Façade et circulations urbaines : enjeux architecturaux et figuratifs. Le cas de Nantes
2008
National audience; Commencés en 1434, les travaux de reconstruction de la façade de la cathédrale Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul de Nantes viennent s'implanter au-devant d'une ancienne façade romane qu'on prévoit de détruire après englobement des structures. Des indices archéologiques (partiellement masqués, de manière malheureuse, par les restaurations récentes) permettent d'apporter des précisions sur le fonctionnement de ces campagnes de travaux et sur les modalités de cette transition de la façade romane à la façade gothique. Ces informations obligent immédiatement à replacer ces travaux dans le contexte plus large des circulations internes de la ville et, singulièrement, du déplacement d'u…
Orfeo Boselli e la “nobiltà” della scultura
2002
Orfeo Boselli, scultore, teorico e restauratore, non ha lasciato significativa traccia di sé in nessuno dei campi in cui ebbe modo di cimentarsi e persino delle sue vicende biografiche e della sua produzione artistica si hanno notizie frammentarie. Sebbene il suo nome compaia in diversi testi di critica d’arte, la sua figura scivola silenziosa nel panorama dell’estetica seicentesca e, a tutt’oggi, non esistono opere monografiche che valorizzino il ruolo, certamente non secondario, che questo scultore, considerato “minore” dagli storici dell’arte, svolse nel dibattito teorico del suo tempo. Le Osservazioni della scoltura antica si inseriscono nella tradizione avviata dai teorici del Quattroc…
La collezione storico artistica
2021
The essay illustrates the heterogeneous collection of the Civic Museum, named after the scholar and collector from Erice Antonio Cordici (1586 – 1666), begins a come to life around 1876. The Hernandez and Coppola donations, along with the artifacts acquired after the post-unification suppression of religious orders, constitute the main nucleus of the permanent exhibition, previously set up in the town hall and since 1939 in the rooms adjacent to the Library. The current arrangement of the collection of historical-artistic assets, which combines, through an adequate museographic set-up, the enhancement of the works with the conservation and safeguarding aspect, exhibits the artifacts accordi…
Identification of lead pigments in nanosamples from ancient paintings and polychromed sculptures using voltammetry of nanoparticles/atomic force micr…
2007
Voltammetry of nanoparticles coupled with atomic force microscopy was used to identify lead pigments in nanosamples proceeding from works of art. Upon mechanical attachment of few nanograms of sample to a graphite plate, well-defined voltammetric responses were obtained for lead orange, lead yellow, lead white, litharge, minium, Naples yellow, and tin-lead yellow, allowing for an unambiguous identification of such pigments. Atomic force images provide evidence for the occurrence of pigment-characteristic reduction processes accompanied by metal deposition on the graphite substrate. Electrochemical parameters are used for pigment identification. Application to the method for identifying lead…
Actuality of Art Education at the Beginning of XX Century in East Europe. Graphic Constructions Through Gestaltung and Formenlehre in Figurative Crea…
2018
The great innovations in the field of the elaboration of forms and figures in the last century have often sometimes accompanied the amazement and optimism of the discovery, a methodological uncertainty shared with other fields of Knowledge. It is undeniable that the advent of information technology and representation—together with the socio-economic changes that have taken place—has laid the foundations for an irreversible ontological leap in the process of form processing, and yet very often there are references historians that can somehow inspire current theories and practices. In this sense, some interpretations considered to be classical, from Valery to Benjamin, from Arnheim to Waburg,…
Rethinking the stylistic categories of Portuguese 19th Century Sculpture: The Work of António Teixeira Lopes
2018
El artículo reflexiona sobre las categorías estilísticas de la escultura portuguesa del siglo XIX a partir del análisis de la obra de António Teixeira Lopes, considerado el principal representante del naturalismo escultórico de este país. En primer lugar, se aborda el concepto de naturalismo en la historia del arte portuguesa, ofreciendo una visión crítica sobre su separación en relación con el Romanticismo, a diferencia de la teoría dominante en la historiografía especializada sobre este tema. Al mismo tiempo, demostraremos la dificultad que entraña la aplicación de los conceptos de análisis de la pintura a la escultura cuando se analiza una obra de arte concreta. En segundo lugar, con el …
Les Marca (fin XVIIe - début XIXe siècles) : itinéraires et activités d'une dynastie de stucateurs piémontais en Franche-Comté et en Bourgogne
2013
The topic of this thesis is the Marca dynasty, a piedmontese family from the Valsesia area, specialized in the stucco work. In the early eighteenth century, some of its members migrated to the Franche-Comté in France, in search of work, the others remaining in Piedmont. Their realizations can be studied in religious places and private houses in Italy, in Franche-Comté and Burgundy. These works (altars, pulpits, statues and bas-reliefs in stucco) were created between the late seventeenth century and the early nineteenth century. This topic is entirely unpublished, especially as the information on this family are rare and scattered. Moreover, no research has been undertaken on it, neither in …
Il recupero e la manutenzione della Gipsoteca di scultura antica del Dipartimento Culture e Società dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo
2018
The Department Cultures and Societies of the University of Palermo in Italy owns a collection of forty plaster casts of ancient sculpture, dating back to the age of the academic teaching of Antonino Salinas (1841- 1914). In the intentions of the great archaeologist of Palermo, the plaster cast collection was of unavoidable help to teach classical art, in line with the contemporary usages of the Italian and foreign Universities. In the following decades, as everywhere, the collection progressively ended up by losing its central position in the study of archaeology, according to the transformations and the developments of the discipline over the twentieth century. In the latest times, all the…
L'utilisation des reliefs naturels dans l'art gravé et sculpté pariétal du paléolithique supérieur français
2005
Pendant toute la durée du Paléolithique supérieur, en Espagne et en France principalement, les artistes ont réalisé des figurations en utilisant les reliefs naturels et la morphologie des parois de grottes ou d'abris-sous-roche. Ce phénomène artistique, qui a toujours préoccupé les préhistoriens, a suscité les interrogations et les interprétations les plus diverses de la fin du XIXe siècle jusqu'à présent : origine de l'art, préoccupations magico-religieuses, organisation spatiale et sanctuarisation de l'espace souterrain, structures pariétales, chamanisme, techno-cultures, etc. Pendant longtemps, ce que les formes rocheuses pouvaient avoir d'évocateur a été considéré comme la raison d'être…
Rinascimento “contemporaneo”. Riflessioni sul dialogo tra antico e moderno
2021
The exhibition of two video installations by Bill Viola, a contemporary artist considered the father of the Electronic Renaissance, is an opportunity to reflect on the Sicilian Renaissance. The contribution analyzes the relationship between ancient and modern in sculptural works by Domenico Gagini through the theme of water and purification, the theme of the exhibition. Works of decorative art in coral and silk are also analyzed, always linked to the lustral theme
