Appel à contribution : « Painting the Materials, Imitating the Techniques. A Dialogue between Mediums in Early Modern Art », Lyon, CIHA, 23-28 juin 2024, date limite le 15 septembre 2023

How can we comprehend the trend for simulating materials in European painting between the 15th and 17th centuries? Was it simply a demonstration of technical virtuosity underscoring the superiority of pictorial practice over the other arts? These issues are worth revisiting in light of anthropological approaches and materiality studies regarding the communicative potential of early modern images. Since Leonardo, debates on the paragone have essentially focused on the confrontation between painting and sculpture. However, Renaissance...

Appel à contribution : « Gold in Renaissance Western Europe. Interdisciplinary Approaches », Paris, 9-10 juin 2022, date limite le 1er mars 2022

In his influential book on painting and visual culture in fifteenth-century Italy (Painting and Experience in Fifteenth-Century Italy, 1972), Michael Baxandall described the abandonment of gold in painting practices as a sensitive phenomenon both in contracts between painters and patrons, and in the writings of some authoritative art theorists. He linked this attitude to a more general movement on a European scale, consisting of the decline of some practices of display, for example the fashion...

Online Conference : Venice in Blue : The Use of Carta azzurra in the Artist’s Studio and in the Printer’s Workshop, ca. 1500–50, University of St Andrews, 2–3 Septembre 2021

At the turn of the sixteenth century, blue paper emerged as a chosen support for drawing and printing in Venice. Artists including Vittore Carpaccio (ca. 1460–ca. 1526), Lorenzo Lotto (ca. 1480–1556), Titian (ca. 1488–1576), Sebastiano del Piombo (ca. 1485–1547), and Jacopo Tintoretto (1518/19–1594) utilised this support for drawings to explore the tonal effects of light and shade on colour. At the same time, publishers like Aldus Manutius (ca. 1445–1515), Francesco Marcolini (ca. 1500–after 1559), and...

Parution : Nicola Suthor, « Bravura: Virtuosity and Ambition in Early Modern European Painting », Princeton University Press, 2021

The painterly style known as bravura emerged in sixteenth-century Venice and spread throughout Europe during the seventeenth century. While earlier artistic movements presented a polished image of the artist by downplaying the creative process, bravura celebrated a painter’s distinct materials, virtuosic execution, and theatrical showmanship. This resulted in the further development of innovative techniques and a popular understanding of the artist as a weapon-wielding acrobat, impetuous wunderkind, and daring rebel. In Bravura, Nicola Suthor offers...

Colloque : « Virtuosités. Éthique et esthétique du geste technique du Moyen Âge au XIXe siècle », en ligne, 14-18 janvier 2021

Le présent colloque vise à provoquer la rencontre et le dialogue de différentes approches du geste technique, à partir d’une catégorie de gestes que l’on nomme virtuoses. On entend par là l’attitude qui consiste à imposer indiscrètement à l’attention l’acte de produire ; la virtuosité étant considérée comme la primauté accordée à une métatechnique. Outre une analyse des concepts et références à l’œuvre dans les usages du terme « virtuosité », sur la longue durée, le colloque reviendra...

Conférence : Ariella Minden, et al., « Failure: Understanding Art as Process, 1150–1750 », en ligne, 5-6 novembre 2020

International conference organized by Ariella Minden, Alessandro Nova, and Luca Palozzi. This conference proposes to bring failure into focus as a crucial component of artistic production. Understanding failure as a generative force rather than the antagonist to success offers an opportunity for a paradigmatic shift away from the overpowering rhetoric of accomplishment and artistic progress which is still so predominant in art history –instead re-evaluating trial and error. This may lead, in turn, to a...
