Abstract

Making Copies in European Art 1400-1600, edited by Maddalena Bellavitis, consists of 16 essays that explore the form and function, manner and meaning of copies after Renaissance works of art. The authors construe copying as a method of exchange based in the theory and practice of imitation, and they investigate the artistic techniques that enabled and facilitated the production of copies. They also ask what patrons and collectors wanted from a copy, which characteristics of an artwork were considered copyable, and where and how copies were stored, studied, displayed, and circulated. Making Copies in European Art, in addition to studying many unfamiliar pictures, incorporates previously unpublished documentary materials.

Abstract

David Areford offers a synthetic historical narrative of early prints that stresses their unusual material nature, as well as their accessibility to a variety of viewers, both lay and monastic. This volume represents a shift in the study of the early printed image, one that mirrors the widespread movement in art history away from issues of production, style, and the artist toward issues of reception, function, and the viewer. Areford's approach is intensely grounded in the object, especially the unacknowledged material complexity of the print as a portable, malleable, and accessible image that depended on a response that was not only visual but often physical, emotional, and psychological. Recognizing that early prints were not primarily designed for aesthetic appreciation, the author analyzes how their meanings stemmed from specific functions involving private devotion, protection, indulgences, the cult of saints, pilgrimage, exorcism, the art of memory, and anti-Semitic propaganda.

Abstract

Love play or playing dead, wordplay or playing games - the notion of play inhabits all spheres of human activity. This collection of essays brings together international scholars from a range of disciplines to explore aspects of playfulness in the later European Middle Ages. From manuscript to performance and from the domestic to the doctrinal, the exuberance and ambiguity of verbal and visual play is interrogated in order to decode layers of meaning in texts and artefacts. These twelve papers celebrate the work of Elaine C. Block, whose dedicated study of misericords has, through countless articles and books, made the riches of this dizzying iconographic resource easily available to scholars for the first time. Her monumental Corpus on Medieval Misericords volumes will no doubt inform medieval scholars for generations to come, and those included in the present collection are both proud and grateful to be of the first generation to benefit from her work on this body of carvings which challengingly - and playfully - straddles thesometimes invisible line between the sacred and profane.

Abstract

Engaging with current academic debates over the complexities and pluralities of gender identity in the Middle Ages, this volume is one of the first collections to show how the themes of gender construction, subversion and transformation are applicable to a wide range of fields. The methodologies used in this volume are relevant both to specialists of the Middle Ages and early modern periods, and to scholars working more broadly in fields that draw on contemporary gender studies.

Abstract

Entre dévotions privées et mémoire dynastique, la question du mécénat et du patronage religieux des femmes de pouvoir permet d'aborder l'histoire de leur spiritualité, mais s'inscrit aussi dans une histoire plus politique du pouvoir, et de son partage entre les sexes. Majoritairement écartées de la Couronne et du pouvoir réel au bas Moyen Âge, les reines se sont-elles distinguées par un investissement plus grand dans le domaine du sacré ? Dans l'association délibérée d'un couple, le monarque incarnait-il davantage l'auctoritas et son épouse la caritas ? Loin de l'histoire engagée du genre, il faut concevoir le pouvoir en termes de complémentarité. Il est néanmoins nécessaire de s'interroger sur la (ou les) spécificités du patronage féminin ; en d'autres termes, existe-t-il des domaines spécifiquement féminins d'appropriation ou d'incarnation du sacré ? C'est sous cet angle d'analyse, à la confluence du politique et du religieux, qu'est abordé l'ensemble des reines-consorts des royaumes européens (France, Italie, Espagne, Pays-Bas) dont les parcours sont examinés sur un temps long, du xive au xviie siècle, dans une perspective comparatiste. Toutes les formes d'interventions religieuses sont ici évoquées par les meilleurs spécialistes internationaux de l'histoire politique et artistique du Moyen Âge et de l'époque moderne : fondations d'églises, de couvents et d'hôpitaux, legs pieux et charitables, patronages et collections d'ouvrages religieux, mais aussi commandes architecturales ou artistiques.
