Lemos, Maya Suemi. "Du discours moral au discours musical : le thème de la vanité dans la musique italienne post-tridentine." Paris 4, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006PA040103.
Full textThe theme of vanity underlies the entire episteme of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries: veritable discourse on the transience of life, on the ephemeral and vain character of all earthly things, it affects all the domains of artistic expression - literature, the visual arts, but also music. The musical representations on the theme of vanity abound in Post-Tridentine Italy, where they constitute an autonomous category within the ensemble of devotional music. Through the appropriation of almost every musical genre of the time - the sacred and the secular, the serious and learned but also the lighter forms - they take various discursive and operational paths. This variety testifies of the necessity to extend the moral discourse to all parts of society: the Vanities - be they pictorial, literal or musical - seem to materialize, in their condensation of meaning, the moral code of the time. Giving form to it, they affirm it and spread it, but can't, nevertheless, avoid to exhaust it

Full textThis thesis deals with the problems of the Venetian influence in the paintings of Caravaggio. The different features of the art of Michelangelo Merisi are analysed and systematically compared to the Venetian's references, but also Lombards, Florentines and Romans. The social, religious and cultural contexts are also presented, as to highlight the major influence of literature, philosophy, theology, along with painter's acquaintances, influences wich are not merely pictorials. Firstly we paid particular attention to the artistic, political and religious in which the painter was immersed in Milano. The problem of the hypothetical journey in Venice is also treated. Then, we study the relative questions with regards to the chiaroscuro, to colour, to the drawings, to the landscapes, to the faces and to their natural effects shapes but also to their possible Venetian source. Lastly we use examples and comparisons with the main painters of the Serenissima such as Giorgione, Titian or Tintoret, in order to concretely define if one can establish any link between them and Caravaggio. It is essential to study the Lombard painting and the artists of the region of Milano whose influence was upmost primordial. Our study aims to establish the progress of research on the painter, but also to the offer links and interpretations so as the study progress
Lepoittevin, Anne. "La statuaire très chrétienne des Sacri Monti d'Italie (1490-1680) : Génèse, histoire et destin d'une invention moderne." Thesis, Tours, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013TOUR2012.
Full textThis dissertation examines the history of the Italian Sacri Monti from a comparative perspective. The main objective is to understand how “architectures” that were copies of void monuments from the Holy Land were transformed into large chronological cycles animated through the use of numerous paintings and statues. The religious motivations of these sites define a specific relationship between the different art forms, one that emphasizes sculpture and which can be characterized as a “Christian paragone”. Statuary is particularly didactic and emotional. It is didactic in the sense that the Sacri Monti serve to stage a narrative statuary It is also emotional since the life-sized and polychrome terracotta sculptures are so “alive” that they seem to be performing the scenes. The many characters in the chapels are both familiar and exotic, diverse and repetitive. They constitute types that often look strangely outraged. Their beauty but also their cruel and deformed ugliness serve a didactic purpose: grounded on a physiognomic reading of the scenes, the (guided) pilgrimage to the Sacri Monti mediates a Christian catharsis
Sapir, Itay. "Ténèbres sans leçons : esthétique et épistémologie de la peinture ténébriste romaine, 1595-1610." Paris, EHESS, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008EHES0036.
Full textItay Sapir's dissertation proposes an epistemological reading of Tenebrism in Roman painting around 1600, and puts that distant pictorial revolution in the context of theoretical questions about seeing, knowing and representing. In particular, he interprets the paintings of Adam Elsheimer and of Caravaggio as manifestations of a crisis of knowledge, and analyse them in the context of cultural objects and phenomena from other fields such as texts by Bruno, Montaigne, Shakespeare and Cervantes, and the first creations of the musical Baroque. The concrete limitation of visibility that Tenebrism entails is thus interpreted not as the simple emergence of a new realism or as originating exclusively in the Counter-Reformation, as has been often suggested. Instead, the role of darkness, and of other pictorial devices complicating the mimetic regime, is considered in the context of generalised scepticism, a reaction to the epistemological saturation in the aftermath of Renaissance Humanism
Duvillier, Marc. "The Mask [1908-1929] de Edward Gordon Craig : « un rêve mis noir sur blanc »." Thesis, Paris 3, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA030145.
Full textThe Mask (1908-1929, Florence, Italy, 15 volumes) : in its time, the very name of this newspaper exclusively dedicated to the theatrical Art played the part of a « passeword » among promoters of modern theatre in Europe. This doctoral thesis, the first to be consecrate to this review in France, is an historical research enriched by a lot of documents from the Craig archives of the Departement des Arts du Spectacle, BnF. By the study of this review, we search to understand better Craig’s personality and his conception of the artist. The Mask was Craig’s permanent performance : at once a place for theory, for a history of drama and a place of visual experimentation. He had the talent to endow this review with the very characteristics of a laboratory allowing him to create and express his ideas on Theatrical Art. The actual and physical aspect of the periodical provided a permanence that theatrical performances did not possess. In this way this periodical could be seen as a substitute for the theatre house he never actually owned and a repository for a heritage to be saved in order to create the theatre of the future
Benzi, Utzima. "Francesco Panigarola : théorie et pratique de l'éloquence sacrée à l'âge de la Contre-Réforme." Thesis, Aix-Marseille 1, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011AIX10020.
Full textOur theme in this thesis is sacred eloquence, such as that of the Franciscan preacher Francesco Panigarola, a major figure of post tridentine oratory art, envisaged it as a rhetor and practised it from his pulpit. We have selected texts in Italian from his works: on the one hand, controversial writings, rhetorical and pedagogical treatises, where Panigarola reflects upon the status and finalities of sacred eloquence, and on the other hand, those which bear witness of the oratorical procedures utilized for sermons. Our study links, at one and the same time, a chronological approach, focussing on the biographical profile and a systematic approach to a few major rhetorical and stylistic questions. Our objective is to replace the Franciscan orator within the culture of his times and throw light on certain recurrent themes in his asianic style, particularly the pre-eminent status granted to the resources of visual imagination. Our first part takes us through the stages of Panigarola’s humanistic and religious formation; the presentation of a few previously unpublished documents sheds new light on his activities as a controversialist and diplomat. The second part analyses the theory of sacred oratory art, which he developed in his rhetorical treatises for the use of preachers: Il Predicatore, the Regole per far la memoria locale and the Modo di comporre una predica. The aim of our study is to show the originality of his stylistic initiatives and the rhythmic lexical and morpho-syntaxic methods of Panigarola, which marked the arrival of preaching in the world of Italian literature. The last section is devoted to the definition of Panigarola’s doctrine of the image, together with the description of the visual and auditory strategies employed in his sermons. How did the Franciscan succeed in “bringing to sight”, by his words, and through them, the concepts he wished to transmit? What were the stylistic resources he used to make his speech “seeable”? These questions have been examined from the point of view of “visual” and “resounding” enargeia, and the technical procedures which gave it birth

Full textAndretta, Elisa. "Le scalpel de Pierre : médecine et médecins à Rome au XVIe siècle." Paris, EHESS, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007EHES0065.
Full textThis thesis deals with physicians and medicine in 16th century Rome. The medical community in Rome can be taken as a useful model for the redefinition of the medical world century and of the forces which interact in it. The research undertaken situates itself at the crossroads of various types of historiography. The thesis intends to shed some light on the professionalisation of medicine in the specific context of patronage by popes and cardinals. Rome, an urban centre, the centre of the Papal States and the centre of Christendom constitutes a laboratory, a centre of diffusion and a relevant model for shedding more light on a period characterised by an explosion of activity and a reconfiguration of status, methods and topics in medicine in general. This project represents a work on the social and political history of science, dealing with the Catholic world and its centre, as well as its capacity to redefine the medical knowledge it possesses by acquiring and integrating new practices

Full textThe Eucharistic monstrance, an important liturgical vessel, appears in second half of the 13th century in order to satisfy the new aspirations of the community of the faithful. Its members wished to witness the transubstantiation of the Body of Christ and partake more actively in the different religious rites. Offering a reflection on this liturgical piece as it appears in the whole of Western Christendom, this study addressed the various purposes of the sacred vessel as well as its impact on the experience of faith from the end of the Middle Ages to beginning of the modern period (mid-13th century to the end of the 16th century). In order to achieve this objective, the study has been divided into three parts. The first focuses on the context in which the “Porte-Dieu” emerged, from moment of the Church's re-appropriation of previous practices of worship to the creation of festivities in honor of Blessed Sacrament. The second reconsiders questions of a typological and decorative nature. Finally, the third examines the multiple uses of the liturgical object from the beginning of the 1300s until shortly after the council of Trent

Full textPapal bulls at the end of the 15th century conferred upon Iberian rulers a significant control over the young American churches. In the wake of the Council of Trent, the Holy See attempted to strike roots through spiritual and diplomatic means. Following in the footsteps of Diego Valadés, a Franciscan mestizo born in New Spain and turned procurator general of his order at the Roman Curia, the present thesis highlights how Rome developed an interest in the New World by collecting information and undertaking diplomatic moves while reckoning with the limits set up by Iberian ecclesiastical patronages. These limits were sometimes over passed through Roman Church structures proper, and in particular through missionary networks converging towards the Curia. The Spanish crown then showed it was likely to react, as was exemplified by the exclusion of Valadés, who thus fled to Perugia to publish his Rhetorica Christiana in 1579. The study of this Latin work intended for European readers offers an insight into the Roman way of seeing America. Starting from the life and work of Valadés, different circles looking towards the New World will be explored, illustrating the world's renewed apostolic concerns regarding papacy at the heart of the Counter-Reformation, in the years preceding the creation of the congregation of Propaganda Fide in the 17th century
Bertolini, Manuel. "Les autorités ecclésiastiques et la réglementation de la musique à l'époque moderne." Thesis, Clermont-Ferrand 2, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013CLF20004.
Full textIs it possible to censure music? This question may sound rather extravagant, and this is perhaps why music is often overlooked in studies on ecclesiastical censorship in the early modern period, for it would seem that its very essence is incompatible with any form of control. In fact, the huge transformation the Catholic Church had to face, between the sixteenth and the seventeenth century, had a big impact on the music scene. Unavoidably, music was involved in the disputes between Catholics and Protestants as essential liturgical element. The musicologists have mainly studied the Council of Trent action, which seemed to be animated by the desire to remove the secular textual and melodic components from the church repertory. Therefore, Rome became the main center of production for sacred and spiritual music used in celebrations, devotional practices and also in teaching catechism. The case of the Society of Jesus is exemplar: music represent a powerful means of education in college programs, and a strategic tool in the catechesis work. To the enhancement of spiritual genres corresponds as well the will of ‘suppress’ the profane repertories. This is well documented during the age of Counter Reformation, by the variety of cases of ‘‘travestimento’’ which invest canzonette and madrigals. This attitude was also proved by some of the measures the ecclesiastical censure adopted against the vocal production since the seventies of the sixteenth century. In ancient Greek musical theory, harmony was seen as being endowed with a natural virtue capable of altering the rational faculties of the listener’s soul, to the extent of depriving that person of his freedom. The many ethical implications of this classical axiom featured in early modern theological debates. My thesis tries to provide a first answer to these questions by studying the conciliar decrees, the documents of the Index Congregation, the treatises on music and the manuals on demonology. These sources reveal musical censorship did not only involve zealous inquisitors battling with some licentious musician, but also the language of worship and the circulation of prohibited knowledge, which included dangers in the form of sounds that went beyond erotic seduction

Full textThis study is not aimed at presenting the history of Vienna and Prague, the capitals of the Austrian monarchy, during the Baroque age. Rather, it analyzes the image the contemporary people wanted to convey of these two capitals during the entrenchment of counter-reformation and the consolidation of the Habsburg power. The image of the city was consciously instrumentalized as a mental weapon by social and political actors. The contemporary authors of those towns cities praised these cities on the basis of Christian glory, though differences of treatment appeared between Vienna and Prague. Many travellers adopted this image and thereby strengthened the official picture of the cities. This image fulfilled several purposes : the challenges it faced were spiritual, religious and political. By describing the urban microcosm the authors intended to express their view on the world

Full textThe mays of Notre-Dame, paintings offered from 1630 till 1707 by the brotherhood Sainte-Anne-Saint-Marcel of the Parisian silversmiths to the cathedral Notre-Dame de Paris in sign of worship in the Virgin, are one of main group of paintings of the XVIIth century. The doctoral thesis proposes a study of this series in two steps, an analytical approach through a essay and a synthetic approach by means of a catalog. The essay approaches on a first part the fraternal context and explains the choice of large formats presented in the nave of the cathedral. The second part is interested in the religious function and the politics of these paintings. The third part becomes attached in the conditions of the command and to the questions of style and estimates the reception of the works at the XVIIIth, XIXth and XXth centuries. The catalog resumes for every picture all the documentary and visual data. Texts accompanying paintings (contracts, explanations, inventories of Notre-Dame) establish appendices. The importance of mays in the religious painting of the XVIIth century holds their echos with the pastoral concerns and théologales of the Church of Paris, as well as in their status of model for the religious painting. Exposed at the heart of the cathedral of Paris, they constitute a decoration crowned in the service of king and of religious politics of the kingdom
Simonetta, Elisabetta. "Lucrezia Gonzaga et Ortensio Lando. Enjeux et contraintes d'un camouflage épistolaire (1552)." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017USPCA151/document.
Full textLucrezia Gonzaga da Gazzuolo’s (1524-1576) Lettere, first published in 1552 in Venice and reprinted in 2009 only, constitutes a rich epistolary corpus that remains relatively untouched, not having been studied systematically yet.The few academic studies that introduced us to this volume of letters made apparent the need for an extensive analysis of it, with a focus on its intertextuality. Our work reveals the constant, if many-faceted, intellectual presence of Lucrezia’s unofficial editor: the polygraph Ortensio Lando. His editorial decisions capitalize on Lucrezia’s exemplarity, given her misfortunes and active daily life, and on the growing importance of women authors in the cultural industry and, in turn, of women readers.Suspicions of a not-so-straightforward authorship prompted us to center our reflection on the tight relation of interdependence between the gentlewoman and the writer. Our study sheds light on the formal and thematic influence of the irreverent polygraph’s ‘irregular’ writing style on Lucrezia’s letters. This leads us to uncover the full scope of a tortuous publishing project, conceived and orchestrated by Lando, aiming crucially at propagating a new strain of spiritual dissidence, inspired by Erasmus’s Philosophia Christi. Such dissemination, in face of rising religious tensions, would rely on the overwhelming demand for ‘letterbooks’, and take the form, among others, of a complex and reformist proselytism. The letters are thus part of an intricate literary universe ranging from the writings of Lando published between 1550 and 1554 to Erasmus’s much-maligned Enchiridion militis christiani. During a time of increased inquisitorial control and interventions, epistolography become a discrete means of heterodox religious propaganda. The collection of letters also opens up a promising field of investigations and research on the letter: first as a tool to broadcast modern ideas as well as the socio-cultural claims of learned women, but also as a crux for meta-literary issues such as authority, authenticity and auctoriality, and finally a springboard for reflecting on the editorial possibilities and limitations acting upon the literary consecration of women
Laferrière, Maude. "Michel-Ange et le motif des genitalia : signification, perception et censure." Thèse, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/1866/19366.
Full textWe propose a study on the male genitalia in Michelangelo’s production, in order to grasp the significance in different works of art depending on the subject that they represent. By focusing on four pieces of art of the Florentine artist, we would like to clarify the visual impact of the male genitals unveiled and the perception from the Italian audience of the fifteenth century and sixteenth century. The Bacchus (1496-1497), The David, (1501-1504), The Risen Christ (1519-1520) and The Last Judgment (1536-1541) have been chosen for the variety of the topics they illustrate and for the different contexts of production and exhibition. We compare religious pieces of art to profane pieces of art to identify specific issues that result in every case. The decision to stick to only Michelango’s artistic production also implies looking at a specific type of male figure, directly inspired by the Antiquity. For a better understanding of what results from the genitalia’s unveiling, we define essential notions like nude, nudity, sexuality, masculinity and virility in the Renaissance. With a historiographical approach based on The Sexuality of Christ in Renaissance Art and in Modern Oblivion, written by Leo Steinberg, we support his hypothesis about the representations of Christ’ genitals. And with a historical approach we suggest some hypotheses about the nudity of iconic figures realised by Michelangelo. By focusing mainly on the pieces of art mentioned above and the detail of genitalia, we notice that artists, such as Michelangelo, did not represent this detail by chance, but because this part of the body is rich of signification and can serve to express many concepts.

Full textExamining the writings of Christian humanists, who exercised control over the practice of the arts after the Council of Trent, this paper seeks to understand the development of landscape painting in the Early Modern period. Cardinal Federico Borromeo, the Jesuit Louis Richeome and Jean Calvin, are among those theologians who contributed to this influential Christian literature. We will mainly use the recent historiography to demonstrate the essential role played by Christian thought in the rise of the representation of nature into art. Building on some important studies, we will analyze both pictorial and architectural examples that reflect this Christian influence on the perception of nature. First, we will try to paint a picture of the religious and cultural environment in which the Christian humanists lived and developed their thinking. Our goal is to prove that Christian humanism played an important role in the development of landscape representations during the Counter-Reformation. Contemporary sources as well as their interpretation by modern historians and art historians will help us to better understand the role of Christian thought in this artistic development.

Full textThe taste for countryside palaces among the Princes of the Church was already well established when the Council of Trent (1545-1563) moved to counter the protestant Reformation. This council asserted catholic dogmas and significantly reformed clerical mores. In this context, villas are seen as the perfect stage to realize spiritual ambitions. This thesis thus studies extra-urban devotional practices by examining three chapels in countryside palaces around Rome decorated after the Council of Trent: Cardinal Alessandro Farnese’s (1520-1589) chapel in his villa at Caprarola; the Villa d’Este chapel at Tivoli built for Cardinal Ippolito II d’Este (1509-1572); and the Villa Mondragone chapel at Frascati, ordered by Cardinal Marco Sittico Altemps (1533-1595) for Pope Gregory XIII (1502-1585). We seek to examine the influence of contemporary devotional practices on the iconographic cycles in the private sphere. The public’s perception and spiritual response to the frescoes will be probed through an anthropological approach to images.
