Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henri d'Orléans, duc d'Aumale (1822-1897), fils du roi Louis-Philippe, a été l'un des plus grands bibliophiles de son temps. En 1830, il reçoit en héritage les biens du dernier prince de Bourbon-Condé. Il devient ainsi propriétaire du château de Chantilly et d'une collection de manuscrits dont l'origine remonte aux Montmorency. Exilé en Angleterre à partir de 1848, il se consacre à enrichir ses collections et réunit avec passion, durant la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, un ensemble de livres imprimés et de manuscrits exceptionnels par leurs terres, leurs enluminures et leurs reliures. De retour en France après 1871, il reconstruit le château de Chantilly, y aménage ses galeries de peintures et son Cabinet des livres. En 1886, il lègue le domaine de Chantilly à l'Institut de France, qui ouvre le musée Condé au public après la mort du prince.

Download or read book Jean Fouquet and the Invention of France written by Erik Inglis and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jean Fouquet was France's most important 15th-century artist, painting for the courts of Charles VII and Louis XI. His art synthesized the realistic style of Flemish arts like van Eyck with the monumentality of Florentines like Masaccio. Fouquet's work had a powerful appeal, shaping the next two generations of painters and introducing to the French a taste for Italian art. The first survey of Fouquet's work in English in nearly sixty years, this captivating book offers a major advance in scholarship about the artist and his far-reaching impact. Erik Inglis links Fouquet's style, iconography, and audience to explain how his art helped define French identity, a project of great importance for anxious courtiers in the wake of the Hundred Years War. Jean Fouquet and the Invention of France provides a new lens for looking at the century that saw the greatest changes in French art prior to Impressionism"--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book Beyond Words written by Jeffrey F. Hamburger and published by PIMS. This book was released on 2021-04-05 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 2016 an international scholarly conference accompanied the exhibition Beyond Words: Illuminated Manuscripts in Boston Collections. The speakers were chosen because of their expertise and because they were known to have research underway pertaining to important manuscripts in the exhibition. The aim of both exhibition and conference was to provide a broad overview of the history of patronage and book production over the course of the High and late Middle Ages, to the extent that the eclectic holdings of Boston-area institutions permitted. Most of the papers delivered at the conference have been collected as essays in this abundantly illustrated volume which, while still linked to the exhibition, now has an independent purpose. Just as the essays cover a wide range of topics, all relating to the history of the book, but also, inter alia, to the history of law, liturgy, literature, and libraries as well as to devotion, theology, and art, so too the approaches adopted by the contributors are as varied as the materials they study, ranging from paleography, codicology, and provenance research to painstaking reconstructions of historical patterns of patronage and the interpretative strategies of authors and artists. What results is not simply a wealth of fascinating insights into individual illuminated books, their makers, and their readers, but also an indication of how much remains to be learned about the materials to which the exhibition served as no more than an introduction.
Download or read book The Hours of Simon de Varie written by James H. Marrow and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illustrated by three different painters, the Hours of Simon de Varie was long thought to be irrevocably dismembered. During the 17th century, it was split into three sections, two went to the Royal Library at The Hague, and one was believed lost until it surfaced in a private collection in 1984, and was then acquired by the J. Paul Getty Museum. A special collaboration between these two institutions has reassembled the lost manuscript, enabling the reader to view the book as it was created.
