The 16th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age University of Pennsylvania and Free Library of Philadelphia A great deal of recent research has focused on the objecthood of the pre-modern book and its associated materiality. But only sporadic attempts have been made to understand the role of visual representations of the book in conveying ideas about knowledge. How can our understanding be transformed when the dictum that “a picture...

Journées d’étude : « The Allure of Rome: Studying Ancient Architecture 1500 – 1550 », Rome, The British School/en ligne, 26-27 octobre 2023

The buildings of antiquity, especially those in Rome, were of fundamental interest to Renaissance architects over the course of the first half of the sixteenth century. During a very few decades, numerous works were surveyed and recorded, often for the first time, and in ever more exacting detail and with ever greater sophistication, among them Rome’s Colosseum and Pantheon and very many other prominent monuments. This great achievement not only provided a touchstone for contemporary...

Parution : Henri de Riedmatten, Fabio Gaffo, Mathilde Jaccard (eds.), « Restoration as Fabrication of Origins: A Material and Political History of Italian Renaissance Art », English/French (Open Access), Berlin/Boston: De Gruyter, 2023

The aim of this publication is to clarify the relationships between material restoration and politics in Italian Renaissance art. The focus of this research is on the question of origin as a foothold for political, patrimonial, and cultural identity. These claims were enacted within a system which, rather than restoring the initial forms and meanings of existing objects, remodeled the past according to new identity requirements: spaces were reorganized, and works of art invested with...

Like the Ba, the ghost of ancient Egypt haunts the collective memory in an eternal return and by reflecting itself in the changing mirror of history. Immortal Egypt is a series of international workshops devoted to the way artists looked at the land of the pharaohs –...

Conférence : Claudia Daniotti, « Magnanimous King. The Reception of Alexander the Great in Renaissance Italian Art », Londres, The Courtauld, 13 février 2023

Very few figures in history have produced such fascination over the centuries as Alexander the Great. His name, it has been rightly said, “had the spell of youth and glory”, and his captivating figure was re-shaped again and again for two thousand years, with each age creating its own Alexander. In medieval Europe, the ancient commander was turned into a god-like creature, a fearless explorer, a chivalrous knight. The Italian tradition is no exception to...

Parution : « Dignité des Artes. Promotion et évolution des arts libéraux de l’Antiquité à la Renaissance », éd. A. Lamy, A. Raffarin, E. Séris, Paris, Honoré Champion, 2022

L’objet des rencontres qui se sont tenues en mars et octobre 2019 au château d’Écouen et à la Sorbonne était de retracer quelques grandes étapes de la promotion et de l’évolution des artes de l’Antiquité à la Renaissance. En effet, la notion d’ars émerge progressivement dès l’époque hellénistique pour aboutir au...
