Plum, Gilles. "Les palais des Beaux-Arts et le pont Alexandre III : un ensemble architectural et urbain en 1900, entre éclectisme et renouveau classique." Paris 4, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA040199.
Full textThe Grand Palais and the Petit Palais, first named the Palais des Beaux-Arts, were built with the pont Alexandre III for the Paris exhibition of 1900. These were not ephemeral realization, but the chief attraction of 1900: permanent monuments like the best known of Paris. The operation was a success for the general public. But historians of architecture quickly consider these monuments as school projects put here without reflection. Nevertheless, that's not what seems to show the important existing archives
Lenoir-Quintard, Magalie. "Entretenir un monument gothique sous l'Ancien Régime : la Sainte Chapelle du Palais." Paris, EPHE, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007EPHE499A.
Full textAt the end of teh XVIIIth century, the Sainte Chapelle of Paris was in a rather disconcerting state: although an essential monument binding the french monarchy to the holy relics of the Passion, thus offering both the relics and their royal protector to the common worship of the french people, the building and its decorations were in a surprisingly severe condition. The present analysis of the maintenance and embellishments made to the Sainte Chapelle between the end of the middle-ages and 1795 is therefore restoring an essential part of its history, through a study of general repairs and daily maintenance operations carried on the structure itself, as well as on its decoration, furniture and liturgical ornaments. The methodology used mixing institutional analysis, identification of economic trends and review of artistic evolutions could be applied to the other monuments of the french "Ancien Regime". It provides interesting insights on the role of dedicated personnel buildings, part of an institution distorting the allocation of funds at the expense of the monument's maintenance. It provides also useful hints on the evolution of medieval monuments, suffering from the vicissitudes of time and changing esthetical taste. The incomes dedicated to the Sainte Chapelle and the efforts made to maintain and embellish the monument finally reveal an already existing sense of heritage. A more thorough appraisal has yet to be made of its influence in medieval and modern architecture

Full textThis research is dedicated to the Palais de Paris from the 1670s to the 1790s. Located on the Ile de la Cité, the Palais is a former royal residence which houses a set of buildings and yards with a variety of functions. It comes across as both the canonical quarter of the Sainte Chapelle and as a hand-made and half-luxury commercial point. It also hosts a collection of courts, some of prime importance, starting with the Parlement and the Chambre des Comptes. Understanding how these different functions coexist, oppose or cooperate is at the centre of our research. We will analyse those various relationships in the legal enclosure corresponding to the territorial jurisdiction of the bailliage du Palais and see how this territory is taken up by its inhabitants and by all Parisians. Our approach, essentially spatial, is based on a corpus of plans, sections and elevations that allowed to carry out graphic and cartographic renditions and to assess architectural transformations throughout the eighteenth century. It also relies upon the funds of the bailliage du Palais and of the Attorney General of Parlement. We are considering the internal structure of accommodation, shops and courts (courtrooms, boardrooms, prosecutor's office, tribunal registry, refreshment bars) as well as the points of contact between the various jurisdictions (Grande Salle, Conciergerie). It is also about placing the Palais in its urban context through the analysis of its social composition and the practices specific to this territory. The public use of the Palais implies specific forms of supervision and leads to the development of a particular culture

Galletti, Sara. "Marie de Médicis et le Palais du Luxembourg." Paris 4, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA040273.
Full textThe history of the Luxembourg Palace, the first Royal Palace ever built in Paris following a unitary design, had not been the object of a complete monograph since 1904-1910-11. Unpublished or not completely exploited archival sources bring a better understanding of its project and of its economical planning between 1611 and 1615, as well as further knowledge on the building construction - left incomplete in 1631 after the Queen's definitive exile - under its different directors, Salomon de Brosse, Jacques Lemercier and , for the garden, Tommaso Francini. For the first time the interior distribution of the Queen's apartment is also clarified, thus revealing the similarities, despite the differences of the architectural setting, with the Queen's apartment in the Louvre. Suburban Parisian residence built by a Florentine princess, the architecture of the Luxembourg is completely original one, the result of the creative mixture of French and Italian traditions. Dedicated to the couple once formed by Maria de' Medici and Henri IV -as shown by the iconography of the sculpted and painted decorations - the Palace cannot be simplistically interpreted : other that "house" referred to in 1611, the Queen has built a memorial Palace, so that nobody, within the contemporary political context, can forget the source of her authority and power

Full textMonarchical french painted ceilings realized between the end of the "Fronde" (1653) and the death of Colbert (1683) are numerous, from the Louvre apartments to the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. From a formal point of view, there is a triple unification: structural, iconographical and ornamental, with a hierarchy of the subjects and a submission of the ornaments to the themes of the decorations. All programs are founded on metaphor: either enigmatic, when the beholder has an active part to play, or emblematic, when the meaning is given precisely by a text. The meaning remains always part of a system, where the supremacy of the king is related to the benefits the subjects get from it. The careful composing of the iconographical programs implies that the meaning is part of the "esthetic significance" i. E. , that is the part the authors wanted the beholder to perceive on an esthetic level

Full textThe architecture of parisian colleges was a reflection of the religious, intellectual and social context linked to the University’s presence in the capital of the Capetian Kingdom still asserting itself. The Fourteenth century was a turning-point of the college pattern spreading in Paris, thanks to the king and his political circle’s involvement. College buildings displayed great pragmatism due to the Left Bank peculiar urbanization along with signs of royal and religious models reception. The Sainte-Chapelle and mendicant experiments were undoubtedly the main inspiration for parisian colleges. Combining all these influences produced a dissimilar group of structures, from spacious convent to simple burgess house. As most medieval colleges have been destroyed, a multiple approach - based on archeological evidence and records researches - revealed itself necessary to understand their architecture in its whole complexity

Full textThroughout the 19th century Paris remained by a cultural and artistic point of view a tropism at the heart of Europe, in particular thanks to big french opera which was accoding the specialists of the question a major political art from 1820 till 1870 ; so that the opera of Paris became the first Euopean stage. Given that, in 1879 the Republic of the opportunist was not only going to prime a radical turning point in the french political life but also to fix number of elements which belong of our current political scene. So, it seemed to us interesting to ask us one hand, if the big French opera at the end of the 19th century and more exactly from 1879 till 1914 remained a representative musical genre with regard to the artistic realities and on the other hand, if it always joined one a historical and political perspective either on the contrary it had become an old-fashioned archetype ? For that purpose, we are attached in a critical study of the various specifications which legally the big opera of Paris, even if the musical genre is previous is it true a little of these, before interesting us in the esthetics itself of the latter. Then, secondly we chose to bring the light the financial implications of the artistic compagny at the heart of the IIIth Republic, by estimating the part of the opera of Paris with the regard of the otherbordering frendh-speaking theaters. It is a socialcritical study of determined genre by the Institution which reflects is that we dedicated ouselves while demonstrating that the IIIth Republic had comitted the Institution in heavy contraints governed by a specifications which bound the Opera of Paris to the State, at a period of political stability

Full textThe royal library, known as the "librairie du Louvre", was the royal book collection, assembled in small rooms on three levels of a Louvre tower. About 900 manuscripts were in the library, which made it the biggest non-clerical library in the West. At the centre of my research, I study the following question: How and when was the collection of books and knowledge in the Louvre Library used by the French kings for cultural or political operations? 1demonstrate in a historical perspective how, in addition to a bibliophile aspect, the library made a political contribution to the development of the "religion royale" and the legitimation of royalty. This dissertation challenges several theoretical and methodological approaches to capture the different dimensions of the Louvre Library. I try to contextualise the subject in different fields of research in order to infer some general information on the use of books. 1focus on the virtually existing medieval library in order to contextualise and historicise the function it had at the French court. Following a historical anthropological approach, I concentrate on the use of the book collection and the use of texts. In this project 1show that the Louvre Library, the use of the texts by the kings and the circulation of the books served to accumulate arguments in favour of the king's politics, strengthen the legitimisation of the dynasty and disseminate this content. The functional character of the Louvre Library fits into a larger politics of circulations, commands and acquisitions. These cultural and courtly processes strengthened the monarchic ideology and contributed to the construction of the image of a wise king
Deutsch, Kristina. "Jean Marot et l'estampe d'architecture au Grand Siècle : la représentation du palais du Louvre dans le "Grand Marot"." Paris, EPHE, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010EPHE4040.
Full textUntil now, the main interest of historians towards the work of the etcher of architecture Jean Marot (about 1619-1679), who represented many buildings of the Grand Siècle (the “great century”, as one calls the 17th century in France), was based on their value as sources for the history of the building in question. Our thesis parts from another point of view and asks about the method, the evolution, the form, the objectives and the reception of these images as part of the tradition of the representation of real architecture which becomes important during the Renaissance in Italy and reaches a climax with the Cabinet du Roi of Louis XIV. One of Jean Marot’s major works is the anthologie called the “Grand Marot” (small folio, probably 1686), which renews with the tradition of collections of prints showing the most important buildings of the kingdom, founded by Jacques Androuet du Cerceau, author of the Plus excellents bâtiments de France (Paris, 1576/1579). As the latter, Marot consecrated a group of prints (etched with some engraved details) to the Louvre and the Tuileries in Paris, two initially separated palaces related according to the « grand dessein des rois », initiated by Henri IV as a major symbol of power of the king. The Louvre-etchings are appropriate for the examination of a concrete example and at the same time offer the possibility to learn more about of the evolution of the “Grand Marot”. Interpreting the drawings of architects, Marot often disposes only of a fragmentary documentation, which he combines and completes, always attempting to present his own inventions concerning architecture and decoration. Related to various objectives of self-promotion, dedication and representation of power, the work of Jean Marot gives evidence of a crucial moment, when the state undertook a growing control and organization of artistic production

Full textThis work is, throught the account books of Vatican Archives IE181, IE197, IE228 and IE227, a comparison of two building sites : the church des Bernardins de Paris started by Benoît XII (1338) and the Palais d'Avignon worked out by Clement VI (1344) and more precisely of the site management and its organisation. In Paris, Pons de Madières, "directeur des œuvres" was working in collaboration with Bernard Podéros, mason master who was acting as "maître d'œuvre". In Avignon, "l'œuvre Neuf" was first dependant on the administration of "Œuvres et édifices", then on Jean de Louvres autonomous "maître des œuvres". The management of this two building sites was the opportunity for rationalizing working methods using for example : calendar, time table, recovery of holidays, regular work. The rationalization spirit was also found in the contractors' programs and recognized by contemporaneous writers (Jean Dupin, Pétrarque, biographers) who appared to be very attracted by the useful purpose of these tools

Full textProjected for national and municipal museums of modern art on the occasion of the 1937 world fair, the Palais de Tokyo in Paris today is an international centre of contemporary art, known, too, by virtue of relational aesthetics brought forward by its co-founder (with Jérôme Sans) Nicolas Bourriaud. A monographic study of its genesis up to the contemporary site was yet mis-sing. This study examines the thought and projects that occupied it, based on central exhibitions and vast materials from the archives of cultural politics and arts administration: National Muse-um of Modern Art (1937-1977), the conception of the Centre Pompidou, Musée d’Art et d’Essai (1977-1986), Institut des Hautes Études en Arts Plastiques (IHEAP, 1988-1990), préfiguration d’Orsay, Maison de la Photographie (1984-1993), a project for Palais des Images/Palais du Ci-néma (1984-1998, with Cinémathèque, FÉMIS, BIFI), Site de création contemporaine (2002-). The study also focuses on its role as monument of the thinking of art’s function in society, from the context of an international exchange on modern museums in the thirties, up to contemporary debates of political aesthetics, particularly of relational art, the discourse of participatory art, ‘New Institutionalism’ and philosophical aesthetics. The study also provides a global view on the genesis of relational aesthetics and its principal critiques. Thus, the Palais de Tokyo is consi-dered as monument, a space of social memory of art following Aby Warburg and a theoretical frame based on Walter Benjamin, informing on its crucial role in the development of formal criteria of theories of art’s social role in the 20th and 21st centuries
Alkenzawi, Adil. "L'architecture comme origine, destination et support d'inscription pour la peinture et la sculpture : le Double Plateau de Buren au Palais-Royal." Paris 8, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PA083040.
Full textThe thesis investigated Buren's criticisms and creative work and inscribed them in an original problem area, that of the origin of the work of art and its insertion in the world, through which (1) the epochal transformation of the common sensitivity by the aesthetic of the moderns "appliances", their supports and modes of diffusion (the de-humanisation and the mechanization of the work of art and the poetic of its reproducibility / convertibility), (2) the conditions of possibility of being and signifying of the work of art comprehended as accomplishment of the world it denies, (3) the modes of artistic existence of Buren's painting and sculpture, their "epochality" and "temporality", (4) the interference of the relations between doctrines and creative works, …were revealed. The specificity of Buren : (I) the consideration of architecture as origin, destination and support of inscription for painting and sculpture, with the negation of the work of art and its origin as objective and the modernity as cause, (II) the invention of colored stripes in 1965 and its transformation in a "appliance-work of art", with its double critique and creative aspect. Its universalization has enabled Buren the multiplication of inscription supports, passing from the canvas to the public spaces as two supports of inscription of the dream, and the inauguration of a specific temporality characterized by three sequences expressing the evolution in Buren's global work : (1) savage (illegal), (2) ephemeral, (3) monument; as his Double platform of columns in the Royal Palace can express. The uniqueness of this artefact is issue from (1) the convertibility play which creates the becoming of the sculpture in a specific relation to architecture : "architecturalism", (2) the invention of a contemporary equivalent of an ancient support of "urban writing" : the "platform" (substitution), (3) the extension of a continued and unachieved urban project and the cancellation of a memory of the Royal-Palace as a monument, (4) the support of the work of art as form, (5) the work of art as "exploded totality" and "environment", (6) an upheaval of the conditions of the production and reception of the works of art (de-essentialization), (7) deconstruction of the Museum

Full textThe musical life of the Sainte Chapelle in Paris during the 16th and 17th centuries has not been reassessed since the work of Michel Brenet (1910). The exploitation of sources, development of liturgical studies and advances in musicological research allow for a renewal of our understanding of this church and its music. By founding the Palace chapel, Louis IX established the clergy of the Sainte Chapelle. While monarchy and court abandon this church for the chapel royal, Francis I establishes a correlation between the musical and ecclesiastical staff of the Sainte Chapelle. This interdependence, maintained by the Chapter, results under Louis XIV in an assembly constituted of a majority of musicians. This thesis, based on the systematic study of primary sources, focuses on the clergy and musical activity. A particularity of the Sainte Chapelle is thus revealed: the interdependence of ecclesiastical status and appointment as a musician

Full textThis thesis presents an investigation on the history of temporary art exhibitions at the Galeries nationales du Grand Palais (GNGP) between 1966 and 2005. The analysis of the historical, political and socialistic background and the international artistic policy of France show that the government has played a central role in the development of art exhibitions at the GNGP : the government has encouraged and institutionalized art exhibitions as one of its cultural policy. These exhibitions were mostly planned by three public institutions; Réunion des Musées Nationaux (RMN), Association française d’Action artistique, and the institution for contemporary arts. Each exhibition named as a major representation has been taken place for the commemoration and the presentation of friendly diplomatic relations with foreign countries. Some exhibitions announced academic achievements in art history and outcomes of museum and cultural heritage policies. The enhancement policy of the cultural exchange with foreign museums has led to the internationalization of artexhibitions, and the development of the RMN specialized for the planning of international art exhibitions. This policyalso contributes to the art history research development through the academic collaboration with foreign museums. These grand exhibitions that took place at the GNGP have contributed to make the GNGP as a major cultural institution in the centre of capital city, comparable to other main museums of Paris. This works also discusses the introduction of management for running exhibitions at the GNGP. First, this management included the systematic care and presentationof collections, then the funding of exhibitions and even more the reception of visitors. Moreover, during these years, there has arisen a professionalization of jobs related to art exhibition planning and operation. This thesis presents the development of grand art exhibitions organised in the frame of the public administrations, public audiences for fine arts exhibition, and also allows the understanding of the development of the temporary museum exhibitions held in thesecond half of the twentieth century

Full textThis work’s cornerstone is a biographic dictionary: thirteen hundred resumes of musicians attached to both Paris’ and Bourges’ Saintes-Chapelles, from their foundation (1248 for the former, and 1405 for the latter) to the middle of the XVIIth century. This is the first prosopographic study, related to a population of musicians. Paris and Bourges’ Saintes- Chapelles, the second one founded upon the Parisian model, are institutions, dedicated to the cult of the relics gathered by Louis IX and his followers, and dedicated to music. Those institutions of modest size (about forty persons) nevertheless hosted a lot of musicians (about thirty). This research is done through four principal angles: the staff’s status, their service dates, their personal musical skills and the relationships between Saintes-Chapelles and private princely chapels. Concerning the last two points, thirty composers have served in the Sainte-Chapelle of Bourges and forty-four in Paris, respectively 5% and 7% of the total amount of singers hosted by them at one time or another. Furthermore from the singers point of view, 12% of the singers of the Sainte-Chapelle of Bourges and 23% of the singers of Paris are documented in a princely chapel, mainly the Royal Chapel. From the point of view of princes and sovereigns, the formers have recruited a lot from the Saintes-Chapelles for their own chapels. Some chapel accounts may mention large proportions of singers, more than 30%, documented in the Saintes-Chapelles of Bourges and Paris, at different times. We have thus proved the skills of the musicians of both Saintes-Chapelles, mainly the Sainte-Chapelle of Paris

Full textThe Presidency of the French Fourth Republic reveals the balance of the institutions as well as the political tensions of this period. This aspect is too often neglected in the historiography. The first part of this work specifies the juridical frame of this institution and analyses the administrative working at the Elysée. It shows how through arbitrating politics the president obtains his political influence which is well beyond his legal powers. The second part studies in detail three main domains of the presidential action (his role during the ministerial crisis; the Presidency of the colonial assembly; the official journeys). The third part deals with the question of the presidential representation. The strategies of communication and the chosen symbolic are indeed two of the foundations of the head of state's authority. So the French president can personify the Republic itself and the whole nation

Full textAfter the French Revolution, the collections of the Garde-Meuble were divided into two parts : on one hand, all pieces of royal furniture that were not sold at auction, and on the other hand, many objects confiscated from convicts and émigrés. By ascending the throne, Napoléon Ist used this endowment to furnish the palaces with all necessary ceremonial. This is considered as simply utility reuses of ancient furniture ; the same situation is to notice for the Restauration, although Louis XVIII and Charles X could have seen those collections as a familial heritage. When Louis-Philippe Ier came to power, the value of ancient furniture reuses evolved, due to a new interest in historic heritage. By creating historicist interiors in the palaces and by refurnishing historic appartements, the Garde-Meuble developed an acquisition policy on the art market to enrich its collections. This phenomenon was enhanced during the Second Empire, on the initiative of Empress Eugénie, a period that saw the first retrospective exhibitions, for instance the one hold at the Petit Trianon and dedicated to the Queen Marie-Antoinette in 1867. Last but not least, this study underlines the process of ̏ patrimonialization ̋ that characterized the fate of French royal furniture during the 19th-century, and led to its permanent exhibition in museums
