Face detection from Tenebrism paintings is of growing interest to art historians and researchers in order to estimate the illuminant location, and thereby answer several technical questions. Deep learning is gaining increasing interest due to is high performance capabilities. An optimization of Faster Region based Convolutional Neural Network has demonstrated its ability to effectively address challenges and deliver promising face detection results from Tenebrism paintings. However, deep neural networks are often characterized as "black box" because of the inherent complexity and non-linearity of their architectures. To tackle these issues, eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is becoming an active researcj area to understand deep models. So, we propose a novel iterative XAI method based on guided perturbations to explain model's application

Generally painters have been interested in the sense of the open window. They have often shown of windows opening from the outside. Accepting the window as a closure, it treat it in a way that goes against its habitual and traditional significance. Sinse 1980, the shut window has been the main theme of my work. For a long time, houses awaiting to be demolished have made up a daily part of cityscapes. I am fascinated by delapidated buildings, by their state of abandon, their blocked windows and condemned doors that are to be knocked down by awaiting buldozers. When the windows blinded by their misery representa loss of communication. When the window is hidden by material, when it is garnished with bars or blocked with bricks, the window does not disappear : it loses its function and becomes a mere object again, an element of resistance. Each of these windows is an obstacle and a limit. There is no beyond. The window therefore becomes a place of separation. The window "as an object of use" is transformed into an "object of emotion" provoking a sentimental and symbolic response. The representation of shut windows symbolises confinement, imprisonment, anxiety, mystery, anguish, sadness, misery, enclosure

Is the frame only a contingent parergon of the painted surface, and the painting on easel of the quattrocento the mere reflection of the rising power of the merchant class, or else, on the opposite, the opposite, the symbolical and metaphysical shape in which and through which painting, finally coming into being as a complete art, fulfils and unveils its true essence? What then is the nature of painting, the centrifugal and centripetal force that gives life and magnetizes all pictorial poiesis? Through an analysis of the laws of the development of painting, from the tombs of ancien aegypt to the roman-aegyptian portraits from fayoum, this first volume will show that painting is the most adequatte art to express the feeling of spiritual individuality. Colouring will always undermine the rules of the arts that try to jugulate it, announce political upheavals or new visions of the world, as if magnetized by the paradigmatic shape of the painting that will come to life during the peloponnesian war, which exacerbates the individualism praised by the sophists, through the brushes of the greek painters of the second half of the fifth century before christ. Plato, who thinks of painting in terms of the philosophy of protagoras, is the first to see in it the katoptron of individuality, and therefore bans from the city both Doxocalos painter and sophist Doxomimetos. What then does the painter paint? What visions from painter, model and spectator are here patiently interwoven? Therefore shouldn't one see in the portrait, or, more precisely, in self portrait, the core of painting and in the narcissus in pompei and in ovide the telos of all ancient painting?

The gap between Malvasia's Felsina pittrice (1678) and Zanotti's Storia dell'accademia Clementina reveals the evolution from an artistic center, where different personalities coexisted, to a single, unified school. The image and the painting, much appreciated by scholars and diffused by dealers, are substituted by an object of new value, the picture itself, gathered massively by aristocracy. The ideal of a collection, now a symbol of nobility, takes form in historical and Bolognese paintings. The XVIII c. Gallery sees the triumph of the school over the art of painting, and of the picture itself over the artist. There is a new erwastungs horizon that substitutes the demand for a same text and a same rhetoric to an extensive view. Noble patrons control the art world in 1730s, but, by the end of the century, the aristocracy adopts a European artistic pantheon and forms its collections having the idea of museum in mind. A detailed study of Franceschini's career, on the basis of his account book, inventory and biographies shows that honor, bon gout and virtue dominate the Bolognese artistic creation of the first half of the XVIII c. This production is now territorialized, its clients almost exclusively aristocrats, organized in networks that explained the importance of artistic conventions. All these conditions were unknown to Reni and Guercino. The law of the contract and the conformity of the product, the universal criteria for bon gout and the foundation of an academy, that sets the rules of the market, are the principal features of this homogenization of different manners
Péruisset-Fache, Nicole. "Le titre de tableau." Rouen, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1995ROUEL212.
A label given to the work of art, the title of a painting is governed by the rules of a language sub-code. Yet, this semiotic system is articulated to a picture system, both systems functioning within the consumer society. They therefore concur to build a discourse strategy aiming at establishing the social legitimacy of the artist and his her "superdifference"
Venturi, Riccardo. "Mark Rothko et la question du tableau moderniste." Thesis, Paris 10, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA100198.
Mark Rothko and the question of modernist painting is a critical reassessment of American painter Mark Rothko’s (1903-1970) written and pictorial output, in the historical and theoretical framework of Modernism. The material is composed of three main parts which correspond to a different aspect of painting: the window-painting, or the constitution of the canvas as object and pictorial surface; the membrane-painting, or the easel canvas as the modernist predominant medium ; the screen-painting, or painting beyond modernist easel canvas. The first part entails the way painting has been conceived during the Renaissance, as a surface regulated by perspective in accord to the albertian model of a window open onto the world. The second part corresponds to the affirmation of painting and of the easel canvas as an autonomous medium in the modernist theory of 1940s and 1950s. The third part is a critical evaluation of Greenberg’s modernism as a model to understand Rothko’s work and a consideration of the cinematographic experience – which Rothko elaborated in his early works as well as in his panting in series – as a device specific to the aesthetic of modernism and of mass culture

If the age-old practice of painting has been supplanted by a large number of contemporary approaches tomaking art, certain artists are still primarily painters who make work about painting. This raises the question ofits relevance. In France in the early 1980s, abstract pictorial practices were left aside in favor of both a new kindof painting open to international influences, and an art that ultimately abandoned painting altogether. This is stillthe case today, although there has been a renewed interest in painting in recent years. This has to do, firstly, withthe structural force inherent to painting and the construction of pictorial space. Secondly, it has to do withsociocultural phenomena outside the realm of contemporary art : photography, film and television, and morerecently the widespread use of digital screens, have lead to the creation of new pictorial spaces. Painting still hasa promising future as a means of questioning the subject’s relationship to the image ; the shifting boundaries ofthe painted picture (the tableau) enrich and enlarge time-space frameworks, which, a priori, have nothing to dowith painting as an archaic practice. This thesis, therefore, attempts to understand how and why some individualstoday, especially in France, continue to paint, to make objects and images in their studios, in the traditional senseof the term

In the first and second partys, we have analysed two pictures : i) "gray alphabets" (jasper john's) ii) "painting 1946" (francis bacon's) thises two pictures are connected with all the history of western painting which is in question of the notion of symmetry : square pattern, perspective central, squaring a plan (for enlargement), triptych, diptych, series, form closed and open, symmetry spatial, sonorous, dynamic. . . Etc. We have introduced particularly in the third party the problematices : the connection and the development of the notion of symmetry, of proportion and of rhythm in the art ( : to put symmetry, symmetry complexe, multi-symmetry)

Gailleurd, Céline. "Survivances de la peinture du XIXe siècle dans le cinéma italien des années 1910 : la peinture aux origines du cinéma ?" Thesis, Aix-Marseille 1, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011AIX10227.
This study centers around Italian cinema and proposes to describe the prolific and complex connections that developed between 19th century painting (European and mostly Italian) and the Italian films from 1905 (La Presa di Roma, Alberini) to 1920 (La Serpe, Roberti). From the historical inspiration to the dive melodramas, from the enthusiastic portrayal of History to the lyricism of passionate love, a pictorial effect haunts these cinematographic images in which can be found « the seed of a possible painting » (Eric Rohmer). Therefore, one needs to reflect on what cinema and painting share, following the iconographical study of figurative (gestures, postures, scenery, props) and formal elements (composition, frame, field size, editing) that lead to the question of the styles that the cinema prolongs and alters : neoclassicism, academism, orientalism, pre-Raphaelitism, symbolism, Art Nouveau. These aesthetic ideas allow for a convergence between the history of art and the history of cinema, which opens the question of the images' survival. At a time when 19th century figurative painting was being replaced by abstract art, it persisted and survived in cinema. In return, Italian cinema of the 1910s drew part of its vitality from pictorial material that already belonged to the past.Thus, this research brings to light a series of questions that allow for both a revisitation of a rarely studied period of the history of Italian cinema and more generally to reflect upon the relationship between cinema and other artforms
Ota, Miki. "Cycles ou série de tableaux à sujets profanes en France : (1730-1774)." Thesis, Paris 1, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA010656.
Cycles and series of secular subjects, painted between 1730 and 1774, reveal an evolution of the ideal of painting and the reality of its practice, led by a popularization of the mode of reception of Fine Arts. Despite some prejudices that consider the painting of this period as simply decorative, artists, who are conscious of their liberty of creation, granted by an extension of the public, produce carefully iconographic and stylistic programs which show their peculiar talents. Painted ensembles, made for specific interiors, reflect complicated circumstances of patron’s intentions, painter’s ambition and reactions of the public. History painting, of which prestige is never doubted, is open to free interpretation under the influence of others genres. Diversification of the public of the Salon and development of art criticism bring an opposition between amateurs and critics. The Bâtiments du roi tries to encourage a competitive spirit by artists. Its reform, which aims at progress of Fine Arts, is not a simple return to the Antiquity or the seventeenth-century, but is the invention of the painting of Enlightenment by introducing social meanings, which convey the ideal of the encyclopedists. Difficulties, encountered by large ensembles of interior paintings of royal castles and of official mistresses’ residences, reveal a complexity of artistic creation, proper to this period of development of modern institutions and diversification of spaces in secular architecture. The ambition of Bâtiments to unify various tastes of public will be made into the Museum, making use of national sentiment
Ferrato-Combe, Brigitte. "Écriture et peinture chez Claude Simon : fonction de la description de tableau dans le roman." Paris 4, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992PA040133.
The meditation upon art is essential to Claude Simon's poetics as a novelist, for whom painting is a mirror of writing some of his novels, founded on commentaries about painting intimely linked with fiction, are akin to the literary genre of essay. Describing pictures seems to be a dominant stylistic feature of such a dialogue between genres. Claude Simon's novels renew some pictural "topoi" – the painter as a character, his workshop, museums or galleries of portraits, from which surge an imaginary world. Beyond the subject of these novels, pictures - by Uccello, Poussin, David, as well as by Renoir, Bacon, Rauschenberg generate fiction through descriptions. Further more, Claude Simon composes his works as a painter, since he uses the technique of sticking or challenges the dynamic composition of baroque polyptics. Painting is not only a metaphor or a model of writing, but its principale

A first authentic contact (vision, perception, reception) between the pictoral a-topical masterpiece (nonetheless displayed) and the admirer submitted to multiple self conditionings or exterior influences inherent to his person, is this not already utopic? where in fact is the liberty of the person who is contemplating, if the painting controls the admirer's attention, imposes visual circuits, attracts, seduces, fascinates, and dupes, being essentially illusionist or an eye-teaser? the intentions of the on-looker are being put into question, in as much as the position or the role of the spectator (painter or simoly meditator) if he is held at a distance and experiences a "nakedness" which brushes "past death"? is he spectre or actor?. . . From the canvased space to the computer screen, the masterpiece considered "open" will it allow him, the admirer, to slip through the interior windows of the visible in order to journey into the thickness of things?

Nicolas Régnier was born in Maubeuge around 1588. He did his apprenticeship in Antwerp and spent the rest of his life in Italy : at the Farnese Court in Parma, in Rome under the aegis of Manfredi and finally in Venice where he became known not only as a painter but also as an art dealer and a connoisseur. Today, Régnier remains relatively unknown in spite of Voss’s study in 1924 and of the more recent one by Fantelli in 1974. It is now possible, in the light of a new biography of Régnier and of the catalogue raisonné of his works, to reconsider his position in the Caravaggesque movement and his role as an innovator in 17th century Venetian painting. By the study of his commercial activities together with his important collection of old masters, scattered not long before his death (1667), we are now able to reinstate Régnier as a connoisseur and a great art dealer

How did Paris become the capital of large format artworks on a historical subject ? What were the motivations of a small circle of artists to produce oversized paintings ? Bounded between the modern era and the Third Republic, this thesis tells the story of these cumbersome works that French museums are now interested in presenting in a careful scenography after having them restored. Introduced in the Parisian artistic home by Charles Le Brun, the practice of large size easel painting finds, through the execution of theatrical genre high-warp tapestry cartoons (paint on large canvas), and the philosophy of sensualism, the essential resources to renew the narrative of a story in painting. During the Age of Enlightenment, large size paintings became objects of spectacle and the stage set of the scene copies the frame of these oversized paintings. David’s use of large format is particularly representative of a period in which the linearity of history is thwarted by the gradual introduction of a new regime of historicity, the repercussions of which are significantly felt in the way a story is interpreted, but also in the way in which the public and the painter’s career are approached. During the 19th century, the gigantic easel paintings were still essential components of the public sphere now extended to museums, including that of Amiens, expressly built to accommodate them. Correlating to the exhibition artist’s strategies, the large movable painting is a stimulating and demanding device from which an artist can claim to embody the figure of the genius. In general, it makes it possible to consider new pictorial concepts, to elaborate new truths, to historicize events and many other things that the reader will discover during this study

Concerned about the conservation of their art collections, in the years between 1789 and 1870, Parisian amateurs called upon the services of painting restorers, who, at that time, belonged to a profession considered quite separate from that of art dealer, expert or even painter. While the restorer worked on paintings belonging to private collectors, he also acted as a guide for the latter, broadening their knowledge of Ŕ or even teaching them about Ŕ pictorial techniques. This understanding of the materiality of artworks gradually contributed to collectors being invited into museum committees as advisors, before they acquired a privileged status in museums, from the 1860s onwards, by bequeathing their collections

Focused on one painting by Paolo Veronese (1528-1588), the Bathsheba bathing (Lyon, musée des Beaux Arts), this thesis' ambition is to question a pillar of art history whose stakes are multiple. Whereas the methodological angle envisions the complex topic of the painting as a condensation (i. E Bathsheba bathing and Susanna and the Eiders), this scope is only acceptable while elaborating the reconstruction of traditional analysis once quoted by Daniel Arasse in his "analytical iconography". The addition of biblical commentary, iconography and in depth study of venetian painting, as well as social practice make these two themes converge and the thesis validates their "fusion" into the same image. A local study of the archives of the state of Venice has been undertaken and the result throws light on the origin of the commission through clearing the identity of the commissioners thanks to their blazon, a stamp which is the sign of the alliance of two families Badoer and Soranzo

Artemisia Gentileschi is one of those women artists who nearly disappeared from art history. It is the sex-gender system subTending the field that is responsible for this near disappearance, not a change in taste or a destruction of the archives. The canon, being part and parcel of the phallocentric system, systematically puts aside women artists. Gentileschi's case is typical and is representative of the fate that befell all other women artists in the 19th and 20th centuries. The world will have to wait until the second half of the 20th for art historians -especially feminist ones- to rediscover women artists. Two works representing Judith and Holofernes, which played a pivotal role in understanding this artist, are paradigmatic because they evoked extreme reactions, ranging from admiration to rejection. Gentileschi handled this baroque theme -the decapitation of a wan by a woman- in a paroxysmal manner. These works are the locii where a reflection on the critical corpus and the place of the female spectator meet. And what if shadow, which plays such a great role in Gentileschi's works, were a metaphor for women? Analyse de discours, psychoanalysis and image semiotics form the theoretical basis of this thesis which calls for a profound modification of the canon
Darriulat, Jacques. "Qu'est-ce qu'un tableau? : essai sur la formation des images en Europe depuis Giotto." Paris 1, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990PA010560.
The iconological analysis of Arnolfini's wedding, by Jan Van Eyck, reveals the three constitutent dimensions of painting : "spectacular", "haullucinar" and "oneiric". Spectacular order comments the foundation : Giotto invents a new space of absolute clearnes - the "majesty"- in which obviousness is necessary truth, an aesthetical perspective whose meaning is panoramic amplitude more than geometrical construction. From mosaic through leaded glass window unto @painting, we can enumerate the degrees of this aperture. Hallucinar order turns upside down and darken this brightness. The conjurer, by H. Bosch, gives us a model : here, the glance is falling into a side trap. The glory of majestic gives up its seat to grotesque figures which come from periphery and invade center. The hallucinar opposition becomes quieter when figures of condensa- tion are appearing : diana the nymph and christopher the ferryman. Then, the infinite development of oneiric time may be opened out. The first anatomy lesson, by Rembrandt, begins this third movement. The sparkle of the hallucinar glance vanishes and the painting becomes the mirror of time. Thus, imaginary cohesions take shape and lead the erudite research : a medievel legend renews the interpretation of the conjurer, by H. Bosch, and confirms its adherence to the hallucinar order. Finally, we way set down the rules of our method : from the point of the aesthetic encounter, the meaning of the images is growing up. It is, first, the fixation of the signal; then, the ambivalence of the symbol; and, at last
Coavoux, Samuel. "Sociologie de l'expérience esthétique. Contextes et dispositions dans les réceptions muséales d'un tableau de maître." Thesis, Lyon, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016LYSEN009.
Drawing on an ethnographic study of the receptions of a Nicolas Poussin's painting curated at the Fine Arts Museum in Lyon, France, this dissertation analyses the position of museum visiting in the leisure repertoire of the middle and upper-middle classes. Three main data sources are used: about 50 days of observation of the activities of museum visitors, 45 reception interviews carried out inside the museum, and 18 biographical interviews on visiting habits with occasionnal or regular museum visitors. The dissertation sheds light on the central role of the artwork's status in their orientation and the distribution of their attention. This practical use of cultural legitimacy leads to a paradox: the painting is considered a masterpiece, but it has little aesthetic appeal. A lexicometric analysis of a corpus of newspapers articles confirms that this perspective may be extended to professional audiences, such as journalists. The unease this contradiction provokes in the audience is a reminder of the centrality of statutory artistic skill. The dissertation then analyses how mediation devices are used to fill this gap. The disconnection between the use of devices and the contemplation of the painting might be interpreted as the sign of how important the authorized, institutional discourse on the artwork is for visitors with low to average levels of specific resources. Finally, an analysis of visitors' biographies demonstrates that a normative injunction to visit greatly weights in visitors' practices, but that visits mostly occurs when they are embedded into leisure routines

The present research work focuses on the painted portrait and the opportunity it offers to meet people and exchange moments of friendship. It aims at analyzing what is at stakes in this process by means of theoretical tools such as psychology and psychoanalysis. It is also concerned with the understanding of how this «hand to hand» and «presence to presence» practice gets its anchorage in time and how it unfolds it and refers to it. The get together process, as well as my own practice, are the expression of desire – desire of the Other. Each of my paintings is an attempt to answer this single question: «How would the person posing for me like to be painted?». Then, as if guided by his or her wish, my brushes enter into action in order to fulfill it to the best of my abilities – the task is of course impossible, because language implies a loss and gets us apart from one another. Each of us sees oneself as unique, for we are separated from each other: we are indeed surrounded by emptiness. The Other and emptiness don’t belong to the outside, they are part of ourselves. In the field of psychoanalysis, we manage to find our unity through imagination. Psychoanalysis, meditation, alchemy and painting have all in common to be based on practice. Each of these disciplines deals with insight in its own way: in the end they all benefit from each other

By integrating painting in his writing, Proust offers a visible equivalent of writing. The paintings bring out of the book some visible images and put them within the eyes of the reader. Through painting, writing goes beyond the ‘scope’ of words and absorbs a visual existence. Instead of saying what he “sees”, Proust prefers showing what he says.The pictorial art is here the starting point to the imagination liberation movement. Writing learns from the paintings the energy to conquer a new form, and painting can access to a vivid mobility through writing. It is precisely in these reciprocal animations between arts that Proust intends to stablish the relationship literature-painting: when the text-picture ceases to be seen, writing re-introduces it into the movement and restores its complexity.The considerations discussed during this research aim to investigate how the relationship between literature and painting is based on a verbal creation and how these arts deliver a mental image that takes the form of a painting. In this study, we seek to concentrate on various aspects of ‘staging’ of the literary image, and to investigate dialectical process of different, figurative and painting-producing effects

In France, during the first half of the eighteenth century, the role played by art dealers in the formation of the greatest collections of painting (the Regent, Pierre Crozat, Countess de Verrue, prince of Carignano) remains an obscure matter. The discovery of the account book of an art dealer and of many other archival documents enables us to reconstitute some of the most important transactions of the art market. At the end of the reign of Louis XIV, jewelers like Le Tessier de Montarsis negotiated for the Regent and Pierre Crozat a series of fundamental works art (by Raphaël, Veronese, Poussin), while some "maîtres-peintres" like André Tramblin and Pierre Testard started playing a growing role in the exchanges. After 1720, dealers who came from the Netherlands and who had established themselves in Paris, especially Joseph-Ferdinand Godefroid, were now advising the most famous collectors. Renowned for their gifts as restorers, Flemish dealers promoted Northern genre scenes while the "classical taste" (Poussin, Titian, Tintoretto) fell into some kind of disgrace. The phenomenon can be seen when the collection of La Chataigneraye was auctioned (1733) and when some forty pictures were acquired to enrich the collection of Louis XIV (1742). The auction catalogue was now gradually spreading out and it is through this commercial tool that a mercier like Gersaint tried to develop his business. After 1740, german sovereigns turned more and more to the parisian art market, especially kings Augustus III and Frederic II. In 1756, the beginning of the war of the Seven Years was to put an end to this more european period of the markert of art

Studying the registration of the portrait-painting in A la recherche du temps perdu means wondering about the ways of its insertion in a romantic discourse as well as the ways of its writing, and this going from statements which suggest an ekphrasis, reconsidered in the light of a real painting and art criticism. A contamination of the system of representing La Recherche ensues, so that the scriptural portraits can be read as pictorial paintings. Eventually it appears that Proust assigns different functions to these two categories of portraits : by « painting » his characters, he makes living portraits of them for certainly esthetic reasons, but to the actual esthetic object, Proust attributes another function, which is to « signify ». At the different levels of senses and interpretation of La Recherche , the descriptions of painted portraits appear then as real hermeneutic cores assuming multiple functions in the general economy of the work

The institution of officiai experts asked to guarantee the authenticity of pictures before their acquisition follows the opening of the Louvre.

These appreciators participate finally in the inventory of the museum under the Empire. then again after the allied restitutions, in spire of the criticisms which do not miss ta rise against the fanciful estimations or the risky attributions. During decade 1840-1850, the administration of the commissioners-experts ends for the benefit of the curators who supplant them within the establishment. Henceforth the field of the expertise to the museum falls in the exclusive hands of the curators. ln England, two art dealers participate, each in their way. in the implementation of the first museum of national art, before this slandered profession is definitively excluded from the management of the public museums

Conservation or restoration of many ancient wooden artefacts such as panel paintings is made difficult. In addition by issues linked to wood ageing, but also by the delicate situations originaling from asymmetrical moisture transfer phenomena through surface layer and wooden substrate. Conservators have tried to eradicate panels curvatures by moistening and flattening by pressure ; or simply in term of restoration act, by panel thinning followed by gluing on a rigid support. Between fortunate handling and absence of environmental control, some paint layers flaked material was partially lost, cracks opened. Indeed, the artefacts from cultural heritage that we handle are the witness of ancient times and practices, and may provide keys to the understanding of long-term behaviour of wooden structures. First, we have focused on the basic understanding of wood aging, we have made hygro-thermal treatment at 120degree C for several humidities and at 50degree C by hydric cycles on poplar samples (Populus alba). We underlined physical and chemical process and the reversible effect of heat-treated wood. Then we studied the behaviour of a painted panel part, and the relation between wood and preparatory layer. Our work shows clearly that the hygromechanical behaviour of the preparatory layer is very dependent on its composition, and that it is important to know precisely the layer composition before being able to analyse the global behavior of a panel painting. Finally, our work concerned experimental and numerical study of hygromechanical behaviour of a wooden panel, based on continuous mass weighting and measurement of strain by stereo-correlation during hygrothermal fluctuations of the environment. We decoupled experimentally the different components occurring in hygromechanics of panel painting, and we worked to set up a numerical tool allowing the simulation of observed phenomena. This thesis presents, on a fundamental point of view, the wooden panel behavior under climatic fluctuations, linking with cultural conservator actors (such as curators, conservators, scientists from cultural heritage dots) in order to develop tools to decision help
Migdal, Anna. "Regina Cœli : les images de la Vierge et le culte des reliques : tableaux-reliquaires polonais à l’époque médiévale." Thesis, Lyon 2, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010LYO20045/document.
Scholarly investigation of devotional images from the medieval period has never explored, in a European context, the question of Marian paintings functioning as portable relics. The model of the « picture-reliquary » : a single, diptych, or triptych panel comprsing the por-trait of the Virgin and Child painted on wood (or, more rarely, on gilded glass, verre églomisé) set in a large framework encrusted with relics (occasionally with precious stones) was particularly widespread in the territory of Little Poland from c. 1420. Polish reliquaries, known until the beginning of the 16th century, should be considered as an adaptation of iconic types and forms of Byzantine provenance, which were reinterpreted in the painting of the Italian Trecento. Of particular note is the Siennese model of the portable Marian altar piece made popular from the 1330s-40s. From the comparative study of the works, concerning their similarities and their antiquity, one envisages the advent of such a formal concept in Poland either directly from Italy, or by the intermediary of Bohemia.The diffusion of picture-reliquaries, typical of Tuscan art, forms part of the general movement toward a renewal of piety in central Europe in the 15th century, the devotio moderna. As a result, alongside singular representations, especially venerated in the course of liturgical or paraliturgical offices, one sees less costly reliquaries spread in private space. Appreciated in the intimate setting of convents – Franciscan and Dominican – as well as that of the daily life of the laity, these relics were used as domestic altars or as folding altars for travel. These images of religious affection constitute an artistic phenomenon of the late Middle Ages. And, several similar reliquaries known later do not guarantee a veritable continuity of the ancient model to the modern era
Die erhaltenen Überblicksdarstellungen und Spezialuntersuchungen zu den Frömmigkeitsbildern des Mittelalters haben sich niemals – im europäischen Kontext – mit der Frage derjenigen Mariendarstellungen auseinandergesetzt, die die Funktion von Tragereliquien inne hatten. Das Modell des Reliquien-Bildes – einfaches Tafel-bild, Diptychon oder Triptychon mit einer Darstellung der Jungfrau mit dem Kind, gemalt auf Holz (seltener auf Glas), umschlossen von einem breiten Rahmen, in den Reliquien (mitunter auch Edelsteine) eingefügt sind – verbreitet sich ca. ab 1420 ins-besondere auf dem Gebiet Kleinpolens. Diese polnischen Reliquiare, bekannt bis zum Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts, können ohne Zweifel als Adaptation ikonischer und formaler Typen byzantinischer Provenienz angesehen werden, die in der Malerei des italienischen Trecento wiederinterpretiert wurden. Dabei handelt es sich vor allem um das Sieneser Model des marianischen Tragaltars, verbreitet seit den Jahren 1330-1340. Folgt man den vergleichenden Untersuchungen der erhaltenen Stücke mit Blick auf ihre übereinstimmenden Charakteristika und ihr Alter, wird das Auf-greifen eines solchen formalen Konzepts in Polen entweder direkt aus Italien oder indirekt über Böhmen wahrscheinlich.Die Ausbreitung dieser Tafel-Reliquiare, typisch für die toskanische Kunst, verbindet sich im 15. Jahrhundert in Mitteleuropa mit der umfassenden Bewegung einer Er-neuerung der Frömmigkeit, bekannt auch unter dem Namen devotio moderna. Dies führt dazu, daß neben einzelnen, vor allem im Rahmen liturgischer oder paraliturgi-scher Veranstaltungen verehrten Darstellungen, zunehmend weniger kostspielige Reliquiare auch in den privaten Raum vordringen. Gehütet sowohl in der Intimität der Klöster – franziskanisch und dominikanisch – als auch im täglichen Lebensraum der Laien, wurden sie als Hausaltäre oder auch als zusammenklappbare Reisealtäre verwendet. Diese Darstellungen religiösen Affekts stellen ein künstlerisches Phäno-men des Spätmittelalters dar. Einige der ähnlichen, allerdings später entstandenen Reliquiare garantieren allerdings keine überzeugende Kontinuität vom alten Modell hin zur Neuzeit

Sans doute en raison de leur aspect descriptif, les tableaux conservés n'ont jamais été soumis à une analyse qui prenne en compte leur spécificité artistique, la plupart des chercheurs s'étant contentés jusqu'à présent d'examiner les spectacles dépeints dans une perspective historique. La thèse propose dès lors une étude qui non seulement repose sur une analyse des sources écrites et cherche à identifier les motifs représentés, mais aussi explore les composantes formelles, techniques et conventionnelles des peintures. Ceci afin, précisément, de mieux définir le rapport entre l’image donnée et la réalité des faits historiques. Car si les "Festivités" n'ont nullement valeur de reportage, leur raison d’être n’en a pas moins été de témoigner par le menu détail de certains événements. Et c’est très exactement la nature de ce témoignage, formulé avec les moyens propres à la peinture, qui est au cœur du questionnement.
La thèse se compose de deux parties. Dans la première partie, l'attention est portée sur la vie et la production de Denijs van Alsloot en général. Le peintre avait en effet été peu ou mal étudié jusqu’à présent. Or, de toute évidence, une meilleure connaissance de l’ensemble des activités artistiques de Van Alsloot permet d’aborder avec plus de justesse l’étude des "Festivités". Plusieurs éléments de la carrière de l'artiste furent en outre déterminants dans le choix d’Albert et Isabelle de faire appel à ses services pour la réalisation de la série.
La seconde partie se concentre sur l'examen des "Festivités". Le premier chapitre fait le point sur ce que les archives nous apprennent à propos de la commande et de l’historique des peintures originales comme des répliques et des variantes. Le second chapitre analyse la technique et le style de chacun des tableaux. Il vise également à reconstituer les étapes préparatoires dans la réalisation des peintures et à définir la nature des rapports entre les tableaux du point de vue de l’exécution. Une attention particulière est en outre portée à l'intervention comme sous-traitant du peintre Antoon Sallaert (1594-1650).
La signification politique des tableaux constitue le thème du troisième chapitre. Sont étudiés d'abord les circonstances historiques qui amenèrent Isabelle à participer au tir du Grand Serment et la cour à commander la série peinte des "Festivités". Le cadre d’origine des toiles est examiné ensuite, afin de mesurer l’influence potentielle de ce cadre sur la forme et le contenu des œuvres. Car si celles-ci contiennent une foule de renseignements valables sur les célébrations, il n’en demeure pas moins qu’il ne peut s’agir d’images objectives. Les "Festivités" servaient des intentions particulières qui ont amené les artistes à opérer des choix et à soumettre les scènes à des structures iconographiques signifiantes. C’est donc à déchiffrer et à interpréter la "rhétorique de l'image" que la thèse s'attache en dernier lieu.
En définitive, par la réévaluation d'un type particulier d'iconographie politique, l'auteure de la thèse espère contribuer aux travaux toujours plus nombreux sur le rôle de l'image dans l'élaboration du discours princier.

Judging paintings, assessing their quality and estimating their price is nowadays considered a specific expertise acquired by agents to whom auction houses, museums or collection owners turn. In Rome during the seventeenth century, different groups compete to appropriate this skill, especially in order to become advisers to great collectors. As a market of paintings gradually emerges and the circulation of works grows, knowing how to estimate their value becomes an essential ability. While price evaluation is traditionally the prerogative of painters, who value each other within their corporation, the emergence of new commercial criteria tends to undermine the profession's authority in terms of quality assessment. This research focuses on the development of this expertise, which is remarkably different from the painters' know-how and favors courtiers specialized in painting advice. Giulio Mancini theorized this skill in his treatise Considerazioni sulla pittura. By crossing this text and the transcription of some of his unpublished treatises, the thesis shows how this artistic judgment is integrated within a broader, shared courtesan culture. At the crossroads of history, art history and literature, this research proposes to analyze the historical process of formalization of artistic judgment, thus not only shedding new light on this practice, but also on the discourses that made it possible and the reconfiguration of the value criteria of works of art
Cendoya, Jessica. "Le Guernica : un tableau-monument en expositions. Support de réactivation et d’actualisation des mémoires de la Guerre Civile espagnole (1936-1939)." Thesis, Avignon, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018AVIG1192.
The research aims to define how the construction of regimes of artistic, memorial and historical values of Guernica - a work of art made by Pablo Picasso in 1937 - participates in the patrimonial writing of the painting-monument, on the one hand, and becomes operative in the reactivation or updating of the memory of the events to which it refers, as part of the museum visit, on the other hand. Three levels of research have been thought out. The first was to circumscribe the Guernica object as an art object by placing a base of analysis of the object detached from any context, and this, in order to better understand those by which it exists as a cultural object signified in temporal and geographical contexts. In a second step, the analysis of the different exposures of Guernica made it possible to grasp the different values of use which were attributed to him and this to understand how it was constructed as a patrimonial object. Finally, in a third step, in the light of a detailed analysis of the exhibition of Guernica at MNCARS in 2009 and 2013, 60 interviews conducted according to a qualitative methodology after the visit were analyzed in order to understand the use values that mobilize the spaniards at the reception and for what reasons. The interest of the investigation is to have revealed that there was a range of memories and apprehensions related to the Guernica object. The surveys were analyzed under the prism of political sensitivity (Republicans and Nationalists), but especially under that of the generational prism, and for which four generations are identified. The results of analysis by generations, allow to distinguish two types of report to Guernica: reactivation and actualization. The notions of reactivation and actualization (Georgescu-Paquin, 2013) are part of a logic of rupture-continuity, which is necessary for any heritage-making process (Davallon, 2006). In this case of study, the MNCARS proposes a framework on a side of the history which, if not soothing the tensions, revives them for some (Nationalists); while others, find themselves in a process started recently (Republicans), following the so-called law of "historical memory" (2007). On the other hand, the new generations present a calm and distanced glance which allows them to make operative the patrimonial writing of Guernica
Kuperman, Ruth. "Le tournant du contemporain : les années 1950 et l'art." Paris, EHESS, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007EHES0114.
This study focuses on a group of transformations which affected the picture plane during the 1950s. Set out by the introduction of all kind of materials in the space traditionally reserved for painting, these transformations of wide impact claim to be situated as origin for the burst of new artistic manifestations in the 1960s. The analysis of these mutations - whose essential factors could be found in the work of the American artist Robert Rauschenberg - led us to a réévaluation of aesthetic categories from a contemporary point of view, which provided new instruments for the understanding of the work of art. The necessary historical account brought us back to the consolidation of the picture plane as an autonomous space for artistic expression and as a device for the image system, improved since Renaissance, which would be dismissed by the contemporary combine-painting through a radical shift in its relation to reality and to subjectivity
Nieddu, Luisa. "Retables peints en Corse aux XVe et XVIe." Thesis, Corte, 2022. http://www.theses.fr/2022CORT0003.
The research project carried out here is the result of a territorial census connected with an action of identification and recognition of the movable heritage of the XV-XVI century in Corsica, which I commenced on behalf of the Directorate of the Heritage of the Collectivité de Corse, back in 2004. This discussion therefore presents for the first time an analytical inventory of the wooden altarpieces of the chronological phase in question, in which, on the basis of formal and stylistic values, the pictorial evidences are linked to their possible cultural matrices of reference. In 1453 the Republic of Genoa transferred the island to the powerful institute of the Bank of Saint George, which possessed it at least until 1562. However, the island, Genoese from a political-administrative point of view, was not Genoese from a cultural-figurative one. In general, it would seem that the local artists refashioned in a reductive and basically modest way the styles of the masters working in the North Western Italian area (from Liguria to the Oltregiogo, to the Po Valley, and to Nice region), creating their own language, so much reworked in its simplification to make hardly recognizable any figurative matrices of the mainland. However, thanks to the commercial flows and the constant political relations with the Motherland, the island proved to be receptive to the impulses coming from the entire coastal arc of Liguria, in equal measure from the two shores of Ponente and Levante, as proved by the retable of Cassano, signed and dated by Antonio da Calvi in 1505. There was also a flow of up-to-date creations along the transalpine traffic routes into Corsica, such as the polyptych of the Assumption of Canari attributed to the mature phase of the Piedmontese Agostino Bombelli (1530 ca.). The sending of this work documents the spread in the territory of a "Palladian window" architectural scheme, with a triumphal arch, based on more modernized criteria, similar to the polyptychs of Moltifato and Tox. There are also cases that suggest adhesion to Lombard naturalism, and more specifically the Ligurian-Pavese one, such as the Madonna and Child of Piedicroce. The critical rediscovery of the figurative heritage of Corsica thus highlights how much this is the product of heterogeneous conjunctures, expressed by native masters who reworked multiple stylistic features according to their own means, so that perhaps we can finally speak of a "Corsican pictorial school"
Barbier, Christèle. "Le Soulier de satin et l’art moderne." Thesis, Paris 4, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA040191.
The Satin Slipper has been received alternately as a Dada work, a Baroque drama or a‘pièce à clé’, and studying both its first production and its reception allows one to graspbetter Claudel’s relationships with his days. In this work, Claudel adds up together theartistic legacy of his questioning the positivist society of his youth and gives thenarrative of his poetic vocation, which is rooted in the Baudelairean and Mallarméanthoughts on modernity. Claudel delivers his aesthetic manifesto through the primacy ofthe pictural paradigm and makes the reader establish a dialogue with the meaning of thetext, and all this makes him meet the concerns of the artists of his generation. Theplaywright’s originality lies in his resorting to the image to make his work into an exvoto that traces the itinerary of his conversion, as the Thomistic inspiration drives himto favour the image, in God’s plan at work in the play. Ultimately, the work discloses itscloseness to modern art through the use of devices and forms that are proper to modernart, such as collages and montages, or that were rediscovered by modernity, like theimprint or the planeness, that Claudel uses in a polysemous and dialectical way. As heincludes the questions of his poetic vocation, his conversion and the reception of hiswork by his contemporaries in the heart of the play, Claudel thrusts The Satin Slipperdeeply into the programme of modernity, original though it may be revealed

This dissertation treats the structure of Le Cornet à dés (1917), a collection of prose poems written by Max Jacob. Upon reading this collection, one notices that things and events referring to the different definitions of the word “tableau” are repeatedly employed : paintings, visual descriptions, window and door frames, elders (vieux tableaux), living pictures (tableaux vivants), theater scenes and also blackboards. This dissertation, divided into three chapters, starts by exploring how these homonyms are employed as paintings in the poems. In-between fixity and movement, the descriptions and the narrations bring literature closer to pictorial art. This contributes to the aesthetic of doubt found in Max Jacob’s written work. The second chapter analyzes different kinds of repetitions and the way they build links between the poems. By employing the theories of movement and repetition, this dissertation demonstrates how the various motifs, similarly to a pair of dice, form different combinations from one poem to another. Inspired by the cubist painters who simultaneously show all the angles of an object, Jacob thoroughly examines the word “tableau”. In the last chapter, it becomes evident that the juxtaposition of the poems gives access to additional significance: certain arbitrary elements, such as obscure titles, suddenly make sense. A reflection on the act of reading concludes this dissertation, since the numerous repetitions are stored in the reader’s memory. This work falls within the field of collection studies and mainly relies on poetry analysis.

During the 1500's,the villa was as a safe alternative to the city, offering to men the possibility to establish a relationship with nature. The villa was for writers, architects, and doctors a safe haven equipped with curative as well as sacred virtues that contributed to the happiness of mankind. While villas where multiplying in the Venetians countryside, they also began to be integrated in landscape paintings. Giovanni Bellini used nature to create the religious character of his works and to give a sense of well-being to his public. The bucolique landscape in which the religious figures gravited were presented with many symbols of the Virgin Mary and Child. The images of the Madonna, widely collected in Flanders and in Italy, stimulated the devotion of worshippers.

The painting by Jean-Baptiste Belin de Fontenay, Vase d’or, fleurs et buste de Louis XIV, is a reception piece of the french academician painter to the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture in 1687. Unfortunately having been little studied, this painting reveals three very interesting issues. First of all, it contain three kind of painting in one composition: still life, portrait and history painting, illustrated respectively by the flowers, the bust of Louis XIV and the piece of armor. The combination of these three types in a still life is uncommon in the 17th century French painting. It is therefore necessary to check if there is a link between the flowers, the picture of Louis XIV and the armor. Then, the contrast between the polychrome of the flowers and the monochrome of the sculpture and furniture is striking, it is possible to associate this contrast to the phenomenon of the debates between drawing and color of the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture during the second half of the 17th century. Moreover, the flowers, which were not the central subject in the original program of Le Brun, become the main subject of the table and occupy a more important place than the bust of Louis XIV. This change has not shocked the judges of the Academy since the painting was accepted without question. It therefore leads to think about the hierarchy of genres of painting, which was the official doctrine of the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture at the time. The core of this research is to see if the flowers occupy a mere decorative function, or whether they may be associated with symbols. Our research will verify the employ of floral symbols in French culture of the 17th century and then developed this employ not only in the political field, which means the flowers are in praise of Louis XIV, but also in the aesthetics domain, that is to say how the painting reflects by employing floral symbols the evolution of the theories of art in France during the second half of the 17th century, the hierarchy of genres of painting and the debates between drawing and color.
