Appel à contribution : « The Material Culture of Magnificence in Early Modern Cities », San Juan, The Renaissance Society of America, 9-11 mars 2023, date limite le 25 juin 2022

This session proposes to study the material culture of magnificence in early modern cities as a specific topic. Magnificentia, by its definition as a virtue, is very much concerned with the individual. By making appropriate expenditures to create grand works, the individual manifests his or her virtuousness, thus making it visible to a broader community. This manifestation occurs on multiple scales; in clothing, coachwork, tombs, city palaces, churches, as well as the design of urban space....

Appel à contribution : « Sculptures polymatérielles du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance en Europe et dans le bassin méditerranéen (v. 1200-1500) », Amiens, Université de Picardie-Jules Verne, 10 novembre 2022, date limite le 15 avril 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...

Conférence : Marco Scansani, « Giovanni de Fondulis. A Forgotten Protagonist of North Italian Renaissance Sculpture », Londres, The Courtauld Institute, 28 février 2022, 17h-18h30

When we think of terracotta sculpture from northern Italy, the first works that come to mind are the impressive Paduan Lamentation groups, especially the masterpieces of Guido Mazzoni and Niccolò dell’Arca. The name of Giovanni de Fondulis is certainly not among the most well-known, neither among specialists, nor among the general public. After all, his name was only rediscovered in 2006 and his artistic personality was not outlined until an exhibition two years ago. Yet he was, without a shadow of a doubt,...

Parution : Susanna Burghartz et al. (dir.), « Materialized Identities in Early Modern Culture, 1450-1750. Objects, Affects, Effects », Amsterdam, Amsterdam University Press, 2021

This collection embraces the increasing interest in the material world of the Renaissance and the early modern period, which has both fascinated contemporaries and initiated in recent years a distinguished historiography. The scholarship within is distinctive for engaging with the agentive qualities of matter, showing how affective dimensions in history connect with material history, and exploring the religious and cultural identity dimensions of the use of materials and artefacts. It thus aims to refocus our...

Parution : Heather Graham et Lauren G. Kilroy-Ewbank (dir.), Emotions, Art, and Christianity in the Transatlantic World, 1450–1800, Leyde, Brill, 2021

Emotions, Art, and Christianity in the Transatlantic World, c. 1450–1800 is a collection of studies variously exploring the role of visual and material culture in shaping early modern emotional experiences. The volume’s transatlantic framework moves from The Netherlands, Spain, and Italy to Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, and the Philippines, and centers on visual culture as a means to explore how emotions differ in their local and global “contexts” amidst the many shifts occurring c. 1450–1800. These themes...
