more
Dutch landscape is not just a genre of painting, but a multifaceted conception that emerged in the early modern period from countless pictures, maps and texts. The intermedial dialogue between geography and painting, in which projections and imaginations, measured and fictitious landscapes complemented each other and competed with each other, was formative. In the differentiation of media, the genuine potential of maps and images comes to light.
In addition to the reinterpretation of the understanding of nature and art in early landscape painting, the analysis of realism-generating aesthetic strategies at the beginning of the 17th century and the examination of national topoi in Dutch self-representation, the study offers above all a new methodological approach: starting from intensive image analyses and the location of the intentions of landscapes in the political, economic and art-theoretical context, the main focus is on the medial construction of reality itself.

more
A royal dynasty cultivates its traditions above all through the commemoration of its ancestors. Tombs play a central role in this. This study examines the tombs of the royal house of Anjou erected in the Kingdom of Sicily (Naples) by the first of the ruling generations in the second half of the 13th century and the first half of the 14th century.
The monuments had concretely tangible political and legitimising functions, but they can also be explained by the piety and the understanding of rule of their time. Both aspects are dealt with in this book. The study contributes to the systematic research of the two fundamental functions of funerary monuments, the memoria of the deceased and the representation of the kingdom by the royal family.
The tombs of the royal house of Anjou present themselves as a form of a well planned, public staging of their own lineage.

Napoli dalle colline: città e campagna, cultura e natura nella veduta di Jan van Stinemolen (1582)

more
In 1582, the Dutch draughtsman Jan van Stinemolen completed a monumental panorama of the city of Naples. The distinctive feature of this work in ink on paper, which is now kept in the Albertina in Vienna, is that it does not show the conventional view of the city from the gulf, but rather from the mainland. Surprisingly, however, this original work – well known both to scholars of Neapolitan topography and to those studying Dutch drawing – has not yet received the scholarly attention nor inspired the efforts at interpretation that it merits. The contributions gathered in this issue seek to fill this gap, not least by employing new analytical tools to present fresh perspectives on the work and to highlight its distinctive qualities. They are the fruit of a collaborative research project whose distinctive hallmark is the use it makes of the digitized maps annotated at the Bibliotheca Hertziana – Max Planck Institute for Art History, which were fundamental to the approach followed and exemplified in this volume. The aim was twofold: to identify as many of the sites visualized in Stinemolen's monumental drawing as possible, and to investigate its artistic composition and intermedial construction, which revealed how this work is far from a simple snapshot of Naples in 1582.

more
Today we are surrounded by maps of all sorts. As a result of their integration into everyday practices, cartographic images have become ever more ubiquitous and accessible. This pervasiveness has made the map the privileged medium for interrogating the transformation of our spatial consciousness and geographical imagination. But what is the relationship between our conceptions of spatiality and the medium of the map? And what does it mean to read the history od space through the lens of cartography?
The essays of this volume converge upon a fundamental point: a medium not only mediates between two or more elements but also remediates by appropriating the techniques, forms and social significance of other media.

Wie blickt die Welt auf Europa? In welchen Konstellationen entsteht was für ein 'Europawissen' – und wie wird es formal, motivisch, materiell oder technisch ins Bild gesetzt? Solchen und weiteren Fragen geht dieses Buch anhand von 30 Objekten nach, die einen Zeitraum vom Alten Ägypten bis in die Gegenwart abdecken und geografisch einmal um den Globus reichen. Die in den Fallstudien erarbeiteten Fremdbilder stehen den weitaus häufiger diskutierten Selbstbildern Europas zur Seite und tragen so zu einer vielschichtigen Gesamtsicht bei, die nicht zuletzt unsere Eigenwahrnehmung neu zu justieren hilft.

Digital models help to visualize complexities heretofore unapproachable through more conventional methods of art history. The seductive qualities of these models—which tend to transcend those of words—are increasingly untempered by their digital and thus potentially alien nature. Modeling technologies—including, but not limited to, GIS, photogrammetry, laser scanning, VR, AR, or BIM—can assist not only in visualizing, but also in measuring, reconstructing and, thus, analyzing works of art and architecture. With the use of these tools come both challenges and opportunities. Furthermore, the interdisciplinarity of digital approaches invites diverse conventions, and as the media used for digital visualizations are adopted across disciplines and their hermeneutics contested, the resulting epistemes are naturally hybrid. The authors of this volume present and discuss their ongoing projects in art and architectural history involving 3D-modeling. The aim of this collection, stemming from a workshop held in December 2020 at the Bibliotheca Hertziana, is to pose some of the most pressing questions about the process of visualizing artistic complexities.

more
This volume presents the results on an ongoing research about the use of digital humanities methods for analyzing spatial meanings in Renaissance texts and maps, specifically focusing on Flavio Biondo’s Italia illustrata. The authors use computational and corpus-driven text and map analysis, as well as cognitive anthropology and gestalt theory, to identify and visualize spatial concepts encoded in historical maps and texts. They aim to discover sources and provide a cognitive map for readers by encoding information in a way that helps readers understand spatial information. The text also discusses the plurality of spaces and the changing perspectives of spatial concepts over time, particularly from the Renaissance to the digital age.

more
The Mediterranean is a historical space that needs many skills to be interpreted and narrated, as many as the expertise gathered in this volume, with particular reference to the events of the great basin in the early Middle Ages. At that juncture, the southern Tyrrhenian Sea played a crucial role, as a hinge between the great powers of universalist aspiration. Moreover, the western coast of the Mezzogiorno, from Latium down to Campania, condenses the expression of terri -torial entities with a diversified identity, configuring itself as a lively cultural laboratory and an exemplary sample of the issues and potentialities that affected the Mare nostrum between the 8th and 10th centuries. The entry onto the scene of new groups, political and religious instances is most conspicuously reflected in the material cultures of the time, investigated in a synergetic manner by the historical disciplines. Among these testimonies, architectural culture translates power dynamics and the transit of ideas in historical space on a monumental scale and in an enduring 'support'. Interrogating the traces of those lost scenarios, crossing the questions against the backdrop of the south-western Mediterranean, opens up an unprecedented glimpse into the intertwining of the nature of places and human events in the coastal environment.

Il cinema può raccontarci che cos'è un confine? Da Ventimiglia a Lampedusa, dal porto di Bari a quello di Tirana, attraverso l’antica città di Pompei e il tunnel di Lötschberg, questo volume mette in luce il funzionamento del cinema come macchina mitopoietica che interviene sullo spazio geografico. Tramite una lettura ravvicinata di sei titoli del cinema italiano dagli anni Cinquanta ad oggi, spaziando dal melodramma neorealista al documentario contemporaneo, si costruisce un duplice percorso analizzando tanto i fenomeni migratori quanto le forme della messa in scena. L’intreccio tra approccio cartografico e sguardo filmico aiuta a elaborare le storia della Penisola da luogo di partenza a contesto di arrivo e, di pari passo, la metamorfosi dei generi e degli stili cinematografici. Ognuno dei film qui trattati rappresenta una specifica geografia della migrazione oltre quella mostrata dai mezzi di mappatura convenzionali.

Espressione di valori economici, estetici e culturali, le opere d’arte sono da sempre esposte alle dinamiche di collezionismo e mercato, sottostando a cambiamenti di luogo e di proprietà. Cosa accade, però, nel caso di opere di grandi dimensioni, arredi fissi e complessi monumentali, che per loro stessa natura non sarebbero separabili dal contesto originale per cui sono stati creati? Il portale medievale di San Nicolò a San Gemini, esposto al Metropolitan Museum of Art di New York e sostituito in situ da una copia, è il punto di partenza di questa raccolta di studi in cui si confrontano due mondi: contesti di provenienza e realtà museali di conservazione, vecchio e nuovo continente, originale e copia. Nell’indagare per la prima volta in maniera sistematica il fenomeno delle alienazioni monumentali nella prima metà del Novecento, questo libro propone un dialogo interdisciplinare attorno al significato del luogo come ambiente conservativo e fattore interpretativo dell’opera d’arte e alla percezione sociale, giuridica e intellettuale della sua rimozione.

more
Per buona parte del Novecento la storia dell’arte è stata condizionata dal pregiudizio filosofico in favore dell’Idea che ha ridotto i materiali a un anti-valore, relegandoli all’ambito esclusivo dei restauratori. La storiografia internazionale degli ultimi decenni ha ribaltato questa visione, ponendo i materiali al centro della riflessione. I saggi raccolti in questo volume intendono proporre un percorso nella storia dell’arte in Italia meridionale dal Medioevo al Novecento, letta attraverso il filtro della materialità, intesa non soltanto come insieme di risorse primarie e condizionanti della produzione artistica e architettonica del territorio, ma anche e soprattutto come medium attraverso il quale sono stati plasmati e fusi modelli culturali, competenze tecniche, istanze di rappresentazione politica, sociale, ideologica e religiosa. Fino a che punto i materiali esprimono nessi con il contesto geologico e l’ambiente naturale? Come si relazionano al passato di un luogo? Come contribuiscono alla creazione dell’identità collettiva? Intorno a questi interrogativi ruotano i casi discussi nel libro, che si collocano in una prospettiva di lunga durata, il secondo millennio dell’era cristiana, durante il quale l’Italia meridionale ha preso forma in quanto entità distinta dal resto della Penisola. Ne risulta un quadro variegato in cui la materialità si propone come strumento interpretativo in grado di sovvertire categorie storiografiche precostituite e di svelare il rapporto indissolubile tra arte, materia e società.

Mit der Vorstellung vom Stil als Eigentum verbindet sich die Hoffnung, Exklusivitätsrechte auf ererbte, erlernte, gekaufte, geborgte, geschenkte oder auch gestohlene Epochen-, National- oder Individualstile geltend machen zu können. Da sich der stets unscharfe und relationale Stilbegriff gleichwohl nur bedingt juristisch einhegen lässt, ist das Recht auf den Stil vor allem  in historiografischen, ethischen oder ideologischen Diskursen ausgefochten worden.
