Western Decorative Arts: Volume 1
This volume is one of several that examines the National Gallery of Art's distinguished collection of decorative arts. (The second volume will be published in 1996.) The group treated here is composed primarily of works acquired from the Widener Collection, and amplified by holdings acquired from the Kress family. Included are more than eighty Medieval, Renaissance, and later historic objects in a wide variety of media, encompassing metalwork, stained glass, enamels, ceramics, and jewels. Among the highlights are a Limoges reliquary chasse, a Mosan lion aquamanile, thirty-eight pieces in a remarkable cohesive group of Italian maiolica, three of the very rare pottery objects known as 'Saint-Porchaire', and, the centerpiece of the collection, the Suger chalice, an ancient sardonyx cup to which the Abbot Suger added a bejewelled golden setting in the twelfth century. Like other volumes in the Systematic Catalogue of the National Gallery of Art Collections,Western Decorative Arts includes a thoroughly researched entry for each object, together with an artist biography, up-to-date bibliography, and a technical analysis.
Materials Analysis of Byzantine Pottery
This publication brings to a wider audience important new findings in the fields of medieval pottery and archaeometry. The new data that materials analysis provides about Byzantine ceramics and their production at times supports, modifies, and even contradicts conclusions derived from traditional archaeological methods.
Climat investigation
Le climat est aujourd'hui une guerre, une religion. Tout avis contraire sera éliminé. Quelle voix s'élèvera pour rompre le silence pour faire éclater la vérité avant le sommet de Paris ? Il n'existe aujourd'hui plus de lien entre le climat et le discours alarmiste sur ce sujet. Les Français sont maintenus dans la peur par un matraquage sans précédent. Cette prise d'otages constitue un enjeu diplomatique pour la Conférence de Paris. Au plus haut sommet de l'Etat, l'échec de la COP 21 est diagnostiqué depuis longtemps mais la manipulation et le spectacle s'amplifient davantage. Le GIEC, ultra politisé, se délite sous les scandales et ses méthodes critiquables. La parole scienti...
Fabienne Verdier
In September 2009, Fabienne Verdier embarked on the execution of four monumental murals for the walls of the Palazzo Torlonia in Rome. The photographer Philippe Chancel installed himself in Verdier's studio over the course of ten months, to record the genesis of these paintings and the work of the artist. This volume records their odyssey together.
The Glory of Byzantium
Serves as both visual and textual record of the exhibition of the same name, surveying the art of the Middle Byzantine period from the restoration of the use of icons by the Orthodox Church in 843 to the occupation of Constantinople by the Crusader forces from the West from 1204 to 1261. Conceived as a sequel to the 1976 exhibition "Age of Spirituality," which focused on the first centuries of Byzantium. Preceding the catalogue, 17 essays treat the historical context, religious sphere, and secular courtly realm of the empire, and the interactions between Byzantium and other medieval cultures. Abundantly illustrated. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

The Role of Woman in Middle Ages
Those interested in both the present day role of woman and its historical evolution will find this work an informative and valuable introduction to the topic. Focusing on the actual position woman held in medieval society and on the surprisingly diverse representations of her position in literature and the visual arts, the six essays collected in this volume reflect concern with the development of her role from classical antiquity and oral, illiterative communities on the one hand, to Renaissance society on the other. Specialists in different fields examine the complexities of topics such as the direct relationship between the longevity of woman and the value society confers upon her; the ch...
Cyber Campus : Uniting and expanding the cybersecurity ecosystem
On 16 July, at the instigation of the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister entrusted Michel Van Den Berghe with the task of studying the feasibility of a "cyber campus" with all the players in the digital ecosystem. His aim: to define a new center of gravity for digital security and trust in France and Europe. The prefiguration report for the Cyber Campus was presented at the 2020 International Cybersecurity Forum in Lille by Cédric O, Secretary of State for Digital Affairs, and Michel Van Den Berghe. This document defines the major missions as well as the vision for this unifying project. It also presents the keys to its success, directly from the opportunity study that is also proposed.
