Stauss, Dimitri. "Vers une compréhension des origines de Caravage : l'influence vénitienne par rapport à l'influence lombarde à travers le contexte historique, social et religieux du XVIe siècle." Montpellier 3, 2009. http://www.biu-montpellier.fr/florabium/jsp/nnt.jsp?nnt=2009MON30087.
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
Lacouture, Fabien. "Représenter l'enfant en Italie du Nord et Italie centrale : XIVe - XVIe siècles." Thesis, Paris 1, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA01H020.
Full textAlthough childhood is "a universal anthropological conception" (E. Deschavanne, P.H. Tavoillot, Philosophie des âges de la vie), the French historian Philippe Ariès, in Centuries of Childhood: A Social History of Family Life (1962), proposed that the recognition of childhood as a distinct stage of life, what he calls the "sentiment de l'enfance," did not exist during the Middle Ages and early modern period, but was rather the invention of the 16th- and especially the 17th and 18th centuries. Disproved by historians, but still considered valid by some art historians, this theory is founded upon a study of pictorial representations of children. Images of children are numerous in Northern- and Central Italian Renaissance painting, but they require a new approach on how children were perceived and pictured. A precise analysis of these visual representations, of their genesis, condition, and their destination(s) is necessary. Such a study naturally finds its structure in the traditional "stages of life" and "periods of childhood" in use during the Renaissance. These categories are: infanzia (from birth to seven years old), puerizia (from seven to approximately twelve to fourteen years) and adolescenza (from twelve to fourteen), during all of which the child was in constant evolution. Beyond simply seeing children as decorative pictorial motifs, by exploring the genre of the work studied, its backstory, and also the age, the gender, or the social status of the child pictured, this tack (approach?) enables us to better understand the purposes of children's pictorial representation
Maisonneuve, Cécile. "Peindre à Florence dans le quartier de l'Oltrarno entre Gothique tardif et première Renaissance." Paris, EPHE, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006EPHE4012.
Full textThe Oltrarno, the south district of Florence was in the fifteenth century a meeting place for the patrons and painters who lived there and who contributed to the decoration of the churches around which their social life was organised. This study is about the men who were brought together by the creation of works of art, their identities and relationships. It restores some forgotten masters, defines the context in which better known painters moved and confirms the link between generations of artists traditionally separated by the formal gap between Gothic and Renaissance

Full textEager to conquer and dominate the State of Milan, Francis I (1515-1521) Francesco II Sforza (1522-1525) and Charles V (1526-1530) all three face a political ground with high centrifugal potential, what we call a "field of forces and struggles". Our comparative survey of their successive exercise of domination highlights three original strategies of direct exercise, delegation of power and integration/mediation by the elites or the Popolo. In their own way, each of the princes and their servants conceive their own power, its legal, geographic and symbolic limits, and the quality of dominated subjects. Each has its own mapping power relations in its origins land whether in Milan, France and Spain. Very importantly, each model is not static but in production, as a result of continuous dialectic between its heritage and a reality each day renewed, between its internal forces and external influences, between what he believes, and said to be, and that it expresses every day. In this context, the policy of adaptability, its terms and limits of the unknown and the unexpected becomes crucial to uphold its expectations and defend its political gains

Full textAt the beginning of the "Life" he devotes to Domenico Ghirlandaio, Vasari describes the painter as "one of the most important and most excellent masters of his age". Domenico organized his production according to a rigorous hierarchy and endeavoured to specialize and diversify his offer at the same time. Moreover, the study of the socio-economic context to which his patrons belonged allows us to delineate the outlines of a particularity dynamic "ghirlandaiesque milieu" (I). After the premature death of his brother, Davide took up the family workshop. However, this period of wavering did not prevent numerous artists - pupils and followers - from initiating a dialogue with the art of Domenico (II). Only in the early 16th century, with Ridolfo, did the workshop enjoyed renewed success. Domenico's son proudly fulfilled the socio-professional ambitions nurtured by this father. Just like the latter, he established himself as a master in demand and aroused a true craze among his contemporaries (III)

Full textThe origins of my research project, “Ut maiolica epica” : painting chivalric world in 16th century Italian maiolica, lay in the fact that literary sources, from the Bible to Ovid, have greatly inspired decorative arts during the sixteenth century, especially in Italian humanist courts through illustrated books and prints. Transferring a literary text into ornamental design introduces the issue of the status of the images created by craftsmen but also induces a reflection about craftsmen’s aims, wondering how they used the iconographic sources and how the objects thus produced were understood by the patronage. A textual model handled by crafts- men, as soon as it was published in his final version in 1532, specifically holds attention : the Orlando furioso by Ariosto. This epic, which comes from the antique tradition of poetry as much as from medieval “chanson de geste”, was immediately successful with the artists, and more precisely, with ceramic painters. In fact, the fifty Italian ceramics or so inspired by the Furioso have been the source of a larger part of my research project : how this success with maiolica painters could be explained? So the central issue of that work is to explain how and why these chivalric models were used by ceramic painters during the Italian Renaissance. Many sub-questions relate to this research question in order to considerate it in all its com- plexity. The first one that arises is how we should understand this feature of the Italian maiolica : is it specific to this art or a mirror image of a larger chivalric iconography presence in the 16th century Italian decorative arts? The elaboration of an iconographic corpus is an important preliminary step to explore this issue : to explain why ceramics painters created chivalric images, it’s necessary to outline the general features of the iconography of chivalry in the early sixteenth century. This question is linked to a second one : is this iconography a medieval legacy or a humanist updating? Indeed, the issues of the part of imitatio and the part of inventio are clearly central. On the one hand, imitatio focuses on the medieval legacy in Italian 16th century chivalric iconography, the notion of transposition, the interactions with the other decorative arts as armours and cassoni. On the other hand, the question of inventio deals with the corpus analysis, the new iconographic subjects, the role of prints and illustrated books and the influence of contemporary paintings. This sub-question involves a last one: what does this iconography reveal about the patronage’s tastes, the notion of pomp and the cultural and social values of Italian Renaissance society? These “painting-objects”, coloured pictures but also functional objects as dish, plate, cup or ewer, relate to the relationships between the iconography, forms, functions and uses of Italian ceramics, their social and historical contexts and their semiology. In fact, the historiated ceramic was a luxurious produc- tion and, so, it was a way for commissioners to display their magnificence, to show their culture. The issue of values thus emphasized is important in order to carry out a general thinking from the production of these images in maiolica workshops to their reception and display by the clients. So, to explore these research questions, my study is based on a semantic and cultural reading of Italian domestic interior and on the interactions between ceramic art, icono- graphic analysis, material culture, literary viewpoint and sociocultural history
Roseau, Catherine. "Corps et perspective : une approche psychosomatique de la Perspective artificielle lors de ses origines théoriques et pratiques à Florence au XVe siècle." Tours, 2000. http://www.theses.fr/2000TOUR2027.
Full textThe autor of the thesis wants to begin a reflexion on the role of the artist's body in the construction of the perspective. In the representation of th third dimension as we find it in the physical world, the body seems to be considered as a scheme of representation if we examine L. B. Alberti's De Pictura (1435) and F. Bruneschelleschi's biography, written in the second half of the 15th century and describing the two pannels, today lost, pictured by the florentine architect. From these two texts it seems that the perspective reflects the corporal laterality and the binacolar vision wich are at the beginning of the geometrisation of the visible ans its representation. This study is the result of an analysis of the works realised in Florence by the artists cited in the dedication of Leon Battista Alberti's Italian version of Della Pittura (1436). It has been necessary to outline tha the history of art from the beginnings had studied the subject. Doing so we can note that H. Wölfflin suggested the influence of the vision in the visual arts. On the contrary E. Panofsky refused the implication of the psychophysilogy in the arts and especially in the perspective. For the German historian the perspective is a symbolic form composed of an intelligible content and a sensible form. The supermacy of the symbolic has also been developped in other disciplines, for example by the psychoanalysis and J. Lacan. According to science, the body does not have a structural power, it is the scene of the symbolic. The autor of this thesis tries to show how the body has an original power int the structuring of the space. The body has to be considered in its relation to th others in a given culture, at a moment of its history. For this purpose, the author frequently refers to the psychomatic approach of the psychoanalist Sami-Ali
Morel, Philippe. "Les décors médicéens à la fin de la Renaissance." Paris, EHESS, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1993EHES0304.
Full textThis work presents a series of studies of different forms of artistic decorations, permanent or ephemeral, conceived in rome and in florence for francesco i and ferdinando i de' medici, mainly between 1575 and 1590. The modalities of the decorations are both material and thematic. Material with frescoes, easel or wood-paintings in ceilings, grottoes covere d by mineral substances variably mould or designed, ephemeral structures, settings and costumes, automatons, etc. Thematic since this thesis is divided into four sections dedicated to the relationships of the decoration with (1) the political sphere as seen through territorial and dynastic ideologies, (2) to cosmology (elements, planets), (3-4) to the natural sciences (ornithology, botany, mineralogy, teratology), as well as to eclectical collectionism. The first point deals with princely entries in florence and pisa, and with their relationships to permanent decorations. The seco nd part is dedicated to the cosmological, astrological and magical programs at villa medici and palazzo firenze in rome, and in the florentine intermezzi of 1589. The third section is mainly about gardens : the "stanzino degli uccelli" in ro me and the grottoes of boboli and pratolino with their automatons. The fourth part treats of grotesques, from the large decoration of the uffizi gallery studied in its structural links with the kunst-and-wunderkammern, the hybrid and the monstruous, and the burlesque poetry
Vert, Xavier. "Le portrait-charge : image infamante, caricature et contre-figure en Italie, de la Renaissance à l'Age baroque." Paris, EHESS, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011EHES0101.
Full textThe portrait-charge defines itself at the crossroads of historical, anthropological and philosophical disciplines, on the hypothesis of going beyond caricature history into an anthropology of charge. On the one hand, this implies re-examining caricature on the basis of the operations to which it submits the effigy in mobilizing a pragmatic conception of the instance of the viewer. On the other hand, this implies reconceiving the notion of charge, by questionning its status and implementation as well as its various relationships with social practices, beliefs, law, and theology. The general framework of this thesis is the study of the afflictive portrait from the Renaissance up to the threshold of the baroque period. It is, therefore, necessary to consider the charge of images in the perspective of a figurability of outragous and infamous practices. The next step is to assess an element of ambiguity and derision within an aggressive use of the image. The phenomenon of derision is indeed one of the most complex, if one does not strip its individual and social manifestations of its theological implication. Linking caricature to this phenomenon does not simply mean to see in it the opposite of an aesthetic and heroic ideal, but also and above aIl, one of the major forms of comic inversion

Full textFocusing on the problem of the proliferation of the Deposition, Lamentation and Entombment themes in Renaissance painting of Central Italy, this dissertation investigates the production of a specific category of sacred images, which has largely been undervalued until now. The study goes beyond the methodology of iconographic studies stricto sensu in favor of a transdisciplinary approach. Expanding from the Savonarolian preaches in the 1490s to the final session of the Council of Trent in 1563, this survey provides new insights about the meaning and the function of these peculiar iconographies in a historical perspective. The main objective is to understand how these topics were transformed in devotional instruments of self-promotion and public propaganda. The question of the profound religious crisis that reached Renaissance Europe is intertwined with an accurate study of patronage and identity. From a methodological point a view, the investigation also deals with other sensitive issues related to topography, physical surroundings, visibility, and perception.As it engages in a subtle tracing of a variety of changing phenomena, this thesis reconstructs a plural reality, where the crossed analysis of the thematic choices and the visual rhetoric affords a challenging glimpse into a complex environment underpinned by new artistic, social, cultural and political concerns

Full textRenaissance Venetian paintings include many servants, who often escape the notice of those who view them. A systematic statistical inventory of those servant figures and their grouping into different categories have made it obvious that those figures are hardly ever realistic or decorative but are most of the time an integral part of a symbolic system focusing on their masters' place in society and of the elite's conception of its social role, in particular during the more aristocratic second half of the sixteenth century. On the other hand, servant figures may be used to express views on varied subjects, either literary, theological or political, or even with an artistic or satirical goal in mind. Indeed, servants, figures of the popolo, have a legitimate place in pictorial representation in a city such as Venice where the Patricians like to think of the community as united. The systematic study of servants in painting has also led to a new questioning of well-known works when they include servant figures which differ from traditional or contemporary norms. The study of those discrepancies has shed a new light on those works by Carpaccio, Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese

Full textFocused on one painting by Paolo Veronese (1528-1588), the Bathsheba bathing (Lyon, musée des Beaux Arts), this thesis' ambition is to question a pillar of art history whose stakes are multiple. Whereas the methodological angle envisions the complex topic of the painting as a condensation (i. E Bathsheba bathing and Susanna and the Eiders), this scope is only acceptable while elaborating the reconstruction of traditional analysis once quoted by Daniel Arasse in his "analytical iconography". The addition of biblical commentary, iconography and in depth study of venetian painting, as well as social practice make these two themes converge and the thesis validates their "fusion" into the same image. A local study of the archives of the state of Venice has been undertaken and the result throws light on the origin of the commission through clearing the identity of the commissioners thanks to their blazon, a stamp which is the sign of the alliance of two families Badoer and Soranzo

Full textThe goal of this thesis is to show the density of meanings that inform the plastic and iconographic choices made by Titian for his Pitti Magdalen, examining it in light of the visual traditions of the Magdalen in Italy. To do this, the dissertation goes back to the visual codes established in the 13th century. This study brings forward the means by wich women's bodies may be bearers of theological meaning, beyond that of sin and temptation. A first part establishes the foundations. One chapter approaches the anthropology of the Christian body, another the construction of the "character" of Mary Magdalen and themes associated with her, a third stuides these first plastic formulations in the mediterranean basin. A second part is consecrated to the cycles that present her Vita : the Florentine pala of 1285, the Assisi Magdalen chapel, and the Magdalen chapels of the Bargello and Santa Croce in Florence. The chapters bring forward the dynamic in wich the spectator relates to the figure as an example of sinful flesh converted. A last part proposes a diachronical analysis, on a large temporal scale, from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries the principal iconographical signs that distinguishe her : the color red, the hair, the tears, the vase and the perfume, all the while giving particular attention to the regional variations between Tuscany and the Veneto. The final chapter converges the results of the first chapters in the analysis of the Titian Magdalen who appears as an end point in the plastic and conceptual research conducted since 1270
Dalmasso, Véronique. "La représentation du corps du Christ dans la peinture toscane du XIVe siècle et du XVe siècle." Paris 4, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA040061.
Full textThe study of the body of Christ in Tuscan painting of the fourteenth century and the first half of the fifteenth century implies a double questioning : is there a noticeable evolution in the rendering of the body during this period and is there a thorough aim on the painter's part to render the dual nature of Christ, human and divine ? This approach is particularly relevant because it concerns the figure o Christ in the presence of man. In the representations of the Baptism and the Crucifixion, man and God appear unclothed and in the same situation. Thus, it is possible to compare Christ with the neophytes about to be baptised and then, with the two crucified thieves. The study of the resurrected body will subsequently determine if its rendering is differetn from the baptised or crucified bofy and if its ambiguity is addresses by the painter. The analysis of texts by the Church Fathers or those of Thomas Aquinas and Bonaventure reveals the dogmatic stance of the church and the mendicant ordres on baptism, crucifixion and resurrection. The study of the preachers' sermons and the mystics' witness accounts of their vision of Christ attempts to define the perception of the body in the 14th and 15th century and its visual representation
Little, Anna. "Du lieu à l'espace : transformations de l'environnement pictural en Italie centrale (XIIIe - XVe s.)." Thesis, Tours, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010TOUR2022/document.
Full textThis study exposes the key role played by the notion of "place" in the development of "modern pictorial space". We first establish that place and "anti-place" represent the two fundamental components of the thirteenth century pictorial environment and that these components are closely correlated to the notions of place and "anti-place" as they appear in contemporary theology, natural philosophy, mnemonic practices and politico-territorial organisation. We then study the causes and processes which lead the thirteenth century pictorial place to evolve and a new conception of the image to emerge. This new conception is characterised by two levels: onecomposed of material bodies, the other taking the form of an immaterial, rectilinear and regularstructure - structure which, while being identifiable as a direct derivative of pictorial place, isequally identifiable as a speculative model of real space
Vermorel, Catherine. "La gestuelle dans le portrait peint de la Renaissance italienne (XVe-XVIe siècles)." Thesis, Université Grenoble Alpes (ComUE), 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015GREAH011.
Full textThe portrait, long considered as a rigid pictorial genre, became increasingly lively through the progressive introduction of gestural expression. This idea appeared as early as 1440 in Filippo Lippi’s female portraits, in 1450 in Andrea del Castagno’s painting of a man and in 1470, in Antonello da Messina’s mimes. But the standard surrounding is bust-length portraiture and other restrictions on movement, imposed by the commissions, lasted until the 16th century. Despite various dissenting works, such as those of Antonello da Messina, Leonardo Da Vinci, or later, Bartolomeo Passerotti, the Princely model held sway.In Antiquity, three literary categories, each with a different approach, addressed the appearance of the body and civilization of the customs : educational precepts often contained within vaster literary works, physiognomic treatises — which attempt to read from faces an individual’s intentions and destiny — and rhetorical studies which, in particular, concern the ethos and the pathos, but equally the orator’s gestures. During the Renaissance these three disciplines all influenced various domains, which are interested, at one point or another, in the gesture. The Quattocento’s didactic treatises, which paved the way for a true reform, were replaced by manuals of etiquette in the 16th century. From 1455, the Lombard dancing masters wrote the initial elements of a theory of dance. Artistic treatises on painting and sculpture insist on the decorum which included gesture. At the very beginning of the 17th century, a certain number of modern conventions were recorded in illustrated collections of chironomy.Far from considering the finger, the hand or the members as semantic details, this thesis shows that body movement is a social signal to be placed back in its environment. It open on the history of education, central in that of gesture, as well as on that of the genre, or still the place of children and the parenthood. An important place was dedicated to the history of the garment, the one that was chose for these pictures.Through this work, it becomes obvious that the Middle Ages are not the only period to have seen developing a "civilization of the gesture". The analysis of texts, of Antiquity as of Renaissance, reveals a remarkable continuity in the conception and the theories relative to the body movements, underlain by the Oratorical Institution, particularly the part dealing with the actio. Quintilien had a long-term reception in the arts of preaching and, in a more subtle way, his qualities of educator and observer of the childhood also favoured his transmission in the educational frame. This author taught the use scheduled of the gesture to support the speech, considering a defect the carelessness in "the toga, the shoe and the hair". Already for him, this care was to be imperceptible, the education and the body care becoming as a second nature, the sprezzatura before time. Browsing our images, the reference to the actio that got established since Antiquity in education, expression, and both pictorial and theatrical imagery, acknowledges how precocious that civilization was and how perennial it has been.The gesture is asserted as a living heritage, transmitted more or less consciously through time, through a myriad of conduits and disciplines, including the portrait, both as recipient and vector

Full textVenetian Federico Zandomeneghi (1841-1917) is always remembered as an artist who relocated to Paris in 1874 to become a follower of Degas, taking part in the Impressionist exhibitions starting in 1879. The primary objective of this thesis is to analyse this artist's ties to Italy, before and after his long-lasting experience in France. We delve into the period starting in 1841 and lasting until 1874 during which Zandomenegi trained at the academies of Venice and Milan, and during which he moved to Florence, at which point he first encountered the Macchiaioli. Moreover, this study has given us the opportunity to deepen our understanding of the Italian artistic context in which Zandomeneghi developed, to what extent his close relatonships with the numerous artists he encountered affected his later artistic choices (Diego Martelli, Marcellin Desboutin), and what position Zandomeneghi attained in Italy before leaving his country permanently. In the second part of the present study, a corpus of unpublished letters between two Milanese art personalities, the art critic Enrico Piceni and art dealer Angelo Sommaruga, was thoroughly examined. Their role was indeed crucial for Zandomeneghi’s artistic rediscovery. Although Zandomeneghi spent 43 years of his life in France, he was never fully recognized in the French historiography, whereas was acclaimed for the second time by the Italian critic after his death. This thesis aims to shed light on the reasons why Zandomeneghi has always been considered a Venetian impressionist, a label that has been employed even in very recent expositions

Full textThe manuscripts made in Rome during the sixteenth century, often unknown and reduced to a stylistic study, have a complex relationship with the artistic context of the period. Rome brings together a number of artists whose origins and training permeate the local idiom, leading to exceptional creations. Giulio Clovio, Vincent Raymond, Jacopo del Giallo and Apollonio di Bronfratelli insert in their miniatures not only the motifs of the monumental decorations. They also adapt the principles of the ornament to the fields of the manuscript decoration. The illuminated manuscript is transformed into a field of experimentation where the ornament embodies various artistic problems. Unexpected agents during the act of reading, the decorative figures also participate in the actualization of meditative reading, thus proposing a new conceptualization of medieval ruminatio. Reporting on both private and official commissions, the study of these illuminations will give rise to observations concerning the function of ornamentation according to the context and the type of use. Through a semiological approach and a systematic study of the production of the period, this research proposes to fully integrate the illuminated book into the artistic universe of the Italian sixteenth century

Full textThis research analyses the way Italian paintings and artistic theory from the late Renaissance conceptualised ugliness, and gradually drew it closer to beauty. The first part of this dissertation focuses on the traditional notion of ugliness as the mere opposite of beauty, in other words, ugliness as an expression of formal disharmony. The second part deals with the evolution from this conceptual antithesis to the paradoxical entwinement of these two notions, which led some authors to endow ugliness with qualities which had hitherto been applied to beauty. We will consider several forms of „beautiful ugliness‟: those of the “cruel and horrible” (Gabriele Paleotti) sacred paintings whose beauty resides in their faithful rendering of the Scriptures, or, in other words, in their truthfulness; those of the Silenus-like characters whose kindness pierces through revolting physical traits; those of the artistic capricci who, under their apparent deformity, hide the ingenuity of their creator; or those who take up the Aristotelian paradox, according to which the correct imitation of ugliness arouses a feeling of pleasure among the spectator. In the Baroque aesthetic, the „beautiful ugliness‟ is an oxymoronic creation in which the horrifying content of the mimesis is consciously used in order to highlight, by contrast, the transformative power of the artist. The conceptualisation of caricature in the 17th century, which we will mention at the end of this work, suggests that beauty and ugliness, at least in their ideal forms, are in fact the two sides of a same coin
Lafille, Pauline. "« Composizioni delle guerre e battaglie » : enquête sur la scène de bataille dans la peinture italienne du XVIe siècle." Thesis, Paris Sciences et Lettres (ComUE), 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PSLEP058.
Full textThis thesis focuses on the political and artistic dimensions of battle scenes in 16th-century Italian monumental painting, at a time when the depiction of war had yet to develop a distinction between two forms of the depiction of history, history painting treating past events and historical painting focused on contemporary events, according to artistic categories established during the 17th century. Thus this work does not offer a history of the battle scene itself, but an enquiry on specific compositions, trying to ascertain the political, ideological, aesthetic and cultural issues that inform them. Although the artistic heterogeneity of the corpus and the political fragmentation of the Italian peninsula have encouraged previous studies to follow a monographical approach, the apparition of historically and thematically similar contexts in which various battle scenes answer analogous ambitions has led us to adopt a comparative methodology, which attempts to develop a dialogue between pairs, series or types of works, linked by common political and formal objectives. Starting from 1500, a series of major orders placed by the main political powers in Italy embued battle scenes with a new monumental dimension within political iconography. In the urgency of the context of the Italian Wars, the depiction of past historical events was invested with the hope of real political efficacy, to which the mimetic and expressive evolution of Italian painting was now able to respond. The battle scenes left unfinished by Leonardo and Michelangelo adopted a rhetorical treatment of history which involved the viewer into a narrative centred around the emotions of the characters during the action. By virtue of their treatment of figures and their complex narrative articulation, Leonardo’s and Michelangelo’s battle scenes, and later Raphaël’s and Titian’s, acquired paradigmatic status, and paved the way for the establishment of the battle scene as a political-aesthetical form, making the nobility and ambition of artistic endeavour subservient to the expression of power. Sporadic compositions of the beginning of the 16th century were followed, during the second half of that century, by an extension of military themes in palace decoration. The political and iconographic objectives of paintings was therefore determined by the orientation of the iconographic programme of the whole room. In dynastic painting cycles, the correlation between genealogy and history led the artist to closely associate the depiction of the event to the actions of the character, so that devices of individual glorification coexisted with devices historicizing the episode. In state ornamentation, the multiplication of battle scenes showcased military might as the basis for the sovereignty of the modern State. In Florence and Venice, the depiction of war received from military humanism an encyclopaedic dimension which illustrated the central role played by the mastery of these forms of knowledge in the administration of the State. The last part of this study, which focuses on the monumental representations of the Battle of Lepanto in Venice and Rome, describes the emergence of problems that are specific to the depiction of contemporary battles. The immediacy of the event demanded from the historical depiction of the unfolding of the event an advanced documentary quality. The artists had to develop new experiments in the aesthetic idiom used to represent the battle, sometimes in dialogue with more descriptive or schematic depictions of warfare. 16th-century Italian battle scenes thus find themselves at a crossroad between the evolution of warfare during the Renaissance, characterised by the beginnings of the « Military Revolution », and the evolution of aesthetic theory, defined by an increasing rationalisation in the way history is depicted

Full textAs an ancient decorative technique favoured by Roman art, stucco is given a genuine renaissance in Sixteenth century Rome. Modem artists’ general interest in Antiquity includes more precise considerations regarding the possible functions of stucco in the dialogue between the arts, and explorations of the frontiers separating art from its beholder. Indeed, stucco is being used during the Renaissance in architecture (for the moulding and ornaments, to coat brick walls and give it a "marmoreal" appearance), in painting (as an intonaco for fresco) and in sculpture (to make figurative reliefs and free standing figures, generally combined with mural paintings). Far from opposing the arts, stucco connects them by taking possession of their modes of expression to make them work together inside the decorative systems and, doing so, gives the artists the opportunity to adopt a reflexive point of view regarding their practice, looking toward the investigation of the nature and means of representation. This particular introspection is also a research on the effects of art and its ability to convoke the beholder, to make him part of the representation and make more ambivalent the boundaries of decoration. From an "ornamental", even "marginal" position, numerous stucco figures executed in Rome before the Baroque age give the concept of aesthetic frontier an original instance, where simulacra and transgression are ingeniously summoned

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

Full textRooted in a fertile Gothic, but turned to other horizons, the first Romanists painters of the XVIth century have not only knocked down all the conventions of the traditional Flemish painting, but they have also broadcasted the classic language of ancient and renaissance architecture discovered during their stay in the Peninsula. By introducing gradually motives all’antica inside their pictorial works, they have encouraged to a certain extent the builders of the Low Countries to get acquainted with this new aesthetics come from Italy. Despite the interest which they represent, their fictitious architectures have never been studied. Through the study of the architectural backgrounds of three major figures of the first Romanism, Jean Gossart, Bernard van Orley and Pieter Coecke van Aelst, we shall try to determine the sources of the Italianism of their language to evaluate their effective knowledge in classic architecture and to bring a new testimony on the development of the Renaissance in the Low Countries

Full textGiovanni Santi has depicted his contemporary Luca Signorelli as a « pelegrino » painter. From this startingpoint, our study deals with the cortonese master’s triple itinerary. The first one, relative to artistic geography,concerns patrons and collaborators between centers and peripheries and we intend to reappreciate his image of aprovincial artist. We investigate consequently the impact of local devotions and sacra rappresentazione on hispictorial language (I). The second itinerary, a interdisciplinary one, focuses on the treatment of the human figureand on the nude. His vision of the body is compared with the contemporary development of a scientific anatomyand with practical and theoretical approaches. Indeed it raises the question of the proprieties. The tactile qualitiesof signorellian art, his position in the emerging Paragone debate and the modalities of his volumetric translationare also studied ; we consider the possibility of a sculptural activity (II). Finally, Luca’s roaming imaginationarises from a temporal oscillation between interest for the past, archaic taste and an aspiration for renewal. Wethus examine his relationship with antique art and his position between « seconda e terza età », analyzing hisconnections with ars nova and the original seeds he sow. Beyond the reputation of a local latecomer or of aforerunner in the shade of Michelangelo, we aim to emphasize this way the curiosity, the sociability and theexchanges of a transitionary artist (III)
Fémelat, Armelle. "Le portrait équestre italien de la fin du Moyen Age au début de la Renaissance." Thesis, Tours, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010TOUR2021.
Full textEquestrian portraits are defined as the portrait of an individual shown on horseback without any context. The dissertation proposes to identify and comment on the reasons for methods of creation and uses of the 128 equestrian portraits in the corpus of such depictions created by Italian artists between 1229 and 1511. The history and concept of Italian equestrian portraits from the end of the Medieval period to the beginning of the Renaissance are analyzed in two major sections. The first presents and describes the portraits in the corpus on the basis of object type and their specific material characteristics. The second is an iconographic analysis. These effigies which represent military commanders constitute a specific type of official portrait, which is differentiated by the fundamental presence of the horse. Typified by a strong martial imprint,between the beginning of the 13th and the beginning of the 16th century, equestrian portraits are at the heart of the conflict among political imaginations that enlivened the Peninsula at that time. A tool for the affirmation and validation of power, equestrian portraits are used as an instrument of legitimation, even of propaganda

Full textThis PhD thesis aims at examining the development of genuine poetics common to artists and painters in the Rome of Leo X. The purpose of this work is not to detect iconographic programs: it aims at identifying formal researches and shared aesthetics, which I will try to achieve by performing an inventory of topics, by describing the broader role of these pieces in the culture of their time and by analysing the practical consequences, in both fields, of these general aesthetic choices. I will begin by providing a brief overview of the Rome of Leo X and its humanistic and artistic sociability circles in chapter 1. In a second chapter, I will more precisely study the humanists’ discourse on the works of art at that time. In these texts, I will try to highlight common issues that artists and humanists could encounter in their practice such as imitation. I will then consider the question of the epic in poetry and the visual arts in chapter 3. I will try to show that Raphael’s Fire in the Borgo, traditionally interpreted as a tragedy in painting, should rather be understood as an epic painting. The final chapter will involve a study of the latin poetry of Pietro Bembo, Baldassare Castiglione and Andrea Navagero, the three poets who seem to have been closest to Raphael. I will try to show the convergence between poetry and painting by comparing these authors’ poetry of bucolic and pastoral inspiration with the decorative cycles carried out by Raphael, first at the Villa Farnesina of Agostino Chigi, and later at the Vatican in the apartments of cardinal Bibbiena and in the Loggie. I suggest that these decors should be read as places of memory of this neo-latin poetry

Full textThis thesis discusses the conditions of possibility for a philosophy of art based on a precise and rigorous analysis of the pictorial artistic production of the Italian Renaissance. After attempting at defining a method, the presuppositions of iconology are studied in detail with a view to establishing what appear to be their limits. On the basis of this analysis, the author deduces the need for a philosophy of art which, rather than just carrying out an erudite analysis of the icon, endeavours to extract the meaning of a work of art on the basis of its sensitive shape. While Plato, Hume and Kant’s thoughts seem to fail in proposing such an approach, Hegel’s teachings dedicated to aesthetics offer an operational analytical framework, thanks to which space, drawing and colour provide the very place out of which sense can come into being.Hence the works of Fra Angelico, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo constitute the artistic material out of which the relevance of the space-drawing-colour triptych, as developed by Hegel, is put to the test. Furthermore, reference is made to the philosophical thoughts on space, light and colour – as expressed by authors like Thomas Aquinas, Marsilio Ficino, Albert the Great, Plotinus, Aristotle and Nicholas of Kues – with a view to proposing a philosophical sense of pictorial works of art, which paradoxically the theories of art provided by these authors do not seem able to deliver. It is the fundamental aim of this thesis to look for the philosophical sense of works of art through their own sensitiveness and not through a theory of the image
