Résumé:
L'époque carolingienne, volet initial d'un triptyque culturel annonçant les Ages roman et gothique, ce moment artistique est longtemps apparu comme l'apogée de la création haut médiévale, offrant la première grande définition des valeurs artistiques de l'Europe chrétienne. La synthèse qui est ici présentée dresse un panorama de l'art de cette période et en renouvelle l'approche : elle se propose en effet de replacer l'art carolingien au fil d'une progression plus ample volée, en se basant sur de nombreuses données inédites issues des recherches menées dans le champ de l'archéologie paléochrétienne et des arts du " premier " haut Moyen Age. Ainsi, la prise en compte des prémices, avec les réalisations importantes du règne de Pépin le Bref dès le milieu du VIIIe siècle, mais aussi l'analyse des œuvres produites dans la mouvance de Charles le Chauve dans les décennies 840-870, ou encore l'attention portée au mécénat des hauts dignitaires, conduiront à une réorientation de la réflexion sur le sujet. Enfin, l'accent mis sur l'étude de la finalité des œuvres permettra de mieux appréhender l'esprit des concepteurs de cet art.

Résumé:
Symbole de l’histoire de la Bretagne, le palais du parlement est, paradoxalement, un remarquable témoignage du grand décor royal et parisien du XVIIe siècle. Edifié entre 1618 et 1655 sur les plans de Salomon de Brosse, architecte du palais du Luxembourg, cette cour de justice souveraine, chargée d’enregistrer édits et lettres royales, exprime dans la pierre et dans le décor toute l’importance de cette fonction. Après un siècle de chantier, l’architecte de Louis XV, Jacques V Gabriel, le dote d’une place royale rythmée par l’alternance du granit et du tuffeau, écrin pour une statue équestre de Louis XIV par Coysevox. À la Révolution, le palais perd sa dimension politique et conserve dès lors sa fonction de cour de justice. L’incendie de 1994, suscite un traumatisme chez les bretons, heureusement réparé par une restauration exemplaire et la réouverture en tant que cour d’Appel et monument ouvert à la visite dès 1999.

The years around 1700 were marked by transformations in European and colonial capital cities. This era saw the creation not only of palatial complexes and urban spaces appropriate to autocratic power, but also of essential infrastructure such as roads, ports, and fortifications.

Résumé:
The years around 1700 were marked by transformations in European and colonial capital cities. This era saw the creation not only of palatial complexes and urban spaces appropriate to autocratic power, but also of essential infrastructure such as roads, ports, and fortifications. In addition, many of the civic structures and background buildings that form the familiar urban images of the eighteenth century date from this period. In all of this activity, architects and architectural ideas, formed mostly in Italy and influenced by the baroque architecture of Rome, especially the late works of Francesco Borromini and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, played a central role. Twelve contributors provide a comprehensive look at the design, renewal, and expansion of capitals and countries including Naples, Rome, Vienna, Stockholm, Saint Petersburg, England, Amsterdam, Cádiz, Lisbon, Quebec City, and Lima. The result is a fascinating cross section that allows a comparative reading of baroque architecture: from country to country, from region to region, and from the Old World to the New.

Résumé:
Long Island’s North Fork is a pastoral quilt of vineyards and farms by the sea. To the north are the sandy beaches of Long Island Sound and to the south a collection of harbors and fishing villages overlooking Peconic Bay. Stretching out some thirty miles from the mainland, this narrow peninsula is a place of serenity and beauty. Photographer Jake Rajs has captured the spirit of the North Fork - the glorious colors of sunrise and sunset, the calm waters, and the vast expanses of fields and wetlands. He focuses on architectural landmarks as well - the Victorian houses on Shelter Island, eighteenth-century barns, the Orient Point Lighthouse - to create a complete portrait of this unspoiled land. Complementing the visual presentation is an essay by Jesse Browner that evokes the spirit of the North Fork and its people, tracing the evolution of the land from colonial farms to the vineyards that have emerged over the past thirty years.

Résumé:
This is the first in a new series of five books describing and illustrating the seminal architectural traditions of the world. "Antiquity" traces architectural history from its very beginnings until the time when the traditions that shape today's environments began to flourish. Highly illustrated, with 1,200 colour photographs and 400 drawings, the book is divided into ten sections progressing through time: West Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean, Pre-Columbian America, Hellenic Hellenes Divided; Macedonians Ascendant Etruscans and Hellenistic Romans, Imperial Rome Christianity, and Empire Rome, and New Rome; The West: Imperial Revival and the Latin Cross; and The East: Imperial Survival and the Greek Cross. More than a catalogue of buildings, in this work Tadgell provides their political, technological, social and cultural contexts and explores architecture, not only as the development of form and space but as an expression of the civilization within which it evolves. The buildings are analyzed and illustrated with photographs and drawings while the societies that produced them are brought to life through a broad selection of their artefacts

Résumé:
In this philosophy classic, which was first published in 1951, E. R. Dodds takes on the traditional view of Greek culture as a triumph of rationalism. Using the analytical tools of modern anthropology and psychology, Dodds asks, "Why should we attribute to the ancient Greeks an immunity from 'primitive' modes of thought which we do not find in any society open to our direct observation?" Praised by reviewers as "an event in modern Greek scholarship" and "a book which it would be difficult to over-praise," this book was Volume 25 of the Sather Classical Lectures series.

Résumé:
This superb guide at last brings the work of Filippo Coarelli, one of the most widely published and best known scholars of Roman archeology and art, to a wide, English-language audience. Conveniently organized by walking tours and illustrated throughout with clear maps, drawings, and plans, Rome and Environs: An Archaeological Guide covers all of the city's ancient sites, and, unlike most other guides, now includes the major monuments in a large area outside Rome proper but within easy reach, such as Ostia Antica, Palestrina, Tivoli, and the many areas of interest along the ancient Roman roads. An essential resource for tourists interested in a deeper understanding of Rome's classical remains, it is also the ideal book for students and scholars approaching the ancient history of one of the world's most fascinating cities. Covers all the major sites including the Capitoline, the Roman Forum and the Imperial Fora, the Palatine Hill, the Valley of the Colosseum, the Esquiline, the Caelian, the Quirinal, and the Campus Martius. Two separate chapters discuss important clusters of sites-one on the area surrounding Circus Maximus and the other in the vicinity of the Trastevere, including the Aventine and the Vatican. Additional chapters cover the city walls and the aqueducts. Features 189 maps, drawings, and diagrams; an appendix on building materials and techniques; and an extensive bibliography.
