Abstract

Around 1500, portraiture flourished like never before. In countless European cities major Renaissance artists like Hans Holbein II, Albrecht Dürer, Hans Memling and Antonello da Messina produced lifelike portraits at the highest artistic level. For the first time in history, they not only immortalized kings and noblemen but also, and increasingly, powerful bankers, wealthy merchants and renowned scholars. These paintings, busts, medallions, prints and drawings still bear witness to their power, status, ambitions, friendships and religious convictions. 'Remember Me ' uses international masterpieces and surprising unknowns to tell the personal stories of the people portrayed. How did they want to be remembered? Whether they are lovers, celebrities or believers worshipping saints, the people portrayed implore the onlookers not to forget them.

Abstract

Les portraits de la fin du Moyen Âge diffèrent aussi bien des réalisations antérieures que de celles de la Renaissance. À la fois inscrits dans la tradition religieuse et reflétant une nouvelle vision du monde plus profane, ils se présentent comme des représentations novatrices de l'homme préfigurant les périodes ultérieures.

Abstract

The collection of 85 cast German medals from the first six decades of the 16th century reproduced in this book represents the early period of the German Renaissance. In addition to portraits it contains medals representing biblical scenes and historical events, thus supplying fuller insight into the artists' work. There were a variety of reasons for the triumphal advent of the portrait medal : its permanence gave it clear advantages over wood-cuts and copper engravings reproduced on paper; its three-dimensional quality made it especially impressive; and the durability of the metal ensured that the memory of the figures thus portrayed would endure long after they had left this world.

Abstract

This volume is dedicated to a specific kind of Renaissance publications - to books with portraits of famous people. Illustrium Imagines has become a phrase denoting the very tenet of early modern individualism as well as the phenomenon of the widespread individual popularity acquired through book illustration and prints. The first part of the study deals with major characteristics of portrait books from the very beginnings in the biographies of classical antiquity to their new role as a medium of information, representation and propaganda in the early modern world. The second part of the study consists of a bibliographical list of publications that correspond to criteria of portrait books. The catalogue contains 173 major units, most of them illustrated by one typical portrait.

Abstract

In the words of cultural historian Jacob Burkhardt, fifteenth-century Italy was "the place where the notion of the individual was born." In keeping with that idea, early Renaissance Italy was a key participant in the first great age of portraiture in Europe. As groundbreaking artists strove to evoke the identity or personality of their sitters—from heads of state and church, military commanders, and wealthy patrons to scholars, poets, and artists—they evolved daring new representational strategies that would profoundly influence the course of Western art. More than a mere likeness, the fifteenth-century Italian portrait was an attempt to wrest from the unpredictability of life and the shadow of mortality and image that could be passed down to future generations. The Renaissance Portrait, which accompanies a landmark exhibition at the Bode-Museum, Berlin, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, provides new research and insight into the early history of portraiture in Italy, examining in detail how its major art centers—Florence, the princely courts, and Venice—saw the rapid development of portraiture as closely linked to Renaissance society and politics, ideas of the individual, and concepts of beauty. Essays by leading scholars provide a thorough introduction to Renaissance portraiture, while individual catalogue entries illustrate and extensively discuss more than 160 magnificent examples of painting, drawing, manuscript illumination, sculpture, and medallic portraiture by such artists as Donatello, Filippo Lippi, Botticelli, Verrocchio, Ghirlandaio, Pisanello, Mantegna, Antonello da Messina, and Giovanni Bellini. With abundant style and visual ingenuity, these masters transformed the plain facts of observation into something beautiful to behold.

Abstract

"What I want to relate here, is how one of the most remarkable thinkers of the Renaissance passed on his image for posterity. Erasmus used all the media available to him in a manner that was astonishing and unique for his times: painting, naturally, with the magnificent portraits by Holbein, engravings by Dürer, the art of medallions by Metsys, but also, and this was truly revolutionary, the “new technology” of his era: printing. The humanist constructed his image, in a most brilliant manner, through art and with his printers.&#13;&#13;Ce livre raconte comment l’un des plus fabuleux penseurs de la Renaissance a transmis son portrait à la postérité. D’une façon vraiment surprenante et unique à son époque pour un humaniste, Érasme a utilisé tous les medias à sa disposition ; la peinture naturellement, avec les magnifiques portraits d’Holbein, la gravure avec Dürer, l’art des médailles avec Metsys, mais aussi, ce qui était révolutionnaire, la « nouvelle technologie » de son temps : l’imprimerie. De façon géniale, l’humaniste a composé son image en se servant des artistes et de ses imprimeurs. L'auteur étudie en parallèle les recueils épistolaires et les représentations figurées de l'artiste. L'ouvrage offre en quadrichromie l'intégralité de l'iconographie érasmienne désirée par l'humaniste.&#13;&#13;Dit boek vertelt hoe één van de fabelachtigste renaissancedenkers zijn beeld aan het nageslacht heeft doorgegeven. Op een voor zijn tijd verrassende en unieke manier, gebruikte Erasmus alle middelen die hem ter beschikking stonden: de schilderkunst natuurlijk, met de prachtige portretten van Holbein, de gravure van Dürer, de medaillekunst van Metsys, maar ook, en dit is vrij revolutionair, de “nieuwe technologie” van zijn tijd: de boekdrukkunst. Op een geniale manier heeft de humanist zijn beeld samengesteld, gebruik makend van de artiesten en van zijn drukkers."
