Everhard Jabach (1618-1695) fut l’un des plus grands collectionneurs de son temps. Marchand-banquier issu d’une puissante famille de Cologne, il s’installa très tôt à Paris, où il lia son destin à celui de la monarchie française en devenant l’un des acteurs majeurs de la politique économique de Colbert. La vente de sa somptueuse collection à Louis XIV en 1662 et 1671 signa l’acte inaugural d’une véritable collection royale de tableaux et de dessins. Si Jabach s’est avant tout intéressé à l’art italien, à l’instar des autres grands collectionneurs de l’époque, la qualité exceptionnelle de sa collection nordique – où abondent les œuvres de Dürer, Holbein, Lucas de Leyde, Van Orley, Bril, Rubens ou Van Dyck – mérite toute notre attention. Elle révèle la singularité du collectionneur, qui, bien qu’installé à Paris, a toujours maintenu des -contacts avec sa ville et son pays d’origine. Son appartenance à de vastes réseaux marchands reliant les principales places économiques de l’Europe du Nord, de Londres à Amsterdam en passant par Anvers, offrait à cet amateur cosmopolite une position particulièrement favorable pour drainer vers Paris les plus belles pièces des écoles allemandes et flamandes disponibles sur le marché de l’art. Dans les luttes d’influences, dans la concurrence entre les marchands, collectionneurs et financiers qui se jouaient à l’échelle européenne, la collection Jabach symbolise ainsi l’acmé du rayonnement français. Les chefs-d’œuvre réunis dans cet ouvrage illustrent l’importance de ce collectionneur hors du commun qui, ambassadeur de l’art nordique auprès du roi et de ses peintres, contribua à forger le goût des amateurs français pour les écoles du Nord. Un Allemand à la cour de Louis XIV – De Dürer à Van Dyck, la collection nordique de Jabach est le catalogue de l’exposition qui se tiendra au musée du Louvre, salles Sully, du 19 juin au 16 septembre 2013. Cet ouvrage est publié en coédition avec le musée du Louvre.

The most important architects of his time entrusted Jean Marot with their designs, and he knew how to give their ethereal ideas lasting tangibility. Which is precisely why Jean Marot's prints, documenting 17th century French architecture, are of immense value to architectural history. And until today, his work has mainly been reduced to the role of a service rendered. Kristina Deutsch's monograph is the first attempt to shift focus to the creative side of his work and sheds light on Marot's sometimes extraordinarily free interpretations of drawings by other artists. Based on his most significant series of prints -and especially his etchings regarding the Louvre - Deutsch makes a detailed presentation of the parameters that characterize the aesthetic presentation of a structure.

The Death of Louis XIV Death of Louis Xiv - BR 881164001054

Dominated by the ambitions of France's King Louis XIV, Europe in the years 1650-1715 witnessed a series of wars from which emerged many of the theories, practices, and technologies that characterize modern warfare. During this period, European armies evolved modern ideas of army organization and military leadership, as well as modern views of campaign strategy and battle tactics. As European soldiers and colonists moved into Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas, the practice or influence of their military techniques and ideas also affected wars fought in those places. In this volume's 1000 plus entries, an award-winning author of reference works on international relations and war describes and defines important events, technologies, and individuals from this seminal period of global military history.

Warfare dominated the long reign of the `Sun-king', Louis XIV. For forty years from 1672, France was continuously at war and had one of the largest armies seen in the West since the fall of imperial Rome. The campaigns secured little territory, but almost bankrupted the country and the consequences for the French monarchy were dramatic - contributing to its eventual downfall. John Lynn examines the wars for evidence of a coherent strategic policy; he explores the operational logistics of the campaigns; and considers their significance for France's diplomatic, political, mililtary, administrative and institutional This is the first modern, comprehensive study in any language, and offers a vivid insight into 17th and 18th century statesmanship and warfare - reaching a climax with the defeat of France by Marlborough at Blenheim.

A day in the life of France's King Louis XIV, focusing on the elaborate ceremonies which took place when he dressed in the morning, ate his meals, conducted affairs of state, entertained, and finally, when he prepared to go to bed at night

Who preceded whom? Who wore what? Which form of address should one use? One of the most striking aspects of the early modern period is the crucial significance that contemporaries ascribed to such questions. In this hierarchical world, status symbols did not simply mirror a pre-defined social and political order; rather, they operated as a key tool for defining and redefining identities, relations, and power. Centuries later, scholars face the twofold challenge of evaluating status interaction in an era where its open pursuit is no longer as widespread and legitimate, and of deciphering its highly sophisticated and often implicit codes. Status Interaction during the Reign of Louis XIV addresses this challenge by investigating status interaction - in dress as in address, in high ceremony and in everyday life - at one of its most important historical arenas: aristocratic society at the time of Louis XIV. By recovering actual practices on the ground based on a wide array of printed and manuscript sources, it transcends the simplistic view of a court revolving around the Sun King and reveals instead the multiple perspectives of contesting actors, stakes, and strategies. Demonstrating the wide-ranging implications of the phenomenon, macro-political as well as micro-political, this study provides a novel framework for understanding early modern action and agency.
