        Representations of Renaissance monarchy

        Francis I and the image-makers

        by Lisa Mansfield

        Representations of Renaissance monarchy analyses the portraits and personal imagery of Francis I, one of the most frequently portrayed rulers of sixteenth-century Europe. The distinctive likeness of the Valois king was widely disseminated and perceived by his French subjects, and Tudor and Habsburg rivals abroad. Complementing studies on the representation of Henry VIII, this book makes a dynamic contribution to scholarship on the enterprise of royal image-making in early-modern Europe. The discussion not only highlights the inventiveness of the visual arts in Renaissance France but also alludes to the enduring politics of physical appearance and seductive power of the face and body in modern visual culture. Coinciding with the five hundredth anniversary of Francis I's accession, this book will appeal to scholars and students of medieval and Renaissance art, the history of portraiture or anyone interested in images of monarchy and the history of France. ;

        Local antiquities, local identities

        Art, literature and antiquarianism in Europe, c. 1400–1700

        by Francesco Benelli, Kathleen Christian, Bianca de Divitiis, Krista de Jonge, João R. Figueiredo, Oren J. Margolis, Fernando Marías, Katrina Olds, Konrad Ottenheym, Richard Schofield, William Stenhouse, Edward H. Wouk, Barbara Arciszewska, Jenna M. Schultz

        This collection investigates the wide array of local antiquarian practices that developed across Europe in the early modern era. Breaking new ground, it explores local concepts of antiquity in a period that has been defined as a uniform 'Renaissance'. Contributors take a novel approach to the revival of the antique in different parts of Italy, as well as examining other, less widely studied antiquarian traditions in France, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Britain and Poland. They consider how real or fictive ruins, inscriptions and literary works were used to demonstrate a particular idea of local origins, to rewrite history or to vaunt civic pride. In doing so, they tackle such varied subjects as municipal antiquities collections in Southern Italy and France, the antiquarian response to the pagan, Christian and Islamic past on the Iberian Peninsula, and Netherlandish interest in megalithic ruins thought to be traces of a prehistoric race of Giants.

        Marcantonio Raimondi, Raphael and the image multiplied

        by Edward H. Wouk, Leslie A. Geddes, Jun Nakamura, Lisa Pon, David Morris, Edward H. Wouk, Henri Zerner, Tatiana Bissolati, Guido Rebecchini, Kathleen Christian, Paul Joannides, Bryony Bartlett-Rawlings, Beverly Louise Brown, Patricia Emison, Catherine Jenkins, Madeleine Viljoen, Sarah Vowles, Jamie Gabbarelli, Peter Black, Barbara Furlotti, Steven Milner, Jenny Spinks, Rheagan E. Martin, Sophie Gordon Cumming, Imogen Harley, Jemima Rose, Heather Garner, Max Weaver, Albert Lindsell, Peter Hayes, Monique Nievas, Holly Smallbone, James Wildgoose

        Best known for his partnership with Raphael, the engraver Marcantonio Raimondi (c. 1480-c. 1534) enabled Renaissance artists to disseminate their designs in print, advancing a revolution in visual communication that still reverberates in our own information age. Yet Marcantonio did more than render compositions by famous artists in the novel medium of engraving. The entries and essays in this catalogue, written by a group of international scholars and published to accompany the first exhibition of Marcantonio's work in over three decades, reveal the diversity of Marcantonio's oeuvre and the scope of his innovation as the leading printmaker of the Italian Renaissance. In-depth studies of Marcantonio's engravings expand our knowledge of his collaboration with Raphael, while also probing Marcantonio's creative response to the dynamic humanist culture in his native Bologna and later in Venice and Rome. Contributions also examine engravings by Marcantonio's 'followers' and consider the importance of his work to the history of print collecting.

        The iconography of Elizabeth I

        by Annaliese Connolly, Lisa Hopkins

        The visual images of Queen Elizabeth I displayed in contemporary portraits and perpetuated and developed in more recent media, such as film and television, make her one of the most familiar and popular of all British monarchs. This collection of essays examines the diversity of the queen's extensive iconographical repertoire, focusing on both visual and textual representations of Elizabeth, not only in portraiture and literature, but also in contemporary sermons, speeches and alchemical treatises. The collection broadens current critical thinking about Elizabeth, as each of the essays contributes to the debate about the ways in which the queen's developing iconicity was not simply a celebratory mode, but also encoded criticism of her. Each of these essays explains the ways in which the varied representations of Elizabeth reflect the political and cultural anxieties of her subjects

        Albrecht Dürer’s material world

        by Edward H. Wouk, Jennifer Spinks

        The painter and printmaker Albrecht Dürer is one of the most important figures of the German Renaissance. This book accompanies the first major exhibition of the Whitworth art gallery's outstanding Dürer collection in over half a century. It offers a new perspective on Dürer as an intense observer of the worlds of manufacture, design and trade that fill his graphic art. Artworks and artefacts examined here expose understudied aspects of Dürer's art and practice, including his attentive examination of objects of daily domestic use, his involvement in economies of local manufacture and exchange, the microarchitectures of local craft and, finally, his attention to cultures of natural and philosophical inquiry and learning.

        Transcultural things and the spectre of Orientalism in early modern Poland-Lithuania

        by Tomasz Grusiecki

        Transcultural things examines four sets of artefacts from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth: maps pointing to Poland-Lithuania's roots in the supposedly 'Oriental' land of Sarmatia, portrayals of fashions that purport to trace Polish culture back to a distant and revered past, Ottomanesque costumes worn by Polish ambassadors and carpets labelled as Polish despite their foreign provenance. These examples of invented tradition borrowed from abroad played a significant role in narrating and visualising the cultural landscape of Polish-Lithuanian elites. But while modern scholarship defines these objects as exemplars of national heritage, early modern beholders treated them with more flexibility, seeing no contradiction in framing material things as local cultural forms while simultaneously acknowledging their foreign derivation.

        The Livre de la Chasse (Book of the Hunt) was written by Gaston Fébus, count of Foix and expert huntsman. For many years this treatise was famous for both the quality of its hunting lessons and its extraordinary illuminations: a masterpiece of early-fifteenth-century manuscript production in Paris, and one of the very few educational books to be illustrated as lavishly as a Bible. Besides the lessons it contains, this treatise also presents hunting as a redeeming exercise enabling hunters to go straight to Heaven by endowing them with an upright body and mind. The different renowned artists who worked on this manuscript placed their art at the service of Gaston Fébus’s desire to teach, thereby setting out not merely a lesson of hunting but a lesson of life     CONTENTS:   From the editor to the reader Manuel Moleiro   Foreword Claude d’Anthenaise (Director of the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature)   Gaston Fébus.

        Emotions, Passions, and Power in Renaissance Italy

        by Edited by Fabrizio Ricciardelli and Andrea Zorzi

        The physical and mental capacity of having emotions is universal. The methods through which these emotions are perceived, expressed, and shared are always depending by the codified rules imposed by the society and the personal background. Emotions depend on language, cultural practices, expectations, and moral beliefs. This means that every culture has its rules for feelings and behavior; every culture thus exerts certain restraints while favoring certain forms of expressivity. Hate, fear, cruelty, and love are always turning history into the history of passion and lust, because emotional life is always ready to overflow intellectual life.   This fascinating study of emotion in Renaissance Italy shows that emotions are built and created by the society in which they are expressed and conditioned. The contributors examine, among others, the emotional language of the court, around public execution, religious practices and during outbreaks of disease.

        Italian Renaissance Courts

        Art, Pleasure and Power

        by Alison Cole

        In this authoritative study, Alison Cole explores the distinctive uses of art at the five great secular courts of Naples, Urbino, Ferrara, Mantua and Milan. The princes who ruled these city-states, vying with each other and with the great European courts, relied on artistic patronage to promote their legitimacy and authority. Major artists and architects, from Mantegna and Pisanello to Bramante and Leonardo da Vinci, were commissioned to design, paint and sculpt, but also to oversee the court’s building projects and entertainments. Bronze medallions, illuminated manuscripts and rich tapestries, inspired by sources as varied as Roman coins, Byzantine ivories and French chivalric romances, were treasured and traded. Palaces were decorated, extravagant public spectacles were staged and whole cities were redesigned, to bring honour, but also solace and pleasure. The ‘courtly’ styles that emerged from this intricate landscape are examined in detail, as are the complex motivations of ruling lords, consorts, nobles and their artists. Drawing on the most recent scholarship, Cole presents a vivid picture of the art of this extraordinary period.
