Book excerpt: With many excellent books on medieval stained glass available, the reader of this anthology may well ask: “what is the contribution of this collection?” In this book, we have chosen to step away from national, chronological, and regional models.

Download or read book The S vres Porcelain Manufactory written by Beatrice Pannequin and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tumultuous years of the French Revolution left France’s prestigious decorative arts industries poised on the brink of ruin. It was not until after the fall of the monarchy and the ascendancy of the Consulat and Empire under Napoleon that they began to recover so that by the middle of the nineteenth century they stood at the pinnacle of their achievement. This book is the first in depth study of the renowned porcelain works at Sèvres during its virtual rebirth under the 47 year direction of the scientist, teacher, and administrator Alexandre Brongniart. Some 110 working drawings from the Sèvres Archive are reproduced here for the first time in color. They celebrate the high skill of the artists whose work often documented contemporary events in France. There are table services in the 'Egyptian' and 'Etruscan' taste as well as individual pieces that recall Napoleonic military campaigns. There are also exquisite Neoclassical decorations using motifs such as birds, butterflies, and insects that reflect the century’s early fascination with the natural sciences. The repertoire of nineteenth century eclecticism is evident in the output of Sèvres from the revival of Gothic and renaissance motifs to the outburst of naturalism. Eleven essays by leading authorities assess this dynamic period.
Download or read book Medieval Art Modern Politics written by Brigitte Buettner and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-12-02 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval Art, Modern Politics is an innovative volume of twelve essays by international scholars, prefaced by a comprehensive introduction. It examines the political uses and misuses of medieval images, objects, and the built environment from the 16th to the 20th century. In case studies ranging from Russia to the US and from catacombs, mosques, cathedrals, and feudal castles to museums and textbooks, it demonstrates how the artistic and built legacy has been appropriated in post-medieval times to legitimize varied political agendas, whether royalist, imperial, fascist, or colonial. Entities as diverse as the Roman papacy, the Catholic Church, local arts organizations, private owners of medieval fortresses, or organizers of exhibitions and publishers are examined for the multiple ways they co-opt medieval works of art. Medieval Art, Modern Politics enlarges the history of revivalism and of medievalism by giving it a uniquely political twist, demonstrating the unavoidable (but often ignored) intersection of art history, knowledge, and power.

Download or read book Le vitrail et les trait s du Moyen ge nos jours written by Karine Boulanger and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "De tous temps les artistes ont cherché à transmettre leurs réflexions théoriques et leurs savoir-faire. Les traités en sont la forme la plus aboutie, certainement la plus durable. Si les grands ouvrages de Vitruve, d'Alberti ou de Serlio jalonnent l'histoire des arts, les travaux de moindre portée, manuels pratiques, livres de recettes composent une littérature souvent négligée. Les historiens du vitrail ont entrepris avec succès l'étude de ces ouvrages. En 2006, le XXIIIe colloque international du Corpus Vitrearum a pour la première fois permis de confronter les connaissances, les méthodes et les conclusions des chercheurs. La prise en compte de l'ensemble des ouvrages que l'on peut désigner par le mot 'traité' a permis à elle seule de nombreuses découvertes et en a fait des sources désormais incontournables. Elles se prêtent à des analyses aussi diverses que stimulantes, commentaires historiques et critiques, analyses expérimentales des données techniques etc. Une voie est ainsi ouverte vers une connaissance plus complète du vitrail et vers une évaluation nouvelle de sa place parmi les autres arts."--P. 4 of cover.
