Art History and Visual Studies in Europe
Reflection on the history and practice of art history has long been a major topic of research and scholarship, and this volume builds on this tradition by offering a critical survey of many of the major developments in the contemporary discipline, such as the impact of digital technologies, the rise of visual studies or new initiatives in conservation theory and practice. Alongside these methodological issues this book addresses the mostly neglected question of the impact of national contexts on the development of the discipline. Taking a wide range of case studies, this book examines the impact of the specific national political, institutional and ideological demands on the practice of art history. The result is an account that both draws out common features and also highlights the differences and the plurality of practices that together constitute art history as a discipline.
Esthétique et philosophie de l'art
Cet ouvrage présente un panorama historique et thématique de la pensée esthétique occidentale. La réflexion philosophique s'y intègre dans le concert des multiples approches dont l'art et l'expérience du beau, du sublime ou encore de la mimèsis peuvent faire l'objet. Un dialogue approfondi avec la littérature artistique, la critique et les sciences de l'art apparaît, en effet, comme un axe nécessaire de l'approche philosophique elle-même, dont la dynamique propre oriente néanmoins l'ensemble ici proposé. Le volume se structure en deux parties. La première, la plus importante par le nombre de pages, retrace la genèse historique des grands concepts esthétiques de la tradition ...
Questions D'ornement
Apres avoir longtemps ete mise a la marge des etudes en histoire de l'art, la question de l'ornement fait aujourd'hui l'objet d'un regain d'interet considerable et de profonds renouvellements theoriques et methodologiques. S'inscrivant dans un champ de recherche en plein (re)developpement, le propos de cet ouvrage est de questionner la nature, les fonctions et les usages de l'ornement a un moment particulier de son histoire?: les Temps Modernes. Comment l'ornement a-t-il pu etre compris, exploite, legitime, canalise par un discours qui s'est cristallise autour des genres et de leur hierarchie ? Face a ce discours, comment l'ornement a pu reellement faire sens dans l'histoire des arts et comm...
Jesuit Art
In Jesuit Art, Mia Mochizuki considers the artistic production of the pre-suppression Society of Jesus (1540–1773) from a global perspective. Geographic and medial expansion of the standard corpus changes not only the objects under analysis, it also affects the kinds of queries that arise. Mochizuki draws upon masterpieces and material culture from around the world to assess the signature structural innovations pioneered by Jesuits in the history of the image. When the question of a ‘Jesuit style’ is rehabilitated as an inquiry into sources for a spectrum of works, the Society’s investment in the functional potential of illustrated books reveals the traits that would come to define the modern image as internally networked, technologically defined, and innately subjective.
Emblemata Sacra
"This volume includes the late Elisabeth Stopp's previously unpublished study of La vie symbolique du bienheureux Francois de Sales (1664) of Adrien Gambart (1660-68), an introductory essay by Agnes Guiderdoni-Brusle that updates and amplifies Stopp's work, and a facsimile of Gambart's emblem book. This book was inspired by the life and writings of St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622), and written for the Sisters of the Visitation monastery of Faubourg Saint-Jacques in Paris, where Gambart, a Vincentian priest, served as chaplain for over thirty years. It was published in preparation for Francis's canonization in 1665." "Stopp's study offers an English translation of the key observations made by Gambart about each of the fifty-two emblems, while the facsimile makes available Gambarts original French text. Moreover, the facsimile is reproduced in color in order to convey the tonal richness of the original emblems."--BOOK JACKET.
Interruptions and Transitions: Essays on the Senses in Medieval and Early Modern Visual Culture
Interruptions and Transitions: Essays on the Senses in Medieval and Early Modern Visual Culture is an anthology of the most recent works by Barbara Baert, discussing the connection between the experiences of the senses in the medieval and early modern visual culture, the hermeneutics of imagery, and the limits and possibilities of contemporary Art Sciences. The six chapters include Pentecost, Noli me tangere, the woman with an issue of blood, the Johannesschüssel, the dancing Salome, and the role of the wind. The reader is shown a medieval and early modern visual culture as a history of artistic solutions, as the fascinating approach between biblical texts, plastic imagination, and the art-scientific métier. This makes him a privileged guest in a unique in-between space where humans and their artistic expression can meet existentially.

Eloquent Images
The Christian image in the process of modern globalisation Drawing on original research covering different periods and spaces, this book sets out to appreciate the specific place of images in the history of evangelisation in the long modern period. How can we reconceptualise the functions of the visual mediation of the gospel message, both in terms of the production and reception of this message and in terms of its effective mediators, artists, religious, and cultural ambassadors? The contributions in this book offer multiple geographical and historical insights regarding the circulation of the image on the global scale of the Christianised world or the world in the process of being Christia...
