Appel à contribution : « Religion, Ancestry, and Identity. On the Relationship between Theology, Genealogy, and Heraldry in the Early Modern Period », Hambourg, Warburg-Haus, 3-4 avril 2025, date limite le 13 décembre 2024

In early modernity, genealogy was a topic of major religious and theological relevance. During the Reformation, genealogical thinking helped to shape new confessional identities, significantly influencing perceptions of family and kinship. References to ancestry served to illustrate religious continuities and the transmission of the ‘true’ faith across generations. Thus, genealogy not only contributed to establishing religious authority, but also shaped confessional identities and served as a tool for resolving theological issues. This interdisciplinary conference proposes...

Parution : Yelena Mazour-Matusevich, « Le père du siècle: The Early Modern Reception of Jean Gerson (1363-1429). Theological Authority between Middle Ages and Early Modern Era », Turnhout, Brepols, 2023

This volume provides the first wide-ranging investigation of the post-fifteenth-century reception of Jean Gerson (1363–1429), chancellor of the University of Paris, guiding light of the Council of Constance, and arguably the most influential of late medieval theologians. His impact on early modern movements and thinkers paved the way for many developments still shaping our existence today. Besides his well-known influence in theology and church history, the chancellor left a significant impact in jurisprudence, human rights, art, music, education,...

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...

Actualité de la recherche en histoire de l’art de la Renaissance / Séminaires

Séminaire : « Expérience. Théologie et image entre Moyen Âge et Époque moderne », Paris, Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art, janvier-mai 2023

Afin de tisser des liens entre Histoire de l’art, Théologie et Histoire religieuse, chaque séance de ce cycle de conférences accueillera deux intervenants d’horizons disciplinaires et méthodologiques différents, qui s’exprimeront chacun pendant quarante minutes avant une discussion finale avec l’assemblée. Cette collaboration résulte d’un hiatus méthodologique constaté entre Histoire de l’art médiéval et Histoire de l’art moderne dans l’appréhension des rapports entre l’art et la théorie religieuse. De fait, en 2005, Jean-Michel Leniaud faisait le...

Parution : C. Strine, M. Mclnroy, A. Torrance, « Image as Theology. The Power of Art in Shaping Christian Thought, Devotion, and Imagination », Turnhout, Brepols, 2022

Our lives are saturated with images. They exert an unparalleled power in contemporary culture. However, the power of images is in fact nothing new. Although texts are often the most important historical sources for academics, the image played an enormous role for those who actually lived in these past societies. Images communicated all manner of concepts and messages to a much wider audience than theological texts. Throughout history, images frequently depicted God, human beings, and...

Parution : Chiara Franceschini (dir.), « Sacred Images and Normativity: Contested Forms in Early Modern Art », Turnhout, Brepols, 2020

Early modern objects, images and artworks were often nodes of discussion and contestation. If images were sometimes contested by external and often competing agencies (religious and secular authorities, image theoreticians, various Inquisitions, etc.), artists and objects were just as likely to impose their own rules and standards through the continuation and/or contestation of established visual traditions, styles, iconographies, materialities, reproductions, and reframings. While issues such as censorship and iconoclasm have already received much attention from...

Parution : « Créer. Créateurs, créations, créatures au Moyen Âge », Sorbonne Université Presses, 2019

« Dieu dit : “que la lumière soit”, et la lumière fut ». La cosmogonie chrétienne pose en son cœur le Verbe divin. Cette Création qui ouvre la Bible et l’histoire fascine en profondeur l’homme médiéval, pour qui créer revient toujours à rejouer, imiter ou questionner le geste divin. Il s’agit toujours de faire la lumière dans un univers livré au chaos et à la faute : créer, c’est au moins autant façonner du neuf...

“A transformative new work of scholarship: beautifully written and intellectually challenging, this book has made me think again about pictures I thought I knew well.” (Caroline Campbell, The Jacob Rothschild Head of the Curatorial Department, The National Gallery, London) How do you paint a figure who is fully human and fully divine? How do you paint Christ? Strangeness and Recognition takes a fresh look at well-known Renaissance paintings of Christ and shows how surprising and...
