Appel à communication : « L’or en Europe occidentale à la Renaissance. Approches interdisciplinaires », Paris & Nanterre, date limite le 1er mars 2022

Dans son ouvrage désormais canonique sur la peinture et la culture visuelle dans l’Italie du Quattrocento (Painting and experience in fifteenth century Italy), paru à Oxford en 1972, l’historien de l’art Michael Baxandall décrivait un mouvement de désaffection pour l’or dans les pratiques picturales, sensible dans les contrats entre peintres et commanditaires, mais aussi dans les écrits des théoriciens de l’art. Il reliait ce phénomène à un mouvement plus général, à l’échelle européenne, consistant en...

Conférence : Adriana Concin, « Florence and the Holy Roman Empire in the Sixteenth Century : Material Culture and Artistic Exchange », Londres, The Courtauld Institute, 17 janvier 2022, 17h-18h30

During the second half of the sixteenth century, Florentine artistic production and access to it became increasingly sought after across the Holy Roman Empire. An important dynastic connection between the Austrian Habsburg dynasty and the Medici family in 1565 was the marriage of Archduchess Johanna of Austria (1547–1578) to Francesco I de’ Medici (1541–1587). This was a catalytic event that brought the German-speaking dominions of Central Europe into close contact with Florence, its court and...

Parution : Hanneke van Asperen, « Silver Saints. Prayers and Badges in Late Medieval Books », Turnhout, Brepols, 2021

Late medieval books served as treasure chests for all kinds of religious keepsakes, notably small metal badges. Devotees sewed these religious badges and pilgrimage souvenirs to the parchment of their treasured devotional books and manuscript illuminators depicted silver en gilt badges in the margins as if they are sewn to the pages. Medieval manuscripts are often admired for their esthetic qualities, but many of them also served a practical use as instruments for the physical...

Parution : Susanna Burghartz et al. (dir.), « Materialized Identities in Early Modern Culture, 1450-1750. Objects, Affects, Effects », Amsterdam, Amsterdam University Press, 2021

This collection embraces the increasing interest in the material world of the Renaissance and the early modern period, which has both fascinated contemporaries and initiated in recent years a distinguished historiography. The scholarship within is distinctive for engaging with the agentive qualities of matter, showing how affective dimensions in history connect with material history, and exploring the religious and cultural identity dimensions of the use of materials and artefacts. It thus aims to refocus our...

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

Séminaire : Rembrandt Duits, Renaissance Art and Material Culture, Londres, Warburg Institute, 28 juin – 2 juillet 2021

As a boy, the Basle physician Felix Platter (1536-1614) once got in trouble for loitering at a market stall to admire some biscuit moulds. When recalling the episode in his memoirs, Platter described the carved wooden biscuit moulds as “works of art”. The anecdote raises the question: if, around the middle of the sixteenth century, an educated person such as Platter could perceive biscuit moulds as “art”, what else could be? This course seeks to...
