Appel à communication : « Vasari on Technique: Matter and Making », session de la RSA (Boston, 31 mars-2 avril 2016)

Giorgio Vasari, Le Vite, Firenze, Giunti, 1568In contradistinction to the biographical portion of the Lives, Giorgio Vasari’s “Introduction to the Three Arts of Design” has received relatively scant attention. This double session revisits the Introduction’s thirty chapters devoted to the materials and creative processes involved in the production and reception of a wide range of media, from stained glass to mosaics, gold ground to intarsia, painting on canvas to damask work. The aim of this session is to incorporate the Introduction into the larger corpus of scholarship on Vasari, early modern art theory, materiality, and pictorial composition.

Papers discussing the Introduction’s characterization of the so-called minor arts are particularly welcome. Please submit . . . → En lire plus

Appel à publication : « Sensuous Suffering: Pain in the Early Modern Visual Art of Europe & the Americas » (juillet 2015)

Rogier van der Weyden, Descente de croix, 1435, Madrid, Prado (détail)Pain, both physical and psychological, is readily sited in the body and the material. Because of its somatic basis, pain is an interior sensation whose external communication can stimulate both sympathetic and empathetic reactions in viewers. Renderings of its material consequences—be they ravaged bodies or tear-stained faces—in art have unique potential to engage viewers as psychosomatic entities and encourage affective responses.Contemporary interest in pain and its place in early modern culture has catalyzed contributions from scholars in diverse fields, including psychology, history, religion, and art history. This anthology seeks to explore the phenomenon of pain in early modern culture in Europe and . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : « Epic Encounters. Literature and the Visual Arts around Ariosto and Tasso » (Boston, RSA, 31 mars-2 avril 2016)

Dosso Dossi, Melissa (?), 1520, Rome, BorgheseOn the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the Furioso’s first edition, this session aims to reassess the exchange of ideas, theories and modes of representation between epic poetry and the visual arts in the Cinquecento. We seek to extend our inquiry beyond the depiction of iconographic motifs from the Orlando or the Gerusalemme in order to investigate more broadly the intersection of visual and verbal worlds that characterized the production of epic and chivalric literature in the Renaissance. We welcome contributions that, rather than addressing issues of reception, seek to integrate the visual discourse within the culture in which Renaissance epic originated.

Appel à communication : « Tintoretto 500  » (Boston, RSA, 31 mars-2 avril 2016)

Jacopo Tintoretto, Moïse recevant les tables de la loi (détail), 1560-62, Venise, Madonna dell'orto The life, personality, career, and critical fortune of Jacopo Tintoretto, one of the preeminent painters of late-sixteenth-century Europe, continue to fascinate scholars and the public alike, as demonstrated by the steady stream of studies; major exhibitions in Madrid (2007), Boston and Paris (2009), and Rome (2012); and the release of a popular biography (2009). 2018/2019 will mark the five-hundredth anniversary of his birth; what more can be said about this (in)famously prolific and fiery painter?

In anticipation of the artist’s quincentenary celebration, we seek papers that explore new avenues in the interpretation of his work, times, and afterlife.

Appel à communication : « From theory to practice: Lomazzo’s aesthetic principles reflected in the art of his time » (Boston, RSA, 31 mars-2 avril 2016)

Lomazzo, Trattato dell'arte della pittura, Milano, 1584, Livre IGiovan Paolo Lomazzo (1538‐1592) was the leading art theorist of late Cinquecento Milan, author of the influential Trattato dell’Arte della Pittura, Scoltura et Architettura (1584) and the Idea del Tempio della Pittura (1590), among other critical texts. As the abbot of the Accademia della Val di Blenio, his aesthetic principles contributed to lively debate within this artistic circle comprised of over hundred members including Annibale Fontana, Aurelio Luini and Scipione Delfinone. Yet, the extent to which Lomazzo’s doctrines were applied by his colleagues is still to be defined. Is it possible to pinpoint correlations between his theory and their artistic output? . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : « The Language of Fame and Failure in the Renaissance » (Washington, février 2016)

Jan van Eyck, L'Homme au turban rouge, 1433, Londres NGWhat was the vocabulary for describing an artist’s fame or failure during the fourteenth through sixteenth centuries? How did this language vary when it was voiced by one artist about another artist? What labels were used in official contracts, in the communications of a patron, or in the growing biographical/autobiographical literature? How did these descriptive terms evolve over time? One is familiar with laudatory words, such as artful, genius, or divine, and phrases, such as a second (or new) Phidias, or, to borrow the Duke of Burgundy’s praise for Jan van Eyck, “one so excellent in his art and science.” At the opposite . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : « New ‘Istoria’: Sixteenth-Century Approaches to Narrative Convention » (Vancouver, octobre 2015)

Giulio Romano, Salle des Géants, 1533-1535, Mantoue, Palazzo TeWhen Michelangelo started work on the Last Judgment (1535), a hundred years had passed since Leon Battista Alberti’s Della pittura (1435-6) introduced the concept of istoria as the “greatest work of the artist.” Alberti’s prescriptive treatment of formal techniques, composition and color provided a period-specific aesthetic vocabulary that artists translated into their modes of narrative construction. Though Alberti’s istoria established a theoretical method for image-making in a new humanist style, by the mid-sixteenth century, the evolution of artistic style required new approaches to a Quattrocento principle.

This panel seeks to explore how artists working a century after Alberti’s treatise challenged, altered or re-interpreted istoria . . . → En lire plus

Hans Memling, Retable de Maarten Nieuwenhove (détail), 1487Where does the recent sensory turn in the Arts and Humanities leave the study of Visual Culture? Can the viewer/object model incorporate the full sensorium without imposing ocularcentrism? How has vision’s relation to the other senses been expressed and explored through the visual arts from Antiquity to the Early Modern Period? How have the senses and sensory experience been represented in art before the Modern era?

This conference will explore the complex relationship between the visual and the sensory in contemporary theory and ancient practice. It will investigate the ways that art, from icons to illuminated manuscripts, music to architecture, and poetry to theatre, acted . . . → En lire plus
