Out now: Ornamenta Sacra. Late Medieval and Early Modern Liturgical Objects in a European Context, eds. Ralph Dekoninck, Marie-Christine Claes and Barbara Baert (Art & Religion), Peeters Publishers, 2022. This volume is dedicated to the study of late medieval and early modern liturgical objects, once known as ornamenta sacra.
In February-March 2024 Barbara Baert is invited professor by Stéphane Toussaint at the Centre André Chastel.
Using unique and expertly developed cases – from prehistoric cave paintings up to the meaning of rain in photography and cinema – Barbara Baert’s book casts new light on a theme that is both ecological and iconological, both natural and cultural-historical.
