The Copy of the Copy … of the Copy (Berlin, 3 Jul 26)

The Copy of the Copy … of the Copy. Techniques of Pictorial Reception of Antiquity in the Early Modern Period. Visualizing Antiquity. On the Episteme of Early Modern Drawings and Prints V.

In virtually all domains of human creativity, the outcomes—whether deliberately or inadvertently—are subject to the principle of repetition. This phenomenon likewise characterizes the history of acquiring knowledge about antiquity. Once information has been recorded in written or visual form, it typically becomes the point of departure for subsequent reproductions. The material documented at the beginning of the transmission process is copied and disseminated for as long as it is considered useful, with the copies themselves generally functioning as further agents of replication. In this process, copies function not merely as duplicates in a subordinate hierarchical relationship to the . . . → En lire plus

3rd Nuncius Essay Award 2026

Nuncius is a peer-reviewed and international journal devoted to the history of the material and visual culture in science. Published three times a year by Brill and under the auspices of the Museo Galileo in Florence, Nuncius explores the material sources of scientific endeavor, such as scientific instruments and collections, and the specific settings of experimental practice, as well as the visual cultures of science and interactions between sciences and arts. The materiality of science is a fundamental source for the understanding of its history, and the visual representation of its concepts and objects is equally crucial. Founded in 1976 by Maria Luisa Righini Bonelli (1917-1981), Nuncius . . . → En lire plus

The Gigantic in Medieval and Early Modern Art (Vienna, 18-20 Jun 26)

The Gigantic in Medieval and Early Modern Art: A Global Perspective

Giants were a source of enduring fascination in the medieval and Early Modern periods. They were not merely figures of myth or allegory, but imagined as real beings whose traces could be found in colossal bones, ancient ruins, and monumental landscapes. Giants haunted the pages of Arthurian romances and Nordic sagas, filled Islamic Aja’ib literature (عجايب) and travel accounts, and reappeared in Rabelais’ exuberant tales of Gargantua and Pantagruel. Their representations adorned both sacred and secular spaces: holy sanctuaries, town halls, city walls, marketplaces, fountains, harbors, riverbanks, and even private . . . → En lire plus

Actors of Sacred Space. Contexts, Objects, Memory (Rome, 23-24 Apr 26)

This workshop aims to explore the explicit or implicit material and artistic forms of intervention by particular actors, or specialized types of actors, within sacred spaces. This emphasis draws on the link between the Latin actor and auctor, both words denoting protagonists–people who do things, produce, or bring into being. Disputed but blurred in medieval texts, including in the Speculum of Vincent de Beauvais (c. 1200), the term actor was broadly applied to “doers,” while auctor emphasized the original authorship and visibility of the work. As noted in Marie-Dominique Chenu’s now classic essay “Auctor, Actor, Autor” (1927), which discusses the development of the Latin words . . . → En lire plus

Faire vivre ou laisser mourir. Patrimoines vulnérables (Paris, 1er juin 2026)

Faire vivre ou laisser mourir Patrimoines vulnérables Journée d’étude des élèves conservateurs et conservatrices du patrimoine de la promotion Rosa Bonheur (2025-2026) Appel à communication

Malgré la stabilité des pratiques conservatoires et un appareil réglementaire étoffé, les acteurs de la protection du patrimoine rencontrent de plus en plus la nécessité de réinventer certaines approches de protection et de conservation. La hausse des actes de malveillance, les contraintes matérielles et budgétaires, mais aussi l’apparition de nouveaux types de patrimoines incitent à renouveler avec lucidité la gestion des biens patrimoniaux menacés de disparaître. Celle-ci implique une introspection professionnelle parfois difficile mais aussi un recours à la créativité. Cette journée d’étude permettra d’aborder les risques et les enjeux qui pèsent sur la conservation du patrimoine, notamment sécuritaires et matériels. Elle se placera notamment . . . → En lire plus
