Étiqueté : Grotesques

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

Parution : Lucia Tantardini and Rebecca Norris (eds), “Grotesque and Caricature”, Leyde, Brill, 2023

Grotesque and Caricature: Leonardo to Bernini examines these two genres across Renaissance and Early Modern Italy. Although their origins stem from Antiquity, it were Leonardo da Vinci’s early teste caricate that injected fresh life into the tradition, greatly inspiring generations of artists. Critical among them were his Milanese followers, such as Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo, and also Michelangelo and Sebastiano del Piombo as well as, notably, Annibale Carracci, Guercino, and Bernini among others. Their artistic production—drawings, prints,...

Magdalen College, University of Oxford Grove Auditorium (entry via Longwall Street) 27 September 2023, 5pm  The Renaissance grotesque is normally thought of as an ornamental art of the margins: fantastical rather than natural, supplementary instead of central. But what if we were to approach a core subject in the rise of naturalism, the Northern Renaissance portrait, on grotesque terms? This lecture will re-assess three well-known portraits—Hans Holbein the Younger’s Derich Born, Albrecht Dürer’s St Jerome in his...

Parution : Chris Askholt Hammeken, Maria Fabricius Hansen (eds), Ornament and Monstrosity in Early Modern Art, Amsterdam, Amsterdam University Press, 2019

Early modern art features a remarkable fascination with ornament, both as decorative device and compositional strategy, across artistic media and genres. Interestingly, the inventive, elegant manifestations of ornament in the art of the period often include layers of disquieting paradoxes, creating tensions – monstrosities even – that manifest themselves in a variety of ways. In some cases, dichotomies (between order and chaos, artificiality and nature, rational logic and imaginative creativity, etc.) may emerge. Elsewhere, a...
