Adam, Elliot. ""De blanc et de noir". La grisaille dans les arts de la couleur en France à la fin du Moyen Âge (1430-1515)." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023SORUL086.
Full textThis survey sheds light on the phenomenon of grisaille in the polychrome environment in which it was practised and perceived at the end of the Middle Ages. It offers the first analysis of the development of grisaille in France between 1430 and 1515, taking into account the challenges posed by the reduction of colour in all the media used by painters. The diversity of these works leads, in the first section, to a vast documentary survey aimed at understanding the ways in which grisaille painting could be named, thought about and reflected upon over a period extending from 1350 to 1600. The analysis demonstrates the conventional force of the expression “de blanc et de noir” (of white and black), which defines a chromatic mode distinct from that of the polychrome work. The analysis demonstrates the conventional force of the expression “of white and black”, which defines a chromatic mode distinct from that of the polychrome work. This formulation therefore covers a wide range of effects and admits of degrees of coloration that are sometimes very significant. On this basis, the second and third sections highlight the coexistence of two distinct manners of working “of white and black” in France from 1430 to 1515. By adopting the point of view of painters and their clients, the study sets out to define the ways in which these two methods were used and disseminated: one imitating works in stone, the other limiting the reduction to the light hues of drapery

Full textTroyes is a bright artistic centre at the end of the Middle Ages. Sites are numerous. Religious buildings are ornamented with stained glasses. Who orders them? Who are the stained glass workers? From the investigation realized from the Archives and from the stained glasses, the donors, clergymen or rich persons of Troyes, opened up to innovation, remain closed to tradition. Church has a preponderant part in choosing iconography. Among the fifty-one identified stained glass workers, twenty-three can be said stained glass artists. Generally, their works are included in the sites. Probably without any statutes, their workshops are small structures. In case of important demand, the stained glass artists form associations. They worked too in numerous churches of southern Champagne. Reproduction of stained glasses, associations, absence of works property and existence of nets of donors enable to interpret the apparent homogeneity of numerous stained glasses. The notion of Stained glass School of Troyes is confirmed and specified

Full textRoussillon is lucky enough to still possess a large number of paintings from fifteenth to sixteenth centuries ; it owns too an important documentation, partly transcribed in the bernard alart cartulary. The purpose of this thesis is the analysis of conditions of execution, iconography and style of preserved retables painted from the 1450's to the 1520's. Twenty-four works still in churches or museums of pyrenees-orientales county were retained, composed of complete or disorganised retables, compartments and lonely panels. Owing to some records, it is possible to place this study between the execution of the retable of sts michael and hippolytus of the church of palau-del-vidre, commissioned to arnau gassies on march 21, 1454 and the career in roussillon of jaume forner, known as the author of the retable of the high altar of the church of marcevol, for which he signed a receipt for payment on may 29, 1527. Manuscript records were widely consulted in the library of perpignan and in the archives departementales des pyrenees-orientales. Thanks to this documentation, a sociological study is sketched, considering the way of life, the surroundings and the culture of the painter, without omitting his working habits. Although we possess the names of number of painters active in roussillon during fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the records do not reveal to us the artists who executed the greatest part of the preserved paintings. Nevertheless, the study of contracts of other contemporary commissions, of literary works, of piety and of other evidences of every day life at this time help for the understanding of those works. The final aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that the paintings of this province of the northern side of the pyrenees have their place in history of art of catalonia. Even if a large part of this art may be taxed of provincialism, some personalities appear ; at the end of the fifteenth century, in particular, the pictorial circles of perpignan were very dynamic

Full textA recent census shows that from the roughly 350 medieval wall-painted buildings to be found in the 5 departments of this diversified region, only half remains today. Among them, 36 may date back to the romanesque period, 50 to the XIVth century, 4 to the XVth, 50 to the end of the XVth and beginning of the XVIth, and 81 at last to the XVIth century. One could wish there had been some artistic center or famous workshop in Aquitaine. Although the first period reveals its links with the Poitou , the Languedoc or the Catalonia, the XIVth century is more creative with a style of its own, wich is sometimes similar to court art ; the end of the middle-ages is fertile but tends to denegerate and become moral ; eventually some trends from the North or from Italy (via the Southern Garonne) made this period lose part of its technical skills and meet a style crisis. Most of paintingscan be found first in the department of the Gironde, then the Dordogne, the Landes, the Lot-et-Garonne and finally the Pyrenees-Atlantiques. Nevertheless, creation has been affected by a long time of war (from 1345 to 1453) wich destroyed the countyside, by the fact that monasteries tended to settle in town and sometimes became austere, by the location at the crossroads on the way to Santiago de Compostela, and finally by the protestant revolution (1540-1592) wich was still deeply rooted. At the end of the period , the parishes would borrow their decoration items from the XIVth and XVth century, without trying to innovate

Full textThe city of Metz in France holds an exceptional collection of medieval painted ceilings made between the 13th and 15th centuries. Despite being destroyed, incomplete, missing or still unknown, twenty-seven ceilings were the subject of this research. Their study allowed to follow the artistic evolution and to apprehend the styles of Messinian civil interior decorations, without interruption during two centuries. These unknown ceilings are a priceless source of information for the knowledge of the historical and artistic heritage of the city at the end of the Middle Ages. Indeed, they are the testimony of a know-how of the carpenters, the painters and the active workshops in Metz, but also of the wealth of the patrician houses and the art of living of the members of the urban elite. Research around these decorations allows us to immerse in the heart of a European artistic production of the last centuries of the Middle Ages with the use of iconographic themes of great diversity (plant ornamentation, bestiaries, holy figures, tournaments of jousting, Arms). This study follows a multidisciplinary approach intended to display the scientific, material, historical, heraldic, iconographic and stylistic realities of the painted ceilings, in order to detect, among others, what could be the purpose of these sets and the messages that the landlords, of a high social status, wished to convey to their guests. These luxurious ornamentations are undeniably linked to their financial ease, their knowledge of medieval literature, the local artistic environment and the major diplomatic events they were faced with

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 textWall-painting is viewed as a material medium of communication deeply linked to the places of worship and devotion that are churches. As a part of this place et by its monumental character, it forms a privileged way of spread for messages which addressees belong to terrestrial and celestial spheres. Those religious places and spaces, which wall painting is a good part, should consequently be viewed by taking account of its function and attendance. This dissertation proposes to envisage medieval religious practices through the prism of wall painting of the former dioceses of Clermont, Le Puy and Saint-Flour (1317). At first, the political and religious frameworks, historiography of the studies on wall painting and the problematic are exposed. Secondly, questionings induced by murals linked to spaces used by believers and clerical communities are developed. Thirdly, questionings inherent to murals inserted in material environment of the pious foundation, which serve as setting for liturgical or non liturgical prayers, and which are included in an individual and/or family context, are treated. The aim of this study is to consider iconographic and epigraphic expressions within private and community frameworks. Indeed, issues are very different, notably at levels as signs of identity and iconographic themes as portrait

Full textThe colour setting of the church interior completes its building. Distempers, geometrical decorations, highlights putting rythm into the architecture or iconographic programs, this colour setting is doomed to be altered over time. The research focuses on small rural churches of Ile-de-France, less studied than those of towns. They are often remarkable by their multiple building campaigns still to be observed in their walls. Notably, the colour setting of the churches is following this evolution. Study of the building allows getting a finer chronology which introduces to colour setting’s analysis and its evolution throughout centuries. A historical research, as accurate as it can be, tries to highlight the possible sponsors of the painting. The similarities and differences in techniques, colours, kinds of decoration, and iconographic choices among a number of churches allows to capture changes on the long run, particularly between "classic" Middle Ages (XIIth and XIIIth centuries) and the end of Middle Ages (half XVth – halph XVIth century). Moreover, each part of a church has a very specific function to fulfill and we shall attempt to show relationships between paintings, their location in the building and their sponsors. Finally, we shall try to identify the multiple choices made within the rural churches, and to understand their differences, should there be any compared to other regions of France or neighboring towns

Full textThere are nowadays many studies about aristocratic houses and their decoration. This study on decoration was achieved from the huge corpus of seignorial residences dated between the 13th and the 16th Centuries in the region of Viennois and Grésivaudan where a number of seignorial residences was found. Fifty-three selected sites gathered from a wide investigation were organized in two ways: firstly by documentary research in the archives, the libraries and the center of document resource, secondly by intervention in the studied area. This research focused on different categories of decoration: architectural, figurative, sculptural and painted decor. The research aims to establish the corpus of seigniorial residences which will enable it to study the entire decorative aspect of the selected sites. This will also allow for a new perspective of aristocratic house research.The castles and the fortified manor houses are known today as the existing aristocratic accommodation, which are in quite a large number and are unique in their architectural elements. The similarity of the two seignorial residences lies in their architectural characteristics. The quantity of them allows for an extension of the research framework for determining a sufficient number in terms of the studied sites. On the contrary, the difference of status between the castles and the fortified manor houses permits a comparison of their decorative aspects. Le Dauphiné has a great number of seignorial residences. The territory of Grésivaudan has been recognized for suitable settlement with fertile land in the mountains of Chartreuse and Belledonne. As for Viennois, this territory has a geographical variation which caused different characteristics of houses. Moreover, the history of Dauphiné presents a long period of independence with the succession of several Counts. The conquest policy was applied for defending the enemies in the surrounding areas and also for conquering more land. A great number of seignorial residences was included in this research. The study period from the 13th to the 16th Centuries is known as the transitional time from the end of the Middle Ages to the beginning of the Renaissance, there were many changes in different domains. These changes reflect the evolution of the decoration of aristocratic houses. The study of decoration of the respective seignorial residences will enable us to learn about the characteristics of the architectural and figurative decoration. Understanding the architectural decor involves a study of the architectural elements: doors, windows, turrets, watch-turrets, brattices, arrow holes and chimneys. The figurative decoration means a study of figurative presentation. The elements concerned are painting motifs and mural painting, sculptural motifs and figures. Molding in architectural decor emphasizes the structure of decorative elements. The frames of the doors and windows can be noticed by volumetric and symmetrical effects which can be seen on the lintel and the lower part of the frames of the structure. The appearance of sculpted shields above the doors and windows help complete the decorative aspect of the elements. The chimney has the same decorative effect but the molded decor would be on the upper part and the corbel or side posts. As for the figurative decoration, the presence of different figures like trees, animals, men create an in-depth dimension and more narration or a narrative scene. The painting motifs and the mural painting form a narrative which show a series of pictures which tell the sequence of an event or several successive scenes. Besides, as the corpus of the research assembles a great number of several types of decoration dating from 13th to 16th Centuries, it consequently reflects a stylistic evolution of decorative elements
