Ars nova

Ars nova (Latin: new art) refers to a musical style which flourished in France and the Burgundian Low Countries in the Late Middle Ages: more particularly, in the period between the preparation of the Roman de Fauvel (1310s) and the death of the composer Guillaume de Machaut in 1377. The term is sometimes used more generally to refer to all European polyphonic music of the 14th century. For instance "Italian ars nova" is sometimes used to denote the music of Francesco and his compatriots; however, Trecento music is the more common term for music in Italy). The "ars" in "ars nova" can be read as "technique", or "style". The term was first used in two musical treatises, titled Ars novae musicae (New Technique of Music) (c. 1320) by Johannes de Muris, and a collection of writings attributed to Philippe de Vitry often simply called "Ars nova" today (c. 1322). However, the term was only first used to describe an historical era by Johannes Wolf in 1904.

The term "ars nova" is often used in juxtaposition to another term, "ars antiqua", which refers to the music of the immediately preceding age, usually extending back to take in the period of Notre Dame polyphony (therefore covering the period from about 1170 to 1320). Roughly, then, the "ars antiqua" is the music of the thirteenth century, and the "ars nova" the music of the fourteenth; many music histories use the terms in this more general sense.

Early Netherlandish painting

Early Netherlandish painting refers to the work of artists, sometimes known as the Flemish Primitives, active in the Burgundian and Habsburg Netherlands during the 15th- and 16th-century Northern Renaissance; especially in the flourishing cities of Bruges, Ghent, Tournai and Brussels. Their work follows the International Gothic style and begins approximately with Robert Campin and Jan van Eyck in the early 1420s. It lasts at least until the death of Gerard David in 1523, although many scholars extend it to the start of the Dutch Revolt in 1566 or 1568. Early Netherlandish painting coincides with the Early and High Italian Renaissance but is seen as an independent artistic culture, separate from the Renaissance humanism that characterised developments in Italy. Because these painters represent the culmination of the northern European medieval artistic heritage and the incorporation of Renaissance ideals, they are sometimes categorised as belonging to both the Early Renaissance and Late Gothic.

    [Un cadavre repose dans son sang, une vision figée dans le temps; Profanation de l'âme d'un mourant, L'utilisation de la mort pour la gloire de l'argent. Et certains osent appeler ça de l'art.]
    [DM-] A BLOODY HAND COLLAPSED
    ON THE SOILED GROUND
    IT`S FLUID OF LIFE STREAMING
    THROUGH THE EARTH`S ENTRAILS
    A GOOD ANGLE IS NOT A PROBLEM TO CATCH
    THOSE EXPRESSIONS THAT WILL LAST
    PERFECT MODELS FOR THE EXPOSURE
    BUT IN AN ART GALLERY
    WHY DON`T THEY LET THOSE CORPSES DISAPPEAR
    'CAN'T CALL THIS IMMORTALITY
    [DM+FM-] ARS NOVA, DESECRATION
    ARS NOVA, NORMALIZATION ATTEMPT
    [DM-] THEY WANT TO SEE THEMSELVES AS ARTISTS
    WITH THE FINEST AESTHETIC
    BUT I SEE THIS AS VANDALISM
    WITH NO RESPECT FOR THE DYING
    PRIVILEGE OF SOME PHOTOGRAPHIES
    SACRILEGE OF WHAT THEY SEE
    PRIVILEGE OF SOME ATROCITIES
    DESECRATION
