Appel à communication : « London & the Art Market 1780-1820 » (London, 21-22 Jun 2013)

London and the Emergence of a European Art Market (c. 1780-1820)

The National Gallery, London, June 21 – 22, 2013

Deadline: Feb 15, 2013

The French Revolution and the ensuing Napoleonic Wars with occupations of Italy, Spain and the Low Countries, instigated a sweeping redistribution of art. At the same time, the Papacy’s loss of temporal power undermined the enforcement of export laws in the Papal States. This convergence of events ensured that large volumes of paintings—often entire collections, from European monasteries, churches, and private palaces—were widely dispersed via auction and private treaty sales in a true diaspora of art. Current scholarship posits that amidst these large-scale market transformations London . . . → En lire plus

Association of Art Historians Annual Conference 2013 Call for Papers for session on Horace Vernet (1789-1863) and the Thresholds of Nineteenth-Century Visual Culture

« A sort of agile and frequent masturbation, an irritation of the French epidermis. » So said Baudelaire of Horace Vernet’s pictures in his Salon of 1846, articulating a negative view of the artist’s work that has suffused accounts of nineteenth-century French art ever since. Despite Baudelaire’s disdain for Vernet’s « lowly » art that he thought bereft of stylistic conviction or artistic inspiration, the critic nevertheless recognized that Vernet might be thought of as « the most complete representative of his age. » Scrambling . . . → En lire plus

Deadline-CFP: 30 sept. 2012

The long nineteenth century set the world on the move. Travel became increasingly important for business and pleasure, for war and peace. At the same time, new forms of moving people arose: the balloon, ships, undergrounds, funiculars, the railroads. Each carried riders to great distances, different locales, and novel pursuits. But motion wasn’t purely spatial; new movements arose as well, sweeping the inhabitants of the period into fresh vistas of thought and endeavor. We seek papers and panels that capture the sense of movement at work . . . → En lire plus
