Georges de La Tour: one hunderd years of light
Officiellement mis en lumière en 1915 par l’historien de l’art allemand Hermann Voss, le nom de Georges de La Tour ne cesse, depuis lors, de fasciner les contemporains. Si l’histoire de l’art et les expositions ont livré les clés essentielles permettant de mieux comprendre l’art et la vie du peintre, de nombreuses zones d’ombre demeurent encore.

Building techniques in writings on architecture between Italy, France and the Low Countries
Les techniques constructives dans les écrits d’architecture entre Italie, France et anciens Pays-Bas
This conference focuses on the connection between architectural theory and construction techniques. The first part deals with the analysis of technical descriptions, their relationship with building practice, their rhetorical value, and their international circulation and adaptation. It comprises case studies from Italy, France, and the Low Countries. The second part approaches the same problem in a comparative perspective and takes the form of round-table discussions structured around three themes: the relationship between technical writings and construction practices, the literary aspects of technical digressions, and the translation and adaptation of Italian treatises.

Conference, symposium - History
Giovanni Battista Vico (1668–1744) spent most of his professional life as Professor of Rhetoric at the University of Naples. He was trained in jurisprudence, but read widely in Classics, philology, and philosophy, all of which informed his highly original views on history, historiography, and culture. His thought is most fully expressed in his mature work, the Scienza Nuova or The New Science. In his own time, Vico was relatively not so known, but from the nineteenth century onwards his views found a wider audience and today his influence is widespread in the humanities and social sciences. While borrowing our title “The Vico Road” to James Joyce, the conference at the Paris Institute of Advanced Study will examine the current state of the study of the works of Giambattista Vico. We will try to encourage discussion of ideas that can be considered Vichian in nature and that have some affinity with modern and contemporary thought.

Les médailles de Louis XIV et leur livre
En préalable à l’exposition Louis XIV sur le site Tolbiac de la BnF à l’automne 2015, ce colloque international se tiendra sur le site Richelieu de la même institution. Il réunira historiens, historiens de la littérature, historiens des médailles, historiens du livre. De 1694 à 1702, la Petite Académie, Racine et Boileau en tête, s’est entièrement consacrée aux médailles royales. Ses travaux ont abouti au somptueux in-folio des Médailles sur les principaux événements du règne de Louis le Grand, publié par l’Imprimerie royale (1702, 2e édition augmentée en 1723). Outre son intérêt numismatique, ce volume fait date dans la tradition des grands albums de l’histoire monarchique. Le colloque, consacré aux médailles comme au livre, s’articulera en trois journées : principes de composition, influences exercées, thématiques. Il s’accompagnera d’une présentation des médailles de Louis XIV conservées au Cabinet des médailles et des épreuves du livre conservées au Cabinet des estampes.
