D’un simple espace d’inscription, il devient, dès le milieu du XVIe siècle, un espace de figuration imprégné des modèles de l’architecture et de la peinture. Placé au seuil du livre, il est également un lieu propice à un discours programmatique. Ainsi, cette porte d’entrée ou préface imagée du texte instruit le lecteur sur les savoirs contenus dans celui-ci mais cherche surtout à le séduire afin qu’il s’empare du livre. Cependant, au-delà d’une fonction strictement commerciale, le frontispice joue également un rôle de promotion politique, intellectuelle et artistique ; un rôle que cet article tente de démontrer à travers l’exemple, souvent méconnu, des traités de fortification.

Nous reviendrons sur la manière dont l’essor de la cartographie a changé le regard des artistes sur l’évènement historique et fait naître une nouvelle dualité dans la représentation de la guerre. De même que nous aborderons comment l’usage des procédés mathématiques a influencé leur conception du paysage, qui devient le véritable théâtre de la guerre de siège.
In this paper we aim to re-examine the relationship between painting and cartography through the genre of battle painting wich develops at the end of the XVIth century. We will return to the way the rise of cartography changed the artist’s view on the historical event and generated a new duality in the representation of war. Likewise we will address how using mathematical methods influenced their approach of the landscape wich becomes the real theatre of siege warefare.

L'article se veut une mise en lumière de celui-ci à travers l’étude des quatre tableaux figurant les sièges de la ville de Gravelines entre 1644 et 1658, leur relation au pouvoir et leur manière d’exprimer la théâtralité si chère au baroque.

Il aura comme objectif de conceptualiser les relations potentielles entre le parcours, la littérature, et l’architecture, et de réfléchir sur les possibilités, les limites et les défis du concept de parcours dans la recherche historique et théorique de l’architecture.

With their appearance on the market, scholars gave to the practical art of fortress building a theoretical approach that progressively raised military architecture from applied mechanics to a mathematical science. As a window to the knowledge contained in the book, frontispieces of fortification treatises turn out to be the most suitable place to expose the new status of military architecture and of the engineer, who also gained a more honourable standing.
Based on a few major case studies, this paper aims to highlight how those treatises circulated in early modern Europe and the role played by their title page to promote this new science of fortification.

Ma contribution présente l’ouvrage de Svetlana Alpers "The Art of Describing" (traduit en français pas "L’art de dépeindre") qui a renouvelé l’approche de la peinture hollandaise du 17e siècle et, plus personnellement, qui a marqué les recherches menées dans le cadre de mon mémoire sur la peinture de bataille topographique à travers la représentation des sièges de la ville de Gravelines. La communication est divisée en trois temps : présentation de l’ouvrage et de son auteure ainsi que le contexte historiographique dans lequel il s’inscrit ; focus sur le chapitre qui m’a particulièrement intéressé pour mes recherches « L’appel de la cartographie dans l’art hollandais » ; comment j’ai pu appliquer les théories d’Alpers à la peinture de bataille.

(eng) Among the paratext, the frontispiece has gone through the most significant development during the modern era. From a simple space of inscription, it becomes, from the middle of sixteenth century, a space of figuration inspired by architectural and pictorial models. Put at the threshold of the book, it is also conducive to programmatic discourse. Thus, this gateway or pictorial preface to the text is deployed to instruct the reader about the content of the book, but also to lure the customer into buying it. However, beyond this commercial strategy, the frontispiece also plays the role of political, intellectual and artistic promotion – a role that this article aims to demonstrate through the often overlooked example of fortification treatises.

Gateways to the Book investigates the complex image-text relationships between frontispieces and illustrated title pages with the following texts in European books published between 1500 and 1800. Although interest in this broad field of research has increased in the past decades, many varieties of title pages, many printers and books remain as yet unstudied.
The fifteen essays collected in this volume tackle this field from a great variety of academic approaches asking how the images can be interpreted, how the texts and contexts shape their interpretation and how they in turn shape the understanding of the text.
