Abstract

The contributions to this volume were written by historians, legal historians and art historians, each using his or her own methods and sources, but all concentrating on topics from the broad subject of historical legal iconography. How have the concepts of law and justice been represented in (public) art from the Late Middle Ages onwards? Justices and rulers had their courtrooms, but also churches, decorated with inspiring images. At first, the religious influence was enormous, but starting with the Early Modern Era, new symbols and allegories began appearing. Throughout history, art has been used to legitimise the act of judging, but artists have also satirised the law and the lawyers; architects and artisans have engaged in juridical and judicial projects and, in some criminal cases, convicts have even been sentenced to produce works of art. The book illustrates and contextualises the various interactions between law and justice on the one hand, and their artistic representations in paintings, statues, drawings, tapestries, prints and books on the other.

Abstract

This book examines how the nation – and its (fundamental) law – are ‘sensed’ by way of various aesthetic forms from the age of revolution up until our age of contested democratic legitimacy. Contemporary democratic legitimacy is tied, among other things, to consent, to representation, to the identity of ruler and ruled, and, of course, to legality and the legal forms through which democracy is structured. This book expands the ways in which we can understand and appreciate democratic legitimacy. If (democratic) communities are “imagined” this book suggests that their “rightfulness” must be “sensed” – analogously to the need for justice not only to be done, but to be seen to be done. This book brings together legal, historical and philosophical perspectives on the representation and iconography of the nation in the European, North American and Australian contexts from contributors in law, political science, history, art history and philosophy. .

Abstract

De veelzijdige Anna Boch (1848-1936) was niet alleen een getalenteerde kunstenaar maar ook een goed geïnformeerde verzamelaar, een groot mecenas en een enthousiaste reiziger die van muziek en architectuur hield. Als enige vrouw was ze lid van de prominente kunstenaarsverenigingen Les XX en La Libre Esthétique en werd ze door haar collega's op gelijke voet behandeld. Geïnspireerd door geestesgenoten als Théo van Rysselberghe, Paul Signac en Georges Seurat legde Anna Boch zich toe op een persoonlijke variant van het neo-impressionisme.

Anna Bochs heldere schilderijen illustreren haar zoektocht naar lijn en kleur. Haar passie voor de natuur bracht haar naar afgelegen plaatsen en deed haar dromen van de schoonheid van bucolische landschappen die ze wilde doorgronden. Ze hield van de zee en wist het licht en de reflectie ervan op de kust op de een weergaloze manier te vangen en om te zetten in intrigerende maar bovenal tijdloze composities. Dit boek presenteert haar oeuvre in meer dan 100 werken en plaatst Anna Boch resoluut in de kunstgeschiedenis van de negentiende en de twintigste eeuw.
