Abstract

Almost Eternal: Painting on Stone and Material Innovation in Early Modern Europe' gathers together an international group of ten scholars, who offer a novel account of the phenomenon of oil painting on stone surfaces in Northern and Southern Europe. This technique was devised in Rome by Sebastiano del Piombo in the early sixteenth century and was practiced until the late seventeenth century. This phenomenon has attracted little attention previously: the volume therefore makes a significant and timely contribution to the field in the light of recent studies of materiality and the rise of technical Art History.

Abstract

"Late medieval and early modern cities are often depicted as cradles of artistic creativity and hotbeds of new material culture. Cities in renaissance Italy and in seventeenth and eighteenth-century northwestern Europe are the most obvious cases in point. But, how did this come about? Why did cities rather than rural environments produce new artistic genres, new products and new techniques? How did pre-industrial cities evolve into centres of innovation and creativity? As the most urbanized regions of continental Europe in this period, Italy and the Low Countries provide a rich source of case studies, as the contributors to this volume demonstrate. They set out to examine the relationship between institutional arrangements and regulatory mechanisms such as citizenship and guild rules and innovation and creativity in late medieval and early modern cities. They analyze whether, in what context and why regulation or deregulation influenced innovation and creativity, and what the impact was of long-term changes in the political and economic sphere"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Présentation de l'ouvrage : "Pour la première fois, les collections d'artistes et d'artisans anversois font l'objet d'une étude systématique, ce qui permet d'obtenir de nouveaux résultats sur le lien entre création et collection : entre l'innovation et l'appréciation. Le rôle crucial de la ville d'Anvers dans l'histoire de la collection a longtemps été noté dans les études historiques et d'histoire de l'art. Cependant, jusqu'à présent, il n'y a pas eu d'étude fondamentale des pratiques de collection de groupes sociaux plus larges dans l'Anvers du XVIIe siècle. La présente étude comble ce manque de recherche en se concentrant sur les activités de collection des artistes et artisans érudits, les groupes sociaux qui, avec les marchands érudits, étaient au centre de la vie culturelle de la ville et l'ont façonnée. Dans leur double rôle de fabricants et de collectionneurs, ils ont fortement marqué la culture de la collection." (traduit de l'anglais)--éd.
