Gaulard, Bénédicte. "Création artistique et réforme catholique en Franche-Comté (1571-1654) : "connaitre invisible par les choses visibles"." Dijon, 1999. http://www.theses.fr/1999DIJOL009.
Full textThe catholic reform aroused many artistic representations in Franche-Comté, land of fidelity at the catholic faifth. The articulation between artistic creation and devotions is studied in this thesis divided in five parts from the publication of the decrees of the Council of Trente in 1571 to the deadth of Claude d'Achey in 1654. In a first time, the autor emphasizes the specificity of Franche-Comté 's society which is sacred. The question of pictures, embellishment of churchs and houses is then tackled, and the importance of the Franche-Comté like an vital artistic center during the XVIIe century. The autor analyses the phenomenon of the artists 's dynasties, these activities for corporations, municipalities, clergy and governors of Besançon. The connections between devotions and iconography are studied trought representations of the blesses virgin mary, the saints, worship of relics and christian piety

Full textThis research is an extension of a previous work, dedicated to the 13th-century stained-glass windows of the cathedral of Sens. Out of this first study was recognition that despite earlier initiated works and studies, the analysis of the building of the « First Master », to quote Jacques Henriet – that is, the chronology of the construction in the 12th and the modifications of its structure in the 13th, 14th and 15th century – was not fully achieved. The study is divided into three parts : the first two parts are dedicated to the archaeological context of the metropolitan church, the architectural analysis of the builing and the chronology of the construction (12th to 15th century) ; the third part is intended to understand the place of the monumental images and the light in the building, and how both clerical and lay could have reacted to them

Full textThe development of an abstract art within the religion of Incarnation has partly paradoxical consequences regarding the catholic dogma. The point is to understand the part played by the notion of abstract art within the Church, and vice versa, and how an incarnation without figures could be accepted. This dissertation firstly studies the reflexive relationship between the church and the arts, and the institutional and artistic issues linked. Then, it examines the creations partly born because of the will of a connection between the present and the research of a proper Church language. Moreover, through the independent creations appears the complexity of the relations between abstract art and Catholic Church in a non-liturgical environment. Finally, the debate is replaced in a larger context : the modern society, through sacred art exhibitions, shows or collections, where abstract art progressively gains a prime space

Full textJoseph Aubert was one of the greater religious painters at the turn of the 19th century. Although he's completely forgotten nowadays, it seemed necessary for us to rehabilitate him with a general analysis of his life and work. Born in Nantes in 1849 Aubert felt an early vocation for religious painting. He studied at Yvon's studio, then at Cabanel's. He wasn't allowed to compete for the Rome Grand Prix cause of his recent marriage. He specialized in religious painting and especially in decoration of churches. As he desired to renew biblical topics, he made three trips to Palestine between 1892 and 1900. The pannels of Notre-Dame-des-Champs in Paris and Notre-Dame in Besançon are considered as masterpieces of religious painting at that time. Aubert bought the Ermitage castle in Franche-Comté in 1898. He got used to come there every summer for resting and he also had a studio. He died in 1924 at the Fontenelles monastery without having any children. Aubert was a discreet but renowned artist by the Clergy. Fervent Christian, talentuous drawer, good portraitist, Aubert maybe was the missing link between Hippolyte Flandrin's archaic classicism and Maurice Denis' formal renewal. So it was necessary to make a Catalogue Raisonné that gives his place back to an artist who had made religion her main confidant and Muse
Courtillé, Anne. "Les débuts de l'art gothique en Auvergne." Paris 10, 1988. http://www.theses.fr/1988PA100012.
Full textThis doctoral dissertation aims at showing the very early existence in Auvergne of gothic features, which appeared first in the abbey-churches at St-Pourcain-sur-Sioule and Ebreuil, followed by developments at Aigueperse, Riom and Billom. Chapter iii explains the adoption of such gothic elements as bases, capitals, portals in churches that, structurally, are still Romanesque. The next step was the adoption of rib-vaulting but in so limited a way that there was no alteration in the general aspect of churches. The last two chapters insist on the contrary on the wide-spread use of rib-vaulting. A list of 94 churches dating from 1160 to 1250 has been exanimated in this book. Most of these churches are located north-west of the Limagne basin alongside id and stand as witnesses of an important architectural activity promoted by the monasteries, but also by lay persons. The weight of tradition is still felt in the small windows, the thick walls or the vertical supports as well as in the size of portals, although one can observe a remarkable capacity for adopting the new style and therefore to combine new with old in a rather remarkable way, the aesthetic effect being one of multiplicity of forms and pervading eclectic. From 1248 onwards, the adoption of gothic features was to be encouraged by the building of the cathedral at Clermont

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to study Breton religious painting between the XVII and the XVIII centuries. Although the richness of Breton religious heritage is well known, little attention has been given so far to Breton religious painting during this period because of its alleged poorness. This thesis is divided into four sections. Each one will analyse in depth the following topics : First an analysis of the structures of patronage and artistic commissions. These range from choosing the artist, methods and techniques through to contracts and final payments. Next, this thesis look into the different centres of artistic production and the social and economic contexts in which the artists worked. Attention will also be given to the artist's place in society and his training. Then the examine of the painter's profession : analysis of task distribution within the workshop and of the painters' influence. Understanding of painter's technical ability and nature of his work through the study of sources, especially prints. Then lastly, this thesis surveys the amount and range of paintings.

Full textWhile cultual obligations are fading away, initiatives from private collectors, associations, sacred art museums to preserve Christian material heritage are growing. First, this study investigates individuals’ ways to distance themselves from Catholicism, in adulthood: objects are used to hold together a biographic and cultural memory. The autonomy of aesthetic from religion neutralizes objects’ cultual value; however they may acquire new ritual functions which extend or transpose domestic use of Christian traditions. Secondly, this study sheds light on religion officers’ position, caught in between two institutional movements of heritage summons – either ecclesiastical or governmental. This analysis leads to the conclusion that it is extremely difficult to work with liturgical objects and quasi-impossible to make non-religious sacred art museums. Museography seems to be helpless to resuscitate as a culture the so-called “shared heritage”

Full textA recent census shows that from the roughly 350 medieval wall-painted buildings to be found in the 5 departments of this diversified region, only half remains today. Among them, 36 may date back to the romanesque period, 50 to the XIVth century, 4 to the XVth, 50 to the end of the XVth and beginning of the XVIth, and 81 at last to the XVIth century. One could wish there had been some artistic center or famous workshop in Aquitaine. Although the first period reveals its links with the Poitou , the Languedoc or the Catalonia, the XIVth century is more creative with a style of its own, wich is sometimes similar to court art ; the end of the middle-ages is fertile but tends to denegerate and become moral ; eventually some trends from the North or from Italy (via the Southern Garonne) made this period lose part of its technical skills and meet a style crisis. Most of paintingscan be found first in the department of the Gironde, then the Dordogne, the Landes, the Lot-et-Garonne and finally the Pyrenees-Atlantiques. Nevertheless, creation has been affected by a long time of war (from 1345 to 1453) wich destroyed the countyside, by the fact that monasteries tended to settle in town and sometimes became austere, by the location at the crossroads on the way to Santiago de Compostela, and finally by the protestant revolution (1540-1592) wich was still deeply rooted. At the end of the period , the parishes would borrow their decoration items from the XIVth and XVth century, without trying to innovate

Full textThe imaginary of the Jew in northern France and in England, as well in the texts as in the pictures, is represend from the twelfth to the fifteenth century by two main figures: the murderer of Christ and the infidel. The Jew’s guilt of Christ’s crucifixion is alleged and repeated in the allegations of christian children murders which occur in the second half of the twelfth century and in the charges of host desecration, particularly in the miracle of billettes in 1920. As the devotion to the suffering Christ is increasing, the Jew is described as Christ’s torturer, becoming a character of the passion plays in the end of the middle ages. As a non-christian, the Jew is considered as synagogue's child and as a permanent source of blasphemy within the Christian society. He becomes an emblematic figure of the infidelity, more than the Saracen, but he is not considered as a real danger of apostasy or heresy. Surprisingly, the associations between the Jew and the devil are very exceptional, even if some iconographic attributes of the Jew come from those of the devil. The study of the physical distortions, the clothing differences, the Jewish badge, and the headdress in the pictures confirms that there is not a typical representation of the Jew
Brodier, Sébastien. "L'histoire d'une place forte à l'époque moderne : Givet." Reims, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005REIML002.
Full textThis study aims to render, through the example of Givet, all the complexity of the historical object strong place in early modern period. Givet has been chosen because of two peculiarities which matter to account for. From 1555 to 1680, it is placed under the sovereignty of the Habsburg of Madrid, at that time masters of the "pays de par-deçà". After 1680, it is part of the kingdom of France. This passage under the banner of the flowers of lily hasn't been questioned during the rest of the period. It allows accordingly analysing in which measure it constitutes a breaking for each of the elements that structure the life of the strong place. Another particularity of Givet rests in its links with the Episcopal principality of Liege. These one, former to the period, don't break up before the Revolution. The will of apprehending on the long duration the evolution of each of the elements around which gets the life of the strong place gets organised makes that several axis of study have been followed parallel. The first concerns the fortified whole. Is studied the way of which the principles of "Trace italienne" are brought into operation to constitute it, then to improve it. Choices made by the successive sovereigns relating to fortifications of Givet reveal however a lot of other things than simple technical considerations. To understand their real bearing involves reconstructing the evolution of strategic context, but financial too. The study of a strong place is also this of its military personal. Prosopography permits to throw lights on the evolutions that know the group of the individuals who are in charge of its command, and the one of the technical responsibles. In the case of soldiers, accounts are more useful. It is the same thing for economical relations between civilians and the army. The firsts find a real benefice in these connections. This one is not cancelled by the eventual social or religious disorders generated by the presence of servicemen

Originated from the will of devoted sleeping partners and come up to clergy's expectations which is concerned about the decency of its church, the altar is created by painters, sculptors and joiners who are inspired by Parisian models but create original decorations with local know-how. Consequently, this study which concerns the decoration of the altar inside little country church accounts for two realities. First, it explains the implementation of the principles defined by the Concil. Secondly, it interests a history if styles in the provinces under the old regime. Finally, this thesis is an opportunity for bringing an unrecognized patrimony to light : painting and sculpture from the 17th and 18th centuries in the region of Vire
Bontemps, Sébastien. "Le décor sculpté religieux à Paris (1660-1760)." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012AIXM3110.
Full textThis work on the religious sculptured decoration in Paris had for ambition to built the image of a partially disappeared heritage : the space interns of the Parisian church between 1660 and 1760 through the liturgical furniture, the relief decoration or in round-bump, in the nave, the transept and the choir of the churches of the capital of the kingdom. Our study so analyzes the religious sculpture in its immediate space, between monumental art and decorative art, the end of the big royal religious orders of the XVIIth century, such the Dome des Invalides, in the advent of the neoclassicism in the choir of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois in 1760, before the resumption of the big royal construction works, inaugurated by the works in the basilica saint-Geneviève. Even if a part of these decorations was destroyed in the Revolution, it is possible to determinate exactly their contents : the destroyed elements are analyzed from numerous iconographic and written sources which allow to restore the eye of the contemporary in a church. Thanks to the discovery of contracts of archives, it was possible to determine the conditions and the material and religious factors of the order. The study of the critical texts, stemming from the contemporary artistic and religious theory, raises the problem of the luxury of the religious decoration, as well as the problem of the organization of the internal space of the church, and on which is widely dependent the stylistic and formal evolution of the decoration. This work combine art history, history of the picture, economic history and religious history to contributes to the knowledge of an underestimated French artistic heritage

Full textRestaurator of the catholic religion in the Chablais région from 1694 to 1698, saint Francis of Sales (1567-1622), prince-archbishop, since 1602 of the Geneva diocèse, exiled in Annecy, tries to reform mentalities according to the concil of Trente. Director of conscience and wellknown author of l'Introduction à la vie dévote and Traité de l'amour de Dieu, he his the subject of numerous books and works. Nevertheless even though some reflecxions and studies do existe one might regret the absence of a general recension of salesian iconographic elements. With a commented iconographic corpus of 233 paintings, composed of portraits of wich is studied the genesis since "portrait à la dérobée" up to an official portrait and scenes with saints, this study brings a new look concerning the person of this important saint. Realised from a difined and significant territory : "Les Pays de Savoie", covers 4 dioceses (Annecy, Chambéry, Maurienne and Tarentaise) in which 670 churches and more than one hundred chapels were visited, this research invite historiens to take images for reals sources. In fact, painting canvas, presence of the saint, model to imitate, demonstration of faith or theological message gives also an interesting image of the silent partners, of the artists, and those who are devoted to him as well as in patrimonial than in local memory since 4 centuries. At the end of the study, his exuberant presence in Savoy confirms that saint François de Sales is always a federate element of Savoy religious cultural identity

Full textThe expression of "painters of Parma" we mean Correggio and Parmigianino. These two artists have held an important position in the french art criticism in the 17th and 18th century. In this work we intend to answer the following question: how were Correggio and Parmigianino considered in France before 1789? This interrogation brought us first to study the iconographic origins, that is to say the painting- and drawing-collections, the copies and prints from the pictures by the painters of Parma. Then we tried to collect the main french writings about both painters. We end by a study of the stylistic influence of the painters of Parma on french art from 16th to 18th century. From the investigation of the french criticism comes out an image of Correggio and Parmigianino which differs slightly from our actual vision

Full textBy observing the diocesan commission on sacred art, this work examines the esthetic results of liturgical project of restoration ratified by the second Vatican concil. In particular, the examination of the literary resources, producted or employed by these commissions, allows to emphasize how the theorists and the experts of the liturgy compose, from theology, sensitive arhitectures adjusted to their practices. By means of those documents, this work propose to explore how contemporary catholic church manages the esthetisation of its worship by laying the objective ressources allowing sensitive access to the Christian god, paradoxically considered unperceivable. In this manner, the human activities managing the composition of these worship environments can be discribed like a theological architecture which informs production of the solutions of access and contact to the divine one. This, the observation argues how this church reformulates the spatialized inscription of the christian god in the enclosure of the sanctuary. Consequently, the opeartions concerned with the application of this stabilizing economy tend to define a dynamics of homologation of the form "sacred art"

Full textL’oeuvre écrite de l’abbé Suger de Saint-Denis à propos de la reconstruction de son église abbatiale est l’objet de nombreuses recherches depuis les années 1940. Puisqu’il fut longtemps considéré comme le fondateur de l’architecture dite « gothique », ses écrits ont attiré l’attention de ceux qui cherchaient la source de ce style, la doctrine philosophique derrière l’oeuvre architecturale. Or, les études consacrées à Suger ont évoqué l’exaltation d’un processus anagogique — du matériel vers le spirituel — et mis en valeur l’utilisation de la lumière dans l’église dans certains passages isolés, sans forcément prendre en compte l’ensemble des écrits sur Saint-Denis ni l’ensemble des processus entourant l’édification de l’église. L’abbé donna en effet dans ses écrits une place importante à la production issue des terres du monastère, à leur administration, aux matériaux spécifiques employés dans la construction de l’église et dans la fabrication des objets sacrés et des ornements qu’il avait commandités, ainsi qu’aux méthodes par lesquelles il avait obtenu les moyens d’y parvenir. Il accorda — semble-t-il — une attention très nette au rôle du labeur (labor) et de l’ouvrage (opus) des artisans, à son propre rôle d’administrateur et à la dimension matérielle des oeuvres dédiées à Dieu. Pour Suger, tous ces éléments semblent avoir été inclus dans un processus de donation et de transformation incluant tous les membres du corps social, processus dans lequel il jouait le rôle de maître d’oeuvre en étant tout à la fois administrateur, donateur, auteur et dévot. Nous proposons donc, dans le cadre de ce mémoire, de situer sa conception de la dimension matérielle des oeuvres d’art dans le processus de transformation dont il fut l’auteur.

Full textThis thesis about the house at isenheim belonging to the order of st. Anthony is an attempt to appreciate its commitment concerning hospital affairs. A thorough study allowed to specify various methods of treatment used : the balsan of st. Anthony, discovered in a recipe of the 18th century, the holy wine, the amputations meticulously described by Hans Von Gersdorff, a surgean who worked for the hospital of st. Anthony at strasbourg at the beginning of the 16th century, in his book "feldbuch derwundarznei". Throughout the middle ages the fame of the hospital at Issenheim is attested several times. In the second part of the thesis the different types of income of the house have been examined. In the middle ages the collections were the most important part. The gifts, the tithes and the rents completed the income. With the reformation the principal sorts of income collections and gifts - faded away. This research also helps to complete our knowledge about the church for which the famous altar-piece of Mathias Grunewald was made. The results confirm those of A. Mischlewski about the order as a whole :the order of st. Anthony was a hospital order which till the 16th century and in some places even longer remained true to its principles : the care and support of the poor and the sick
Métral, Florian. "Les figures de la genèse : représenter la création du monde dans l'art italien de la Renaissance." Thesis, Paris 1, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA01H037.
Full textThe emergence of Renaissance in Italy was associated with a renewed interest in the questioning of origins and, more specifically, in the creation of the world. The humanist discourse in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries was permeated by figures of the genesis that ceaselessly glorified the matrix functionality of the cosmogonic myth to conceive the relationship to the present time. Images, and more specifically works of art, constitute the visible remnants of these contemplations, affecting the religious and philosophical representation of the beginning, as well as the visual means used by the artists to portray the mystery of the first birth. The first part of this study analyses the idea of the creation of the world, during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, through the portrayal of its fundamental role in the practice of history; the construction of knowledge about nature; and the exercise of power. The second and third part of this thesis take the form of case studies focusing on mural paintings - the vault of the Sistine Chapel, completed in 1512, to the Sala della Creazione of Palazzo Besta, completed at the end of the Cinquecento. Finally, the fourth part of this study will explore the poetic and figurative drive emerging from the analogy between the creation of the world and the artistic practice, illustrated via an evocative ensemble of texts and images. During the Renaissance, the theorized iconography of the world’s creation yielded the concept of “artistic creation” and of the work of art as a universe modeled by the artist, thus introducing the modern notion of art

Full textThe topic of this thesis is the Marca dynasty, a piedmontese family from the Valsesia area, specialized in the stucco work. In the early eighteenth century, some of its members migrated to the Franche-Comté in France, in search of work, the others remaining in Piedmont. Their realizations can be studied in religious places and private houses in Italy, in Franche-Comté and Burgundy. These works (altars, pulpits, statues and bas-reliefs in stucco) were created between the late seventeenth century and the early nineteenth century. This topic is entirely unpublished, especially as the information on this family are rare and scattered. Moreover, no research has been undertaken on it, neither in France nor in Italy. This study is well an analysis on this Italian family and its activity. The thesis provides an accurate biography of each member, defines the organization, methods and techniques of the stucco work, the inventory of their works, and position them in the artistic and religious context of their time. The archives of Burgundy, Doubs, Jura, Haute-Saône in France and of the regions of Biella and Vercelli in Italy have been exploited. Visit a large number of Italian and French buildings decorated with Marca’s furniture or near their style has been also necessary to carry out this work. The main objective was to place the Marca dynasty in its geographical, historical and cultural context, to understand its organization and specificity, to define accurately its style from recognized works, to be able to propose new attributions

Full textVegetables gardens of royal properties and aristocratic houses are gardens which are thought to be essential in the Ile-de-France region as they filled the owners’ table with fruits and vegetables all the year round. They were the witnesses of a change of mentality which took place within the French society during the Ancien Régime between the end of the seventeenth century and the end of the eighteenth century. A the end of the studied period, this garden, which was a source of well-being combining physical exercise and intellectual thought, became the symbol of the nobility’s decline, in particular through the luxurious and unnatural production of early fruit and vegetables. Gardeners and their labour forces thus played an essential role, bearing in mind the equipments and the tools at their disposal. The expertises developed thanks to scientific research (botany) combined with technical progresses. Hothouses became indispensable at the end of the eighteenth century and enabled to grow exotic plants. The fruit and edible cultivations tried to satisfy the demands of the lords of the places as far as beauty and taste (texture and flavour) were concerned in order to be thus distinguished from peasants’ gardens. The notion of aesthetic can be indeed found in the line of the garden, which does not exclude the walk, but it can also be found in the behaviour of fruit trees, which cover the walls and adorn the gardens. The beauty of the fruit also comes into play in both the garden and the plate. The vegetable garden is thus a full-fledged garden, in close connection with the house, even if it is sometimes controversial. It is subject to fashion and it has quite rightly a place within the general arrangement of parks. This study is based on examples from Versailles, Trianon, Fontainebleau, Compiègne, Meudon, Bellevue, Choisy, Sceaux, Chantilly, La Roche Guyon, L'Isle Adam, Pontchartrain, Chamarande and Méréville

Full text“In the beginning God created Heaven and Earth”. Opening of the first chapter of the Genesis,the most well-known incipit of all time sums up both the imagery and the main idea of the Creation of the World that has existed in the west for thousands of years. However, this biblical conception of Creation starts to weaken in the beginning of the XVIIth century and to expand to embrace scientific views when secular ideas of evolution or the laws of mechanics shook the biblical tradition of the six-Day Creation narrative. The once unique idea of a World Creation becomes a more complex concept at the crossroads between sacred and profaneand authorized innovative pictures representing, for example, God blowing the Cartesian cosmogenic whirlpools or giving thrust to the terrestrial mechanism inspired by Voltaire. When the groundbreaking theories on the Creation were published, it was necessary to focus on the artistic reinterpretations of the myth. Based on a great diversity of images – biblical, scientific,alchemical – we’ll try to analyze how biblical iconography stands still at the time of the global secularization of the world in which, as a paradoxical authority or an unconscious standard, the image of the Creator holds up the complex relationship between Man and his Mythology

Full textThis thesis, based almost exclusively on firsthand records, introduces the church decorating from Maurice Denis (1870-1973) in the interwar period, studied from an iconographic, formal and technical point of view, set back in context with the life and the work of the artist and investigated in light of the artistic, architectural, historical and religious background of these days. The Ateliers d'art sacré, created with George Desvallières in 1919, which brings to the master numerous commissions and a skilled labor, are also provoked. His theories on religious art are analyzed too and compared with the texts from George Desvallières, Alexandre Cingria, Jacques Maritain or Père Couturier. A catalogue raisonné of his religious decorating, accomplished between 1914 and 1943 or still remaining in a project state (wall paintings, stained glass windows and mosaic) altogether with a complete corpus of the decorating pictures in situ, of the preparatory works and a some unpublished documents, allows an exhaustive and informed review on some still unknown decorating. This thesis, intending to look at the mature Maurice Denis from a different perspective, rehabilitates his decorative wooks, long-discretized, in replacing them in the course of the sacred art renewal of the 20st century

Full textFrance and Belgium organised several international and colonial exhibitions, as well as universal exhibitions or World Fairs, from the end of the 20th century to 1958. Through these world exhibitions, these two great colonial powers developed various forms of propaganda to account for their “civilizing missions”. Protestant and catholic missionaries took part in those great celebrations. By reading and working on archives of religious congregations such as the congregation of the Holy Spirit, The Jesuit, and the oeuvre de la Propagation de la Foi, but also the French, Belgian and Swedish national archives and the Holy Sea archives, I was able to understand how the missionaries organized themselves to take part in those exhibitions in France and Belgium. The missionaries organised exhibitions in ever growing pavilions which would become huge architectural complexes, from the 1897 exhibition (taking place in Tervuren) to the 1935 and 1958 exhibitions (taking place in Brussels), not forgetting the 1900, 1931 and 1937 Paris exhibitions. The way missionaries staged their work changed and evolved. Indeed, “indigenous” artifacts were gradually less displayed and missionaries used dioramas, stylish statistics and lit-up maps instead. The architecture of the pavilion was in itself telling, a good example of this being the 1931 pavilion of the Catholic missions. The way missionaries staged their exhibitions reflected the changes in their worldview. The colonized populations and their cultures were more and more emphasized, while the link with the colonization was less and less asserted and straightforward

Full textAs an important aristocratic family in medieval Normandy, the Estoutevilles (or Stutevilles) took part in several events that shaped this region of France, from the Norman Conquest to the Hundred Years’ War. These feats along with various marriages with Norman aristocratic and even royal family members allowed the Estoutevilles to progressively climb the ranks to reach the highest echelons of medieval society. A lot of the members of this family was buried within the abbey church of Valmont, which was founded by Nicolas I d’Estouteville during the 12th century. The Estouteville family have used their monuments to confirm their particular status within the feudal society, be it by the location of their burial grounds within the abbatial church they were buried, by their monumentality, the quality of the materials or by their epigraphic, heraldic and iconographic elements. Indeed, by imitating those of other great feudal lines, the tombs of the Estouteville truly participate in the construction of the identity of this family, notably through their relations with the monastic community of Valmont.

Full textThe following study on geo-strategic expeditions falls into two parts: the first one deals with the tactics and strategies used by the various protagonists mainly England and France. In this part, we have a chronological presentation of each of the expeditions and an analysis of the factors leading to the success or the failure of each of them (14 chapters ). As to the second part it deals with three aspects which, according to the first analysis, seem to have played a most deciding role: *the characteristics of the war ships that were sent in order to gauge their effects according to the results previously obtained ( 2 chapters ) *the sanitary problems (2 chapters). (The first chapter quantifies from the ships muster and pay books the losses of two squadrons. The second chapter analyses the factors conditioning losses in the sanitary field). *the logistics of the supplies (9 chapters - England and France)

Full textBetween 1820 and 1870, the State and the French cities are implementing - using a great budget - a massive order to fill the churches with monumental sculptures to serve a liturgical and educational purpose. The first part of this study examines the synoptic approach to religious sculpture of the nineteenth century, through the major programs. This leads to an overall view of a chronological evolution complicated by changes in expectations and ambitions and therefore to be aware of the status of cultural frontispieces that churches had acquired trough sculpture. This study also shows the prominent places that Christ and the Virgin generally occupy within these carved sets. The liturgical space initiated by the Restauration inherits expiatory dimension from the Revolution and the Empire. This pain mixed with hope and faith guided the execution of the Virgin and Child, crucified Christs and Pieta, giving them a decisive liturgical function. The period finally knows, in terms of hagiographic representation, a surprising abundance. The third part examines the numerous representations of the saints as a mean used by the restoration of religion to foster an intercessional relationship that has always been strong in France. Hence, a triple dialogue is highlighted: one between artists in time, one between subjects in the theological and theocratic imaginary, and one between forms in the overlaps - sometimes surprising - of stylistic genealogies

Full textThe manuscript of the Bible moralisee to which this study is partly dedicated, is located in the Treasury of the Toledo cathedral chapter in Spain. This study deals also with the duplicate copy which was realized soon afterwards. The interpretation and illustrations of the verses vary in number according to the books of the Bible. Though being one of the smallest biblical books, the Song of Solomon is given outstanding consideration, more than any other book in the Bible. The central theme--the espousal of the Bride and the Bridegroom, Christ and Ecclesia being its allegory--enjoyed a considerable success in medieval theology. It corresponded to the courtly love atmosphere of its time. Abundant commentary literature and the development of mariology made this book even more popular. About a quarter of the commentary illustrations are dedicated to the theme Christus-Ecclesia. Ecclesia, always crowned, holds the chalice which confirms her sacramental significance. In no other known iconographical medieval programme has Ecclesia such a position.
The question raised by the problematic around this Bible is the eventual intention being at the origin of this order which, without any doubt, emanates from French royalty. Has it been produced to enhance the prestige of royalty? Is it a pedagogical work intended for the education of the royal children? Was it meant to be a royal political gift? The Ecclesia theme in the Bible is the exaltation of, or an hommage to the Church, spiritual or temporal, by the French royalty of the thirteenth century.

Full textThe iconographic language of the hands is a conventional system used by the painters in order to provide some particular discursive, affective and symbolical functions to their characters. In our work, we show that the analysis of the figurative gestures reveals new narrative structures. The different gestural signs are studied according to their origins, usages, connotations and stylistics in the French art of the 17th and 18th centuries. With the aim of understanding the semantic potential of the hand and its implication in the works of art, we referred to multiple epistemic fields. In this study, we underline the importance of the chirology, discipline exploring the meaningful configurations of the hands and their possible applications. The pictorial gestures are not isolated but involved in interactional schemas, connected to the genre and the composition of the work of art. The study of the language of the hands favours the dialogue between the History of art and other scientific disciplines,engaged in the questions of perception, representation and memory

Full textAfter listing the examples of female saints used in the Proven cal and Alpine public paintings in the XVth century, this study notes limited sanctoral representations (Mary Magdalen, martyr virgins), the absence oflocal saints, and explores the consequences of these choices (polysemy of saintliness, visuallayout). The main corpus, made up of retables, mural paintings and exempla, is completed by hagiography, calendars and the commission contracts (prix-faits). There is a discrepancy between the fact that the figure of the female saint turns out to be limited in some media (painting, exempla), and with both the popularity of pilgrimages and the feminization of contemporary spirituality. This study looks into the common use of female saintliness and the visual conventions related to the central figure of Mary Magdalene and to the homogeneous group of martyr virgins that works out as a series. The visual function of the attribute, the fonns of identity, and the classifications are analysed. The figure of Saint Lucy, the specific mechanisms of the organ-attribute and the visual variations on the gender of the female saints bear witness to the suggestive inventivity of images, and lead to a redefinition of the polysemic notion of saintliness

Full textThe interwar years in France witnessed a revival of sacred Art. After the 1905 law on the separation of Church and State, the Church had to reorganize and renew its spiritual message and reposition its action in the context of a changing society. The creation of religious art workshops as well as the launching of the Parisian “Chantiers du Cardinal”, initiated by cardinal Verdier, supported by a number of reviews such as L’Art Sacré, gave a new impulse to the production of religious art. The diocese of Bayonne took a full part in this initiative. It was keen to contribute in original and dynamic ways to this new direction and tried to include regional elements and in particular features reflecting Basque and Bearnais identities. The joint work done by bishops and priests involved in building churches, architects, glassmakers and mosaic artists, painters, sculptors and even goldsmiths, shows how well-established and even conventional designs were revisited to produce an art which hesitated between daring innovation and compromise. Indeed, the sacred art of the diocese of Bayonne was marked by a mixture of tradition and renewal, regionalism and modernity
