Burident, Margot. "Autoportrait : objet mythique de la personne moderne." Amiens, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012AMIE0010.
Full textIt is as an artist that we conduct this research centered on the notion of self-portrait, as well as on the frictions and fusions which determined and consitued its evolution. Since the emergence of its autonomy until its dilution into contemporary pratices, the self-portrait was embodied in theoretical and artistic layouts bound to the question of the face. It connected then to an interrogation of corporeality, and subsequently eluded the classic definitions of the self-portrait genre. The assumption formulated by the present work is based on the observation of the multiplication of contemporary pratices consisting of deliberate acts, aiming to an expression of existence. Theses expressions are aesthetically and historically bound to the tradition of self-representation, which is also tired to theories of the otherness. This tradition sees itself dilued and dissiminated in a cross-cutting movement, between the inside and the outside, the intimate and the extimate, and finally between the artistic and the technologic. The creative act is, therefore, facilated by digital technology, and the sharing of the image undergoes a process of expansion which trivializes its impact. It is through various artistic practices embracing the fields of graphic arts, photography as well as videography that we carry out the questions related to self-representation, and to the intermediatic aspects highlighted by contemporary practices. Through daily pratices, self-portaits became the modern person's "mythical and common objects". Being transformed by the artistic recurrence into the "motif", the practice of self-portrait allows the confrontation of the body with places, and with the temporaly stemming from the repatition of the act of creation

Full textSitting is an act within the reach of everyone and has no social connotations ; however the fact of sitting is privilege which engenders an honorary distinction between the sitting figure and those accompanying him or her. These hierarchical relationships and the manner in which Greek creators of images represented them, which have been analysed by studying, for all media, thrones and the figures occupying them, between the end of the 7th century and the third quarter of the 4th century. From this research, real or illustrated thrones cannot be defined in formal terms, any seat or even other objects could contribute to marking precedence resulting from a particular status. Throne users come from several categories relating their religious, political, legal or social roles. Even though kings and men were shown enthroned, the throne is above all a divine attribute. The slide between divine and profane took place during the 6th century, through the representation of mythical kings and then thrones were occupied by actors or allegories of the city and individuals shown in the private sphere. Although the enthroned figure can rarely be identified from the shape of the throne, in group scenes, it size, the figure's gestures, attributs and placing, wether at the centre of the composition or to the side if it is a procession, set him of her apart from other figures who are simply sitting down

Full textMary Cassatt never sacrificed to her art and inscribed herself as a marginal character within her social circle. She remained single, settled abroad, and took on the choice of an independent professional career away from academic painting. She made the same choices as her friends Degas and Manet with regards to "modernity" through a representation of the woman of her time taken down from her mythological or religious pedestal, all the while excluding the scandalous dimension they expressed. Inspired by the renaissance paintings of the madonna and drawing its form from the painters of her time, Mary Cassatt’s works obliterates the woman to the advantage of the mother. It functions as such through a "re-presentation" declined as if initiated by a drive to repeat a support of identification which opposes the "fear of the woman" in a bourgeois society

Full textOur study cares about the face of human alive being since the 15th century. Self portraits will be our tools for exploration. Both ageing and disease allow us to ensure that the painter reproduces a human reality more than following stereotypes. This approach by the self-portrait allows homogeneity of the sources and a continuum of the material. But this method supposes the analysis of distortions due to the method itself or due to the conservation of the works, basis of this study. Our analyzes are both quantitative and qualitative. It reveals, with some reserves, that since the XVth to the dawn of the XXth, the speed of ageing seems homogeneous. The XVIIIth century is marked by a cult of youth in the age bracket 40-50 years. Moreover it appears a lengthening of the lifespan at the XVIIIth century and longer lifespan for the sculptors than for the painters. Details of self-portraits take a value of symptoms with their critical analysis and by their confrontation with the complete works of the artist This clinical study makes possible to affirm that the portrait is the representation of a face and not the illustration of an ideal, of a history or a statistical series. This method finds its limits. For example, the frequency of a pathological diagnosis in the self-portrait is low compared to its incidence in the portrait itself. Other tools of individualization such as social references and even ugliness can be used. At the end of the inspection, the fabric becomes more explicit; it delivers the invisible, speaks about human and expresses the artist's inner self
Bianchi, Alice. "Mendiants et personnages de rue dans la peinture chinoise des Ming (1368-1644) et des Qing (1644-1911)." Thesis, Paris, INALCO, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014INAL0017.
Full textThis dissertation focuses on a neglected tradition in Chinese painting known as Liumin tu (images of refugees, beggars, etc.), and proposes to define and analyze this genre, lifting it from general oblivion. This tradition is associated with Zheng Xia, who, in 1074, submitted a memorial to the throne along with a painting of disaster refugees in order to request assistance and denounce the misguided politics of the time. The first part of this study is devoted to the genre’s prototype and to a selected group of illustrated memorials produced by officials during the Ming and Qing period. The examples analyzed prompt an inquiry into the methods used to describe and paint disasters and their victims, the functions of these works, and their modes of transmission. In the 16th century, paintings appear that also present, alongside refugees, beggars and other street characters. At least two types emerge during this era: paintings endeavoring to highlight the plight of these people, and those depicting them in comic or grotesque situations. The second and third parts of this dissertation follow the developments of these two latter genres. It emerges that, while some works deploy the misery of these vagrants to move the viewer and fill him with indignation, as the illustrated memorials do, others instead aim to portray the ills of society through these same characters: beggars symbolizing those who beg for favors; blind people serving as a metaphor for people blinded by power and glory, and so on. Painters could combine these two levels of commentary in the same work and take different stances, depending on the situations they faced and the public they addressed

Full textThis study is an extension of Marcel Detienne and Jean-Pierre Vernant's reflexion on métis in poetic's field. As a narrative of contests, Odyssey is the ideal setting for a poetic expression of métis. Odysseus and Penelope are crafty, they share a homophrosuné, an egality and a compliticity of cunning. They are also, polukerdeièsin, they have a penchant, a tropism, for the tricks. They are one when it cornes to making a profit. The term that we thought most appropriate to account for Odysseus and Penelope's intelligence is kerdosuné, the clever efficiency, the profit (kerdos) motive. The challenge of epic contests is the restoration of the recognition, the charis. Odysseus tricks to find his place in the oikos, to be acknowledged by his relatives. The epic song participates in this project of charis protection and preservation. Il is an expedient, a pharmakon epistrophon wich « turns » (translation of epistréphein) the hearts toward the euphrôn, the cheer. The study of métis in the Odyssey reveals the importance of the poetic function of the game in the Ancient Greece

Full textThe aim of this research is to show the way how the European nineteenth century novel could be able to represent the social and cultural changes of a time both through its characters and the comparison between the images depicted in the novels and those ones portrayed by the painters. Therefore, the thematic continuity and the mutual influence between the two arts will be demonstrated. This inter artes research is the result of a thematic type study whose constant is the "character as a reader", who makes his appearance in literature when reading becomes relevant as a social practice as well. The interest here is focused on the character who uses to read as a passion, who plunges himself into the text, and completely abandoning himself to it almost to be likely to get lost. The "character as a reader" is there in many literary masterpieces, and only with a careful and accurate study among the classics of Italian, French, Russian and English literature it has been possible to make a selection and have a homogeneous corpus. Even though in the 800s is the usually less considered figure of the woman reader as the love novelette consumer who stands out, and girls are seen having their heads full of silliness by those kind of novels -instead of reading the Bible and the Sacred Texts - it will eventually emerge the real meaning of their readings : not only women read because of their love for culture, but also to learn, to know, in spite of the role the 800s society has relegated them to. It is considerable the predominant presence of women in the act of reading in paintings, as well. All in all, through a continuous comparison between the novel and the pictorial work and a deep socio-historical analysis of the period, the written and painted image of the reader has been demonstrated as prevailing in the European eighteenth century

Full textHenry Fuseli (1741-1825), an Anglo-Swiss artist, is one of the main figures of the Shakespearean painting, born in 1728 with William Hogarth. Fuseli uses an aesthetic of the sublime in his treatment of space and in that of the human body. Even if he resorted to theories of the sublime such as Edmund Burke's (it was applied to painting by different painters), John Dennis', or Jonathan Richardson's, the artist expresses an uncommon pictorial form of the sublime compared to that chosen by his contemporaries. The sublime of privation is opposed to the sublime of revelation, founded on the expression of the physiological effects of the emotions of terror or admiration. Science equally plays a role in this emotional expressionism, as Fuseli represents a potentially ideal human body through the pictorial reference to dissection or to entomology. The Shakespearean characters are thus elevated

Full textThis doctoral thesis has benn aproached in a perspective of history of literature, and aims to consider a global thought about the nature, the meaning and the impact of the use of the apocryphal for the Spanish writer Max Aub (Paris, 1903, Mexico City, 1972). The process underpins the ambitious project of "El Laberinto Mágico" ̶The Magic Labyrinth ̶, which groups together the works dedicated to the Spanish Civil War. Max Aub breaks with a first experimental practice of literature to focus from this point onward on the game of a character firmly immersed in History. The creation of the apocryphal character takes for the author a value of existential testimony, which goes beyond the playful dimension of the fiction and reality mix. In a century characterized by wars and violence, in an author deeply marked by the Spanish Civil War and the painful uprooting experience, the apocryphal character also goes back to the question of identity, as well as the otherness experience , and the exploration of the other possible existential paths. This exploration of the limits of the narrative genre contributes to the resolution of the "crisis of the novel" in the twenties, it is also part of a double perspective, national and European, and is anchored in History, to the point where it gives of it a new vision

Full textThe research topic addressed in this paper is a visual motif circulating widely among the arts: the figure seen from behind. Through notions that I have been led to further or develop – appearance, inevidence, dorsality, I examine how this posture depicts a way of inhabiting the image and its world, and analyze its implications in artistic practices as well as in the philosophical and social field. In order to carry out this survey, I was inspired by a gesture of Aby Warburg, the creation of atlases of images. Atlas making allowed me to reveal three expressive modalities of the back running through the history of art and cinema, and which are also found within my boards. I address these questions in the first chapter of the thesis. The second chapter, titled "Repli (s)", focuses on my first picture board, devoted to figures from behind who avoid and sneak away, conveying a withdrawal of expressive meaning. The third chapter addresses my second picture board, in which I sought to depict a form of absorption led by the figure from behind since the Romantic Age.The fourth and last chapter, entitled "Exclusion (s)", examine a violence committed upon the subject. By focusing on the portrayal of African-Americans in American plantation films, I try to show how a form of aesthetic, social, and political exclusion has been created by the representation from behind. What are withdrawn, absorbed or excluded characters telling us in view of the frontality that still prevail today? The figures seen from behind, as presented in my thesis, introduce a dorsality of representations and of existence

Full textThe introduction defines the limits and openings of the subject, introduces the method of approach selected for the study of a "character" and justifies the overall content. The ain of the thesis is to assess sand's contribution to the work of rehabilitation of the 19th century artist, which stands half-way between conventionalism and originality in the pre- 1848 romantic, revolutionary and religious movement. Three main study lines allow the understanding of the artist in sand's novels: physiognomy : variety physiology : complexity philosophy : unity these three headings agree with lavater's theory, for whom man has an animal, moral and intellectual life, and they also coincide with the trinitarian thought favoured during the romantic era. They moreover illustrate sand's ideal of human fulfilment: the artist as a metaphor of beauty : physiognomy the artist as a metaphor of gift : physiology the artist as a metaphor of christ : philosophy the artist's rehabilitation stems from the image given by the novelist who creates it with a triple effect : one of exception, one of reality, and one of exemplarity. The first part of the study lists what sets artists apart and what also magnifies them

Full textAt the dawn of the XIXth century, the acceleration of the history and the secularization which settles down, favor the social integration of the Jew. After 1789, he is emancipated and becomes a citizen. This assimilation accompanies a literary integration : the Jew becomes a fictional character, multiplying his appearances in the french works of the XIXth century. We shall analyze the way the writers put at a distance stereotypes in the elaboration of a Jewish character, to imagine a shady and significant literary and psychological depth. We shall see in what these representations are also marked by a particular historic context, as the Dreyfus affair, for example. What influences the Jewish character has on the action ? Has he a fate ? Does he know love? Has he a permanent identity, or is he sensitive to the change ? The Jewish character creates a particular and problematic narrative identity, dependent on his confession. We shall analyze the being, the making and the telling of the Jewish character, and shall show how the literary construction of the Jewish character also feeds on the dialogue between text and image

Full textIn the late XIXth century, the changing woman figure, from the romantic muse to the femme fatale cliché, triggers off a dialogue between literature and painting which pushes into the limelight the obsession of the ontologically threatening exacerbated feminity. Woman is ambiguously presented as both giving death and sentenced to death. Scientists, more particularly physicians, confirm and foster the current misogynous statements, helping to turn female vampirism into a natural fact. This obsession is brilliantly illustrated by the manifold representations of the literary and pictorial myth of a fin de siecle Salome which gives it an eternal value, as well as the artistic guarantee of contemporary painters like Regnault and Gustave Moreau or even of renaissance painters. It also endows it with decorative elements and, lastly, sums up the war of the sexes in a most striking and final way. The biblical account is tampered with to the point of turning the dancer into a near goddess laden with the haunting fears born from female otherness and fin de siecle Eros. A period myth, both important and repetitive, but kept at a distance and made trite by omnipresent parody

Full textThe Don Quixote of Cervantes has inspired all fields of arts of the nineteenth century (1789-1914). The choice to group in one corpus the visual arts, popular arts, performing arts and film, let us see how the arts influence, answer or oppose each other. The Don Quixote is, like any literary subject within the arts, confronted with his literary image. Our desire is to distinguish the emerging profiles of the main characters of nineteenth century France and then analyse their physical characteristics.Artists are asked to interpret the text. They detached themself from the literary image and have greater interest in the visual and iconographic opportunities offered within the novel of Cervantes. Beyond the visual translation of a literary text the challenge is to understand how artists manage to fit into the thinking of their society, or in other words, how they can influence the reading of a classic work of literature. By comparing the iconography of Don Quixote through other heroes we can understand how the character allows artists to adapt this figure and for what purpose. His image is widely used in the fields of advertising and caricature. The study aims to understand the means by which the two heroes will find themselves transposed into a society to make, sometimes critical, sometimes complientary comments, according to the political contingencies, or economic, social, even whimsical and fantastical i.e. without a basis of critical reference and amusing

In the heart of a long tradition of religious painting, the evolution of the landscape was until then insensitive because it was too tied to a conventional localisation illustrating biblical themes. The theme of the virgin and child where we can see appear a realistic landscape at this epoch, reveals itself to be the framework of fundamentals changes. This particular framework, chosen intentionally to provide the conditions of investigation close to those of the laboratory, allows the analysis of the works of three generations of artists and to bring to the fore the historical, sociological and pictural influences, which, combined, determined a new conception of the landscape : the realistic flemish landscape

Full textIn a first part entitled "art in the service of faith", the author's project is brought to light. Beyond the translation and versification of the Latin miracles the purpose is to pass a religious message centered round incarnation and Mary’s mercy. Narration is in the service of preaching. It transmits and illustrates a popular catechism on the essential points of faith. The aesthetics of the miracles by Gautier is related to "the art of the cathedrals" (G. Duby). The satire is linked to this didactic and reforming project. It is in keeping with the moral tradition of criticism of "estats du siècle". The clergy is the first to be aimed at. The search for truth is accompanied by a lyrical commitment in which the past time is brought back to life. The writer is involved in a violent controversy with the profane literature of his time. He nevertheless borrows from it its processes and its set of themes to convert them to the service of Mary. In a second part "a literature to the service of pleasure", we study the different types of plots, the characters, comedy and irony, the forms of pathos and of the supernatural, which have made the success of a both sacred and popular literature. The poetic techniques, in which an unrivalled virtuosity is played, reveal a humorous writer and a mystical artist. In "the delights of the verb" (ch. IX), faith and pleasure are joined together

Full textThe representation of Adam and Eve arouses particular interest during the sixteenth century. The renewal of Bible translations, the importance of the theological debate between the Reformation and the Roman Church lead to a plethora of entirely new readings of the Holy Book ; the story of the first genuine couple raises questions in a century fascinated by the problem of origins and makes it possible to represent naked figures in a religious context. Original sin, as recounted in Genesis 3, crystallises a series of fundamental oppositions. It induces the fall, i. E. The change from eternal life to a lifetime measured by death, but it also brings life to the body, as a source of pain and pleasure, marked by the differences of gender, and turns a world in which clear signs and language reign into a world of darkness, where the line between truth and falsehood blurs. The representation of original sin seems then to become a mirror in which a work of art can contemplate itself and reflect upon how to bring (christian) truth to the reader/ viewer. While the written word tends to restrict the reader's freedom and force a certain interpretation upon him, pictures tend to reenact the confusion brought about by original sin and make full use of their ambiguous seduction
Roche, Aurélie. "De la figure anthropomorphe prédynastique à l'émergence de l'image de Pharaon : pour une approche transversale de l'imagerie pré- et protodynastique égyptienne (Nagada I-Nagada III, 3900-2700 av. J.-C.)." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015STRAG012/document.
Full textDuring the Predynastic and Early Dynastic Periods (3900-2700 B.C.), anthropomorphic imagery is a theme of prime importance in Egyptian art. Human figures coming from the iconographic, ambiguous and written modes of communication are depicted on a large range of sources. While most of the studies focus on a single type of document, this work concentrates on a particular pattern, the human figure, by proposing a transversal approach of the anthropomorphic imagery. Therefore, this study aims to constrain the evolution of the human depictions during these periods. Through the inspection of the human figures, the study also aims to unravel the way the first Egyptians conceptualised themselves. This work is based on the creation of typologies for the human figures and associated patterns, analysed using statistical tools.The results reveal a chronological evolution of the human figures, with a distinct rupture between the Predynastic Period and the Early Dynastic Period. This transition relates to the introduction of a royal monarchy. This introduction causes a dichotomy between royal and private documentations owing to the appropriation of the art by the state. Besides, the anthropomorphic figures show the appearance of a personal identity in addition to the pre-existent collective identity. This feature is evidence of an increasing individuation
Durozoy, Anne-Sophie. "Le petit prophète Jonas au Moyen Âge : étude iconographique." Paris, EPHE, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011EPHE4016.
Full textJonah was often represented from the 12th to the 15th century in France, in the German countries as well as in England. He was less so in Spain, Italy, or in the Scandinavian countries. This study sets out to analyse texts and images so as to assess the part played by this character in pastoral, exegesis, theological compendiums, as well as in the the imaginary world. Jonah is a prominent figure in paleo-christian art. This little prophet was given a very unique treatment in the regions and periods that were influenced by Antiquity. Yet, they also reworked the meaning and the iconography of Jonah’s representations. The plant gave way to the whale as his main attribute. The emphasis before on the issue of Man’s Salvation shifted towards Resurrection. Indeed, Jonah prefigures the Christ in a double way. Being swallowed and cast out of the whale, he announces both Christ’s death and Christ’s resurrection. He is also one of the twelve minor prophets and in this respect he appears quite often - not always with an attribute - among other prophets, to show the continuity in God’s plan. He is ordered by God against his will to the city of Nineveh, which repents of his sins in a powerful way. Thus he appears quite paradoxically as a figure of repentance and that was used for pastoral purposes when the necessity of the sacrament of repentance arose after the Fourth Council of the Lateran. Jonah is often seen with a sea creature that would then be depicted in the form of a whale: his being in the belly of a great fish allows to identify him. The fascination for the marvellous as well as the hope of the Resurrection of the Flesh may account for the prominence of the whale episode

Full textWell over a century after the end of the Victorian era, one can still attract a new perspective on the iconography of female British art of this period by observing the representations of Marian resurgence. The return of the Virgin Mary figure in England appears to be problematic in many aspects - artistic, moral, social, historic and religious - which this thesis attempts to analyze. This thesis also seeks to understand and demonstrate how and why this country, in light of the fierce resistance of such representation once distinctive of the political and religious view in Britain, has shifted from an almost non-existent stance of such movement into its acceptance in a nineteen century of eclecticism and internationalism. Moreover, this thesis aims on one hand to defend the idea of an unfamiliar but genuine "English Madonna" and on the other hand to further establish the very fact of Marian resurgence in British cultural and geographical milieu. Likewise, this thesis will examine the influence of the Royal Academy of Arts, the Oxford Movement, the Catholic Revival, the Grand Tour, Romanticism, the Gothic Revival, Nazarene and Pre-Raphaelite movement, Orientalism, Aestheticism and Symbolism. Herewith, the following diverse arts are taken into consideration: painting, sculpture, architecture, music, stained glass, engraving, book art, poetry, jewelry, literature, textiles and photography. These unorthodox representations intermingle with those of Queen Victoria and those of the English woman, offering a unique phenomenon of a sacred iconography, namely the worship of "Madonnas secular" through an explicitly Marian or implicitly sacred inspirational image
Le, Guennec Gilles. "Fragmentation." Rennes 2, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987REN20018.
Full text"Fragmentation" designates the setting up of a relationship between painting, engraving and serigraphy, modulating a fascination for Pinocchio. "To the eye", "To others", "To the work", "To pleasure", each of these four volumes emphasizes a specific look. To the eye. To no avail : how to silence the comments that the works provoke? To others. The centering of the person is not alien to the exercerbated relationships, murdering and endebted to masters, that monsters indicate. Since invention proves to be made of borrowing, one must substitute for "the author" the praise of exchange, beaux-arts and arts and crafts taken together. To the work. Ergology (in the language and cultural sciences department of the University of Rennes 2) questions the graphic artist since it aims at transposing analogically the language analysis to art. To the reduction of activity to means and ends, to which would correspond painting, engraving and serigraphy-in relationship to Pinocchio - , one must substitute the duality of qualities and quantities in two ways : - through the "fragmenter" : not only is there no "raw material", but the latter is to be considered as a product of an elaboration-fragmenta- tion into useful qualities and utensils; - through the "fragmented" : in parting the fact from the effect, the fabricated from the intention, to recognize the creative potential of implied devices, always selected beforehand and arranged as to operations and tools. To sum up, the productivity of fragmentation lies in the interference of practices politically separated since quality and quantity are undifferentiately productive. To pleasure. Investments of affectivity in active conduct, more than in spoken conscious- ness, the fragmentation devices are therefore composed of ruptures and sutures. In the face of the emptiness of the excision, the questioning is modulated between the reticence of the engraver and the gluttony of the painter. No longer the "meaning", but the loss to be renewed of the metaphoric image of Pinocchio, diversely legitimates the iconoclasms, among which are graphic arts, scandalously indifferent. To link thus an esthetics of fragmentation to dif- ferent aims, is to stress a mobilisation of art through conflicting relationships

Full textThe observation of Marian figures in the iconography of goldsmiths 's work of the Rheno-Mosane region, the cradle of the Empire, allows to note the paramount place of the image of Mary as Virgin Mother and Queen and its frequent association with that of the Emperor. Imperial liturgy and Marian liturgy have been drawn together to exalt the power of the Emperor -the new Christ, the son of Mary- and to give Mary as a model for the Empress -mother and protecting wife of the Emperor's subjects. Thus, the iconography associates the glory of the Emperor with that of Mary, Queen of Heaven. It bestows a similar status to Mary mediator and to the Empress. The image of Mary as Queen reflects the conception of powers and social relations of an ordered society. It also expresses the political pretentions of the Emperor faced with the Pope. The association of the Marian with the Imperial image puts it into a context where spiritual and worldly powers are defined. However, the theme of Mary as the Mother of God and Queen seems to us to be paramount because it is in line with the traditional teaching of the Church. It is in this theological and liturgical tradition, that the underlying reasons for the choice of the theme of Mary as the Virgin Mother and Queen can be discovered. It explains the "classical" nature of our iconography, the specific characteristics of which have nevertheless become apparent by comparing it to its Byzantine and Roman models and to a Marian and royal iconography

Full textThere are certain characters that, even if they are not strongly linked to our day by day’s issues, obtain an extraordinary presence in our shared narrations and artistic images. They may not seem to represent important elements of our philosophical, cultural or political heritage, but they still play a key role in our collective references: we choose them, from generation to generation, as vehicles of our individual and social identities. During these last years as doctoral researcher at the universities Sorbonne Nouvelle and Complutense, I have studied these cultural processes through a singular case: “The cultural representation of the woman in power in Art and Fiction’s characters. Cleopatra: an example for the intertextual analysis. ” This research has been carried out through the coordination of two disciplinary fields -Communication Sciences and Sociology of Art- and has focalised on the analysis of a very specific sort of character: the cultural portraits of female social leaders made by art and fiction. With this purpose, we have chosen a single example to analyse it in its different historical, aesthetic and artistic representations: Cleopatra VII, the last leader of the Ancient Egypt and certainly one of the most popular historic feminine motives among artists and audiences

Full textJudas’ hanging, anecdotal episode from the New Testament, asserted itself as a recurrent topic in patristic tradition. During the Middle Age, suicide is reproved as a sin by the Church and as a crime by civil authorities ; it is a yet nameless taboo. On the contrary, Judas’ suicide, because it is symbolic and exemplary, is annotated, interpreted and pictured. It shows general hostility from medieval mentalities towards self-willed death, the “male mort”, as well as stigmatization of those who have dissociated from social entity and Christian moral values and who are doomed to the same death as Judas, not anymore considered a suicide but a punishment. The present study has in view to explore Judas’ suicide pictures, interpretations and their declensions and to point out how this topic serves, beyond suicide’s condemnation, the society normalisation effort, the civil authorities’ construction, the anti-Semitism rising, while showing a better knowledge of interiority, characteristic of medieval Humanism

Full textThe thesis is composed by three parts. The first contains a state of the art of the Jewish and Christians researches about Esther. The second part consist of the analysis of the biblical sources - Bible of the LXX, Vulgate, Targumim -, of the post-biblical sources - Flavius Josephus, Midrashim and Josippon -, and a chapter about the book of Esther in the Christian and Jewish exegesis. The third part develops the historical and iconographical themes. The historical background is focused on the phenomenon of the Marranos, that may be considered as the cause and the effect of the presence of Jewish and Christian elements in the same image. The iconographical study is focused on a certain number of cycles ; it faces the problems of interpretation of the story of Esther and analyses its symbolical values. It is completed by a specific analysis of a French cycle, drawn by Antoine Caron and engraved by Denis de Mathonière (1572-1582). The work is completed by an ample bibliography, a series of representative images and two annexes containing a comparative file of the chosen cycles and a series of iconographical datas

Full textThe edition and commentary of the Mistere de la Conception (Chantilly, ms. Condé 616) contains the integral transcription of an anonymous mystery of the late fifteenth century, kept in an unique manuscript. It is organized in three parts and contains 12000 verses. This dramatic text, completely original, tells the story of the Virgin Mary, from her birth to the virginal conception of Christ. The language is influenced by several aspects from occitan and francoprovençal. The versification of the text is irregular. The analysis of the staging of the mystery reveals a complex organization

Who is she who prepares the child for life with the amazing gift of accepting the inevitable separation? She is the mother who must brace herself to be ever after conjured up in relation to the past and the sweet times of childhood only. She is the mother whom the dying soldier calls on | the ground of the battle waged in the name of the land that, in order to be most defended, calls itself »motherland ». The mother is indubitably a woman in tears. She is the mother of the Annunciation. The Annunciation announces the birth of the Christ, at the same time, foreshadows the tragedy of the Passion and of his death. The reader of Pascal Quignard 'works is accustomed to Connecting the object of maternal love and the cruel lack of it with the depths of depression, anorexia and silence.

Full textThis work deals with Christian Gabrielle Guez Ricord's literary, graphic and pictorial oeuvre starting not only from its own literary and philosophical sources (Romanticism, mystical and esoteric traditions of the three monotheisms), but also artistic ones (Italian Annunciations, alchemical engravings, Byzantine icons). Part and parcel of Guez Ricord's oeuvre, the Angel experience can only be rendered by the negative mode. Our work analyses successively the expressive modalities through which the unsayable and the invisible gain access to means of representation. Several techniques used by Guez Ricord relentlessly push the boundaries of the figurable and the legible: the use of discursive deixis and of the prefix "trans-" which point to what cannot be named, the exploration of the cryptic value of the sign, the emergence of the symbolic vision owing to creative imagination. At the heart of the oeuvre lies the scene of the Annunciation which is turned into a "non-place", an enunciative scene indispensable to ritual, creative and efficient speech

Full textArtemisia Gentileschi is one of those women artists who nearly disappeared from art history. It is the sex-gender system subTending the field that is responsible for this near disappearance, not a change in taste or a destruction of the archives. The canon, being part and parcel of the phallocentric system, systematically puts aside women artists. Gentileschi's case is typical and is representative of the fate that befell all other women artists in the 19th and 20th centuries. The world will have to wait until the second half of the 20th for art historians -especially feminist ones- to rediscover women artists. Two works representing Judith and Holofernes, which played a pivotal role in understanding this artist, are paradigmatic because they evoked extreme reactions, ranging from admiration to rejection. Gentileschi handled this baroque theme -the decapitation of a wan by a woman- in a paroxysmal manner. These works are the locii where a reflection on the critical corpus and the place of the female spectator meet. And what if shadow, which plays such a great role in Gentileschi's works, were a metaphor for women? Analyse de discours, psychoanalysis and image semiotics form the theoretical basis of this thesis which calls for a profound modification of the canon

Both diachronic and comparatist, our analysis is mainly based on the parallel view of texts and images. It also lies on the simultaneous analysis of literary works belonging to different times and languages, in order to enhance the traditions which progressively emerged and responded to one another throughout the centuries about a woman who, in a single lifetime, was the wife of Uriah, the lover and spouse of king David, the mother of his son Solomon and one of the most subversive ancestors of Jesus Christ

Full textThis thesis is devoted to wall images of the Virgin’s earthly life, an iconographic sequence composed of the young Mary’s history and episodes from Christ’s life which are related to the Virgin, until Pentecost. This research comes within the extended framework from the early Christian art to the Council of Trent. It is based on an abundant iconographic documentation which includes more than 2300 pictures, wall paintings and mosaics, preserved in France and Italy. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the quantitative analysis of the iconographic documentation, according to a triple point of view. A thematic analysis identifies three phases in the chronological sequence of the Virgin’s earthly life, while specifying the quantitative importance of each of the studied iconographic themes. An analysis of the geographical distribution of different listed conservation sites reveals spatial characteristics which are specific to each territory studied, in connection with local history. Finally, a chronological analysis allows to integrate wall images from great phases of the art history, as well as to highlight the most emblematic decorations. The second part of the thesis is devoted to the iconographic investigation itself. As preamble, the various textual sources used in this research are presented. They are grouped into three categories : canonical sources, apocryphal gospels and medieval texts. The iconographic analysis of different themes about the Virgin’s earthly life are organized around three sequences : episodes preceding Christ’s birth (youth of Mary and Incarnation), those of Jesus’ Childhood (from the Nativity to Jesus among the Doctors) and those of adult Christ in which Mary plays a role (from Wedding at Cana to Pentecost). This analysis’ objective is to determine the different components of studied iconographic themes and to establish their specific typology, while stressing constants and breakpoints. The highlighting of the links between images and textual sources is also a priority of this research. Cross-cutting issues related to the development of Marian iconography itself, the process of images diffusion, the perception of the Marian figure as an edifying model and the study of the link between images and texts or their location in the ecclesial space are presented in the form of concluding reflections. In parallel, a selection of wall images of the Virgin’s earthly life, chosen according to the analysis arguments for their exemplary nature, is represented as three catalogues matching narrative sequences mentioned above. The selective bibliography on the various conservation sites is presented in each catalogue. Other bibliographic tools are provided in appendices volume. A thematic directory, listing all the wall images that belong to the iconographic documentation of the study, is also provided in appendix

Full textDuring the last years, the building process and history of art collections became a prolific field of study in Argentina. However, research on medieval art in private and public collections in our country received little or no attention. But even if medieval art is considerably less represented than modern styles, there is an interesting amount of high quality medieval pieces exhibited at several museums in Argentina. The main purpose of this thesis is therefore to expand our knowledge of the medieval works of art in public Argentine collections, as related to their origin, dating, interpretation, technique and provenance. These pieces show great diversity of styles, provenance and technique. Such heterogeneity demanded a selection, in order to define a homogeneous corpus of study. Among the many works of medieval art in Argentine museums, the Virgin and Child iconography is the most represented subject - accordingly, that subject has been our first focus of attention. Finally, owing to the abundance of sculpture, we have decided to limit our study to this technique; and in order to give further thematic consistency to our research; we decided to circumscribe our research to woodwork sculpture
