Appel à contribution : « Playing Fools? The Art of the Jester in Modern Europe », Charenton/Paris, Médiathèque du Patrimoine et de la Photographie/Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art/Musée du Louvre, 18-20 novembre 2024, date limite le 1er avril 2024

The jester is a paradoxical figure: a subordinate included in elite social circles. Thus, he is an outsider, albeit a remarkably proficient one. Jesters, comprising fools, dwarfs, and other “monsters” – both men and women, often with disabilities – are itinerant, travelling from one court to another or from the precursors of psychiatric hospitals to the realms of royalty. Examining the jesters’ craft – as virtuosos and outsiders – provides an innovative perspective on European...

Appel à contribution : « Arte, cultura e politica in movimento. La Serenissima, l’Abruzzo e le regioni adriatiche del Regno di Napoli (XVI-XVIII secolo) », Teramo, Università degli studi di Teramo, 10-11 avril 2024, date limite le 4 février 2024

La chiamata agli studi in oggetto prende avvio dalle ricerche in corso di due storiche dell’arte e dottorande dell’Università degli Studi di Teramo. Considerati gli ampi vuoti storiografici sull’argomento, le studiose propongono alla comunità scientifica – e particolarmente a giovani ricercatori – due giornate di studio dedicate alla circolazione culturale, artistica e ai rapporti politici ed economici tra la Repubblica di Venezia, l’Abruzzo e le regioni adriatiche del Regno di Napoli (XVI-XVIII secolo), con speciale,...

Journée d’études : Les traces d’un temps nouveau ? Percevoir la nouveauté du présent entre XVIe et XVIIe siècle, Lyon, 22 septembre 2023

Événement organisé en partenariat avec l’Université de Genève, dans le cadre du projet IUF de Delphine Reguig « Le Temps du Roi ».La modernité, selon Reinhart Koselleck, commencerait lorsque le passé, le présent et le futur deviennent trois dimensions proprement historiques, c’est-à-dire des représentations distinctes, mais liées entre elles par des rapports de causalité. La modernité serait ainsi le résultat final d’un long processus, entre 1500 et 1800. Or, les décennies entre XVIe et XVIIe siècle sont une époque qui ne maîtrise...

This volume proposes to investigate...

Exposition : « Vittore Carpaccio. Master Storyteller of Renaissance Venice », Washington, National Gallery of Art, 20 novembre 2022-12 février 2023

A leading figure in the art of Renaissance Venice, Vittore Carpaccio (c. 1460/1466–1525/1526) is best known for his large, spectacular narrative paintings that brought sacred history to life.

In a focused selection of some 45 paintings and 30 drawings, large-scale canvases painted...

Conférence : Alexander Marr, « Holbein’s Wit », Londres, Paul Mellon Centre, 16 novembre 2022

16 November 2022, 6:00 – 8:00 pm Book tickets This talk will address the tactical ambiguity of Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/8–1543)’s art as a form of wit. In a number of important pictures, including The Ambassadors, Portrait of Georg Gisze and Lady with a Squirrel and a Starling, Holbein deployed verbal-cum-visual puns to draw attention to his sitters’ and his own ingenuity (ingenium). The productive ambiguity of his pictures will be set within the context...

Exposition : « Pope Adrian VI. World Leader from Utrecht », Utrecht, Museum Catharijneconvent, 2 juin-13 novembre 2022

Adrian VI is the only Dutch pope ever. He was elected completely unexpectedly exactly five hundred years ago, in 1522. Adrian grew up in Utrecht and made a career in the service of Emperor Charles V. At the time, the church in Western Europe was experiencing a major crisis. Many church leaders were corrupt and the Vatican was bankrupt. There was no worse time to become pope. What does Adrian run into in the Roman...

Conférence : Antonio Sgamellotti, « Raphael in Villa Farnesina. From the colours of prosperity to the Egyptian Blue », Londres, The Courtauld, 15 septembre 2022

Villa Farnesina, the house of Agostino Chigi designed by Baldassarre Peruzzi, and decorated by the masters of Renaissance painting is one of the highest artistic expressions of this period. The fable of Apuleius, frescoed in the Loggia of Cupid and Psyche by Raphael and his workshop, is framed by vegetable festoons: their rich hues associated with fruits from all continents represent the colours of prosperity. The chromatic richness of these fruits, many of them still...

Parution : Daniel M. Unger, « Titian’s Allegory of Marriage. New Approaches », Amsterdam, Amsterdam University Press, 2022

This book offers nine new approaches toward a single work of art, Titian’s Allegory of Marriage or Allegory of Alfonso d’Avalos, dated to 1530/5. In earlier references, the painting was named simply Allegory, alluding to its enigmatic nature. The work follows in a tradition of such ambiguous Venetian paintings as Giovanni Bellini’s Sacred Allegory and Giorgione’s Tempest. Throughout the years, Titian’s Allegory has engendered a range of diverse interpretations. Art historians such as Hans Tietze,...

Exposition : « The Lost Murals of Renaissance Rome », Los Angeles, The Getty Center, 31 mai-4 septembre 2022

In Renaissance Rome, the facades of many prominent buildings were painted with spectacular narrative frescoes. Once part of the fabric of the city, only a few now remain. Using works from the Getty’s collection, including the celebrated drawings series “Early Life of Taddeo Zuccaro” in which murals play a central role, the exhibition explores this extraordinary Renaissance phenomenon. This exhibition complements Judy Baca: Hitting the Wall. Source
