Abstract

Comme l'illustrent L'École d'Athènes de Raphaël ou L'Apothéose d'Homère d'Ingres, la Renaissance marque l'avènement de l'artiste, qui revendique désormais un statut intellectuel et social comparable à celui des philosophes-poètes. Mais le travail manuel reste au coeur de son activité : matériaux et pratiques artistiques sont engagés dans l'oeuvre au même titre que la vision poétique. L'idée artistique elle-même ne naîtrait-elle donc pas aussi du maniement physique des outils et des matériaux ? Et l'architecture, semblant confinée dans une pensée isolée de la fabrication matérielle, pourrait-elle s'intégrer dans cette perspective progressivement admise pour les autres arts ? Les questionnements qui traversent ce livre invitent à une réflexion sur le rôle de la matière, des instruments et des gestes dans le travail artistique, mais aussi sur le dialogue qu'entretiennent les arts entre eux, favorisé par l'utilisation de matériaux communs, à travers l'étude de quelques oeuvres majeures de l'architecture de la Renaissance italienne.

Abstract

The Naturalis historia by Pliny the Elder provided Renaissance scholars, artists and architects with details of ancient architectural practice and long-lost architectural wonders - material that was often unavailable elsewhere in classical literature. Pliny's descriptions frequently included the dimensions of these buildings, as well as details of their unusual construction materials and ornament. This book describes, for the first time, how the passages were interpreted from around 1430 to 1580, that is, from Alberti to Palladio. Chapters are arranged chronologically within three interrelated sections - antiquarianism; architectural writings; drawings and built monuments - thereby making it possible for the reader to follow the changing attitudes to Pliny over the period. The resulting study establishes the Naturalis historia as the single most important literary source after Vitruvius's De architectura.

Abstract

"Qualifiée d' "ombilic du royaume" par l'humaniste florentin Francesco Florio, Tours est à partir de la décennie 1440 le lieu de séjour favori des rois de France et de la cour et, dès lors, l'une des villes les plus importantes du domaine royal. Dès la seconde moitié du siècle, elle s'impose comme l?un des grands foyers artistiques reconnue comme capitale du luxe autour des années 1500. C'est ce foyer que le colloque organisé en mai 2012 au Centre d'Études Supérieures de la Renaissance, et dont les actes sont publiés ici, a choisi d'étudier. Le regard des chercheurs s'est porté sur la cité elle-même à la fois comme lieu de naissance des œuvres et comme plaque tournante de la création artistique largement ouverte vers d'autres villes. Territoire investi par les commanditaires et les artistes tourangeaux ou étrangers, il fut un lieu d'échanges privilégiés entre ces différentes catégories d'acteurs pour une production touchant aux arts monumentaux (architecture, sculpture), aux arts précieux (broderie, orfèvrerie), aux arts de la couleur (enluminure, peinture) ou aux arts de la guerre."--Back cover.

Abstract

Illuminated manuscripts are an excellent source of information about the interiors inhabited by people in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Artists regularly depicted the castles and palaces of the ruling classes, as well as the houses of ordinary people - merchants, craftsmen and peasants. This attractive new book is the first to study the subject in such depth, and it uncovers a wealth of little-known illuminations that help us to learn more about life at home, in workshops and elsewhere. The author presents manuscript miniatures as illustrations to an account of house interiors which includes their architectural features (such as windows, doors or fireplaces), furniture and other household objects. She concentrates on the social, cultural and stylistic aspects of Gothic domestic settings and presents them in the context of their Romanesque antecedents and Renaissance successors.Readers with an interest in interior design will find this an unparalleled source of information and illustrations on the design of this period, and specialist readers - historians, archaeologists and students of art and architecture - will welcome this as a major reference on a little-studied subject.

Abstract

The growth of princely states in early Renaissance Italy brought a thorough renewal to the old seats of power. One of the most conspicuous outcomes of this process was the building or rebuilding of new court palaces, erected as prestigious residences in accord with the new ‘classical’ principles of Renaissance architecture. The novelties, however, went far beyond architectural forms: they involved the reorganisation of courtly interiors and their functions, new uses for the buildings, and the relationship between the palaces and their surroundings. The whole urban setting was affected by these processes, and therefore the social, residential and political customs of its inhabitants. This is the focus of A Renaissance Architecture of Power , which aims to analyse from a comparative perspective the evolution of Italian court palaces in the Renaissance in their entirety. Contributors are Silvia Beltramo, Flavia Cantatore, Bianca de Divitiis, Emanuela Ferretti, Marco Folin, Giulio Girondi, Andrea Longhi, Marco Rosario Nobile, Aurora Scotti, Elena Svalduz, and Stefano Zaggia.
