Full textAt the court of Philip II (360/359-336 BC) and Alexander the Great (336-323 BC) of Macedonia and probably because of contacts with the east, royal representations are more and more numerous among which mostly miniature portraits. Those small-sized portraits are made out of various materials and appear under a great variety of aspects - we are familiar of course with the portrait coins and glyptic portraits, but the effigies which decorate pieces of vessel and furniture are actually seldom investigated: these miniature portraits generally reproducing a sovereign's head or bust. This way of representing those portraits will be adopted by the romans, that's why portraits of emperors and empresses will also appear on small objets. Princes are represented on these with their royal badges or divine emblems. This study about miniature portraits will be three-fold: in the first place, we'll establish a corpus of these images so as to study their iconography. Then, after having debated about the origin of this mode of representation, we'll try to define the characteristics of these effigies and the links existing between those iconographic documents and the portrait coins and sculpted portraits. Then, in a third part, since these representations can't be totally pirely ornamental, we'll find it proper to consider whom they were intended to and how they were appreciated to which purposes they were used and whom they were intended for

Full textBetween Hellenistic and Roman imperial times, the Greek cities from the coastline of Asia Minor are the place of a phenomenon in which a social group play an increasingly important role: notables. During the classical era, the cities were also the place where portrait was set as an institution and as a genre. This PhD aims to study the interaction between this social group and that kind of staging in public space of the city. In order to understand this interaction, it was decided to start with a definition of the group of notables, from a sociologic perspective, which led to understand its societal needs. The portrait was then considered under the scope of its institutional aspects. This enabled to identify the different functions portrait might have and to become better acquainted with the social groups that can employ it. But it also helped to gain a better understanding of each other’s responsibilities in the making and setting up of the statue and, at last, to define the key qualities of the different parts of the monument. We subsequently focused on all the elements of the honorific representation, i.e. both the images and the eulogies in honorific inscriptions. These elements were studied thoroughly by using an analytical approach and taught us how monuments were built in order to produce an honorific discourse on their subjects. The places of these portraits were afterwards considered from various perspectives: are some locations preferentially picked, in connection with the civic and cultural life in the city? What is the topography of the portrait, and how is it staged in public space? To broaden the perspective, some changes in the practices of statue making were particularly looked at, such as the hypertrophy of statuary, its using as a staging of families, and its posthumous use. This trends defined, hence we understood that portrait was used as a means for a struggle over representations; the sixth and last part of the PhD aims to better understand this struggle over symbolic capital

Full textWhat does honorific representation stand for? Starting from this apparently simple question, the present study explores the many aspects of the habit, beginning in the 4th century B.C. and developing through the Hellenistic period, of granting the benefactors a representation of themselves. Based on the honorific decrees and the archaeological evidence, the analysis is primarily material. Thus, the expectations and constraints guiding the choice of a medium, of a material and of a place of erection are first examined. In the case of a statue, its size, the type of its base and the way it is fixed are thoroughly studied. But with their erection, the life of the representations just begins: a few chapters are devoted to their cleaning and also to their mutilation, destruction and reuse. Iconography is the second main topic of the study. Through a description of the remaining works of art, a portrait of the ideal city reflected by the honorific representation is drawn, from the victorious generals to the women. The limits of the genre are also explored, through a study of the representations of heroes and kings, but also of children. Both material and iconographic studies support the historical analysis. An introductory focus on the origins of the honorific representation allows a determination of the specific aspects of public representation. Keeping those in mind as a reference, the analysis turns then to the less studied private honorific and commemorative representations. This large scope exploration leads finally to an examination of the social and political role of the honorific representation and of its evolution through the late Hellenistic period

Full textThe figurative representations of the Ptolemaic sovereigns have a specific place in Hellenistic art because the ptolemies ruled in a land endowed with a strong political and cultural tradition. As a consequence, the Ptolemies were represented as an Egyptian pharaoh and as a Basileus king. More over, the phenomenon of divinisation which spread in the Hellenistic world after the death of Alexander the Great had an important effect on these royal representations. Thus, the royal iconography recovers God's attributes to divinise their kings, in this particular context of the Ptolemies' Egypt, our catalogue analyses the divine attributes in the Ptolemies' iconography and Greek, syncretic and Egyptian deities. The study of these divine attributes represented in numismatic, sculptures, gems, jewellery, reliefs and architecture has allowed us to shed light on the stylistic, religious and political interactions between the Egyptian world and the Greek world during the reign of the Ptolemies. The Greek art borrows Egyptian political attributes and the Egyptian art shows Greek influences by adjusting its artistic conventions to the Greek mentality. The Greek religion knows deep transformation due to the phenomenon of the divinisation and the apparition at the same time of Egyptian and Greek royal cults. In confrontation to the historical context our catalogue testifies the strong political will of the Ptolemies to set up a royal propaganda to affirm their Macedonian power in Egypt

Full textArchaistic sculpture is an original trend in greek and roman art. Archaistic sculptors endeavour to create the illusion of archaic art, by blending stylistic characteristics copied from archaic and classical art. Archaistic sculpture however is not exact copying. The iconography of archaistic art is limited to a few, but popular types : athena, the twelve gods, the citharedique reliefs, the reliefs with representations of nymphs or seasons. . . Romans differ from the greeks in their interpretation of archaistic themes. For instance, the kore becomes the goddess of hope; new decorative motives are introduced in the art of painting and stucco. In roman period, nearly all the archaistic themes have an attic origin. Some motives however are more recent. These archaistic themes have often a civic and religious meaning in greek art, and a philosophical and decorative significance in roman life. Archaistic sculpture is hard to date, because its evolution is very slow and because our approach of it is mainly stilistic. A few dates are however certain. Archaistic sculpture, which begins in the v th century b. C. And disappears at the end of the iind century a. D. Was produced in a few important centers : attica - the most important center -, rhodes, milet, pergamon, rome, corinth. Other centers may have existed in roman provinces. At each period of its development, archaistics art has a different style and can be assigned to a different school of artists. From the historic as well as the esthetic standpoint, archaistic sculpture has alot to teach us on art as well as on the mentalityes in greek and roman antiquity

Full textObject of this research is the study of the development of portrait painting in the Hellenistic and Roman period through the monuments from continental Greece, South Italy and the areas of Egypt, where the Greco-Roman civilization was present. The study of ancient portrait painting, which is preserved in a very fragmentary form, demands a double approach: the study of the theory through the literary documentation and the display of an archeological catalogue through the preserved monuments. Aim of this research, is to organize the documents using an analytical approach, witch initiates a discussion of concepts that contributes to the construction of notions of the ancient portrait. The painting of portraits is seen through a comparison of a textual enriched documentation, and the painted images, that our conception recognizes as representations, expressing the close relationship between the original model and its pictorial representation
Jockey, Philippe. "Techniques et ateliers de sculpture à Delos à l'époque hellénistique." Paris 10, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1993PA100020.
Full textFor more than a century, the excavations at Delos have brought to light a high number of sculptures. Among these are 160 unfinished works. These are not revealing for the history of sculptor's techniques during the hellenistic period. But they also betray the importance of local production and the topics treated by the workshops immediately before 88 and 69. These seem to illustrate two types of production in use at the same time. Thus there is first the technique of indirect carving by using the pointing process. Moreover, one witnesses the beginnings of a rationalised and low-cost production with a very repetitive output using a restricted variety of tools and techniques. It appears then that the original role of Delos in the setting up of new sculptural techniques in the late 2nd and early Ist centuries BC may have been underestimated until now

Full textIs it possible to trace significant differences between sculpted portraits of roman people found in italy and those coming from the Greek world during second and first century B. C. ? In a first part, we discuss about the very notion of portrait, its outcoming and development in the mediterranean area; and conclude that it aims to express special characteristics of a person, considering that physical likenesses do not really matter at the beginning. In a second part, we try to show in which way the roman conquest of Eastern Greek world influenced portraiture. Indeed, the romans seemed, on the one hand, to use for themselves the royal or private hellenistic patterns of portraiture, and, on the other hand, to make their portraits convey new specific values. The complexity of the phenomenon lies mainly in the fact that those values were not understood in the same way by Greek and Roman people, and the specific treatment of the portrait of romans that varied in the different parts of the greek world. The third part deals with the impact of the conquest of the Greek world on the republican portrait in Italy. It tries to take into account the adaptation of the hellenistic inheritage to roman society, as well as possible former or non-greek influences, in order to determine what marks the difference between this type of portraits and the former Greek ones. The specific stylistics, typology and iconography of the different regions and social groups are considered. A short chronological study tries to trace back the train of reactions that made possible the transition from the republican to the imperial portrait, the latter one reflecting indeed the changings in roman society

Full textThis dissertation concerns the sculpted decoration of the so-called Monument of the Bulls at Delos: the extant sculpture of two figured friezes, the two bull protome capitals and an akroterion. Each element is described in detail and is accompanied by remarks on the state of its conservation and by interpretation commentaries. Our contributions are concrete: statistics permitting a better evaluation of the quantity of the extant sculpture and of the arrangement of the friezes, drawings that facilitate the lecture of certain fragments, new hypotheses on the interpretation and restoration of the sculpted decoration, extended comparisons with other iconographic documents. The proposed interpretations are basically hypothetical because of the limited quantity of the extant sculpture and the poor state of its conservation. However, they are formulated within the architectural context. The sculpted decoration underlines the military character of the building. The two bull protome capitals on piers indicated the entrance to the adyton where a double sacrifice, commemorating a double victory, was to take place ; the clerestory frieze depicted scenes of different battles on three or four sides: a Trojan battle attended by gods, an Ilioupersis and an Amazonomachy or an historical battle related to the campaigns of the Alexander the Great; the frieze of the cella depicted a marine and military subject, associated with heroization and immortality, probably the arming of Achilles; the akroterion, a Nike in a wind-blown peplos, reminded the naval victory that initiated the construction of the building

Full textDivided between several fields of research ( art history, philology and epigraphy), the study of statuary monuments of the governors of the eastern provinces of the late roman period (between the end of the third and the sixth century anno domini) deserves an averal analysis of the avalable sources. Such a study is proposed by this research which lists in a catalogue arranged by location, the inscribed bases and statues which originated in such monuments. The corpus which has thus been built up is then the subject of an analysis. This takes into account the most updated research on portraiture, which no longer considered the portraits as an image resembling an individual but as the materialisation of the person which is socialy an individual. This study therefore tackles different fields in which the social personality of these byzantine governors has been expressed and which can be perceived on their sculpture portraits : politics, economics, culture and religion

Full textThe undertaking of this work is to analyze the forms and functions that the landscape can take in a corpus of posthomeric epic texts. The Argonautica of Apollonius of Rhodes and its late anonymous rewriting The Orphic Argonautica, the Posthomerica of Quintus Smyrnaeus, the Ilioupersis of Triphiodorus, and The Dionysiaca of Nonnus Panopolitanus provide us with a fruitful field of investigation for the analysis of the literary representations of the landscape as transhistorical. Firstly, our texts operate one transformation of the archaic epic landscape that is first the image of the world with which it merges (the conformity placed between shield, island, and world) by separating the landscape from this equation and giving it greater autonomy. The world is a mosaic of autonomous landscapes that gain texture as they take on a dimension of identity. The polymorphism of the landscape then gives its moving texture to the world of the ancient Greeks : the plastic and artist dimension is borrowed by the Epic text to put into words the images of the world, which reveal epic landforms. A variety of landscape patterns emerges and opens the literary intertext to the heterogeneity of artistic forms. From this fusion of process and forms, a singularity arises, a singularity particularly antique of the perception and the translation of the landscape : wonder. Landscape and wonder mingle so narrowly as to substitute one for the other : this is a possible definition of the ancient landscape from the Hellenistic period. But the landscape as thus identified and constructed also belongs to the world the image of which it contributes to form. It is clearly localized in a geographical perspective : the landscape becomes a vivid picture of the world and the former offers the latter its identity by its unique topical characteristics. It is a form of regional identification and it is sometimes confined to the vernacular. The landscape becomes an instrument for intellectual and cultural promotion. Between formal diversity and local singularity, the landscape travels between fiction and reality : its construction methods borrow from the literary and artistic and then extend to nature. The epic genre, characterised by innovative intertextuality, makes the landscape the image of the process of transposition and adaptation. As a manifestation of the exercise of a singular and then a collective ancient subjectivity, the landscape is an instrument for measuring the unfolding of the imagination at work in the complex process of literary reception and cultural transmission ; the ancient landscape between transmission and invention, opens itself up to the everyday and social experience. Its ancient existence is effective

Full textThe study examines the techniques used to attach statues to their bases in the Greek world from the end of the 7th c. BC to the end of the Hellenistic period. Starting from bases bearing inscriptions, it builds on a corpus of 387 monuments from Delphi, Delos and Athens, showing traces of attachment. Their description and analysis can be found in a separated catalogue. In the first part of the study, a chrono‐typology was elaborated, identifying and dating each technique according to the material, the size and the type of the figures. In the second part, the traces of attachment were interpreted as signs of the missing statue. First, we showed that these traces brought information on its material and its size but also its type and its position. Then we focused on signed bases and proceeded to a cross‐examination of the kind of technique used and the position revealed by the traces in order to identify artisanal traditions specific to regions or workshops. Finally, we considered the reasons for using marble or bronze for statues; we thus showed the importance of the setting context from the classical period onward, as exemplified by the come-back of marble sculpture in the 2nd c. BC. The study is thus intended as a contribution to research both on attachment techniques and sculpture in its context

Full textLiterature and painting seem to be the most favourable fields for the development of intimacy during the nineteenth century. The notion has, nevertheless, its place too in the field of sculpture which by processes of its own, manages to reveal it. Even though self-portraits, such as conceived by Carriès or Gauguin, are particularly suitable for introspection they remain a unique experience that does not apply to every sculptor. The expression of intimacy is then to be found in portraits where artists tend to bring out the interiority of their model, in the manner of Carpeaux and Rodin. The fundamentals of dialogue between intimacy and sculpture are thus laid down. The term is also defined by its versatility, in relation to the context of order and reception, to aesthetic issues of the time, to the mystery of creation and, finally, to its own limits. Intimacy is a protean concept that can take on its full meaning through a single iconographic aspect or modalities of creation of sculpture. This very concept permeates all forms of sculpture and is expressed in sculpted portraits as well as in small groups, statuettes, even monumental sculpture. Our study of works by Claudel, Dalou or Rosso allowed us to understand that more than an aesthetic current in its own right, intimacy is rather a distinctive feature that brings works together. Intimacy therefore appears as a tool to study the sculptural fields ranging from 1865 to 1909 from a new angle

Full textThe current study concerned the ancients' changing perception of the statue and its associated qualities during the enormous religious, political, and social upheavals of the 4th and 5th century A.D., focusing on the most clearly documented Western part of the Empire, particularly Africa, Italy and Gaul. The study draws on archeological, literary, legal and epigraphic sources more traditionally treated separately as belonging to either history or history of art. This multi disciplinary analysis casts new light on our understanding of statues, and the function of such images at the end of Antiquity as well as the unique plastic use of such images in sculpture in the round of the period. The images, which haunted the universe of the Ancients, were a product of its civilization in order to become the expression of it. This study thus takes an approach which includes social attitudes within the political and religious framework of a late Roman civilization in transition

Full textIn this PhD thesis were studied 341funerary monuments with portrait, found in ten cities of the Aquitaine region of Loire and Garonne in the Early Empire. Beyond being burial location markers in the cemeteries, these buildings are for this research a remarkable source of information on their implementation process in workshops, and thus a part of the population and society settlements. Thus, the purpose of this thesis is to highlight the dynamism and the distribution of these workshops and to address the social, economic and cultural issues that accompanied the selection by the customers and the sculptors of a certain type of monument and its iconography. The outcomes in the course of the analysis show that these monuments were manufactured between the mid-second century and the middle of the third. Then, technical differences due to changing modes, manufacturing processes and wishes of the sponsors who have allowed to identify workshops in each ciuitas with rather original characters. In addition, common production methods or specific to each territory were revealed in the various stages of development of monuments: commission for sculpture, choice of the medium, the iconography and the composition of images, as well as the value of decorations goes beyond the scope of their hardware implementation as it is to argue at all and forever in parallel with the protection of religion, social, professional and family dignity of the decease(s)

Full textThis study aspires to acheive a catalog of portrait herms in the Roman West in order to apprehend the semantic meaning of this original figurative support. Erected since achairc times by the crossroads and doors of greek cities, herms become, under roman influence, pedestals for portraits and not only representations of divinity. Those portraits can be divided into two iconographical categories : retrospective ones reproducing features of historical figures such as Homer and Menander, and those of private citizens, sometimes dedicated to their Genius and raised in the atrium of their house. More than a simple stylistical and iconographical analysis of this corpus, this study tries to give an historical and cultural reading of thoses sculptures, from the workshop to their exhibition contexts. This approach must allow the depiction of all the actors involved in thoses dedications, the clarification of thematic choices as of the reasons for choosing these abbreviated images, the definition of their place in the private space of the Roman villas in the context of domestic cults or that of the otium

Full textThis dissertation focuses on the freestanding statues of animals set as offerings, or anathemata, in Greek sanctuaries of the mainland, the Aegean islands and the coast of Asia Minor from the Archaic to the Hellenistic periods. The surviving statues found in sanctuaries corresponding to the geographical and chronological frames are gathered in a catalogue, and so were the statue bases on which animal statues stood and the epigraphic material linked with freestanding animal dedications. A second catalogue lists the animal statues recorded by ancient travelers in their visits of Greek sanctuaries. A contextual study on each of the animal categories recorded as freestanding anathemata in archaeological or written sources is a necessary step to understanding why these animals were chosen to be represented in statues offered to the gods. Each animal category was systematically analyzed.Their characteristics as live animals, their existence in the wild or in a domestic context, their use and function in society, the existing interactions between humans and animals are addressed. The place of animals in ancient Greek literature and mythology is also studied, and so are their artistic representations, within sanctuaries and in other contexts. The catalogue entries and typology corresponding to the surviving and literarily recorded freestanding anathemata of each animal category are presented at the end of each chapter of the contextual analysis, and so are their inscriptions and dedications, when known. A presentation of the receiving sanctuaries accompanies the presentation of the anathemata, which are classified by chronology and sanctuaries. Interpretations on the meaning of the offerings of animals per category comes at the end of each of the chapters of the contextual analysis. The last chapter of the contextual study gives an overview of the animals which are often represented in sanctuaries but absent from the present catalogues – as their absence might help understand the significance of the animals that are represented. Observations on ancient sculpture follow the treatment of each animal per category and focus on the aesthetics of animal statues, the materials used, the price of the anathemata, the practicalities and cost of their transport, and the identity and specialties of the artists who made them. Lastly, data drawn from the catalogues are presented and analyzed in a systematic manner in order to extract information about the significance of the offering of freestanding animal statues at sanctuaries. The links between the sanctuaries where animals were offered, the links between the dedication of animals and the receiving deities, the geographical implication and the diachronic evolution of the anathemata are analyzed. The physical place of the animal statues within the sanctuaries and the choice of animals are also studied. The public and private dedicators known through inscriptions and written sources are also presented and compared. Beyond the religious gesture, the political motives of public dedications are discussed. The wealth, gender and status of private dedicators enables the understanding of social implications connected to the dedication of animal statues
Αυτή η διατριβή εστιάζει στα ανεξάρτητα αγάλματα ζώων που παρουσιάζονται ως προσφορές ή αναθήματα σε ελληνικά ιερά της ηπειρωτικής Ελλάδας, των νησιών του Αιγαίου και των παραλίων της Μικράς Ασίας από την Αρχαϊκή μέχρι την Ελληνιστική περίοδο. Τα εναπομείναντα αγάλματα που εντοπίστηκαν στα ιερά που βρίσκονται στο γεωγραφικό και χρονολογικό πλαίσιο που αναφέρθηκε, οι βάσεις πάνω στις οποίες στηρίζονταν αγάλματα ζώων καθώς επίσης και το επιγραφικό υλικό που σχετίζεται με αφιερώσεις ζωικών αγαλμάτων, συγκεντρώθηκαν σε έναν κατάλογο. Ένας δεύτερος κατάλογος απαριθμεί τα ζωικά αγάλματα που καταγράφονται από τους αρχαίους περιηγητές στις επισκέψεις τους στα ελληνικά ιερά. Για να γίνει κατανοητός ο λόγος για τον οποίο τα ζώα αυτά επιλέχθηκαν να αναπαρασταθούν σε αγάλματα και να αφιερωθούν στους θεούς, θα πρέπει να πραγματοποιηθεί μια έρευνα για το πλαίσιο μέσα στο οποίο εντάσσεται κάθε κατηγορία ζώου που αποτελεί ανεξάρτητο ανάθημα, είτε σε αρχαιολογικές, είτε σε γραπτές πηγές. Έτσι, κάθε κατηγορία ζώων έχει συστηματικά ερευνηθεί και αναλυθεί: τα χαρακτηριστικά τους ως έμψυχα όντα, η ύπαρξή τους στην άγρια φύση ή ως κατοικίδια, η θέση και η αξία τους στην κοινωνία, η αλληλεπίδρασή τους με τον άνθρωπο. Η θέση των ζώων όπως εμφανίζεται στην αρχαία ελληνική γραμματεία και μυθολογία, καθώς και οι καλλιτεχνικές τους αναπαραστάσεις στα ιερά και σε αλλού, τίθενται επίσης υπό ανάλυση. Οι καταχωρίσεις στον κατάλογο και η τυπολογία που αντιστοιχεί στα διασωθέντα και καταγεγραμμένα στις πηγές ελεύθερα αναθήματα κάθε κατηγορίας ζώων, παρουσιάζονται στο τέλος κάθε κεφαλαίου της ανάλυσης, όπως επίσης και οι επιγραφές ή αφιερώσεις, όταν αυτές είναι γνωστές. Μια παρουσίαση των ιερών συνοδεύει την παρουσίαση των αναθημάτων, τα οποία έχουν κατηγοριοποιηθεί ανά χρονολογία και ιερό. Οι ερμηνείες για τη σημασία των προσφορών ζώων ανά κατηγορία εκτίθενται στο τέλος κάθε κεφαλιού της ανάλυσης. Το τελευταίο κεφάλαιο της αναλυτικής μελέτης παρέχει μια επισκόπηση των ζώων που συνήθως εκπροσωπούνται σε ιερά, αλλά εκλείπουν από τους καταλόγους -κι αυτό διότι η μνεία τους θα μπορούσε να βοηθήσει στην κατανόηση της σημασίας των ζώων που εκπροσωπούνται. Ακολουθούν παρατηρήσεις σχετικά με την αρχαία γλυπτική, που επικεντρώνονται στην αισθητική των ζωικών αγαλμάτων, τα υλικά που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν, την τιμή των αναθημάτων, τα πρακτικά ζητήματα και το κόστος της μεταφοράς τους, καθώς και στην ταυτότητα και τις ιδιαιτερότητες των καλλιτεχνών που τα δημιούργησαν. Τέλος, παρουσιάζονται δεδομένα από καταλόγους, τα οποία αναλύονται συστηματικά με σκοπό να προκύψουν πληροφορίες σχετικά με τη σημασία των προσφορών των ανεξάρτητων ζωικών αγαλμάτων σε ιερά. Ακόμα, αναλύονται οι δεσμοί μεταξύ των ιερών όπου τα ζώα προσφέρονταν, οι δεσμοί μεταξύ προσφερόμενων ζώων και θεοτήτων που τα δέχονταν, η γεωγραφική εφαρμογή τους και η διαχρονική εξέλιξη των αναθημάτων. Μελετώνται επίσης φυσικός χώρος των ζωικών αγαλμάτων μέσα στα ιερά και η επιλογή είδους ζώου. Οι δημόσιοι και ιδιώτες αφιέρωτες γνωστοί από επιγραφές ή γραπτές πηγές επίσης παρουσιάζονται και συγκρίνονται. Συ ζητώνται -πέραν της αφιέρωσης ως λατρευτικής πράξης- τα πολιτικά κίνητρα των αφιερώσεων. Ο πλούτος, το γένος, το φύλο και η κοινωνική θέση των ιδιωτών αφιερωτών συσχετίζεται με την κατανόηση των κοινωνικών εφαρμογών που συνδέονται με τις αφιερώσεις ζωικών αγαλμάτων

Full textFifteen women artists will be admitted to the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture between 1663 and 1793. Sincethe Renaissance, Europe and France, a small number of women enjoys a certain reputation both nationally andinternationally, in arts, literature and science, thus opening the way for new talent. These women are particularlyencouraged by the philosophical theses of Francois Poulain de la Barre (1647-1723) which will enable them to occupy amore privileged in a society that crystallizes around lounges. They are small and scholarly meetings where artists invitehome men and women to discuss literature, philosophy, art but also politics. These very popular places with greatsuccess in the late seventeenth century and throughout the eighteenth century. The reception of the first women to theAcademy is in this climate quite favorable to women both socially and culturally, and politically.But this admission only remains precarious. Indeed after the entry of Catherine Perrot, January 31, 1682, it will takealmost forty years, October 26, 1720, that is again admitted a painter Rosalba Carriera. Certainly, they open the doors ofthis institution, but they are nonetheless excluded from many activities and many privileges. They do not have the rightto attend classes of the living model - which poses naked - yet fundamental lessons in teaching promoted by theAcademy, nor to compete with great prices, yet in the heart of the system emulation in fact the academicians will neverhave access to positions of responsibility. Yet they have helped to reinvent the French artistic landscape and especiallythe portrait genre. Advocating natural, they helped to renew the female locker room with more light and gauzy outfits.Badly perceived by critics, these new shirts called saplings, took part in the simplification of official portraits. At thesame time, the feminization of court portraitists offer greater opportunities to women painters. Pushing the limits stillfurther, they succeeded through portraits to invest storied history painting, genre reserved for the most accomplishedpainters and good command of anatomy.Their contemporaries through their writings or artistic works proposed an idealized image, faked sometimes deceivedthese academicians. talented women, ambitious women, academicians still managed to impose a new vision of thewoman painter

Full textThe doctoral thesis is the first study of the rise of resembling portraits since 13th century. It reconstitutes a global structure of mimesis and resembling representation of man ; demonstrates that a new current emerges in 13th cent. Showing a particularly strong interest in physical appearence of man. Evidence of this are : new long-term embalming methods, re-emerging of death masks, effigies, substitution of the coat of arms by resembling figures, etc. Trend is linked to changes in view of man (giving higher value to human body). Antique interest in human physiognomy (death masks in wax) is shown very likely to have been transmitted to 13th cent. Occident (via Byzantium). The likeness of portraits (various mediums of making are analysed) is a prestige reserved for personages, meaning their dignity. Later, the likeness comes to stand for an individual in general. Comprehensive etymology of the word portrait (ca. 200 examples from 12th cent. On) and of "individual" confirm this evolution

Full textHow can one define these paintings and sculptures in the round that make up Japanese portraits of monks? Through their specific form that derives from a continental prototype which has never been reappraised and which remained stable except for short periods of time. Such a consistency results from a strong influence of China, and from the use of iconographic models (zuzō). Furthermore, copying a work of art has never been undervalued. Portraits are also images which benefit the sect that produces them. By providing an image or representation that never decays, they bear testimony to a monk's holiness, even buddhahood. Lastly, the Zen portraits (chinzō) are often seen as a kind of certification; however, this function seems quite rare. Group portraits, scrolls (emaki) and literature also describe people in their own way, allowing comparison with portraits. Portraiture could have followed its own path; it has preferred to borrow from holy images: deities, maṇḍala and jātaka illustrations

Full textWaxworks were not always the cheap sensation spinners as which we perceive them today. Before the invention and wide-spread use of photography and illustrated magazines they were an important medium for distributing visual information. No other form of communication could offer such immediate representations the protagonists of world history. Perhaps the greatest part in their success took the material wax which allowed the creation of deceptively lifelike and hitherto most realistic depictions of celebrated individuals. In this thesis, Madame Tussaud’s serves as a prime example for examining the mode of operation of a waxwork exhibition. As far as the sources allow, the itinerary, the ‘cast’ and display of the exhibition is reconstructed, as well as the number and the social background of its visitors during the first half of the 19th century. It emerges that Marie Tussaud was a talented portrait artist and a show woman of ambition whose carefully constructed exhibition attracted mainly middle-class visitors with an interest in human classification. Thus, the waxworks was a ‘rational entertainment’ that was thought to further the development of knowledge and character in its visitors. While Madame Tussaud’s was perhaps the most famous waxworks, it was not the first one. The history of commercial exhibition of life-sized wax figures goes back to the 17th century. Their concept, however, changed significantly over the centuries. Three forms of waxworks are differentiated here: a) the baroque waxworks of groups of figures narrating programmatic and allegorical stories, b) the enlightened portrait gallery – such as Madame Tussaud’s – where celebrities are presented as individual characters, c) the modern tableau waxworks, that represents extraordinary as well as everyday events in a realistic way that was hitherto unprecedented. As a channel for the distribution of news and as a medium for representing reality waxworks have become outdated. As a tickle for the senses, however, they will yet remain effective.
