  Reconstruction of Polychromy – Research on Polychromy in Ancient Sculpture, Architecture and Wall-painting: the Role of Reconstructions

  Virtual Retrospect 2017

  Trying to recover the original aspect of ancient buildings or art works is of particular interest, both in terms of research and in terms of dissemination. Although 3D geometrical reconstruction of sculptures and architecture is already a well-established domain, this international conference will be dedicated to color reproduction. Which process should be used to measure colors or to restore their materiality? Should we prefer digital approaches to material reenactments? What choices can be made when faced with lacunar areas or when the works have had several successive states of polychromy during their history? In the context of cultural mediation, how can the public be taken into account without undermining the scientific value of the approach? These multidisciplinary questions will be discussed through oral presentations, posters and multimedia device in a dedicated exhibition space.

  Big beautiful Brittany - Monumental art in Brittany in the late Middle Ages (1420-1540)

  Ce n’est que depuis une trentaine d’années que les connaissances sur l’art flamboyant breton commencent à s’affiner. Mais il reste encore bien des lacunes à combler : si les chantiers majeurs sont désormais bien identifiés, certaines zones restent à l’écart des études ; les phénomènes de transferts artistiques sont encore imparfaitement compris pour le XV^e et le début du XVI^e siècle dans la région ; les rôles des commanditaires – noblesse, clergé, paroisses – et leurs relations avec les artistes et les artisans demandent encore à être précisés.
