Humbert, Jean-Marcel. "L'égyptomanie : sources, thèmes et symboles : étude de la réutilisation des thèmes décoratifs empruntés à l'Egypte ancienne dans l'art occidental du XVIe siècle à nos jours." Paris 4, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987PA040295.
Full textThe catalogue of this thesis has been taken from a data base specially created. Its 1370 notices give thousands of references; the notices are classified according to themes in the course of six chronological periods. Thanks to these selected objects, it has been possible to study the sources and the constituent parts of the Egyptian revival according to periods and countries, to index the Egyptian themes more often used, to measure their degree of adaptation, and to identify the symbols contained in the different creations. The sources of egyptomania are taken from archeological items, travel accounts, exceptional events and former egyptianizing creations; but the evolution of the fidelity of the interpretations doesn’t follow necessarily the increasing of the knowledge of ancient Egypt. The chronological study points out several evolutions: egyptomania, created at the beginning for esthetes’' pleasure, soon becomes democratized; the archeological discovering and publications give new possibilities to it; it can use many new means of expression (movies, cartoons, comic-strips and adverting) and thus increased its audience. The thematic study of the egyptianizing objects and creations shows how easily egyptomania adapts itself and mixes with the style of the period. A repertory of the themes taken from ancient Egypt shows which ones are used most. Egyptianizing items carry lots of symbols from ancient Egypt and from the time of their making; using numerous concepts (dream, fear, laugh), egyptomania, as well as Egypt, has a strong impact on people. The Egyptian revival is more than part of exotism and anticomania; it is an independent current more alive and fascinating to-day than ever
Zivie-Coche, Christiane. "Autour du temple d'Isis dame des pyramides ou Giza au premier millénaire." Paris 4, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987PA040347.
Full textThe plateau of Giza is one of the most famous, if not most well-known, sites of Egypt, not far from Cairo. The history of the site is linked with the beginnings of the history of Egypt and the first dynasties. It will last, almost without any gap, until the Greco-Roman period. The pyramids of the IVth dynasty, erected by Khufu, Khephren and Mykerinos and the great sphinx, appear obviously as the most striking features of the site. Nevertheless its life will survive for two other millenniums after the end of the old kingdom. New cults appeared. The worshipping of Harmachis, as the Egyptians called the great sphinx, and his pilgrimage began during the 18th dynasty and lasted during the first millennium. At that time, the devotion to Isis was increasing; the goddess was known as the "mistress of the pyramids" who protected the whole site. The funerary chapel of the southern subsidiary pyramid, east of Khufu's pyramid, was restored and enlarged to be used as a cult chapel for Isis. Inscriptions and artefacts, stelae, statues, etc. Have been left by the priests and the worshippers of the goddess. A good part of them have not been published before. Owing to these new data, it has been possible to reconstruct the history of the site

Full textThe study of the spatial and architectural organization of the paleochristian monasteries (IVth-VIIth century’s a. D. ) Of the Alexandria patriarchate, the Jerusalem patriarchate and the Antioch patriarchate, necessitates comparison of indications given by texts and by archaeology. On the one hand, the analysis of some hagiographic accounts, and of the basilian and pachomian rules, shows the variety of the ways of life, from the anachoretic life to coenobitism, sheltered by the monastic communities of the paleochristian near east. The same monastery could lodge, at one and the same time monks living totally or partly with the community, or ascetics living in cells. On the other hand, the monastic sites which have been the subject of archaeological excavations, can be classified in three main groups: the + monasteries with grouped buildings;, the laures, the architectural components of which are linked by a path, and the + monastic towns ;. The last, of large dimensions shelter monasteries with grouped buildings and laures. Archaeological study shows the architectural elements of the monasteries' components, such as the refectories, the kitchens or even the towers, whereas the texts may help to understand their purpose
Semat, Aude. "L’image de la tombe en Égypte ancienne. Histoire iconographique d’un motif (XVIIIe – XXIIe dynasties)." Thesis, Paris 4, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA040043.
Full textThe study examines the representation of architecture in painting (or architectura picta) in ancient Egypt, through a case study of the tomb as an iconographical motif during the New Kingdom and the early Third Intermediate Period.After an overview of the principles of Egyptian representation and the architectural images in ancient Egypt, in all their diversity, the study focuses on the iconographical evocation of the necropolis and the tomb’s surroundings. An important part of this study concerns the mountain as an object of representation and in particular, its origins during the XVIIIth Dynasty, as well as dealing with landscape depictions in ancient Egypt.The funerary architecture is put in painting during the XVIIIth Dynasty, within depictions of funerary rites in private tombs. If the first tomb depictions refer to sacred architecture, according to representational conventions ; they show realistic elements in the course of the XVIIIth Dynasty, being modeled after the tomb architecture as it is during the New Kingdom, which is to say a pyramid-topped tomb. This tomb motif is integrated into the Egyptian iconographical repertoire and remains on coffins and funerary papyri, after the pyramid tomb itself disappeared from architecture in the Third Intermediate Period.The underlying question in this study is the relation to reality in Egyptian painting, but also the function of the tomb image
Long, Laurent. "Les sept classiques militaires dans la pensée stratégique chinoise contemporaine." Paris, INALCO, 1999. http://www.theses.fr/1999INAL0003.
Full textAs sinicized Asia secures a more and more important part in the political, military, economic and cultural affairs of the world, it becomes quite necessary to know which philosophy and notions will guide and inspire future endeavours of the P. R. C. , Taiwan and other countries that have been deeply influenced by Chinese culture. China's martial tradition - of which the "Seven Military Classics" may be considered the essence - far from having been brushed aside by westernization, is indeed still referred to by the Chinese of our times. Having expounded the strategic thought of Ancient China, this study will deal with writings of political leaders and generals, including both Nationalists and Communists. Finally, the huge amount of reprints, commentary and research on the "Military classics", of the people involved, of its purpose and aims will be analysed. The most important leaders and strategists of our century may have been influenced by the "Military Classics" or a derivate tradition, they may have been taught in military schools and thoroughly studied by scholars, some limits do however stand out : they have not been "all" generals' nor "all" military academies' reference works ; they have been neglected during the Republic era and between 1957 and 1976 ; Party line and politics tends to interfere with scientific research on this matter. Nevertheless, a keen interest on the part of the Chinese vis-à-vis the military treatises of old cannot be denied. They make up the reference for practical ways and means to serve military, political or business endeavours and a Chinese model of warfare to be taken as broad principles rather than any kind of rigid doctrine

Full textBetween the middle of the Ist century A. D. And the Vth century A. D. , the region of Gāndhāra (nowadays the Peshāwar valley) has been one of the main centers of a very peculiar artistic production, that strongly testify to the local diffusion of Buddhism. The specificity of this artistic school is to represent events, sometimes secondary, of the life of the Buddha, and to set them in varyious chronological sequences. During the same period, two texts narrating the Buddha's life were possibly known, if not circulating in this very area : the Buddhacarita and the Mahāvastu. Both texts have been used in order to identify a given personage or a particular aspect of a figurative scene, proceeding thus by some sort of admitted correspondence or analogy whereas this approach reveals to be problematic. As a matter of fact indeed, the element under investigation, and even if apparently it denotes a similar meaning, intervenes differently and plays a different role in both media. The present essay aims at demonstrating the importance of an in-depth analysis and identification of the elements and variants specific to each source, as a propedeutic to their confrontation. Having this hypothesis in mind, we have compared 364 scenes, distributed among seventeen episodes, with the relevant textual passages, while searching the principles governing the organisation of the singular episodes. The interesting result of our analysis is that though at first glance the two types of sources seem to be heterogeneous, actually and rather quickly they appear to display a common underlying logic that testify to the vivacity and inner coherence of the buddhist productions of that time

Full textTout au long de sa vie, ses sources d'inspiration sont intimement liées à la femme. Cette thèse souhaite aller plus loin que les études existantes: d'une part en envisageant la femme dans tous ses rôles (danseuse, diva, écrivaine, amie, starlette,) et d'autre part, en étudiant la série qui lui est consacrée. Ce regard minutieux sur les variations au sein d'une série est l'un des points forts et totalement inédits de cette thèse. Il permet d’observer le renouvellement de l’obsession et le goût pour la collection, au sens où Baudrillard l’entend.
En première partie, l'angle d'approche consiste à observer, les stratégies de l'artiste qui tente de s'approprier la femme par la mise en boîte, en bouteille, en dossier,
En deuxième partie, nous observerons la manière dont il installe une distance qui permet à la muse de rester inaccessible – au sens romantique voire nervalien du terme. La distance peut-être d'ordre surnaturel: la femme prend alors les traits d'une fée ou d'une sylphide ;temporelle (la muse est imaginée enfant) ;spatiale (la muse prend vie sous forme de constellation). Autre stratégie d'évocation: "le portrait sans visage" où le corps de la muse est totalement absent, seul « un objet symbolique) fait référence à la femme désignée. Il peut s’agir d’une chambre ou d’une lampe de mineur pour évoquer Emily Dickinson ou une poupée pour évoquer La Belle au Bois dormant. Vers la fin des années cinquante, Cornell réalise des « boîtes-mémoriaux » en hommage à des jeunes trop tôt disparues.
La troisième partie tente d’étudier comment Cornell « transcende » l’idée de mort.
Enfin, en quatrième partie, nous dresserons un bref inventaire des collages des années soixante ayant comme thème central le nu féminin. Cornell quittant un matériel « nostalgique » afin de « charge d’innocence » des images qu’il considère comme érotiques.
Cette étude s'appuie, entre autres, sur une vingtaine d'œuvres analysées qui n'ont jamais été publiées, une trentaine d'autres qui n'ont jamais été commentées. Plus d'un tiers des œuvres choisies bénéficient d'une recherche de sources totalement inédites, se voyant ainsi placée sous un nouveau regard interprétatif. Et enfin, les œuvres sont mises en rapport avec les sources littéraires qui les ont nourries (Aurélia de Gérard de Nerval, Le Portrait de Jennie, la poésie d’Emily Dickinson, la biographie de Marilyn Monroe ou les écrits de Mary Eddy Baker, …).

Full textThe main subject of this thesis is an analysis of the "problems of pictures in Islam". We have considered Prophet Muhammad’s hadiths that prohibit pictures of living creatures as the best access to the aesthetics of Islamic art. Monotheism is the essence of religion in Islam. It is a vision of man, world, and god. This vision has led Islamic art to surpass the relative to the absolute, the immediate to the conceptual. Hence, the aesthetics of Islamic art depend on the conceptual and the imaginal, more than on the imitation of given appearance of nature. We have explained that there is no true appreciation of abstraction and stylized forms, without a deep comprehension of spiritual principles of Islam. The Islamic society of middle-ages has understood the banning of pictures of living creatures as a question of faith. The author of this thesis doesn't discuss the aesthetics of Islamic art from a personal angle; discusses them in regard to the situation of pictures in Islam, and the impact of the conception of man, world, and god, in the mystical experience of Islam, whose teachings are based on the coran, and the tradition of prophet Muhammad. Among the soufis, we have chosen the thoughts of the great master ibn arabi 1165-1240, who had assimilated the experience of five centuries of spiritual Islam. Through ibn arabi, we have studied the reality of Islamic art, in three expressions:1) abstraction and stylization,2) arabesque,3) calligraphy. By this study, we have proved that ibn arabi isn't only a great soufi, but also an aesthete and a critic of art, who has presented to us a deep explanation of the problem of pictures in Islam, through the "world of imagination". This a new portrait of the great Islamic saint ibn arabi; accordingly to it, the aesthetics of Islamic art find its main fundaments in Islamic metaphysics
Cueff, Alain. "De la Dernière Cène aux Marilyn, un examen des sources chrétiennes et de leur incidence dans l'oeuvre d'Andy Warhol." Thesis, Tours, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011TOUR2017.
Full textThe work of Andy Warhol has been evaluated in the context of Pop Art, and scholarship favored a number of themes: the condition of the mass media image, Marcel Duchamp's legacy, the paradoxes of modernism, the status of commodities, the notion of originality of the artwork... So that his specific culture, established in a stringent relationship to Christian religion, has regularly been largely ignored. This dissertation envisions the articulation of a religious culture and thinking to modern praxis and topics. Thus, a change of paradigm and perspective is required. It became necessary to substantiate how the Christian inspiration reveals itself in the work and modify its interpretation. The issues of incarnation and individuation, as Warhol handles them in his series of commissioned portraits, can't be understood without an extended examination of his relationship to Christian theology. More generally, this standpoint does stress Warhol's complex attitude towards modernism

Full textOne of the features of Maghreb in modern historiography is the "discontinuity" of its history. This characteristic is very clear especially for the era which separate the end of the antiquity from the beginning of the middle-age. By taking the north of Morocco as an example, this research tempts to restore the ties betwen the tow periods. From a new reading of the medieval arabic sources, this work aims at the research for new data concerning the history and archeology of the antique period on the one hand, and the examination of the image of this history as it was reconstructed and elaborated by the arab historians, on the other. Thus, this thesis is constituted of tow principal axes : first, we have analysed the totality of the learnings of the rabic writers relative to the maghribian antiquities in comparison with the data of the classical sources, then, we have studied the geographical texts to draw the informations concerning the vestiges of the antique periode. Both on the historical level and the on that of the historical geography, this study allows to apen new perspectives for other researches in the future

Full textAs I had to translate little considered Arabic texts in the study of the Crusades in the past years, it seemed interesting to use my knowledge of Latin, Arabic and medieval French to analyse the various chronicles written in these languages. Concerning the languages that I didn't know – Byzantine Greek, Armenian and Syriac – I used the best translations that I could find. Besides this new reading of the sources, I went through the numerous scholarly literature of the 19th and 20th centuries : some obscure sides can be clarified and new ways of research proposed. This written Ph. D. Wants to shed light on following topics : as the weakness and the ethnic homogeneity of the Frankish armies have been for a long time opposed to the overabundance and the various ethnic origins of the Muslim soldiers, you notice that, according to the ages and the places, reality was much more complicated. The Crusaders recruited in the East not only eastern Christians but also Muslims. The study is also about the structure of the armies and the systems of command, the specialization of the soldiers, the different types of confrontations, pitched battles, fast rides, sieges. . . The huge problems to pay for the war, the various difficulties to recruit, feed and equip the soldiers, to gather the horses for war and provide for their daily fodder have been considered. The texts show a fast technical progress in the work and organization of wood and iron, a progress which was to be helpful later in a civil engineering aspect. A study about military fleets would allow to draw a parallel with the navy field

Full textIn 1946 the publication of John Rewald’s History of Impressionism in New York consecrated the aura of the movement’s scientific historiography, supported by documentary investment. This quality confronted laymen’s narratives, which oral tradition and some witness’s accounts’ reputations dominated. Yet, a close consideration could not agree with the assumption of an exclusive scholarly nature of the document. Since the beginning of the 20th century, varied producers, such as artists, witnesses, heirs, critics, journalists, as well as professional historians, museum curators and academics formed an impressionist documentation. It thus can be interpreted as a quest for factual truth, as much as an appropriation of a research object through its written and visual marks. The equipment of impressionist readings hence gathered are: autographs; memorabilia, movable and physical assets as souvenirs of artists; photographic and cinematographic technologies. Moreover, these documents fit into a broader visual culture which included monuments and commemorative plaques of the public sphere, or motives transformed by pictorial acts into remarkable viewpoints. A historical and critical study of such a writing of history as documentary (de)monstration allows here to look back to its execution’s social and visual contexts, the career issues in which it participated, the goals that had been assigned to it within both scholars’ and laymen’s art discourses

Full textThis study aims to establish the relationship between the contemporaneousness in Arabic painting and the traditionalism in Islamic art through a synthetic, analytical and methodological vision. My dissertation consists of three parts : the first part discusses the influences of modernism and the European orientalism : negative influences upon popular arts but positive ones upon the birth of the contemporary Arabic painting in its relation to the modern Arabic renaissance in the nineteenth century. The second part probes the Islamic influences in the painting of Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and Iraq. In addition, we have examined those Islamic influences within the occidental current - from academicism to abstractionism. In the third part, our methodology starts from the factors of sociopolitical, cultural and artistic ones in order to establish a wholly and objective vision that respects the aesthetical, historical and critical dimensions of work leading us to three categories of Arabic painting : 1. It is completely occidentalized. 2. It is an Arabic orientalist's vision. 3. It is more authentic i. E. It comes from the fusion of both traditional Islamic aesthetic and modern occidental one. The most important elements in the general conclusion are the following: 1. We showed up the subject - content (in painting) as an Arabic, Islamic and aesthetic notion. 2. We discovered three stages within the current of Arabic painting. 3. We examined the attitude of contemporary Arabic painting vis-a-vis the limitation (interdiction) in the figurative painting

Full textNew light can be shed on the organisation and the weaponry of the army of the kingdom of Macedon in the Hellenistic period, 323-148 BC, by an interlinking analysis of the literary sources and the archaeological data in a broad sense (not only the data coming from archaeology itself, but those arising from the auxiliary sciences of archaeology : epigraphy, numismatics, sculpture, ceramology, toreutics, painting and mosaics). As a basis for this research, a new type of analysis of the iconographical data has been undertaken. By this method the goal is to establish the historical implications of the iconography. The results show that the Macedonian army, apart from its geo-political and social specific characteristics and contrary of the generally accepted ideas on the topic, followed the three-part model characteristic of a Hellenistic army, being formed of «national» (civic), auxiliary (allies and vassals) and mercenary troops. Of these, the «national» troops only are considered in detail in this thesis and it is found that they can be divided in two groups : on the one hand the so-called «Royal» troops, on the other hand the troops that can be said to be «of the Line». It is apparent that both groups stood in close relation to the social and politic structure of Hellenistic Macedon

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is the study of a group of ivories found in several sites of the ancient Near East, known as egyptianizing ivories. We studied various interpretations as to the origin and meaning of these objects by consulting the bibliographic sources at our disposal. Without proposing a fundamental revision of the hypotheses made so far, this study, based on archaeological, iconographical and textual evidence, tries to highlight the different routes of transmission of the Egyptian iconographic motifs into the iconographical repertoire of the Ancient Near East, with a special emphasis on the art of ivory carving. After a general discussion on the ivory and the various sources available to the artists of antiquity, we concluded that the egyptianizing ivories were the product of local artists of the ancient Near East, that were inspired by the Egyptian art, either through trade or through the Egyptian artefacts found at several sites in the Levant. As for the interpretation of these motifs, we believe that the artists of the Ancient Near East have represented Egyptian cult objects without necessarily understanding the religious or symbolic meaning that these motifs had for the Egyptians. That said, these artists were not completely unaware of the general message attached to these objects; they have adopted and adapted the Egyptian iconography by following the conventions of the ancient neareastern art according to their needs

Full textParadise is an essential aspect of both religions, for which earthly realities have been used to imagine a place of happiness and perfection. Its concepts are to be found in the Bible as well as the Quran, the writings of the Fathers of the Church, the hadiths and more general literature. Visionaries have reported stunning descriptions of it, and its beauties have never ceased to be illustrated by artists over the centuries. In order to discover, know, understand its multiple aspects, it has been necessary, not only to insert it into the context of history, but also to situate it in the realm of eschatology and to examine the other places of the great Beyond. Our research attempts to elaborate a comparative study between the Holy Scriptures of Christianity and Islam. We have confronted exegetic, dogmatic and iconographic data so as to find out the coherence inherent to each religion, hoping thereby to discover their specific approaches and the main differences between their own visions of Paradise and afterlife. Our reflection has led us to conclude that the images of Paradise in Christianity and Islam are derived from the way the texts are considered and interpreted. But the remaining question is the use of the word nowadays, particularly in the context of Islam. This dissertation thus questions, even refutes the promises of Paradise made to Muslims under the guise of new forms of violence calling forth crowds of candidates to murder

Full textThe chivalrous group The Nine Worthies, which appears in the novel Vœux du Paon written by Jacques de Longuyon circa 1312, was quickly transposed into pictorial form by means of many artistic techniques and became a popular theme throughout the 14th and 15th centuries in the Holy Empire, the French kingdom, and reaching even Catalonia and Italy. At the same time, Italy was rediscovering its own glorious past by way of the biographical literary genre Lives, which Petrarch had appropriated and modernized; therein moral and political values were drawn from the history of Ancient Rome and exempla of Uomini famosi, i.e. Famous Men, the latter becoming the subject of murals painted on the walls of private and public residences. However four patrons, in Tyrol, Piedmont and Umbria, belonging de jure or de facto to the nobility, chose the nine transalpine heroes to decorate different spaces in their homes. Both traditions –the chivalrous and the classic, each one praising its respective models– co-existed in Italy for some decades. This thesis analyzes the fortune and the adaptation of the Worthies' heroic series as depicted in wall paintings dating from a pivotal period of transition between the Late Gothic and the Early Renaissance. Utilizing both literary and iconographic evidence we analyze the details that characterize the diffusion and treatment of the canonical group of the Nine Worthies in Italy, where the classical tradition dominated and was employed to embody the first form of patriotism that was taking shape there. The Worthies' topos, an expression of the resistance of the chivalrous culture which was present in Italy until the end of the 15th century, was a flexible theme that could be adapted to early humanism. The pertinent question becomes, are we observing, through the transalpine pantheon, the creation of a new iconography? This study provides answers while proposing specific readings of the four host places examined and interpreting these monumental cycles
Lévêque, Cyrielle. "Artification de l’archive : une dialectique entre figures et absences." Thesis, Université de Lorraine, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LORR0334.
Full textThe development of this thesis work falls within an academic approach, andis also simultaneously thought in connection with the artistic creation. It deals with personal and private questioning, but is also « hunted » in a different way regarding yet genealogy, family and documentary pictures and the shadow zones that are part of all personal history. Mechanisms of resistance to arti- fication are deployed as an attempt at an artistic and theoretical response, facing a mute story, a lack of words. The family history is the origin of plural filiations, transmissions–with or without words–but also secrets. Sometimes some empty spaces appear on portraits. The missing element, thus, becomes an obsession due to its lack in the logic of the story. The artists working on those corpuses specifically aim to collect, reclaim and exhibit those blurred pictures in order to re-use them into an artistic, voluble and efficient circuit. These new pictures–private stories and testimony art at once–turn into a collective memory : by a clever telescope of meaning, the work, born out of the vernacular image, breaks through thanks to its plasticity, and offers a new meaning to the erased or absent figure. This theoretical and artistic reflection, based on the polysemous relations between documentary pictures and « erasing poietic », analyses the way that art acts into old archive pictures. How can art give the power to « read » a picture that is invisible ? Which ways, implemented devices, social and histo- ric beliefs allow it ? Conversely, what levers are developed by the artists, to update images that do not belong to them and that change our vision of the initial information ? Here is the challenge of this theoretical and plastic research that let us understand a mechanism of the artifying archival image, midway between private story and artistic mythology ; or how can images or vacilla- ting figures between presence and absence appear from invisible elements, as archives of a reformulated future
