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...

An exhibition devoted to the portrayal of the motherhood Motherhood in the sense of the origin of the world and the quintessence of love is the leitmotif of the second Lands of the Uffizi exhibition in Poppi.

Exposition : “Fifteenth-Century Sculpture in Florence”, Saint-Pétersbourg, Musée de l’Ermitage, jusqu’au 4 septembre 2022

The exhibition presents splendid works of sculpture from the collection of the State Hermitage. Many of them have only very recently become the subject of research and publications.

The display...

Parution : Francesco Caglioti (ed), “Donatello: The Renaissance”, Venise, Marsilio, 2022

  A beautiful appraisal of the Renaissance sculptor’s achievements, contextualized with works by his contemporaries. The first thorough overview of the artist in many years, Donatello: The Renaissance reconstructs the outstanding career of one of the greatest sculptors in Western art. Famed for his incredibly sensual sculpture of David—the first freestanding nude male sculpture since antiquity—Donatello (c. 1386–1466) also made reliefs, but was best known for statues in the round. Accompanying a truly historic exhibition...

Conférence : Francesco Caglioti, « L’exposition Donatello à Florence », Paris, Auditorium du Louvre, 25 mai 2022, 12h30

L’exposition Donatello, la Renaissance actuellement en cours à Florence (Palazzo Strozzi et musée National du Bargello) vise à représenter la centralité absolue de Donatello (v. 1386 – 1466) dans l’histoire de la Renaissance italienne (15e et 16e siècles), mais aussi son rôle révolutionnaire dans l’histoire de l’art européen. Sculpteur au talent sans bornes, et versé dans toutes les matières et techniques, Donatello sentit dès son plus jeune âge les limites représentatives, expressives et narratives de la sculpture...
