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

Dit boek biedt een unieke reis door de geschiedenis van het stilleven in België in de negentiende en twintigste eeuw, met James Ensor als gids. Het stilleven speelde een belangrijke rol in het werk van de Belgische expressionistische en symbolistische schilder James Ensor (1860-1949). De kwaliteit en betekenis van zijn intrigerende en complexe stillevens wordt duidelijk als ze binnen de ruimere ontwikkeling van het genre in België worden geplaatst, tussen 1830 en 1930. Het stilleven, dat in het begin van de negentiende eeuw verworden was tot een decoratief genre zonder inhoud en artistiek belang, werd artistiek geherwaardeerd in de loop van de negentiende eeuw; door het te monumentaliseren, door het beeld te verlevendigen met poppen en maskers, door exotisme, of door het op te nemen in een interieur. In dat opzicht is het werk van Ensor het inventiefst. Bovendien droeg zijn lange carrière bij tot zijn artistieke invloed op vele kunstenaars vanaf 1880 tot aan het modernisme. Zijn late stillevens – vaak aanpassingen van vroege werken – zijn weinig bekend en intrigerend. Naast een onderzoek van dit belangrijke deel van Ensors werk biedt het boek ook een overzicht van de negentiende-eeuwse Belgische academische traditie van decoratieve schilderkunst, met intrigerend werk van weinig bekende schilders zoals Jean Robie, Hubert Bellis, Frans Mortelmans en Henri De Braekeleer, en vergeten vrouwelijke kunstenaars zoals Berthe Art en Alice Ronner. In de vroege twintigste eeuw ontwikkelden kunstenaars zoals Louis Thevenet het genre van het stilleven verder op de traditionele manier, terwijl vernieuwers zoals de late James Ensor, Léon Spilliaert, Marthe Donas, Walter Vaes en Gustave Van de Woestyne heel persoonlijke interpretaties maakten. De traditie van de stillevens eindigde met kunstenaars zoals Jean Brusselmans en René Magritte, die de picturale ruimte van het ‘theater van de dingen’ deconstrueerden.

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.
