Europæisk historie: renæssancen

This is the third and final volume of essays issuing from the Leverhulme International Network 'Renaissance Conflict and Rivalries: Cultural Polemics in Europe, c. 1300-c. 1650'. The overall aim of the network was to examine the various ways in which conflict and rivalries made a positive contribution to cultural production and change during the Renaissance. The present volume, which contains papers delivered at the third colloquium, draws that examination to a close by considering a range of different strategies deployed in the period to manage conflict and rivalries and to bring them to a positive resolution. The papers explore these developments in the context of political, diplomatic, social, institutional, religious, and art history.

Im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung stehen Wandmalereien, Skulpturen, Bilderhandschriften sowie Körperbilder des 16. Jahrhunderts in Mexiko. Julia Kloss-Weber analysiert, inwiefern viele der im Rahmen der Neuspanien-Mission entstandenen Bilder Alterität, also Identität stiftende Andersartigkeit, thematisieren. Gleichzeitig fragt sie nach jener Form von Alterität, die Bildern als Spannungsfelder einer ,ikonischen Differenz' (Gottfried Boehm) zukommt. Dadurch werden zwei Diskursfelder zusammengeführt, die sich bisher weitgehend unabhängig voneinander entwickelt hatten: Reflexionen auf Konstruktionen des ,Anderen' im Rahmen der Postcolonial Studies und bildtheoretische Debatten. So wird deutlich, inwiefern Bilder nicht nur zwischen Kulturen vermitteln, sondern selbst Gegenstand transkultureller Übersetzungsprozesse sind.

The permanent exhibition in the north wing of Dresden's Royal Palace presents the surviving, magnificent vestments from the possessions of the Saxon electors, dating from around 1550 to 1650. This unique treasure trove of European fashion and textile history from the Renaissance and early Baroque has now been re-opened to the public after more than 80 years in storage and many years of conservation and restoration measures. This exhibition guide is the first work to do justice to a collection rich in silk, gold and silver. It covers all the rulers' robes on display, including complete costume ensembles, suits with doublet and trousers, ladies' dresses, and individual garments. There are also introductions to the many portraits, accessories and sumptuous armoury on display. Clothes make the man - clothes make politics: rulers' costumes and haute couture from the period 1550 to 1650

Neben Albrecht Dürer gelten Hans Holbein d. Ä. und Hans Burgkmair als Wegbereiter der Renaissancemalerei im Norden. Wichtiges Zentrum dieser künstlerischen Blütezeit war die wohlhabende Reichs- und Handelsstadt Augsburg. Anhand hochkarätiger Werke bietet der Band einen umfassenden Einblick in den epochalen Umbruch vom Mittelalter zur Neuzeit.Augsburg wurde früh von der humanistischen Kultur Italiens beeinflusst. Aufgrund der Kunstsinnigkeit international agierender Handelshäuser, wie der Fugger, der zahlreichen Aufenthalte Kaiser Maximilians I. und der häufigen Reichstage bot die Kulturmetropole Künstlern wie Holbein d. Ä. und Burgkmair einen idealen Nährboden für die Entwicklung einer neuen Kunst. Anhand ihrer wichtigsten Tafelbilder, die unter anderem Werken von Dürer gegenübergestellt werden, wird die überaus fruchtbare wie auch unterschiedliche Aneignung der italienischen Renaissance durch die beiden Protagonisten nachgezeichnet.

Im Venedig der Renaissance ergründeten Meister wie Bellini, Giorgione, Palma Vecchio und Tizian das Wesen von Mensch und Natur sowie deren Verhältnis zueinander mit nie dagewesener Intensität. Anhand bedeutender Porträt- und Landschaftsdarstellungen zeigt der attraktive Band die bahnbrechenden Neuerungen der venezianischen Malerei, die bis weit in die Moderne wirkten.Die Malerei der Lagunenstadt besticht nicht nur durch die Fülle der Farben und Nuancen des Lichts, sondern auch durch das besondere Einfühlungsvermögen, mit dem sich die Künstler ihren Darstellungen widmeten. Es entstanden feinsinnige Porträts, verführerische Idealbildnisse und Historienbilder, deren eigentliche Protagonistin die stimmungsvolle Landschaft ist. Eindrücklich befragt das Buch diese Meisterwerke hinsichtlich ihrer hohen Innovationskraft, ihrer Entstehungszusammenhänge und zeitgenössischen Lesarten.KÜNSTLERGiovanni Bellini | Paris Bordone | Giovanni Cariani | Cima da Conegliano | Giorgione | Bernardino Licino | Lorenzo Lotto | Sebastiano del Piombo | Tintoretto | Tizian | Palma Vecchio u. a.

Volume 5 of The New Cambridge History of Islam examines the history of Muslim societies from 1800 to the present.

The Renaissance was a highly mobile, turbulent era in Europe, when war, poverty, and persecution pushed many people onto the roads in search of a living or a safe place to settle. In the same period, the expansion of European states overseas opened up new avenues of long-distance migration, while also fuelling the global traffic in slaves. The accelerating movement of people stimulated commercial, political, religious, and artistic exchanges, while also prompting the establishment of new structures of control and surveillance. This Element illuminates the material and social mechanisms that enacted mobility in the Renaissance and thereby offers a new way to understand the period's dynamism, creativity, and conflict. Spurred by recent 'mobilities' studies, it highlights the experiences of a wide range of mobile populations, paying particular attention to the concrete, practical dimensions of moving around at this time, whether on a local or a global scale.

Selected Hutterian Documents in Translation brings together several earlier communal disciplines of the Hutterian Brethren written during a time-span of more than a century, beginning with the first generation of the Hutterian movement (1542), and continuing into the late Ehrenpreis era (1654).The first section, "Concerning the Upbringing of Children," holds special significance in that the unit forms a major section of a pedagogical codex compiled by Vorsteher Claus Braidl. Although the school problems during the 1540s through the 1570s were certainly difficult to solve, the approach of the whole Brotherhood in general, and the leadership in particular, suggests a fine balance struck in attempting to cope with perennial problems within the schools, highly innovative for their times. The beautiful catechism for children, lifted from a small pedagogical codex at Olomouc, ¿SSR, suggests the depth of the Hutterites' concern for teaching the children who have not yet been baptized; they are still to be brought up in the fear of God and taught respect and appreciation for all of God's creation, but especially for the church-community (Gemeinde), which God established and which the Hutterites were faithfully continuing in their response to God as His people.The Taufreden (baptismal sermons) are unique among those extant in Hutterian literature in that they are the only known, full-length sermons which were not only written in the sixteenth century, but are taken from a sixteenth century codex (1599). The "Regulation Concerning the Matching of the Young People for Marriage" (1643), the "Communal Discipline" (1651), and the "Barber-Surgeon Discipline" (1654) represent a later period of Hutterian life.

In the wide realm of Shakespeare worship, the house in Stratford-upon-Avon where William Shakespeare was born in 1564 - known colloquially as the 'Birthplace' - remains the chief shrine. It's not as romantic as Anne Hathaway's thatched cottage, it's not where he wrote any of his plays, and there's nothing inside the house that once belonged to Shakespeare himself. So why, for centuries, have people kept turning up on the doorstep? Richard Schoch answers that question by examining the history of the Birthplace and by exploring how its changing fortunes over four centuries perfectly mirror the changing attitudes toward Shakespeare himself.Based on original research in the archives of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-upon-Avon and the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, and featuring two black and white illustrated plate sections which draw on the wide array of material available at the Folger Shakespeare Library and the Victoria and Albert Museum, this book traces the history of Shakespeare's birthplace over four centuries. Beginning in the 1560s, when Shakespeare was born there, it ends in the 1890s, when the house was rescued from private purchase and turned into the Shakespeare monument that it remains today.

« Aiutando l¿arte con le parole per esprimere suo concetto » : ces mots de Giorgio Vasari trahissent l¿ambivalence de la théorie artistique du Cinquecento devant les inscriptions dans la peinture, son auteur moquant ailleurs la « gofferia » des phylactères tardo-médiévaux.En disgrâce au début du XVIe siècle, l¿intitulation et l¿appareillage scripturaire des décors font retour après le concile de Trente afin de mieux encadrer la réalisation et la contemplation de l¿art religieux. Cet ouvrage explore la place, les types, les formes et enfin les fonctions de ces écritures, dans différents foyers d¿Italie, à compter de la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle."Aiutando l¿arte con le parole per esprimere suo concetto": queste parole di Giorgio Vasari, che altrove giunge persino a deridere la "gofferia" dei filatteri tardo medievali, tradiscono l¿ambivalenza della teoria artistica del Cinquecento nei confronti delle iscrizioni in pittura.In disgrazia all¿inizio del XVI secolo, l¿intitolazione e l¿attrezzatura scritturale delle decorazioni tornarono in auge dopo il Concilio di Trento per regolare meglio la creazione e la fruizione dell¿arte religiosa. Questo libro esplora l¿importanza, la collocazione, i tipi, le forme e infine le funzioni di queste scritture in diversi contesti italiani a partire dalla seconda metà del XVI secolo.
