer uniquement à mettre en lumière l'identité culturelle flamande. Entre art ancien et art contemporain, il présente une sélection d'oeuvres insolites et emblématiques de cette collection hétérogène et permet de dégager les caractères spécifiques de la Flandre. Du Portrait de fou regardant à travers ses doigts, peinture flamande du Maître de 1537, aux créations de l'artiste contemporain Jan Fabre, de Roelandt Savery à Thierry De Cordier, de Joachim Patinir à Léo Copers, ce volume nous dévoile un véritable cabinet de curiosités, source de contemplation et d'émerveillement.
Au travers d'une sélection exceptionnelle de peintures et de gravures des XVe et XVIIe siècles venues d'Europe et des Etats-Unis, l'exposition porte un regard neuf sur la représentation de la mer dans l'art flamand. Car si les marines sont une spécialité de la peinture hollandaise, ce sont les artistes flamands qui en sont les véritables inventeurs. On doit à Pieter Bruegel l'Ancien les premières scènes en pleine mer comme en témoigne la Bataille navale dans le golfe de Naples, l'un de ses chefs-d'oeuvre, exceptionnellement prêté pour cette exposition par la Galleria Doria Painphilj à Rome. Le développement économique et maritime de la Flandre aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles ainsi que les batailles navales ont largement contribué au succès du genre. Cependant, au-delà d'une vision historique et sociale du sujet, les peintres n'échappent pas au pouvoir fascinant de la mer, inonde peuplé de monstres et de divinités, source inépuisable d'inspiration...
This book uncovers the vital relationships between British troops and local inhabitants in France and Belgium during the First World War.
Pieter Coecke van Aelst (1502 – 1550) was renowned throughout Renaissance Europe as a draftsman, painter, and publisher of architectural treatises. The magnificent tapestries he designed were acquired by the wealthiest clients of the day, up to and including rulers such as Emperor Charles V, King Francis I of France, King Henry VIII of England, and Grand Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici of Tuscany. At the same time, Coecke was remarkable not only for the complexity and unparalleled quality of his tapestries, but also for his fluency in various media: this lavishly illustrated volume examines the full range of his work, from tapestry and stained-glass window designs to panel paintings, prints, dr...
Nord-Pas de Calais is Britain's foothold in France; it's where the ferries dock and the Channel Tunnel emerges into daylight. Bradt's Cross-Channel France delves not only into the port towns but also into the forgotten France that's rarely reached. Sample Vieux Bologne - the smelliest cheese in the world; climb the hill at Cassel - where the Grand Old Duke of York marched his 10,000 men; or visit Agincourt - the site of a cornerstone battle in British history. The guide also reveals where visitors can shop for cut-price goods and where they can cycle, walk or ride horses. Bradt's Cross-Channel France is packed with information for day trips as well as longer family-friendly holidays.
