Association pour la generalisation de l'Inventaire regional en Picardie Die Kathedrale Notre-Dame in Senlis: (Oise)
Book SynopsisAls die Kathedrale von Senlis im dritten Viertel des 12. Jh. errichted wird, ist es fur die Konigsstadt Senlis das "goldene Zeitalter". Das verhaltnismassig kleine Bauwerk, das im 13. und 16. Jh. stark verandert wird, nimmt im Vergleich zu anderen Kathedralen einen bescheidenen Rang ein. Auch wenn ihm die Harmonie und Einheitlichkeit der gleichzeitig errichteten Kathedralen von Noyon und Laon oder das gigantische Ausmass von Amiens fehlt, so ist es dennoch ein wichtiges Bauwerk, an dem alle gotischen Stilrichtungen vertreten sind. Ausserdem besitzt die Kathedrale eine besondere Ausschmuckung, die dank der Restaurierung von 1987 erneut zur Geltung kommt. Die zahlreichen Ausstattungsgegenstande stammen aus allen Epochen der Kunstgeschichte. Durch zeitgenossische Werke, wie Farbenfenster und Hauptaltar, erlebt der Besucher die Kathedrale als ein Bauwerk voller Leben.

Association pour la generalisation de l'Inventaire regional en Picardie Laon. Ville Haute (Aisne)
Book SynopsisLa ville de Laon a laisse glisser jusqu'au bas des pentes de son plateau les quertiers modernes devolus au logement de la majorite de ses habitants, aux voies de communication, et aux echanges. Le mouvement y a remplace les cultures maraicheres, mais ce n'est pas la la ville que l'on remarque. Emergence dans le relief si doux du Bassin Parisien, la brusque surprise nait de la cite medievale, epargnee par les destructions massives du XXe siecle, drapee dans ses pans de verdure et l'echarpe petrifiee de ses remparts d'oA' ne pointe nulle fleche. Laon est une ville au front carre. Le reseau dense, fantaisiste mais harmonieux de ses portes, maisons et hotels, court entre les temoins et les maitres de son prestigieux passe, poses comme des serre-livres a ses extremites: l'ancienne cathedrale Notre Dame a nulle autre pareille, la citadelle et l'abbaye Saint-Jean a l'est, l'abbaye Saint-Martin et l'abbaye Saint-Vincent a l'ouest et au sud, veillent toujours, avec d'autres fonctions, sur la cite religieuse et royale, le bourg fourmillant, et leurs confins aeres. En cet espace soigneusement delimite, celui qui prend la peine de se laisser conduire voit se derouler devant ses yeux huit siecles de vie urbaine et d'art de batir.

Park Books Lower Austria: The Architectural Landscape 1848
Book SynopsisLower Austria is not only the country's largest federal state, its beautiful and varied landscape also makes it a popular tourist destination. Many of its pretty towns and villages are only a short journey from Austria's capital Vienna. This new architecture guidebook features a vast selection of significant buildings from the late 19th and early 20th century in this region. Arranged by typology, they are documented with historic and new photographs, plans, brief descriptions and key information. The seven decades between the Austrian revolution in 1848 and the end of the Great War in 1918 were a period of fundamental changes in society, politics, economy and technology that also had a major impact on architecture and construction. Between the accession of Emperor Franz Josef I and the fall of the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy, manorialism was abolished; public administration on all levels of state was modernised and created a whole new social class of civil servants; the construction of railways and industrialisation brought an unprecedented economic boom; and escaping the crowded metropolis for a summer house in the countryside became fashionable among the aristocrats and the nouveaux-riche. Many of the famous Vienna-based architects of the time were commissioned with designs for all sorts of public and private projects also in provincial towns and villages.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Jewish Art in Its Late Antique Context
Book SynopsisThe contributions to this volume examine the emergence of ancient Jewish art from the interdisciplinary perspective of scholars in Art and Archaeology, Ancient Judaism and Rabbinics, Patristics and Church History. They evaluate the manifold ways in which late antique and early Byzantine Jewish art was embedded in its Hellenistic and Roman cultural context by, at the same time, evincing specifically Jewish and local Near Eastern idiosyncrasies. Since the Graeco-Roman context was shared with early Christian art, some formal similarities are recognizable, whereas the meanings associated with the images would have differed. A study of the relationship between the literary sources (the Hebrew Bible, Jewish Hellenistic and rabbinic literature) and the artistic depictions is crucial for a proper understanding of ancient Jewish art. Similarly important are the artistic analogies appearing in Graeco-Roman and early Christian contexts. Of particular interest is the question why Jewish figurative art developed in the Land of Israel in late antiquity only: which political, social, economic, religious and cultural constellations may have led to the emergence of figurative art? How do these images relate to biblical commandments advocating aniconism and what would rabbis have made of them? Was Erwin Goodenough correct about a dichotomy between "popular" synagogue art and an aniconic rabbinic Judaism? The Jewish use of images with analogies in pagan (and sometimes also Christian) contexts is particularly striking: what led Jews to adopt images such as the zodiac and pagan mythological figures and scenes and how were they combined with images based on biblical narratives? The volume shows how an interdisciplinary approach leads to a better understanding not only of ancient Jewish, but of Graeco-Roman and Christian art as well.
