Colloque international : « Academy, Market, Industry: Sculptural Models, Themes and Genres between Britain and Italy, c. 1728-1854 » (Londres, 16-17 mai 2025)
Date et lieu: 16 et 17 mai 2025, Victoria and Albert Museum, Londres (en hybride)
Ce colloque international de deux jours explorera l’influence des échanges entre la Grande-Bretagne et l’Italie sur la sculpture aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles.
Les communications aborderont l’évolution des genres établis tels que les bustes, les sculptures idéales, les monuments funéraires et publics, ainsi que les copies et les adaptations d’œuvres antiques. Elles examineront la manière dont ces modèles ont été adaptés dans la sculpture décorative, y compris les reliefs, les décors de cheminées, ainsi que dans les œuvres d’art plus petites telles que les gemmes, les camées, les ivoires et les œuvres en porcelaine, en faïence et dans de nouvelles « pierres » artificielles.
La conférence est organisée par Kira d’Alburquerque (Victoria and Albert Museum), Adriano Aymonino (University of Buckingham), Albertina Ciani Sciolla (University of Buckingham) et Andrea Bacchi (Fondazione Federico Zeri – Università di Bologna), et soutenue par la Henry Moore Foundation, Stuart Lochhead Sculpture et l’Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Londra.
