Conférence : Sarah Gwyneth Ross, « Ut pictura comoedia: The Andreini Family and the Arts in Renaissance and Baroque Italy », Rome, Villino Stroganoff, le 21 avril 2026, 18h

Lovers of Italian culture know well a few members of the Andreini family (fl. 1560s-1710s): Isabella, Francesco, Giovan Battista, and Virginia Ramponi. This lecture recovers from the Andreini family archive several new (to us) figures and some surprising connections, especially between the visual arts and the commedia dell’arte. It borders on cliché to point out that the arts and letters remained in close conversation during the Renaissance and Baroque eras. Even if early-modern Italians didn’t...

Parution : Larry Silver, « Art and Dis-illusion in the Long Sixteenth Century », Leyde, Brill, 2023

Whereas entire libraries discuss the religious and political history of the sixteenth century in Northern Europe, focused on the Reformation and the rise of nation-states, Larry Silver uniquely traces the dramatic, even traumatic changes of the Reformation era discernible in the visual arts, especially paintings and the new medium of prints. Among the subjects and themes he explores are the destruction of church images, witchcraft, reactions to new voyages of exploration, and issues of vision...

Publication : I. Falque, A. Guiderdoni (ed.), « Rethinking the Dialogue between the Verbal and the Visual. Methodological Approaches to the Relationship Between Religious Art and Literature (1400–1700) », Brill, 2023

Intermediality, figurability, iconotext, visual exegesis: these are some of the many new ways in which the relationship between text and image has been explored in recent decades. Scholars have benefited from theoretical work in the fields of anthropology, psychoanalysis, and semiotics, alongside more traditional fields such as literature, art history and cultural history. Focusing on religious texts and images between 1400 and 1700, the essays gathered in this volume contribute to these developments by grounding...
