Journée d’étude : « ‘La maraviglia del mondo’. Leandro Bassano (1557-1622) », Venise/en ligne, Fondazione Giorgio Cini, 3-5 juillet 2024

Nella sua “Breve Istruzione” (1674), Marco Boschini ha descritto Leandro Dal Ponte, detto Bassano (1557-1622), come “la maraviglia del mondo”. In Leandro, quarto figlio del ben più famoso Jacopo (c. 1510-1592), troviamo un artista che ha caratterizzato in modo decisivo il passaggio dal Cinquecento al Seicento a Venezia, unico artista delle quattro generazioni di botteghe bassanesi a discostarsi chiaramente dallo stile del padre, malgrado ne abbia ripetuto in certa misura motivi e repertori figurativi. Sviluppò...

Conférence : Denis Ribouillault, « Calypso’s Grotto: Art, Nature, and the Metamorphic Power of Love », Munich/en ligne, Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte, 3 juillet 2024

The lecture will focus on the theme of Calypso’s Grotto in early modern art. This mythical place sung by Homer in the Odyssey has been the subject of numerous interpretations in the visual arts and garden design, touching on issues such as the relationship between art and nature, illusion and imagination, and their relation to amorous passion. The aim of this lecture is to take a fresh look at certain aspects neglected by Panofsky’s iconology...

Since 2020, the Moll Institute (Madrid) and the Périer-D’Ieteren Foundation (Brussels) have been conducting a research program aimed at identifying and studying the art that developed in Flanders and Burgundy from the 15th to the 17th centuries, which is still preserved in Spanish collections. As part of this collaboration, in 2023, a series of study sessions began to be held to share, deepen, and disseminate the work of specialists in the field. The 2023 study...

Exposition : « Faszination Rom. Maarten van Heemskerck zeichnet die Stadt », Berlin, Kulturforum, 26 avril-4 août 2024

The Kupferstichkabinett Berlin owns two spectacular albums with around 160 drawings by the Dutch artist Maarten van Heemskerck (1498–1574), executed in Rome between 1532 and 1536/37. During these years he wandered through the city, visited collections of antiquities, made pilgrimages to the holy sites, and filled his sketchbook with drawings. These include wide panoramas and city views as well as studies of ancient ruins and sculptures. In this way, he compiled an extensive stock of...

Appel à contribution : « La carte, ‘ œil de l’histoire ’ (XVIe-XVIIIe siècle) », Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, 8 octobre 2024, date limite le 15 mai 2024

Selon le cartographe anversois Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598), la géographie est «  l’œil de l’histoire  », reprenant une expression déjà courante et en passe de devenir un véritable topos décliné en diverses formulations dans les siècles suivants. Cette expression illustre le lien étroit qui unit histoire et géographie, tout en posant une relation d’inféodation de la seconde par la première. Dans cette perspective, la géographie est perçue comme une discipline auxiliaire à l’histoire et un instrument utile à sa...

Conférence : Peter Mason, « Ulisse Aldrovandi Naturalist and Collector », Londres/en ligne, Warburg Institute, 19 avril 2024

Renaissance Lives – Ulisse Aldrovandi Naturalist and Collector Peter Mason in conversation with David Lines (Warwick) The Bolognese naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi was a prolific writer, polymath and prodigious collector who amassed the largest collection of naturalia in sixteenth-century Europe, as well as hundreds of coloured drawings detailing them. Many of these drawings found their way into his illustrated publications, most of which were published posthumously.
This book provides a concise yet comprehensive portrait of Aldrovandi, paying...

Journée d’étude : « Del regalo a la almoneda », Madrid, Facultad de Geografía e Historia, 11-12 avril 2024

En octubre de 1524, Giulio Romano fue llamado desde Roma a Mantua para convertirse en el artista de corte predilecto de la familia Gonzaga. Allí diseñó arquitecturas efímeras y permanentes, como el famoso Palazzo Te, un hito en la nueva cultura cortesana del deleite, heredera de los modelos romanos. Además, formuló nuevas propuestas para entender la pintura mural y diseñó ricas piezas de orfebrería que acompañaban banquetes y espectáculos tanto en el Palacio Ducal como...

Appel à contribution : « Playing Fools? The Art of the Jester in Modern Europe », Charenton/Paris, Médiathèque du Patrimoine et de la Photographie/Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art/Musée du Louvre, 18-20 novembre 2024, date limite le 1er avril 2024

The jester is a paradoxical figure: a subordinate included in elite social circles. Thus, he is an outsider, albeit a remarkably proficient one. Jesters, comprising fools, dwarfs, and other “monsters” – both men and women, often with disabilities – are itinerant, travelling from one court to another or from the precursors of psychiatric hospitals to the realms of royalty. Examining the jesters’ craft – as virtuosos and outsiders – provides an innovative perspective on European...
