In questo contesto vengono eretti complessi residenziali che accolgono i modelli architettonici italiani, mediati dall’esperienza dei cantieri reali francesi, e che si distinguono grazie alle finestre d’angolo inquadrate dagli ordini architettonici. Muovendo da alcuni paradigmatici esempi locali, la trattazione evidenzia nelle soluzioni angolari rilevanti tematiche quali la continuità con il sistema gotico, il pragmatismo spaziale tipico del primo Rinascimento francese, la deformazione prospettica fondata sui principi dell’anamorfosi, le leggi della stereotomia tanto care a Philibert De L’Orme. Nelle fabbriche francesi analizzate l’angolo può essere interpretato quale elemento cardine di tutta la composizione, capace di rappresentare la storia e le trasformazioni dell’edificio medesimo.

Durante la giornata di studi si indagherà la modalità in cui l'alterazione del messaggio è stata assunta come verità nella storia dell'arte, ripercorrendo l'iter del processo artistico e la conseguente creazione delle fake news.

The post-truth definition, coined in 2016 and admitted in the Oxford English Dictionary, offers a fitting description of how, by exploiting common discontent, a piece of news is perceived and accepted as true by the public, based exclusively on emotions and without a sound critical analysis.
The concept of fake news distorts the notions of truth and falsehood: it undermines users, including scholars, who are forced to investigate and sift with greater scientific acumen existing primary sources.
Over time historians of art and architecture have learnt to deal with ‘fake news' as historical and artistic assets have often been manipulated to communicate an altered truth.
Ingres’ painting François Ier reçoit les derniers soupirs de Leonardo de Vinci is a clear example of this practice. The painter depicts the King at Leonardo’s bedside - a well-crafted lie given that the painter died far from the royal court. This false historicized iconography, based on the inexact information reported by Vasari in his Lives, has now had the effect of spreading this common belief.
Ranging from antiquity to the contemporary age, the 2019 Doctoral Study Day intends to analyse the re-elaboration of historical data in the artistic process. This conference will cover the patron’s requests to the artist's work up to the reception by the public - as well as the methodology used by art and architecture historians to study such constructed and sometimes counterfeited truths.
We are accepting papers that engage with these topics, possible themes include but are not limited to:
-consciousness or non-awareness of fake news by users;
-manipulation and intentionality of the represented subject;
-concept of "false" from the past to the contemporary;
-self-certification and purposes;
-historical representation, between propaganda and preparation;
-terminology relating to counterfeiting;
-scientific investigation methodology.
We invite candidates to submit 15/20-minute papers that, by means of case studies or theoretical observations, point to the centre of this methodological practice. We accept proposals in English, Italian and French, papers may be delivered in the above-mentioned languages.
Proposals must be submitted in abstract form (up to 700 characters max.) together with a short CV (700 characters max.) by the 27th of March 2019 to the following email: rahn.giornatadottorale@gmail.com

L’objectif de la rencontre est de faire dialoguer des jeunes chercheurs de formations et de pays divers autour de la portée et de l’influence de ce phénomène dans des contextes différents de celui d’origine, et de partager leurs réflexions méthodologiques, les problématiques et les résultats de leurs recherches.
La journée est organisée par Camilla Ceccotti et Emanuele Gallotta, doctorants en cotutelle de l’Université Paris-Sorbonne (Centre André Chastel) et de l’Université de Rome « La Sapienza » (Dipartimento di Storia, Disegno e Restauro dell'Architettura), avec le soutien d’Antonella Fenech Kroke (chargée de recherche, CNRS) et de Thierry Laugée (Maître de conférences, Université Paris Sorbonne).

Nous en avons identifié les caractéristiques spécifiques dans le domaine de l’architecture en analysant notamment la typologie de bâtiment la plus diffusée dans le contexte urbain : celle de l’hôtel. Poitiers a connu une intense activité sur le plan architectural dès la fin du XVe siècle. Malgré cela, les études concernant le patrimoine bâti de la ville à l’époque de la Renaissance demeurent essentiellement peu développées comparativement à celles qui se penchent sur l’architecture du Moyen-Âge et du XVIIe siècle. La recherche que nous avons menée a tenté de combler cette « lacune » historiographique en analysant la production architectonique de la ville.Afin de comprendre les modalités de diffusion des modèles de la Renaissance italienne dans la région de Poitiers, nous avons examiné les principaux ensembles archite...

Par ses dimensions exceptionnelles, la qualité de son décor sculpté, les solutions constructives adoptées, l'édifice s'affirma comme le modèle pour le renouvellement du style architectural dans l'Ouest de la France dans les années 1510-1520. De ce complexe, malheureusement détruit au fil des siècles, aujourd'hui n'en survivent que de rares vestiges. Ainsi, la connaissance de cet extraordinaire château, précurseur de Chambord et comparable aux résidences de Blois, d'Azay-le-Rideau et de Chenonceau, doit surtout s'appuyer sur de nombreux témoignages écrits et iconographiques. Dans la troisième partie de la première édition du « Gargantua », François Rabelais, pour donner la mesure de la splendeur de son abbaye utopique de Thélème, affirmait qu'elle était « cent foys plus magnificque que n'est Bonnivet ». D'ailleurs, dans la création de ce complexe idéal, Rabelais s'inspira certainement à Bonnivet dont il adopta son élément le plus original, l'escalier-loggia ouvert sur deux côtés. En 1665 John Lauder exprimait également son admiration pour cet escalier, qu'il définit « magnifique » et « très curieusement fait ». L'escalier raffiné, que se retrouve en outre dans un croquis – le seul témoignage graphique du château qui nous est parvenu – contenu dans le carnet de voyage de Claude Perrault, qui fit étape à Bonnivet en 1669 sur la route pour Bordeaux. Également intéressantes, même si pleines de fantaisie, sont les vues représentant l'ensemble architectural : celles réalisées au XVIIe siècle par Chastillon et Lapointe, ou celles dessinées au XIXe siècle par Hivonnait, Honoré et Puissilieux-Drausin. Sur la base des témoignages textuels et iconographiques, faisant la distinction entre données réelles et fantaisies d'artiste, on veut présenter une première hypothèse de restitution du complexe architectural, afin de rouvrir le débat et de lancer des recherches nouvelles sur le « plus superbe édifice qui soit en France s'il était achevé » (Brantôme 1665-1666).
