Conférence : Caspar Pearson, « Alberti in Florence. Painting and the Machinery of the State », Florence, Palazzo Grifoni Budini Gattai, 12 juillet 2022, 18h

In the mid-1430s, Leon Battista Alberti produced two crucially important texts: the Della famiglia and the De pictura. This paper explores some aspects of these works, paying particular attention to the ways in which they overlap with each other. In doing so, it considers how Alberti might be understood to have brought a pictorial or perspectival form of thinking to bear upon his discussions of the family and the city. It also examines his ambivalent...

Parution : C. Carman, « Leon Battista Alberti and Nicholas Cusanus. Towards an Epistemology of Vision for Italian Renaissance Art and Culture », Routledge, 2021

Providing a fresh evaluation of Alberti’s text On Painting (1435), along with comparisons to various works of Nicholas Cusanus – particularly his Vision of God (1450) – this study reveals a shared epistemology of vision. And, the author argues, it is one that reflects a more deeply Christian Neoplatonic ideal than is typically accorded Alberti. Whether regarding his purpose in teaching the use of a geometric single point perspective system, or more broadly in rendering...

Conférence : Carlo Severi, « “Parer Vivo”, Agency, and Perspective. A Proposal for the Anthropology of Western Art », Florence, I Tatti, le 24 octobre 2019 à 18h

Leon Battista Alberti wrote in De Pictura that all painting using the method of perspective must exhibit “parer vivo” the appearance of life in the image. If the artist achieves this goal, the figures will show not only an accurate image of reality but also the “movements of the soul” that confirm the presence of life. Deeply rooted in the notion of perspective, “parer vivo” is distinct from the geometric rules for composing the image, decoding depth,...

Colloque : « The Power of Arts, The Power of Fame: The Extraordinary Renaissance Court of Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, Lord of Rimini », UCLA, J. Paul Getty Museum, 26-27 janvier 2018

Although not as well-known as other prominent families such as the Medici, Visconti, or Borgia, the Malatesta of Rimini, especially during the leadership of Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta (1417-1468), occupy a central position in the history of the Italian Renaissance. Gifted with great military skill and a profound sensibility for the arts, the “wolf of Rimini” became the epitome of the “man” of the Renaissance. The great Swiss historian Jakob Burckhardt, in his influential The Civilization...
