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.

Epigraphy and history of Ancient and Medieval Jordan

Par leur abondance, leur diversité et leur fragilité, les inscriptions antiques et médiévales de la Jordanie constituent un patrimoine aussi précieux que menacé. Sans elles, des pans entiers de l’histoire du pays resteraient méconnus. Trop souvent, elles sont pourtant étudiées de façon cloisonnée, en fonction des intérêts historiques et des compétences linguistiques des chercheurs. Le colloque de Lyon fournira l’occasion de faire dialoguer les historiens de l’Antiquité et du Moyen Âge, ainsi que des épigraphistes hellénisants et latinisants avec des spécialistes des langues sémitiques transcrites sur la pierre entre la conquête du Proche-Orient par Alexandre le Grand et les premiers siècles de l’islam.
