Étiqueté : Florence

Parution : Timothy Verdon (dir.), “Florence and the Idea of Jerusalem”, Turnhout, Brepols, 2024

From the time of Dante through the 17th century and beyond, Florence had a special relationship with the Biblical Jerusalem—with the idea, that is, of a city chosen by God to be a sign of human peace. This collection of essays traces the development of this ‘Idea of Jerusalem’ from the Divine Comedy and medieval Holy Land pilgrimages through the 1439 Council of Florence, Savonarola’s end of the 15th-century preaching, and the astonishing project of...

Parution : Douglas Dow, “Bernardino Poccetti and the Art of Religious Painting at the End of the Florentine Renaissance”, Amsterdam, Amsterdam University Press, 2023

By almost any measure Bernardino Barbatelli, called Poccetti, was a successful and sought after painter in late sixteenth-century Florence, but his works have remained largely overlooked. This study situates representative examples of his religious painting within their respective contexts to demonstrate how Poccetti and his patrons negotiated the increasingly fraught terrain of sacred painting in the period of religious reform. These case studies demonstrate how patrons ranging from the Dominicans to the Carthusians to prominent...

Parution : Marie D’Aguanno Ito, “Orsanmichele A Medieval Grain Market and Confraternity”, Leyde, Brill, 2023

This work provides a new narrative for Orsanmichele in the era before the Renaissance. It examines Orsanmichele from the mid-thirteenth century, as the piazza transformed into the city’s grain market. It considers the market’s tandem confraternity, with its stunning Madonnas over three successive loggias. It examines the grain market and confraternity from a social, economic, political, and artistic perspective. It provides extensive data on the Florentine grain trade, sales at the market, and the nexus...

Conférence : Laura Stefanescu, « Gilded Suns and Peacock Angels. Theatrical Materiality and Art in Fifteenth-Century Florence », Londres et en ligne, 14 juin 2023

In fifteenth-century Florence, the phenomenon of religious theatre and ritual performance, promoted by adult and youth confraternities throughout the city, reached an unparalleled popularity, transitioning from the realm of devotion to that of the spectacular. The highlight of these performances was the materialisation of a multi-sensory heaven on stage and the appearance of its living angels (young Florentine boys) in their dazzling costumes. Painters living in the Santo Spirito quarter, where most of these activities...

Parution : Christiane Klapisch-Zuber, « Florence à l’écritoire. Écriture et mémoire dans l’Italie de la Renaissance », Éditions de l’EHESS, 2023.

La Florence de la première Renaissance est une ville de négociants, d’industriels, d’artisans, de peintres. Ces hommes tiennent des livres de comptes et beaucoup ne lâchent pas la plume en rentrant chez eux. Certains se piquent même de généalogie. Si cette écriture domestique qui enregistre, calcule et transmet est la pierre angulaire de la confiance réciproque et de l’identité sociale, elle est en revanche encore mal partagée entre hommes et femmes. Celles-ci s’efforcent toutefois de...

Exposition : « Pesellino : A Renaissance Master Revealed », Londres, National Gallery, du 7 décembre 2023 au 10 mars 2024

Discover an overlooked Renaissance great in the first-ever exhibition dedicated to Francesco Pesellino (c.1422–1457). With commissions from Florence’s ruling Medici family and working collaboratively with leading artists of the Italian Renaissance, Pesellino’s talents were hugely sought-after during his lifetime. However, an early death at just 35, and the difficulty in attributing works has meant that his legacy has been largely overlooked. This exhibition seeks to remedy that by shining a light on the depth and...
