Abstract

Niet Willem van Oranje, maar Maurits en Frederik Hendrik zijn als de bekendste militairen uit de Tachtigjarige Oorlog tevoorschijn gekomen. Beide zonen van de prins zouden echter pas na decennia van het begin van dit conflict, en het lange voortraject daarvan, een rol gaan spelen. De naam van Willem van Oranje is uiteraard ook onlosmakelijk verbonden met genoemde oorlog, waaraan hij de eretitel 'vader des vaderlands' heeft overgehouden, maar wat is hiervan precies de betekenis? Zo zou Willem volgens velen geen goed veldheer zijn geweest en wordt zelfs beweerd dat hij niet eens militair was. Dit terwijl vaststaat dat hij juist, volgens de traditie voor iemand van zijn afkomst, vooral tot militair werd opgeleid en al op jonge leeftijd veel oorlogservaring opdeed. Ook legde hij al vanaf zijn jeugd belangrijke internationale contacten en deed hij diplomatieke ervaring op, minstens zo belangrijk gezien zijn dubbelrol als militair-staatsman. In dit boek staan de opleiding en praktijkervaring van Willem van Oranje centraal, die hij opdeed in de jaren 1544-1559, en het mede mogelijk maakten dat hij, samen met zijn drie broers, en vooral Lodewijk van Nassau, een oorlog kon beginnen, bijna twintig jaar wist stand te houden, en de basis legde voor de verdere strijd door zijn kinderen. Willem. De jonge prins van Oranje als edelman en militair verschijnt ter gelegenheid van de tentoonstelling 'Willem' in het Nationaal Militair Museum in Soesterberg, van 25 april tot en met 28 oktober 2018. Voor deze grote internationale tentoonstelling over Willem van Oranje en in het bijzonder diens jonge jaren, is een grote hoeveelheid objecten bij elkaar gebracht waarvan vele nooit eerder voor het publiek te zien zijn geweest. Van het grote aantal objecten uit het buitenland zijn de meeste zelfs nooit eerder in Nederland geweest. Al deze bijzondere stukken zijn in dit boek beschreven en afgebeeld.

Abstract

"The color red has represented many things, from the life force and the divine to love, lust, and anger. Up through the Middle Ages, red held a place of privilege in the Western world. For many cultures, red was not just one color of many but rather the only color worthy enough to be used for social purposes--in some languages, the word for red was the same as the word for color. The first color developed for painting and dying, red became associated in antiquity with war, wealth, and power. In the medieval period, red held both religious significance, as the color of the blood of Christ and the fires of Hell, and secular meaning, as a symbol of love, glory, and beauty. Yet during the Protestant Reformation, red began to decline in status. Viewed as indecent and immoral and linked to luxury and the excesses of the Catholic Church, red fell out of favor. After the French Revolution, red gained new respect as the color of progressive movements and radical left-wing politics. In this beautifully illustrated book, Michel Pastoureau, the acclaimed author of Blue, Black, and Green, now masterfully navigates centuries of symbolism and complex meanings to present the fascinating and sometimes controversial history of the color red. Pastoureau illuminates red's evolution through a diverse selection of captivating images, from the cave paintings of Lascaux, the works of Renaissance masters, to modern paintings and stained glass by Mark Rothko and Josef Albers"--Inside front jacket flap.

Abstract

"Illuminated with a wide variety of images, this book traces the long history of yellow around the world. In antiquity, yellow was considered a sacred color, a symbol of light, warmth, wealth, and prosperity. But in medieval Europe, it became highly ambivalent: greenish yellow came to signify demonic sulfur and bile, the color of forgers, felon knights, traitors, Judas, and Lucifer--while warm yellow recalled honey and gold, serving as a sign of joy, pleasure and abundance. The yellow stars of the Holocaust were seared into the color's negative tradition. In Europe today, yellow has diminished to a discreet color. Greenish yellow can still be seen as dangerous, sickly, or poisonous, and golden yellow remains positive, but the color is absent in much of everyday life and is lacking in symbolism. In Asia, however, yellow pigments like ocher and orpiment and dyes like saffron, curcuma, and gaude are abundant. Painting and dyeing in this color has been easier than in Europe, offering a richer and more varied palette of yellows that has granted the color a more positive meaning. In ancient China, for example, yellow clothing was reserved for the emperor. In India, the color is seen as a source of happiness: wearing a little yellow is believed to keep evil away. And importantly, it is the color of Buddhism, whose temple doors are marked with the color. Yellow continues to have different meanings in different cultural traditions, but in most, the color remains associated with light and sun, something that can be seen from afar and that seems warm and always in motion"--

Abstract

"In this beautiful and richly illustrated book, the acclaimed author of Blue and Black presents a fascinating and revealing history of the color green in European societies from prehistoric times to today. Examining the evolving place of green in art, clothes, literature, religion, science, and everyday life, Michel Pastoureau traces how culture has profoundly changed the perception and meaning of the color over millennia--and how we misread cultural, social, and art history when we assume that colors have always signified what they do today. Filled with entertaining and enlightening anecdotes, Green shows that the color has been ambivalent: a symbol of life, luck, and hope, but also disorder, greed, poison, and the devil. Chemically unstable, green pigments were long difficult to produce and even harder to fix. Not surprisingly, the color has been associated with all that is changeable and fleeting: childhood, love, and money. Only in the Romantic period did green definitively become the color of nature. Pastoureau also explains why the color was connected with the Roman emperor Nero, how it became the color of Islam, why Goethe believed it was the color of the middle class, why some nineteenth-century scholars speculated that the ancient Greeks couldn't see green, and how the color was denigrated by Kandinsky and the Bauhaus. More broadly, Green demonstrates that the history of the color is, to a large degree, one of dramatic reversal: long absent, ignored, or rejected, green today has become a ubiquitous and soothing presence as the symbol of environmental causes and the mission to save the planet. With its striking design and compelling text, Green will delight anyone who is interested in history, culture, art, fashion, media, or design"--Publisher's description.

Abstract

"How the history of a word sheds new light on capitalism and modern politics What exactly is capitalism? How has the meaning of capitalism changed over time? And what's at stake in our understanding or misunderstanding of it? In Capitalism, Michael Sonenscher examines the history behind the concept and pieces together the range of subjects bound up with the word. Sonenscher shows that many of our received ideas fail to pick up the work that the idea of capitalism is doing for us, without us even realizing it. "Capitalism" was first coined in France in the early nineteenth century. It began as a fusion of two distinct sets of ideas. The first involved thinking about public debt and war finance. The second involved thinking about the division of labour. Sonenscher shows that thinking about the first has changed radically over time. Funding welfare has been added to funding warfare, bringing many new questions in its wake. Thinking about the second set of ideas has offered far less room for manoeuvre. The division of labour is still the division of labour and the debates and discussions that it once generated have now been largely forgotten. By exploring what lay behind the earlier distinction before it collapsed and was eroded by the passage of time, Sonenscher shows why the present range of received ideas limits our political options and the types of reform we might wish for."--
