Parution : Vladimir Ivanovici, Alice Isabella Sullivan (dir.), « Natural Light in Medieval Churches », Leyde, Brill, 2022

Inside Christian churches, natural light has long been harnessed to underscore theological, symbolic, and ideological statements. In this volume, twenty-four international scholars with various specialties explore how the study of sunlight can reveal essential aspects of the design, decoration, and function of medieval sacred spaces. Themes covered include the interaction between patrons, advisors, architects, and artists, as well as local negotiations among competing traditions that yielded new visual and spatial constructs for which natural light...

Appel à contribution : « Visual and Material Cultures of Female Sanctity », Bamberg, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg, 13-14 juillet 2023, date limite le 28 février 2023

Two- and three-dimensional images of female saints are highly complex religious objects. They depict the saints in a wide variety of material and performative settings in which the women are richly gifted and preciously adorned. During their object history, these images have been subjected to repeated changes by multiple actors. Their formation as artefacts is inextricably linked to the developments of the cult of the saints as a social phenomenon (Peter Brown). In sophisticated ways,...

Officially founded in 1528 with the bull Religionis Zelus by Pope Clement VII, the Order of Capuchin Friars Minor lived the twenty years of transition preceding the Council of Trent imitating St Francis and his first companions through the preach and the education the of the young people.

Appel à contribution : « Rethinking Mary in Early Modern Europe. Women’s Voices and the Virgin Mary », Rome, Norwegian Institute, 22-23 juin 2023, date limite le 15 février 2023

The Virgin Mary is a crucial figure for Western culture and Christian worship, and has always been strictly connected to women and their status in society. A large amount of literature in Latin and the vernacular was written about Mary in early modern Italy and Europe, by both lay and religious men and women, representing her in different ways and with different purposes, transforming and adapting her traditional image. This symposium, with an interdisciplinary approach,...

Giotto, tête d'un moine visionnaire

Parution : « Mystique, langage, image : montrer l’invisible », Reichert Verlag, Wiesbaden, 2022

The experience of transcendence, especially when it concerns the direct encounter with God, exceeds every human possibility of expression. Only pictorial expression is able to make visible, at least approximately, what is invisible to the human eye and the human imagination. This volume deals with a whole range of such forms of expression, with contributions from the history of art and literature as well as music and history.   SOMMAIRE René Wetzel (Genève) – Vorwort...

Appel à contribution : « Ci-bas et au-delà. Les chapelles dans l’espace ecclésial de la France du XVIIe siècle », Rouen, Université de Rouen Normandie, 5-7 octobre 2023, date limite le 30 janvier 2023

L’analyse formelle ou fonctionnaliste de l’espace sacré tend à voir le bâtiment ecclésial comme une juxtaposition d’espaces clairement distincts – la nef, le chœur, ou encore le transept – dont la séparation refléterait notamment la différence d’état (clercs et laïcs). L’espace ecclésial peut être également envisagé comme un agrégat de chapelles de différentes tailles, ainsi que le suggère la lecture des écrits de Charles Borromée : celui-ci considérait le chœur comme une « chapelle majeure » (de capella...

Exposition : « Visualizing the Virgin Mary », Los Angeles, The Getty Center, 11 octobre 2022-8 janvier 2023

Although the Virgin Mary is one of the most important figures in the Christian tradition, she is little mentioned in the Bible. Drawn from the Getty Museum’s collection of medieval manuscripts, as well as a few choice regional loans, this exhibition shows how fewer than a dozen references to Mary grew into myriad stories and images that celebrate her as a personal intercessor, a compassionate mother, and a heavenly queen.
