Synopsis The Agency of Art Objects in Northern Europe, 1380-1520 by : Antoni Ziemba
This monograph book offers a new interpretation of northern European art of the fifteenth century. The author presents it as a conglomerate of objects-things which act on the recipient in a specific - material and spatial - way. He analyzes macro-scale objects that impose movement on the viewer, and micro-scale objects that encourage manipulation. Inspired by the anti-anthropocentric concept of "returning to things" (B. Latour, A. Gell and others), the author searches for the "agency of things" in late-medieval art objects, which evoke specific liturgical, devotional, propaganda-political behaviors, or establish the status of social owner of the object that once co-created the network of material and spiritual culture. This methodologically innovative approach is part of the latest research in early art in Western Europe and the United States.

Synopsis Animation between Magic, Miracles and Mechanics by : Hans Henrik Lohfert Jørgensen
When it comes to images, we are all animists. Deep down, we all know that images can – at least potentially – be alive or come to life. Nowadays, we may tend to rationalize our ingrained animism and explain it away as a mere projection only happening in the space between image and viewer. In the Middle Ages, however, imagery made enthusiastic use of magical, miraculous and mechanical means of animation, empowered and ensouled by both natural and supernatural principles of life. This animist book investigates magic, miracles and mechanics as motors of animation and seeks to understand the living image in solidarity with medieval experience rather than dismissive alienation of it. Effigies did bleed, weep or lactate, either through divine intervention or through hydraulic machinery. Statues did move or speak, either as demonic oracles or as talking heads with implanted speaking tubes. Marvels made by magic or by miracles were real, as real as the wonders of physical mechanics moving bodily matter. We just need to look and listen more carefully to comprehend these fluid realities, even when – especially when – they challenge our received worldview. Animation was by no means uncontested or uncontradicted, but even its stiffest critics knew that gods and demons could intervene in inanimate matter to set it in motion, to speak in tongues and exude the liquids of life.

Synopsis The Agency of Things in Medieval and Early Modern Art by : Grażyna Jurkowlaniec
This volume explores the late medieval and early modern periods from the perspective of objects. While the agency of things has been studied in anthropology and archaeology, it is an innovative approach for art historical investigations. Each contributor takes as a point of departure active things: objects that were collected, exchanged, held in hand, carried on a body, assembled, cared for or pawned. Through a series of case studies set in various geographic locations, this volume examines a rich variety of systems throughout Europe and beyond.

Synopsis Ornament and Order by : Margrethe C. Stang
Signe Horn Fuglesang, Professor of Art History at the University of Oslo, is an internationally recognised specialist on Viking and Northern medieval art. To celebrate her seventieth birthday, a group of scholars and friends of Signe have contributed to this Festschrift, focussing on her fields of research. The book throws light on specific medieval artefacts and monuments according to Signe Horn Fuglesang's own scholarly practice, examining material relics of the past with close and competent scrutiny. The objects discussed range from an Irish drinking horn terminal to the Octagon doorway of Trondheim Cathedral, from illuminated manuscripts to painted rood lofts and Limoges enamels. Several papers touch upon the significance of ornament, discussing decorative and symbolic aspects of ornamentation. The authors, senior and junior scholars from Great Britain and Scandinavia, have worked together with Signe or benefited from her inspiring tuition. With this book they wish to honour her as colleague, teacher and friend.

Synopsis Frans Hals Portraits by : Lawrence W. Nichols
"Frans Hals (1582/83--1666) is one of the foremost portrait painters of the Dutch Golden Age, but he only painted four family groups portraits. This publication unites these family portraits--including one that is now in sections--along with related works by the artist and his contemporaries and examines the topic of Hals's family portraiture as a whole, placing it in the context of his complete oeuvre"--Back cover.
