D'autres, moins connus, sont à découvrir : le cardinal d'Amboise, l'ordre ecclésiastique de la Visitation, le cas singulier de puissants genevois, le Prince Napoléon, ou les usines Renault... Les architectes trouvent également la place qui leur est due avec des artistes aussi importants que François Mansart, Charles Cameron, Emile Trélat ou Mies van der Rohe.

In the first wide-ranging and accessible introduction to play in Renaissance Italy, Peter Burke, celebrated historian of the Italian Renaissance, synthesizes over forty years’ research, explores the various forms of play in this period, and offers an overview that reveals the many connections between its different domains. While play could be rough, the Church played an increasing role in determining acceptable and unacceptable forms of play, and, after campaigns against violence and obscenity, much of the licentiousness characteristic of the early Renaissance was tamed.

Summary:
Le Grand panorama de Lisbonne, œuvre extraordinaire, l’une des plus importantes de la collection du musée national de l’Azulejo, est un document d’une richesse iconographique unique pour l’histoire de la ville de Lisbonne. Elle présente la vue la plus complète de la capitale, se déployant le long du Tage, avant le tremblement de terre qui la détruisit en 1755. La contemplation de cette œuvre permet d’admirer des bâtiments et des lieux qui ont résisté à la catastrophe, mais aussi d’en observer d’autres ayant disparu, images d’un monde dont la fragilité nous est rappelée. Cette œuvre a été attribuée à l’un des premiers maîtres de la céramique baroque, le peintre d’origine espagnole Gabriel del Barco. Le panneau, d’environ 23 mètres de long, représentant 14 km de côtes d’Algés à Xabregas, nous invite à découvrir – au-delà des palais, églises, couvents et habitations – l’atmosphère générale de la ville lisboète en ce début de xviiie siècle, des zones les plus densément peuplées jusqu’aux campagnes et environs d’Alcântara ou Belém.

Longtemps considéré comme un art de décadence, le baroque apparaît aujourd’hui comme la manifestation d’une civilisation qui a considérablement élargi l’horizon du réel. La culture de l’âge baroque est à l’origine de la nôtre : c’est la première véritable “civilisation de l’image”. Construit autour des photographies réalisées ces vingt dernières années par Ferrante Ferranti, Baroques présente tous les aspects du baroque mondial dans un parcours qui donne au lecteur une idée de l’infini d’un style artistique grandiose.

Summary:
Though little known in the English-speaking world, Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach (1656-1723) was one of the most important and influential European baroque architects. The buildings that he designed for the emperor of Austria and his courtiers reveal an element of theatricality - an element that author Esther Gordon Dotson probes in this accessible and attractive volume. In his architectural designs, Fischer incorporated devices from ceremonial pageantry and scene design, controlled lighting effects, and a sense of dramatic progression in approaching and moving through a building. Dotson identifies these various elements in her close reading of Fischer's structures, and splendid new photographs, taken by Mark Richard Ashton, bring them to life on the printed page. The author guides readers in discovering the theatrical qualities in Fischer's buildings, illuminating their conceptual liveliness, variety, and drama.

While Longhena's legacy is most visible in his iconic Madonna della Salute, the 17th-century basilica devoted to the Virgin Mary in gratitude for Venice's deliverance from the plague, and in the Pesaro and Rezzonico palaces along the Grand Canal, he created a plethora of other works over the course of a career that spanned half a century. Andrew Hopkins's thought-provoking text considers the full span of Longhena's illustrious career, from his monumental staircases and libraries to the palaces commissioned by private patrons and his projects for Venice's Greek and Jewish communities. This lively account is accompanied by more than sixty color and 300 black-and-white photographs commissioned especially for the book. A complete list of Longhena's work is included in an appendix.

He shows how Brescian loyalty to Venice was repeatedly tested by a succession of disasters: assault by Milanese forces, economic downturn, demographic collapse, and occupation by French and Spanish armies intent on dismembering the Venetian empire. In spite of all these troubles the city experienced a cultural revival and a dramatic political transformation under Venetian rule, which Bowd describes and uses to illuminate the process of state formation in one of the most powerful regions of Renaissance Italy.
