Malgré une prospérité remarquable au Moyen Âge, Douai conserve peu de vestiges architecturaux de cette période, en dehors du beffroi et de quelques portions des fortifications, et il ne subsiste rien des constructions privées. Le dynamisme et la précocité de la recherche archéologique à Douai ont permis, à l’occasion de quelques chantiers menés en centre ville, de reconnaître l’emplacement de certaines d’entre elles mais surtout de révéler l’existence de vastes caves encore conservées dans les sous-sols de la ville. La nécessité d’un recensement global s’est donc imposée, étendu à l’ensemble de la paroisse Saint-Pierre qui reprend le noyau médiéval de la ville. Ce sont près de 50 caves anciennes, maçonnées en grès d’extraction locale, très souvent extrêmement bien conservées et parfois sur deux niveaux, qui ont été recensées au cours de cette étude. Leur analyse détaillée permet non seulement de mieux connaître les techniques de construction en milieu urbain au Moyen Âge, mais offre aussi un catalogue typologique de premier ordre par la variété, l’élégance et la longévité des architectures mises en œuvre et des supports utilisés, pour les plus vastes d’entre elles. Locaux de commerce, spécifiquement tournés vers le stockage et la conservation du vin, leur position dans le parcellaire autorise la reconstitution de grands domaines médiévaux, de certaines portions de la voirie, et permet d’échafauder des hypothèses intéressantes sur l’existence de bâtiments civils aujourd’hui disparus. C’est donc un patrimoine de premier ordre, le plus ancien de la ville, qui est conservé sous nos pieds, livre ouvert sur le Moyen Âge urbain qui ne demande qu’à être feuilleté.

A captivating historical look at the cultural and artistic significance of shells in early modern EuropeAmong nature's most artful creations, shells have long inspired the curiosity and passion of artisans, artists, collectors, and thinkers. Conchophilia delves into the intimate relationship between shells and people, offering an unprecedented account of the early modern era when the influx of exotic shells to Europe fueled their study and representation as never before. From elaborate nautilus cups and shell-encrusted grottoes to delicate miniatures, this richly illustrated book reveals how the love of shells intersected not only with the rise of natural history and global trade but also with philosophical inquiry, issues of race and gender, and the ascent of art-historical connoisseurship.Shells circulated at the nexus of commerce and intellectual pursuit, suggesting new ways of thinking about relationships between Europe and the rest of the world. The authors focus on northern Europe, where the interest and trade in shells had its greatest impact on the visual arts. They consider how shells were perceived as exotic objects, the role of shells in courtly collections, their place in still-life tableaus, and the connections between their forms and those of the human body. They examine how artists gilded, carved, etched, and inked shells to evoke the permeable boundary between art and nature. These interactions with shells shaped the ways that early modern individuals perceived their relation to the natural world, and their endeavors of art and knowledge.Spanning painting and print to architecture and the decorative arts, Conchophilia uncovers the fascinating ways that shells were circulated, depicted, collected, and valued, during a time of remarkable global change.
