Appel à contribution : « Institutional Health. Practice and Metaphor in Early Modern Spaces », date limite le 31 mars 2023

We invite contributions to a volume examining the ways in which health shaped institutional spaces and practices in the early modern world from 1400-1800. In the scope of this volume, we consider institutional “health” metaphorically, as in the stability of the body politic, as well as physically, in terms of both individuals and spaces. While such a topic necessarily confronts painful histories of institutionalization, our goal is to expand beyond discourses centered on the top-down...

Journées d’étude : « Know your place. (Re)Constructing Spaces in Premodern Visual Cultures », Bâle, University of Basel, 9-11 mars 2023

Visual means construct spaces by defining their character and purpose, and dictating human behaviours within them. Medieval monuments such as choir screens or market crosses divided ecclesiastic interiors and juridical topographies, and denoted hierarchies. Wall paintings shaped domestic environments in ancient Roman houses, formed inter-medial dialogues by alluding to textile hangings in pre-modern Central Asian residences, and established idealised ancestor identities in ancient Egyptian tombs. Yet the study of these examples – as well as...

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...

Parution : « Indecent Bodies in Early Modern Visual Culture », Amsterdam University Press, 2022

The life-like depiction of the body became a central interest and defining characteristic of the European Early Modern period that coincided with the establishment of which images of the body were to be considered ‘decent’ and representable, and which disapproved, censored, or prohibited. Simultaneously, artists and the public became increasingly interested in the depiction of specific body parts or excretions. This book explores the concept of indecency and its relation to the human body across...

Parution : R. Noyes (ed.), « Reassessing Epistemic Images in the Early Modern World », Amsterdam University Press, 2022

This edited collection of papers explores from an interdisciplinary perspective the role of images and objects in early modern knowledge-making practices with an emphasis on mapping methodological approaches against printed pictures and things. The volume brings together work across diverse printed images, objects, and materials produced c. 1500-1700, as well as well as works in the ambit of early modern print culture, to reframe a comparative history of the rise of the ‘epistemic imprint’ as...

Exposition : « Clara the Rhinoceros », Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum, 30 septembre 2022-15 janvier 2023

The exhibition shows how new knowledge changed perceptions of the rhinoceros, and how art played its part in this process. The 60 objects on display include paintings, drawings, medals, statues, books, clocks and a goblet. Very few of these artworks have been displayed before in the Netherlands, and never before have so many exceptional objects devoted to Clara the rhinoceros being presented together. They range from the first-ever European print depicting a rhinoceros – made...

Journée d’études : « Sculptures polymatérielles du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance en Europe et dans le bassin méditerranéen (v. 1200-1500) », Amiens, 10 novembre 2022

Cette journée d’études se propose d’aborder la question des sculptures réalisées avec l’emploi conjoint de plusieurs matériaux et techniques, offrant l’opportunité de croiser les champs de recherche sur la matérialité. Les premières recherches bibliographiques tendent à montrer que ce sujet a été peu traité. Indubitablement, certaines œuvres proviennent d’ateliers d’artistes confirmés et étudiés. Mais l’aspect purement matériel et formel a été peu pris en compte voire complètement ignoré. Pourtant, les matériaux et la matérialité occupent...
