Véhicule des idées de l’église catholique, il a su inventer des formes nouvelles, tout en s’adaptant à des conditions historiques, politiques et géographiques très différentes. 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.

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.

Le système des ordres d’architecture classiques ne laisse apparemment aucune place à l’innovation formelle. Mais si les trois ordres grecs, dorique, ionique et corinthien, fournissent à la Renaissance le pivot naturel de la grammaire et le fondement de la rhétorique, des formes périphériques apparaissent aux marges : toscan, attique, italique ou latin sont autant d’inventions qui, bien qu’elles échappent à la perfection de l’idée de l’architecture, acquièrent une valeur esthétique. Mineures, hybrides, monstrueuses parfois, elles suscitent l’intérêt des plus inventifs des architectes, Michel-Ange ou Philibert De l’Orme, dont elles stimulent l’imagination.

Summary:
This is the first study of Renaissance architecture as an immersive, multisensory experience that combines historical analysis with the evidence of first-hand accounts. Questioning the universalizing claims of contemporary architectural phenomenologists, David Karmon emphasizes the infinite variety of meanings produced through human interactions with the built environment. His book draws upon the close study of literary and visual sources to prove that early modern audiences paid sustained attention to the multisensory experience of the buildings and cities in which they lived. Through reconstructing the Renaissance understanding of the senses, we can better gauge how constant interaction with the built environment shaped daily practices and contributed to new forms of understanding.'' Architecture and the senses in the Italian Renaissance'' offers a stimulating new approach to the study of Renaissance architecture and urbanism as a kind of ''experiential trigger'' that shaped ways of both thinking and being in the world.

Summary:
From the strictly regimented church bells to the freewheeling chatter of civic life, Renaissance Florence was a city built not just of stone but of sound as well. An evocative alternative to the dominant visual understanding of urban spaces, The Noisy Renaissance examines the premodern city as an acoustic phenomenon in which citizens used sound to navigate space and society. Analyzing a range of documentary and literary evidence, art and architectural historian Niall Atkinson creates an “acoustic topography” of Florence. The dissemination of official messages, the rhythm of prayer, and the murmur of rumor and gossip combined to form a soundscape that became a foundation in the creation and maintenance of the urban community just as much as the city’s physical buildings. Sound in this space triggered a wide variety of social behaviors and spatial relations: hierarchical, personal, communal, political, domestic, sexual, spiritual, and religious.
