Parution : Cathleen Hoeniger, « The Fate of Early Italian Art during World War Two. Protection, Rescue, Restoration », Turnhout, Brepols, 2024

In Italy, art historians can study wall-paintings, tombs, and stained-glass windows in the early churches for which they were created because they have been preserved in situ over the centuries. This book explores one fraught period of this critical preservation work, during the five years of World War II in Italy, when numerous artistic monuments of value were vulnerable to damage and destruction. Works of art from the late Middle Ages and Early Renaissance lie at...

Sarah Blake McHam delves into the social, cultural and literary backdrops of this artist’s life. She shows how Piero became the...

Appel à contribution : « L’architettura e l’universo femminile nel Rinascimento », Vicence, Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio, 21-23 mars 2025, date limite le 30 septembre 2024

Ancora oggi, sebbene la maggior parte degli studiosi di architettura siano donne, il mondo dell’architettura continua ad essere dominato dagli uomini. Se si guarda all’Italia della prima età moderna, il ruolo, lo spazio e la posizione delle donne sono ancora più difficili da comprendere. Gli studi recenti hanno in parte rimediato a questo squilibrio, ma ciò si è verificato a più ampio raggio nel campo della storia dell’arte rispetto a quello dell’architettura. Questo seminario vuole...

Conférences : « E. H. Gombrich Lecture Series », Londres/en ligne, The Warburg Institute, 10-12 septembre 2024

In February 1937, Johan Huizinga presented a lecture based on Homo ludens: A Study of the Play Element in Culture (1938) at the Warburg Institute, with a young Viennese art historian, Ernst Gombrich, in the audience.

Parution : Kathryn Taylor, “Ordering Customs Ethnographic Thought in Early Modern Venice”, Harrogate, Combined Academic Publishers, 2023

Ordering Customs explores how Renaissance Venetians sought to make sense of human difference in a period characterized by increasing global contact and a rapid acceleration of the circulation of information. Venice was at the center of both these developments. The book traces the emergence of a distinctive tradition of ethnographic writing that served as the basis for defining religious and cultural difference in new ways. Taylor draws on a trove of unpublished sources—diplomatic correspondence, court records,...

Parution : Robin O’Bryan, Felicia Else (eds), « Giants and Dwarfs in European Art and Culture, ca. 1350-1750. Real, Imagined, Metaphorical », Amsterdam, Amsterdam University Press, 2024

Not since Edward Wood’s Giants and Dwarfs published in 1868 has the subject been the focus of a scholarly study in English. Treating the topic afresh, this volume offers new insights into the vogue for giants and dwarfs that flourished in late-medieval and early modern Europe. From chapters dealing with the real dwarfs and giants in the royal and princely courts, to the imaginary giants and dwarfs that figured in the crafting of nationalistic and ancestral traditions,...
