Parution : Anne-Sophie Pellé, « Aemulatio Italorum. La réception culturelle des gravures de Mantegna dans l’art germanique au temps d’Albrecht Dürer », Turnhout, Brepols, 2022

À la Renaissance, si le medium de la gravure permet désormais aux artistes de rivaliser entre eux à distance, dès la fin du xve siècle, la diffusion des modèles gravés par l’atelier du prestigieux peintre de cour des marquis de Mantoue, Andrea Mantegna, a suscité sur le territoire germanique une véritable émulation d’ordre culturelle, dans laquelle la question du rapport à l’identité occupe une place fondamentale. Dès lors, dans les images, deux paradigmes se dessinent :...

Exposition : « Before Dürer », Francfort-sur-le-Main, Städel Museum, du 28 septembre 2022 au 22 janvier 2023

In the fifteenth century, even before the invention of letterpress printing with movable type, the first techniques for printing images were developed. The woodcut led the way, with the technically more complex engraving following close on its heels. Emerging around 1430/40 from the gold engraving craft, the engraving not only provided a further method of reproducing religious and secular images, but also offered new artistic possibilities. Early on, for example, the Master E. S. (active...

Exposition : “Rhinoceros – a fabulous animal works on paper from three centuries”, Nuremberg, Germanisches Nationalmuseum, du 21 juillet 2022 au 26 juillet 2023

The studio exhibition presents images of the rhinoceros on paper from three centuries. This period saw the transformation from a creature of the imagination to a realistically-depicted animal. In 1500, almost no-one in Europe had ever actually seen a rhinoceros, and the legendary creature was associated with myth and many stories. It was considered wild, dangerous and the elephant’s natural enemy, but also exotically fascinating, testimony to an unknown world. Two images, in particular, were...

Conférence : Oskar Bätschmann, « Form- und Inhaltsanalyse. Wölfflin und Panofsky über Dürer », Munich, Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte, 6 juillet 2022, 18h15-18h45

1911 hob Heinrich Wölfflin in der Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften den „formal-analytischen Gesichtspunkt“ seines Dürer-Buches hervor. Im Vorwort zu Hercules am Scheideweg (1930) wies Erwin Panofsky auf die Untrennbarkeit von Form- und Inhaltsanalyse hin und berief sich ausdrücklich auf Wölfflins Ausführung zu Leonardos Abendmahl, die grundsätzlich aufs „Formale“ eingestellt sei und dennoch deutlich mache, wie gerade ein ikonographischer Vergleich die stilgeschichtliche Bedeutung der Lösung Leonardos erscheinen lasse. Panofsky bezeichnete 1924 die Wölfflin’schen Grundbegriffe als die...

Exposition : “Hans Hoffmann. A European artist of the Renaissance”, Nuremberg, German National Museum, du 12 mai au 8 août 2022

  Nuremberg citizen and European artist: Hans Hoffmann (ca. 1545/50 – 1591/92) is considered one of the leading lights of the “Duerer Renaissance”. His artistic reputation is based on his numerous copies of works by the old master. Imitation was not a practice he alone specialised in, however; rather, it was part of a European art phenomenon which reached its peak in around 1600. In comparing the work of Hoffmann with that of Duerer and...

Exposition : “Albrecht Dürer – Gravure et Renaissance”, Chantilly, Château de Chantilly, du 4 juin au 2 octobre 2022

Pour la première fois, deux collections majeures d’œuvres de Dürer en France, celle du musée Condé à Chantilly...

Parution : Sara van Dijk, “Remember Me: Renaissance Portraits”, Rotterdam, NAI010 publishers, 2022

  How Renaissance Old Masters expanded the terms and vocabulary of portraiture In the Renaissance, artists across Europe produced lifelike portraits with new virtuoso realism and exactitude, immortalizing not only kings and noblemen but, increasingly, bankers, merchants and scholars. These paintings, busts, prints and drawings still bear witness to the power, status, ambitions, friendships and religious convictions of their subjects. Whether they are lovers, celebrities or religious devotees, the people portrayed here implore the onlookers...
