Appel à contribution : « Saint Sebastian: The Image of a Saint between Art, Literature, and Visual Culture », Cagliari, 16-17 octobre 2026, date limite le 31 mars 2026

In 1976 the British filmmaker Derek Jarman chose the bay of Cala Domestica in Sardinia as the setting for his film Sebastiane, a work that decisively shaped the contemporary reinterpretation of Saint Sebastian, projecting him into an aesthetic, political, and queer dimension. Fifty years after that experience, scholars are invited to the University of Cagliari to reflect on the iconography of the Saint and the imagery it has generated, from its medieval origins to the...

Exposition : « San Giorgio. Il viaggio di un santo cavaliere dall’Oriente a Genova », Gênes, Palazzo Reale/Teatro del Falcone, du 31 octobre 2025 au 1er mars 2026

La mostra è la prima importante rassegna dedicata a san Giorgio, uno dei quattro santi patroni di Genova. La sua figura, simbolo di protezione, è diffusa sin dal Medioevo nelle immagini religiose, sui portali dei palazzi, nei documenti ufficiali come nel gonfalone della città. La sua bandiera, una croce rossa su fondo bianco, sventola ancora oggi sui palazzi pubblici. Patrono dei cavalieri, invocato come protettore dalla peste, il legame tra san Giorgio e la Repubblica...

Colloque : « San Teodoro, il soldato venuto dal mare », Brindisi, Pontificia Basilica Cattedrale, 9-11 novembre 2025

Il 9 novembre 1225, nella Cattedrale romanica di Brindisi, si celebrano le nozze tra l’imperatore Federico II di Svevia e Isabella di Brienne, regina di Gerusalemme. Quel giorno ricorre la memoria liturgica di san Teodoro d’Amasea, patrono dell’esercito bizantino e tra i più venerati soldati martiri della storia della cristianità. Martirizzato sul principio del IV secolo, il corpo del santo – secondo le ipotesi più accreditate – perviene dall’Oriente a Brindisi in occasione del matrimonio...

Journées d’étude : « Picturing Sainthood: Images and the Making of Saints in Early Modern Global Catholicism », Rome, Bibliotheca Hertziana, 19-21 juin 2024

In the early modern period, throughout the process of negotiation that gave shape to sainthood – whether officially recognized or aspirational – images were of paramount importance. Encompassing a wide range of media, from inexpensive medals and woodcuts to costly altarpieces, images were as crucial at the grassroots level of popular devotion as in the context of elite patronage. The conference Picturing Sainthood: Images and the Making of Saints in Early Modern Global Catholicism investigates...

Parution : Alyce Jordan, Kay Brainerd Slocum (dir.), « Images of Thomas Becket in the Middle Ages and Beyond. The Uses and Reception of a Celebrity Saint », Woodbridge, Boydell and Brewer, 2024

Explores the commemoration and memorialisation of the Canterbury martyr in visual and material culture. In life, and especially in death, Thomas Becket was nothing short of a medieval celebrity, whose significance spanned the European high Middle Ages in to the sixteenth-century. Henry VIII’s suppression of his cult in 1536 only served to enhance his popularity elsewhere. Visual depictions of his life, high-profile careers, spectacular demise, and posthumous legacies, are numerous. These images document both the...

Parution : Cordelia Warr, « Stigmatics and Visual Culture in Late Medieval and Early Modern Italy », Amsterdam, Amsterdam University Press, 2022

This book places the discourse surrounding stigmata within the visual culture of the late medieval and early modern periods, with a particular focus on Italy and on female stigmatics. Echoing, and to a certain extent recreating, the wounds and pain inflicted on Christ during his passion, stigmata stimulated controversy. Related to this were issues that were deeply rooted in contemporary visual culture such as how stigmata were described and performed and whether, or how, it...

Appel à contribution : « Imago, ius, religio. Religious Iconographies in Illustrated Legal Manuscripts & Printed Books (9th -20th Centuries) », Eikón Imago Journal 2023, date limite le 1 février 2022

It is not unusual to come across religious iconographies in miniatures as well as borders and based-page scenes in illustrated legal manuscripts and printed books (9th-20th centuries) containing canon, civil or local law texts, like the Livres juratoires or municipal and professional statutes. Some of these iconographies, for instance those in the Decretum Gratiani or the Liber Extra, Gregory IX’s decretals, have been accurately examined. However, a comprehensive survey providing a global and chronological investigation...

Parution : Philippe Desmette, François De Vriendt, « Les saints anciens au temps de la Réforme catholique (Europe occidentale, XVIe-XVIIIe siècles). Déclin ou renouveau ? », Bruxelles, Société des Bollandistes, 2021

Si tous les saints ont acquis valeur de témoins de la foi aux yeux des fidèles catholiques, leurs actes, leurs attitudes et leurs messages sont des plus variables selon les époques. Les quatorze contributions de cet ouvrage envisagent l’évolution de la popularité des «vieux» saints médiévaux – premiers évêques, martyrs locaux, fondateurs et fondatrices d’abbayes, pieuses vierges, missionnaires antérieurs à l’an mil – à l’époque de la Réforme catholique, aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Ces...
