Conférences : « Ordinary People: Paintings and Prints of Everyday Life from Bruegel to Hopper », Londres/en ligne, The Courtauld, 3 octobre-5 décembre 2023

This series of lectures explores the representation of everyday life in Western art from the sixteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Compared with the narrative complexities and learned references of history painting, the art of everyday life appears uncomplicated, and itself often contributed to the fiction of an unmediated representation of the ‘here and now’. Particularly in the early modern period, this art was widely characterised by an exceptional naturalism, or even illusionism that signalled...

Appel à contribution : « ‘Nor thou nor thy religion dost controule, The amorousnesse of an harmonious Soule’: Rethinking Devotional Works and Practices in the British Isles (16th-18th c.) », Nanterre, Université Paris Nanterre, 3-4 avril 2025, date limite le 30 septembre 2023

When John Donne published Devotions upon Emergent Occasions in 1624, he followed in the footsteps of a long tradition of devotional publications. Four hundred years later the concerns voiced by the English poet still resonate and invite one to think about the evolution and legacy of devotional works which have never ceased to appeal to both devout practitioners and lay readers alike. Such works convey the strong and complex nature of the relationship that the...

Where the land meets the sea. Coastal towns and cities as nodes of mediation in a global era Panel Organizers: Antje Kempe (University of Greifswald, IFZO) Frank Rochnow (Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg) Following the assumption that urbanisation, globalisation and the Anthropocene created new categories and paradigms of borders the panel seeks to shed light on the question how the sea is perceived, narrated, mediated in the build environment of coastal towns and cities since...

Appel à contributions : « Paysages-catastrophes (XVIe-XXIe s.) : ce que les changements climatiques font au paysage », Genève, villa Boninchi, date limite le 15 octobre 2023

Il se focalise sur les mécanismes par lesquels catastrophes, tant naturelles...

Appel à communication : « Paysages-catastrophes (XVI e-XXI e s.): l’urbain à l’épreuve du désastre », Université de Montréal, date limite le 15 octobre 2023

L’urbanisation de la société humaine peut être perçue de manière générale comme un processus à la fois commercial, idéologique et industriel, nourri par un désir continu, organique et progressiste, de produire une totalité habitée au sein de laquelle l’humain entretient des liens économiques, politiques ou culturels. Mais cette même urbanisation relève aussi d’une pulsion symbolique : celle qui consiste à produire un habitat qui, à la différence du monde rural, rassemble un nombre considérable d’individus...

Conférence : Alexander Marr, « Three Renaissance Grotesques: Holbein, Dürer, Massys  », Oxford, University of Oxford, 27 septembre 2023

Magdalen College, University of Oxford Grove Auditorium (entry via Longwall Street) 27 September 2023, 5pm  The Renaissance grotesque is normally thought of as an ornamental art of the margins: fantastical rather than natural, supplementary instead of central. But what if we were to approach a core subject in the rise of naturalism, the Northern Renaissance portrait, on grotesque terms? This lecture will re-assess three well-known portraits—Hans Holbein the Younger’s Derich Born, Albrecht Dürer’s St Jerome in his...

Workshop : « Past and Present Representations of Historical Urban Spaces (Middle Ages – Early Modern Times) », Dubrovnik, 21-23 septembre 2023

Historic cities are reconstructed and represented in numerous different projects around the world, whereby the hermeneutics of the procedure are not addressed enough. This workshop aims to discuss historical representations of urban spaces (in the late Middle Ages and Early Modern times) in comparison with the representations of these spaces in digital art history, focusing on the relationships between precision and interpretation. All historical representations, comprising maps, drawings, vedute, narrative texts and archival documents, were...

Appel à contribution : « Commemoration and the Senses in Late Medieval Europe », Leeds, University of Leeds, 3-6 juillet 2024, date limite le 24 septembre 2023

In the lesser-known treatise De cura pro mortuis gerenda, Augustine of Hippo argued that tombs, when located in beautiful surroundings, are particularly powerful tools to incite genuine experiences of prayer in the mourner. Though writing in late antiquity, Augustine’s words would be echoed in several late medieval texts concerning commemoration, as a myriad of sensorial experiences was thought to be an integral component of the commemoration of deceased individuals. The ensemble of funerary art was...

Parution : Elizabeth Bernhardt, “Genevra Sforza and the Bentivoglio”, Amsterdam, Amsterdam University Press, 2023

Genevra Sforza (ca. 1441-1507) lived her long life near the apex of Italian Renaissance society as wife of two successive de facto rulers of Bologna: Sante Bentivoglio then Giovanni II Bentivoglio. Placed there twice without a dowry by Duke Francesco Sforza as part of a larger Milanese plan, Genevra served the Bentivoglio by fulfilling the gendered role demanded of her by society, most notably by contributing eighteen children, accepting many illegitimates born to Giovanni II,...
