  From furrow to skyline - lines and landscapes

  Global views of the landscape

  Les départements d’histoire de l’art et de géographie de l’université Rennes 2 organisent un colloque interdisciplinaire autour des lignes et des figures géométriques qui s’inscrivent dans les paysages naturels et anthropiques. Il s’agira d’appréhender les paysages selon leurs structurations rythmiques en lignes et en figures afin de croiser différentes conceptions du paysage d’une part, et d’interroger notre aptitude à reconnaître et à identifier un paysage d’autre part. De ces rencontres, ce colloque espère dégager la possibilité d’esquisser une théorie commune du paysage.

These took place in 1549 when Charles V, Count of Hainaut and Holy Roman Emperor, attempted to determine the continent’s dynastic, political and economic future by nominating as his successor his son Philip of Spain. With this aim in mind, Charles’s sister Mary of Hungary commissioned a series of magnificent festivals, the most lavish of which took place in September of that year at her palaces close to Mons at Binche and Mariemont.
