Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of the relationship between moral principles and political necessity, of the purposes of power and the justice of means, has always been a central theme in European history. The ministry of Cardinal Richelieu is a focal point for the problem because it existed during a time when the continuing strength of religiously based political ideas and the growth of the modern state converged. In this major study William F. Church examines Richelieu's policies, his efforts to justify them, and the extensive debates they occasioned. His conclusion, contrary to that of many earlier historians, is that the underlying ideology of the Cardinal's policies was strongly religious and opened the way to secularized reason of state to a very limited degree.

Download or read book Les Acad mies dans l Europe humaniste written by Marc Deramaix and published by Librairie Droz. This book was released on 2008 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Héritières de l'Académie de Platon et de la réflexion de Pétrarque sur le loisir lettré, cénacles d'érudits et d'artistes sous la protection de puissants mécènes, les premières académies italiennes et françaises constituent l'un des cadres privilégiés du renouveau philologique, artistique, philosophique et scientifique qui va transfigurer l'Europe de la Renaissance. Les Académies dans l'Europe humaniste forment le premier ouvrage d'une telle envergure sur le sujet ; il pose un regard neuf sur le mouvement académique en Europe jusque vers 1600, notamment les premières académies italiennes (académie romaine de Pomponio Leto, académie napolitaine du Panhormite, puis de Pontano, académie florentine de Careggi, avec Marsile Ficin), les Académies royales françaises du règne des Valois (Académie de Poésie et de Musique, Académie du Palais) sans oublier d'autres organisations contemporaines moins connues. Des recherches documentaires présentent le personnel des divers groupes et les œuvres où s'expriment leurs idéaux. L'observation des rapports qu'elles entretiennent permet de définir la forme et les activités de chaque institution ainsi que la nature de leur contribution à l'extension des savoirs : enrichissement de la philologie classique, de la poétique, de la rhétorique, constitution de dictionnaires ou de répertoires linguistiques, archéologiques ou iconographiques, réflexion sur les arts à la lumière des traditions chrétienne ou néo-platonicienne, ambitions pédagogiques ; se dégage aussi le rôle majeur de la musique dans plusieurs académies. L'étude des liens matériels et idéologiques entre ces sociétés et les Grands (papes, rois, mécènes) donne enfin de mesurer la « liberté » dont jouissent les académies, particulièrement dans leur vocation encyclopédique et européenne.

Download or read book Luxury Arts of the Renaissance written by Marina Belozerskaya and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2005-10-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we associate the Renaissance with painting, sculpture, and architecture—the “major” arts. Yet contemporaries often held the “minor” arts—gem-studded goldwork, richly embellished armor, splendid tapestries and embroideries, music, and ephemeral multi-media spectacles—in much higher esteem. Isabella d’Este, Marchesa of Mantua, was typical of the Italian nobility: she bequeathed to her children precious stone vases mounted in gold, engraved gems, ivories, and antique bronzes and marbles; her favorite ladies-in-waiting, by contrast, received mere paintings. Renaissance patrons and observers extolled finely wrought luxury artifacts for their exquisite craftsmanship and the symbolic capital of their components; paintings and sculptures in modest materials, although discussed by some literati, were of lesser consequence. This book endeavors to return to the mainstream material long marginalized as a result of historical and ideological biases of the intervening centuries. The author analyzes how luxury arts went from being lofty markers of ascendancy and discernment in the Renaissance to being dismissed as “decorative” or “minor” arts—extravagant trinkets of the rich unworthy of the status of Art. Then, by re-examining the objects themselves and their uses in their day, she shows how sumptuous creations constructed the world and taste of Renaissance women and men.
