Between 1607 and 1612 Scipione Borghese, the Cardinal nephew of Pope Paul V, commissioned a polychrome sculpture of an African man from the artist Nicolas Cordier. On the surface, Cordier's Il Moro seems a purely exotic object and an anomaly within the Borghese collection. The context surrounding the sculpture's commission, however, illuminates the politically charged circumstances of this representation. Cordier's strategic mix of materials adds yet another dimension to the African figure: the antique fragment embedded within the frame of the African invests the sculpture with a persona which is simultaneously identifiable yet resolutely different. Through Il Moro the Borghese broadcast a political agenda bent on international expansion. Their mitigation of ethnographic differences and negotiation of cultural boundaries demonstrate the escalating awareness of distant societies in the early modern era and the necessity of political alliances in the papal community.

"A pioneering work in the field of art history, The Image of the Black in Western Art is a comprehensive series of ten books which offers a lavishly illustrated history of the representations of people of African descent from antiquity to the present. Each book includes a series of essays by some of the most distinguished names in art history. Ranging from images of Pharaohs created by unknown hands almost 3,500 years ago to the works of the great masters of European and American art such as Bosch, Dürer, Mantegna, Rembrandt, Rubens, Watteau, Hogarth, Copley, and Goya to stunning new media creations by contemporary black artists, these books are generously illustrated with beautiful, moving, and often little-known images of black people. Black figures-queens and slaves, saints and soldiers, priests and prisoners, dancers and athletes, children and gods-are central to the visual imagination of Western civilization. Written in accessible language, the extensive and insightful commentaries on the illustrations by distinguished art historians make this series invaluable for the general reader and the specialist alike."--Résumé de l'éditeur.

Under the Second Empire in France, Cordier received several assignments in North Africa and there he completed scientific busts that were just as much works of art. His busts in silver or gilt bronze, onyx and coloured marble are delicate gems, reflecting Cordier's interest in other civilizations, most notably African. The Musee d'Orsay in Paris has organized an unprecedented international exhibition of Cordier's work, highlighting seventy-five sculptures and approximately forty ethnographic photographs. Filled with several texts on his life and work compiled by the exhibition's organizers, this book was created and based on the research by Jeanine Durand-Revillon for the Ecole du Louvre in 1980.

Statuen und Reliefs mit der Wiedergabe der menschlichen Gestalt gehören zum umfangreichen Fundus antiker Artefakte, die als Spolien Eingang in die mittelalterliche Kultur gefunden haben. Als eigenständige Gruppe wurden sie von der Forschungsliteratur jedoch kaum berücksichtigt. Ihre Bedeutung gilt aufgrund der geringen Anzahl an überlieferten Beispielen als marginal, das Verhältnis des mittelalterlichen Betrachters zur antiken Statuarik als indifferent bis ablehnend. Die vorliegende Studie zeichnet ein anderes Bild. Erstmals werden hier die Grundlagen der mittelalterlichen Aneignung antiker Bildwerke auf breiter Basis systematisch untersucht. Anhand von schriftlichen Quellen gelingt der Nachweis, dass ein Interesse am inhaltlichen Verständnis antiker Bildwerke während des Mittelalters ohne Frage wach geblieben ist. Von einem christlichen Weltbild geprägte Deutungsversuche folgen Mustern, die sich auch in der modernen Wissenschaft finden. Kenntnisse über die antiken Gattungen der Portrait- und Idealplastik blieben stets gewahrt, ebenso wie das Bewusstsein, dass es sich bei den Bildwerken um Relikte einer vergangenen Epoche handelte, die ihre religiöse Kraft eingebüßt hatten. Diese Einsichten wiederum öffneten den Weg nicht nur für eine ästhetische Wertschätzung. Antike Bildwerke wurden als Trophäen, Zeugnisse einer ruhmvollen Vergangenheit und Herrschaftszeichen vereinnahmt. Fehlbenennungen dürfen nicht ausschliesslich als Tribut an eine vermeintliche Unkenntnis gewertet werden, sondern folgen der antiken Praxis einer bewusst vollzogenen Umtaufe. Umgearbeite Sepulkralskulptur erweist sich als Geburtshelfer der mittelalterlichen Ehrenstatue. Und auch Spolien im Kontext von Heiligenfiguren veranschaulichen den Versuch, den geschichtlich und künstlerisch geschätzten Relikten einen Platz in der eigenen Kultur zuzuweisen.
