This volume contains twenty-four essays, which, in their subjects and methodology, pay tribute to the scholarship of Walter S. Melion. The contributions are grouped under three categories: “Devotion,” “Art and Image Theory,” and “Vision and Contemplation.” The Devotion section addresses votive practices, theological theory and polemic literature. The Art and Image Theory section focuses on Jesuit image theory, the reflexive dimension of works, and artists’ reflections on the function of images. Finally, the Vision and Contemplation section discusses the ‘early modern eye’ as a tool for thoughtful, prolonged looking to ascertain visual wit, deception, self-assessment and friendship, sacred and profane allegories.

Winner of the 2023 Roland H. Bainton Prize for Art History Written by the poet-painter Karel van Mander, who finished it in June 1603, the Grondt der edel, vry schilderconst (Foundation of the Noble, Free Art of Painting) was the first systematic treatise on schilderconst (the art of painting / picturing) to be published in Dutch (Haarlem: Paschier van Wes[t]busch, 1604). This English-language edition of the Grondt, accompanied by an introductory monograph and a full critical apparatus, provides unprecedented access to Van Mander’s crucially important art treatise. The book sheds light on key terms and critical categories such as schilder, manier, uyt zijn selven doen, welstandt, leven and gheest, and wel schilderen, and both exemplifies and explicates the author’s distinctive views on the complementary forms and functions of history and landscape.

How art played a central role in the design of America’s racial enterprise—and how contemporary artists resist it. Art has long played a key role in constructing how people understand and imagine America. Starting with contemporary controversies over public monuments in the United States, Rebecca Zorach carefully examines the place of art in the occupation of land and the upholding of White power in the US, arguing that it has been central to the design of America’s racial enterprise. Confronting closely held assumptions of art history, Zorach looks to the intersections of art, nature, race, and place, working through a series of symbolic spaces—the museum, the wild, islands, gardens, home, and walls and borders—to open and extend conversations on the political implications of art and design. Against the backdrop of central moments in American art, from the founding of early museums to the ascendancy of abstract expressionism, Zorach shows how contemporary artists—including Dawoud Bey, Theaster Gates, Maria Gaspar, Kerry James Marshall, Alan Michelson, Dylan Miner, Postcommodity, Cauleen Smith, and Amanda Williams—have mined the relationship between environment and social justice, creating works that investigate and interrupt White supremacist, carceral, and environmentally toxic worlds. The book also draws on poetry, creative nonfiction, hip-hop videos, and Disney films to illuminate crucial topics in art history, from the racial politics of abstraction to the origins of museums and the formation of canons.

Exploring the rich variety of pictorial rhetoric in early modern northern European genre images, this volume deepens our understanding of genre's place in early modern visual culture. From 1500 to 1700, artists in northern Europe pioneered the category of pictures now known as genre, portrayals of people in ostensibly quotidian situations. Critical approaches to genre images have moved past the antiquated notion that they portray uncomplicated 'slices of life,' describing them instead as heavily encoded pictorial essays, laden with symbols that only the most erudite contemporary viewers and modern iconographers could fully comprehend. These essays challenge that limiting binary, revealing a more expansive array of accessible meanings in genre's deft grafting of everyday scenarios with a rich complex of experiential, cultural, political, and religious references. Authors deploy a variety of approaches to detail genre's multivalent relations to older, more established pictorial and literary categories, the interplay between the meaning of the everyday and its translation into images, and the multifaceted concerns genre addressed for its rapidly expanding, unprecedentedly diverse audience.

The premise that Western culture has undergone a pictorial turn (W.J.T. Mitchell) has prompted renewed interest in theorizing the visual image. In recent decades researchers in the humanities and social sciences have documented the function and status of the image relative to other media, and have traced the history of its power and the attempts to disempower it. What is an Image in Medieval and Early Modern England? engages in this debate in two interrelated ways: by focusing on the (visual) image during a period that witnessed the Reformation and the invention of the printing press, and by exploring its status in relation to an array of texts including Arthurian romance, saints lives, stage plays, printed sermons, biblical epic, pamphlets, and psalms. This interdisciplinary volume includes contributions by leading authorities as well as younger scholars from the fields of English literature, art history, and Reformation history. As with all previous collections of essays produced under the auspices of the Swiss Association of Medieval and Early Modern English Studies, it seeks to foster dialogue between the two periods.

Die Entstehung der Ekphrasis als ästhetische Kategorie der Renaissance steht unter dem Einfluss der antiken Schulrhetorik und der literarischen Tradition, von der homerischen Epik bis zur byzantinischen Popularisierung ekphrastischer Untergattungen. Das Buch nähert sich dem humanistischen Verständnis der Ekphrasis, wodurch bisher kaum beachtete Phänomene beleuchtet werden, wie die schulrhetorische Faktur von Giorgio Vasaris Viten oder die Spuren naturphilosophischer und technischer Beschreibungen in der visuellen Kultur der Renaissance, von Emblembüchern und wissenschaftlichen Traktaten bis hin zu Sottobosco-Gemälden und Experimentaldichtung des Frühbarocks am Beispiel von Luis de Góngora. Umfassende Studie zum Einfluss der schulrhetorischen und literarischen Tradition der Ekphrasis auf die visuelle Kultur der Renaissance Mit besonderem Fokus auf die Überlieferung und Verbreitung von frühneuzeitlichen Begriffen der Natur und des Ökologischen anhand von Emblemsammlungen

Secrets in all their variety permeated early modern Europe, from the whispers of ambassadors at court to the emphatically publicized books of home remedies that flew from presses and booksellers’ shops. This interdisciplinary volume draws on approaches from art history and cultural studies to investigate the manifestations of secrecy in printed books and drawings, staircases and narrative paintings, ecclesiastical furnishings and engravers’ tools. Topics include how patrons of art and architecture deployed secrets to construct meanings and distinguish audiences, and how artists and patrons manipulated the content and display of the subject matter of artworks to create an aura of exclusive access and privilege. Essays examine the ways in which popes and princes skillfully deployed secrets in works of art to maximize social control, and how artists, printers, and folk healers promoted their wares through the impression of valuable, mysterious knowledge. The authors contributing to the volume represent both established authorities in their field as well as emerging voices. This volume will have wide appeal for historians, art historians, and literary scholars, introducing readers to a fascinating and often unexplored component of early modern culture.

El Tarot Mantegna es un extraordinario sistema simbólico y artilugio imaginal del siglo XV, y también el tarot más antiguo que se ha conservado completo. Fue atribuido erróneamente al artista Andrea Mantegna, pues sus verdaderos autores permanecen en el anonimato. La presente obra contiene información exclusiva y documentada sobre la historia de este tarot en relación con otras barajas; un estudio de su sistema, la interpretación de cada una de sus cartas; así como ejercicios y métodos de lectura. Las imágenes del Tarot Mantegna son una guía mística que ayuda a reconocer nuestro lugar en el cosmos y a recordar nuestro origen divino. Se trata de un juego poético, filosófico y mnemotécnico que nos indica un camino de virtud y de sabiduría. Sus alegorías y símbolos forman parte de la tradición platónica, hermética y astrológica del Renacimiento. Fue concebido como un sistema de escritura interno, motivado por la concepción alejandrina de los jeroglíficos egipcios, cuyo inventor es el dios Hermes-Thot. El sistema e iconografía de este tarot inspiró a los creadores del Tarot de Marsella, así como a diversos artistas y pensadores.
