Eléonore d'Autriche, sœur aînée de Charles Quint, reine de Portugal et de France, reste une des princesses méconnues de l'histoire du XVIe siècle. De son vivant, aussi bien qu'après sa mort, cette reine toute dévouée à sa haute mission, ne fut point traitée suivant ses mérites. Bien que Charles Quint lui témoignât la plus vive affection, il la sacrifia, sans scrupules, à ses desseins politiques. Quant à ses époux, le premier, le vieux roi de Portugal, n'eut guère le temps de l'apprécier, et le second, François ler, ne lui pardonna jamais d'être la rançon des défaites françaises. Aussi put-elle remplir le grand rôle de pacificatrice qu'elle assuma, de tout son cœur, pendant les longues guerres entre Charles Quint et François 1er. Nous avons essayé de montrer, avec quelle persévérance pleine de douceur et d'habileté, elle s'efforça de susciter des entrevues pacifiques où pourrait s'élaborer la réconciliation définitive. Car elle ne se contenta point de figurer dans les articles des traités, elle voulut contribuer activement à l'œuvre auguste de la paix. Comme l'écrivait Brantôme « elle servit d'un sceau très ferme pour asseurer une paix et un repos public... » Cette vie est environnée de toute la gloire des plus brillantes cours de l'époque, et se déroule parmi les splendeurs de la Renaissance dont témoignent les fêtes officielles que nous avons décrites. Faut-il dire que tous les épisodes, même les plus romanesques de cette vie mélancolique et brillante, sont uniquement basés sur des documents authentiques. Ainsi, à la lumière de la vérité historique, nous espérons avoir rendu justice à cette femme aimante, à cette reine méconnue que les peuples contemporains, lassés du fléau de la guerre, avaient saluée du plus beau des titres : " Dame de la Paix, fille du Dieu vivant ". À PROPOS DE L'AUTEURE Ghislaine De Boom fut docteur en philosophie et lettres de l'université libre de Bruxelles. Elle fut la première femme lauréate du Concours universitaire. Elle dirigea la section des Manuscrits, prestigieuse héritière de la célèbre " librairie " des ducs de Bourgogne. Elle s'attacha à approfondir l'étude du destin des princesses de la famille de Habsbourg. Elle est l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages dont Marguerite d'Autriche-Savoie et la Pré-Renaissance, élogieusement préfacée par Henri Pirenne. Dans la présente biographie d'Eléonore, Ghislaine De Boom raconte avec la rigueur qui sied, mais non sans une émotion, révélée par le style, les déceptions politiques et les désillusions intimes d'une des femmes les plus injustement méconnues de l'histoire du XVIe siècle. Nul doute qu'Eléonore enchantera de nombreux lecteurs qui découvriront, à la fois une princesse oubliée, et la grande historienne que fut Ghislaine De Boom.

In this lively and pathbreaking book, William Monter sketches Europe's increasing acceptance of autonomous female rulers between the late Middle Ages and the French Revolution. Monter surveys the governmental records of Europe's thirty women monarchs—the famous (Mary Stuart, Elizabeth I, Catherine the Great) as well as the obscure (Charlotte of Cyprus, Isabel Clara Eugenia of the Netherlands)—describing how each of them achieved sovereign authority, wielded it, and (more often than men) abandoned it. Monter argues that Europe's female kings, who ruled by divine right, experienced no significant political opposition despite their gender.

The essays in this volume consider three aspects of queenship and politics: the institutional foundations and practice of politics, the politics of religion and religious devotion, and the literary and artistic representations of queenship and power.

While earlier historians have seen the elaborate public rituals of the Burgundian dukes as stagnant forms held over from the chivalric world of the High Middle Ages, Peter Arnade argues that they were a vital theater of power through which the ducal court and the urban centers constantly renegotiated their relationship. This book is the first to apply the combined insights of social, political, and cultural history to an important but little-explored area of medieval and early modern Europe, the Burgundian Netherlands. Realms of Ritual traces the role of ritual in encounters between the dukes of Burgundy (later the Habsburg princes) and the townspeople of Ghent, the most important city in the county of Flanders. Arnade analyzes city-state ceremonies through which Ghent's aldermen, patricians, guildsmen, and the city's military and drama confraternities confronted local power and the growth of the Burgundian state. In the first serious reappraisal of Johan Huizinga's classic work The Waning of the Middle Ages, Arnade confirms Huizinga's vision of a Low Country society rich in public symbols, yet reveals the city-state conflict within which such ritual thrived. He offers a dramatically new perspective on the Northern Renaissance, as well as a historical/anthropological model for the study of urban-state relations.

The fall of the Byzantine capital of Constantinople to the Latin West in 1204 during the Fourth Crusade abruptly interrupted nearly nine hundred years of artistic and cultural traditions. In 1261, however, the Byzantine general Michael VIII Palaiologos triumphantly re-entered Constantinople and reclaimed the seat of the empire, initiating a resurgence of art and culture that would continue for nearly three hundred years, not only in the waning empire itself but also among rival Eastern Christian nations eager to assume its legacy. Byzantium: Faith and Power (1261–1557), and the groundbreaking exhibition that it accompanies, explores the artistic and cultural flowering of the last centuries of the "Empire of the Romans" and its enduring heritage. Conceived as the third of a trio of exhibitions dedicated to a fuller understanding of the art of the Byzantine Empire, whose influence spanned more than a millennium, "Byzantium: Faith and Power (1261–1557)" follows the 1997 landmark presentation of "The Glory of Byzantium," which focused on the art and culture of the Middle Byzantine era—the Second Golden Age of the Byzantine Empire (843–1261). In the late 1970s, "The Age of Spirituality" explored the early centuries of Byzantium's history. The present concluding segment explores the exceptional artistic accomplishments of an era too often considered in terms of political decline. Magnificent works—from splendid frescoes, textiles, gilded metalwork, and mosaics to elaborately decorated manuscripts and liturgical objects—testify to the artistic and intellectual vigor of the Late and Post-Byzantine era. In addition, forty magnificent icons from the Holy Monastery of Saint Catherine, Sinai, Egypt, join others from leading international institutions in a splendid gathering of these powerful religious images. While the political strength of the empire weakened, the creativity and learning of Byzantium spread father than ever before. The exceptional works of secular and religious art produced by Late Byzantine artists were emulated and transformed by other Eastern Christian centers of power, among them Russia, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Cilician Armenia. The Islamic world adapted motifs drawn from Byzantium's imperial past, as Christian minorities in the Muslin East continued Byzantine customs. From Italy to the Lowlands, Byzantium's artistic and intellectual practices deeply influenced the development of the Renaissance, while, in turn, Byzantium's own traditions reflected the empire's connections with the Latin West. Fine examples of these interrelationships are illustrated by important panel paintings, ceramics, and illuminated manuscripts, among other objects. In 1557 the "Empire of the Romans," as its citizens knew it, which had fallen to the Ottoman Turks in 1453, was renamed Byzantium by the German scholar Hieronymus Wolf. The cultural and historical interaction and mutual influence of these major cultures—the Latin West and the Christian and Islamic East—during this fascinating period are investigated in this publication by a renowned group of international scholars in seventeen major essays and catalogue discussions of more than 350 exhibited objects.

Since Paul Coreman's ground-breaking 'L'Agneau mystique au laboratoire' in 1953, the 'Ghent Altarpiece', masterwork of the Van Eyck brothers, has been a major focus of research at the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA, Brussels). Some sixty years later, in the wake of a new conservation campaign in which KIK-IRPA is again playing the leading role, the art of Hubert and Jan van Eyck took centre stage at the Symposium XVIII for the Study of Underdrawing and Technology in Painting (Brussels, 19-21 September 2012). The event was organised by the KIK-IRPA and the Centre for the Study of the Flemish Primitives in collaboration with the Laboratoire d'étude des œuvres d'art par des méthodes scientifiques (Université catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve), and Illuminare - Centre for the Study of Medieval Art (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven). This book captures the variety of thirty-seven papers presented at the symposium and provides state-of-the-art knowledge on one of the most significant painters of all time. It should be read in conjunction with the widely acclaimed website "Closer to Van Eyck", which offers the scientific imagery of the 'Ghent Altarpiece' in glorious high resolution.
