Exposition : « The Jousting Armor of Philip I of Castile », New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 11 mai 2023-1er avril 2026

Among the various mock combats fought by knights and noblemen in tournaments, the joust was one of the most spectacular. The joust of peace required highly specialized armor that was unsuited to any other use, and usually made by the greatest armorers due to the exceptional metalworking skills required. This special installation features an armor for the joust of peace of Philip I of Castile (1478–1506) on loan from the Imperial Armoury, Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna....

Exposition : « The Lost Mirror. The image of Jews and Judaism in the Middle Ages », Madrid, Museo Nacional del Prado, 10 octobre 2023-14 janvier 2024 

Spanish art of the Late Middle Ages (13th to 15th centuries) was the setting for a complex and multi-faceted construction of the image of Jewish people. Figurative strategies went far beyond mere stigmatisation or demonisation and also gave rise to positive images that reveal co-existence and cultural exchange. Rather than focusing on issues common to the rest of Europe, this exhibition is notable for presenting a series of works and pictorial programmes that are absolutely...

Exposition : « Francisco de Herrera ‘the Younger’. The Absolute Baroque », Madrid, Museo Nacional del Prado, 25 avril-30 juillet 2023

Francisco de Herrera “the Younger” is one of the most unique and innovative artists of the Spanish Baroque. Nonetheless, and despite his importance during his lifetime, he remains an under-appreciated and in many respects unknown painter. This exhibition, featuring works by the artist which have almost all been restored by the Museo del Prado in an unprecedented project, aims to draw attention to Herrera’s fundamental period in Italy, a time when he acquired his skills...

Exposition : « Juan de Pareja, Afro-Hispanic Painter », New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 3 avril-16 juillet 2023

This exhibition offers an unprecedented look at the life and artistic achievements of seventeenth-century Afro-Hispanic painter Juan de Pareja (ca. 1608–1670). Largely known today as the subject of The Met’s iconic portrait by Diego Velázquez, Pareja was enslaved in Velázquez’s studio for over two decades before becoming an artist in his own right. This presentation is the first to tell his story and examine the role of enslaved artisanal labor and a multiracial society in...

Exposition : « Guido Reni », Madrid, Museo Nacional del Prado, 28 mars-9 juillet 2023

The exhibition which the Prado is devoting to Guido Reni is the principal one in the Museum’s programme this spring. It will offer a complete reassessment of this great Bolognese master’s contribution to the art of his time, based on the most recent art-historical research and with a particular focus on the artist’s connections with Spain. The latter is evident in the collecting of his works by the monarchy and upper ranks of the aristocracy...

Appel à contribution : « Artists from the Low Countries in the Iberian World », Special issue, date limite le 15 février 2023

Artists, agents and patrons from the Low Countries in the Iberian World (1400-1714). Call for Papers for a Special Journal Issue. Traditionally, it is argued that from the 15th century onwards, Iberian art was transformed by the arrival of artists and art objects from the Low Countries. Numerous studies demonstrate the influence of great Flemish artists such as Jan Van Eyck, Michiel Coxcie, Peter Paul Rubens and Jacob Jordaens. However, the contribution of lesser-known artists,...

Colloque : « Italian Art in the Iberian World: Circulation and Appropriation in the Modern Era », Florence, Palazzo Grifoni Budini Gattai, 2-3 novembre 2022

Despite being set in a profoundly Eurocentric centre-periphery framework, Fernand Braudel’s Le modèle italien had the merit of challenging positivist paradigms, bringing into play the importance of a comparative analysis of historical facts over long periods. The book also expressed a desire for a new way of considering temporality, in its own way. The potential of the work of art is not defined by the moment in which it was created. Its reception and transformation...

Parution : David García Cueto, Eduardo Lamas (dir.), « Copies of Flemish Masters in the Hispanic World (1500-1700). Flandes by Substitution », Turnhout, Brepols, 2021

The artistic heritage of the regions that once formed part of the former Spanish Empire includes a large number of painted copies after Flemish masters made during the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries. Most of these works have received little attention, even though they constitute a valuable source for understanding the artistic influence of the Southern Netherlands on Spanish and Latin American art and society in this period. Indeed, the study of copies of Flemish...

Appel à contribution : « Noblesse de l’animal, noblesse par l’animal dans la péninsule Ibérique et l’Amérique latine (Moyen Âge, Siècle d’or) », Bordeaux, Université Bordeaux-Montaigne, 18-19 mars 2021, date limite le 30 novembre 2020

La journée d’étude se propose d’explorer, à travers un large éventail de sources et d’animaux, les relations qui unissent noblesse et animal au Moyen Âge et à l’époque moderne, dans les mondes hispaniques et lusophones. Les réflexions se situeront à la croisée de deux axes d’étude principaux ; celui de la noblesse par l’animal, d’une part, qui fait de l’animal l’un des éléments identifiants et identitaires indispensables à une certaine ostentation aristocratique. Le deuxième axe de...

Parution : Luís U. Afonso, Tiago Moita, « Sephardic Book Art of the Fifteenth Century », Turnhout, Brepols, 2020

The current volume presents ten different studies dealing with the final stages of Hebrew book art production in medieval Iberia. Ranging from the Farhi Codex, copied and illuminated in the late 14th century, to the Philadelphia Bible, copied and illuminated in Lisbon in 1496, this volume discusses a wide scope of topics related with the production, consumption and circulation of medieval decorated Hebrew manuscripts. Among the issues discussed in this volume we highlight the role...
