Reduced Price! Now only € 49,00 instead of € 75,00 'Ce recueil, est un instrument de travail indispensable pour les chercheurs qui s'intéressent à' l'art néo-gothique, et surtout à l'art de l'enluminure'. Paul Valvekens in Revue D'Histoire Ecclésiastique, Volume 103, Issue 1, 2008 The art of illumination, usually associated with the Middle Ages, experienced a spectacular revival in nineteenth-century Western Europe. This completely different context gave the illuminations another import. The output of the lay and religious workshops reveals a great artistic, stylistic, technical and typological diversity. The works illuminated go far beyond the world of exceptional and precious manuscripts and include many occasional documents, as well as golden books, devotional images, etc. Richly illustrated with unpublished masterworks, the present volume offers an overview of the important revival of medieval illumination. The fifteen authors do not limit their approach to the traditional questions of art history. Rather, they explore the historical, socio-cultural, ideological and religious components of the revival, which changed according to time and country, in order to understand the evolution and success of the art of illumination in the long nineteenth century. L’art de l’enluminure, bien connu pour le Moyen Âge, fit l’objet d’un regain d’intérêt spectaculaire au XIXe siècle. Le contexte résolument différent leur confère toutefois une autre signification. La production des ateliers civils et religieux présente une grande diversité artistique, stylistique, technique et typologique. Elle excède largement le monde des manuscrits exceptionnels et précieux et comprend nombre de documents de circonstance, de livres d’or, d’images de dévotion, etc. Abondamment illustré de chefs-d’œuvre inédits, le présent ouvrage présente pour la première fois une vue d’ensemble de l’important phénomène de la renaissance de l’enluminure médiévale. Les quinze auteurs n’ont pas voulu se limiter aux questions traditionnelles de l’histoire de l’art. Les composantes historiques, socioculturelles, idéologiques et religieuses de ce phénomène complexe, variant dans le temps et selon les pays, sont essentielles pour comprendre l’évolution et le succès de l’art de l’enluminure au XIXe siècle.
