The Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture

The Birth of the French School, 1648–1793

By: Christian Michel

The Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture (French Academy of Painting and Sculpture)—perhaps the single most influential art institution in history—governed the arts in France for more than 150 years, from its founding in 1648 until its abolition in 1793. Christian Michel's sweeping study presents an authoritative, in-depth analysis of the Académie’s history and legacy. The Académie Royale assembled nearly all of the important French artists working at the time, maintained a virtual monopoly on teaching and exhibitions, enjoyed a priority in obtaining royal commissions, and deeply influenced the artistic landscape in France. Yet the institution remains little understood today: all commentary on it, during its existence and since its abolition, is based on prejudices, both favorable and critical, that have shaped the way the institution has been appraised. This book takes a different approach. Rather than judging the Académie Royale, Michel unravels existing critical discourse to consider the nuances and complexities of the academy’s history, reexamining its goals, the shifting power dynamics both within the institution and in the larger political landscape, and its relationship with other French academies and guilds.

What the Moon saw

By: Hans Christian Andersen

I apologize for the previous confusion. "What the Moon Saw" is indeed a work by Hans Christian Andersen. Here's a brief summary of "What the Moon Saw" by Hans Christian Andersen: Title: What the Moon Saw Author: Hans Christian Andersen "What the Moon Saw" is a collection of travel sketches and essays written by Hans Christian Andersen. Unlike his more well-known fairy tales, this work is a departure into non-fiction, as Andersen shares his observations and reflections from his travels throughout Europe. In this collection, Andersen offers readers a glimpse into his personal experiences as he journeys through various European cities, towns, and landscapes. He provides vivid descriptions of the places he visits, the people he encounters, and the cultures he observes. These sketches are often marked by Andersen's keen sense of wonder and his ability to find beauty in the ordinary. The book also delves into Andersen's contemplative and philosophical side as he muses on life, art, and the human condition. His writings in "What the Moon Saw" offer readers a deeper insight into the mind of the famous Danish author beyond his fairy tales. Overall, "What the Moon Saw" provides a unique perspective on Hans Christian Andersen as a traveler and observer of the world, showcasing his talents not only as a storyteller but also as a chronicler of his own experiences.

Lectures on Art

Selected Conférences from the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, 1667-1772

By: Christian Michel, Jacqueline Lichtenstein

For the first time, a critical selection of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture’s highly influential conférences is available in English. Between 1667 and 1792, the artists and amateurs of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in Paris lectured on the Académie’s conférences, foundational documents in the theory and practice of art. These texts and the principles they embody guided artistic practice and art theory in France and throughout Europe for two centuries. In the 1800s, the Académie’s influence waned, and few of the 388 Académie lectures were translated into English. Eminent scholars Christian Michel and Jacqueline Lichtenstein have selected and annotated forty-two of the most representative lectures, creating the first authoritative collection of the conférences for readers of English. Essential to understanding French art of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, these lectures reveal what leading French artists looked for in a painting or sculpture, the problems they sought to resolve in their works, and how they viewed their own and others’ artistic practice.

Understanding the Religious Priesthood

History, Controversy, Theology

By: Christian, OSB Raab,Brian E., SJ Daley

Most contemporary theologies of Holy Orders consider priesthood mainly in its diocesan context and most contemporary theologies of religious life do not consider how ordained ministry functions when it is internal rather than external to religious life. Understanding the Religious Priesthood provides a history and theology of religious priesthood that contributes to our understanding of this vocation’s identity and mission. It uncovers what religious priesthood shares with diocesan priesthood and non-ordained religious life and what makes it different from both those other vocations. Christian Raab begins by tracing the history of religious priesthood from its origins in the early Church to the eve of the Second Vatican Council. He demonstrates that religious priests often faced questions about how to reconcile their two callings, but that they also provided answers in their theologies and spiritualities of priesthood and religious life. Meanwhile, they made key contributions to the Church’s life and mission. Raab then investigates the teachings of the Second Vatican Council on priesthood and religious life. Observing that the Council presented priesthood according to a diocesan typology and presented religious life without sacerdotal associations, he argues that the lack of imagery of religious priesthood contributed to a post-conciliar vocational identity crisis among religious priests. He then seeks to remedy this lacuna by appealing to the biblical images for religious priesthood Hans Urs von Balthasar offered in his theology of vocations. Raab argues that Balthasar’s imagery is a promising way forward for understanding the identity and mission of religious priesthood. In a final part, Raab provides a substantial theological articulation of religious priesthood which illuminates its liturgical signification, ecclesial mediation and mission, and ministerial identity. Here he draws not only from Balthasar but also from Pope John Paul II, Yves Congar, Jean-Marie Tillard, Brian Daley, and Guy Mansini to construct his profile.
