Contemporary biographies of Galilei emphasize, in several places, that he was a masterful draughtsman. In fact, Galilei studied at the art academy, which is where his friendship with Ludovico Cigoli developed, who later became the official court artist. The book focuses on this formative effect – it tracks Galilei’s trust in the epistemological strength of drawings. It also looks at Galilei’s activities in the world of art and his reflections on art theory, ending with an appreciation of his fame; after all, he was revered as a rebirth of Michelangelo. For the first time, this publication collects all aspects of the appreciation of Galilei as an artist, contemplating his art not only as another facet of his activities, but as an essential element of his research.

Horst Bredekamp's subject is the astute deployment and perennial resonance of the startling image of the body politic that dominates the frontispiece to Leviathan: a treatise on the psychology of the individual and the dynamic of the multitude, published in 1651 by the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes. Affirming the centrality of such a figural device for this pioneering theorist of the state, Bredekamp goes on to address the art-historical dimension of the mesmerising etched title-page. In his central chapters he explores the extraordinary range of sources - from socio-cultural tradition to scientific advances - on which the author and his artist-collaborator may have drawn. In conclusion, he reveals Hobbes to be no less passionate than shrewd in his belief that the constraints and amenities of a tolerable life in common attest to the potency of the visual. As appendices, two essays and catalogues explore the portraits made of Hobbes as well as illustrations that appeared in his other works, thus systematically completing the exploration of the images connected with this exceptional philosopher.

Conférence prononcée le 3 octobre 2011 au Grand Amphithéâtre de l'Université Lumière Lyon-II, dans le cadre du cycle "L'Amphi des arts" engagé en partenariat avec le Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon. Par la forme de ses plantes, son plan de circulation, ses jets d'eau et ses sculptures, et par ses dimensions, le jardin de Herrenhausen appartient aux ensembles les plus importants de l'histoire des jardins. Et s'il est un parfait exemple du jardin géométrique, il permet aussi de repenser l'opposition traditionnelle entre le jardin paysager anglais et le jardin à la française. La clé de cette interprétation est Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Observant que toute nature possède une forme individuelle, Leibniz envisage la diversité des formes comme l'instantané d'un monde en mouvement. Dès lors, c'est dans le détail que se déploie une diversité dont l'effet est d'autant plus vigoureux qu'elle est limitée par des lignes droites, et c'est dans le continuum de la variation que réside la régularité de l'espace géométrique.
