This thoroughly interdisciplinary collection of essays explores the multi-faceted relationship between international politics, diplomacy and the visual arts that developed during the early seventeenth century. Several chapters provide major re-evaluations of the career of Peter Paul Rubens as an artistdiplomat, based on previously neglected manuscript sources and a deepened analysis of the social and political environments in which he operated. Other contributors focus on Rubenss contemporary court artists, such as Anthony van Dyck, Guido Reni and Diego Velázquez. In addition to providing original interpretations of several important paintings and painting cycles, the volume examines such topics as the evolution of personified images of nationality, representations of dynastic marriages, the material culture of royal bridal trousseaus, the importance of details of costume and colour to the visual codes of baroque courts, and the roles played by artists within court societies. Ranging across Western Europe, from England to the Low Countries, France, Germany, Spain and Italy, these essays demonstrate conclusively the subtlety and complexity of visual communication within early baroque court societies, which enabled artists to convey complex political messages through paintings. The contributors to this volume display a variety of methodological approaches, demonstrating many different ways in which historical research can be fruitfully integrated with art historical analysis to generate new insights into both the visual culture and the politics of baroque Europe. -- publisher's statement.

Situated at the intersection of anarchist and democratic theory, Anarchism and Art focuses on four popular art forms—DIY (Do It Yourself) punk music, poetry slam, graffiti and street art, and flash mobs—found in the cracks between dominant political, economic, and cultural institutions and on the margins of mainstream neoliberal society. Mark Mattern interprets these popular art forms in terms of core anarchist values of autonomy, equality, decentralized and horizontal forms of power, and direct action by common people, who refuse the terms offered them by neoliberalism while creating practical alternatives. As exemplars of central anarchist principles and commitments, such forms of popular art, he argues, prefigure deeper forms of democracy than those experienced by most people in today's liberal democracies. That is, they contain hints of future, more democratic possibilities, while modeling in the present the characteristics of those more democratic possibilities. Providing concrete evidence that progressive change is both desirable and possible, they also point the way forward.

Après une longue période de troubles des guerres de religion, le renouveau des arts se manifesta de façon particulièrement éclatante sous le règne d'Henri IV, dans tous les domaines : peinture, sculpture, architecture, mais aussi l'art des jardins, les arts de cour, notamment les ballets et les entrées. Ce fut aussi le cas de l'art du livre, encore trop peu étudié aujourd'hui. Ce livre expose l'ampleur de ce renouveau et en montre les multiples aspects. Afin de cerner les transformations et les nouvelles configurations artistiques de cette période, les pratiques artistiques sont replacées dans leur contexte historique, politique et culturel. L'ouvrage pose les enjeux épistémologiques entre pouvoir (élaboration et diffusion par l'image de la figure du « bon roi », tolérant et unificateur du royaume) et art (art de cour, art sacré, dans une époque de troubles religieux…). Enfin, dans une volonté d'inscrire la production artistique française dans un cadre plus large, ce livre explore les liens qui unissent la France d'Henri IV et de Marie de Médicis aux grands centres artistiques européens (Florence, Nancy, Anvers).
