Space, Place, and Motion: Locating Confraternities in the Late Medieval and Early Modern City
Space, Place, and Motion: Locating Confraternities in the Late Medieval and Early Modern City offers the first sustained comparative examination of the relationship between confraternal life and the spaces of the late medieval and early modern city. By considering cities large (Rome) and small (Aalst) in regions as disparate as Ireland and Mexico, the essays collected here seek to uncover the commonalities and differences in confraternal practice as they played out on the urban stage. From the candlelit oratory to the bustling piazza, from the hospital ward to the festal table, from the processional route to the execution grounds, late medieval and early modern cities, this interdisciplinary book contends, were made up of fluid and contested ‘confraternal spaces.’ Contributors are: Kira Maye Albinsky, Meryl Bailey, Cormac Begadon, Caroline Blondeau-Morizot, Danielle Carrabino, Andrew Chen, Ellen Decraene, Laura Dierksmeier, Ellen Alexandra Dooley, Douglas N. Dow, Anu Mänd, Rebekah Perry, Pamela A.V. Stewart, Arie van Steensel, and Barbara Wisch.
Espais i imatges de la Generalitat
La Generalitat Valenciana, nascuda fa ara sis-cents anys, va tenir quasi des dels orígens la necessitat de comptar amb una “marca corporativa”, uns elements simbòlics que la representaren, cridaren l’atenció i, d’alguna manera, ressaltaren la seua presència i la seua importància. És per això que va invertir diners i esforços per a alçar una seu monumental que posés cara a aquest nou poder que cercava fer-se lloc en la xarxa política del regne. A més, lluny de limitar-se al recinte del flamant palau, la Diputació del General va buscar també projectar la seua imatge en el territori, dissenyant emblemes propis, participant en els actes públics o finançant obres. Aquest p...
Reading the Royal Monument in Eighteenth-Century Europe
Reading the Royal Monument in Eighteenth-Century Europe is the first in-depth study of the major role played by royal monuments in the public space of expanding cities across eighteenth-century Europe. Using the royal public statues as the basis for its examination of modern European cities, the book considers the development of urban landscapes from the creation of capital cities to the last embers of the Ancien R?me and at how the royal politics of the arts affected the cityscapes of the time. The focus of the book thereby intersects across a spectrum of disciplines, including the social and architectural history of cities, the politics of urban planning, the history of monumental sculpture, and the material culture of the eighteenth century.

Bianco tenebra
Tra letteratura e storia e storia dell’arte Luca Scarlini costruisce un percorso tra gli stucchi di Giacomo Serpotta, da molti considerato il maggiore scultore del Settecento che operò in Sicilia. Putti, statue e decori dell’artista che adornano chiese e oratori sono lo spettacolo più conturbante della Palermo barocca.
Das subversive Bild
The ability of pictures to undermine aesthetic standards and call artistic conventions into question is central to the research projects of the art historian Jürgen Müller, to whom this volume commemorating his sixtieth birthday is dedicated. Numerous essays by longtime colleagues provide new interpretations of well- and lesser-known masterpieces, in which the initial impression is frequently turned into its opposite. Jürgen Müller has held the professorship of medieval and modern art history at the TU Dresden since 2003. He has written authoritative monographs and studies on Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Rembrandt, and Caravaggio, and edited a wide range of scholarly anthologies and exhibition catalogues. He has become known far beyond academic circles through his editing of volumes published by Taschen Verlag about the films of various decades.
