  Studying medieval buildings (1850-1950)

  Actors, stakes and methods

  The history of medieval architecture was written, from the mid-19^th century, by men whose training, career and objectives were variable. In fact, they each developed their methods of analysis and their reading grids of medieval buildings, which are at the origin of our practices in art history and archeology. To be interested in these men and their works: this is the purpose of this study day that will allow to implement, at the scale of Western Europe, this epistemological approach of the medieval sciences dedicated to the castral, civil or religious building. Beyond the monuments themselves, which take the place of a major source, correspondences of scientists, archives of learned societies, photographs, old drawings, or the funds of historical monuments, for example, may be used to deal with one or more of the topics presented below.

  Saint-Antoine-lAbbaye

  Conference, symposium - Middle Ages

  Building, decorating, discovering. New perspectives on the Church of Saint-Antoine-l'Abbaye

  Saint-Antoine-l’Abbaye a constitué, du XII^e au XV^e siècle, un foyer artistique des plus dynamiques aux portes des Alpes. Le chantier de construction de l’église abbatiale s’est notamment avéré propice à l’expression d’une architecture et d’un décor gothiques aux sources multiples. Au XVIII^e siècle, c’est aussi à proximité immédiate de l’édifice que se situait un cabinet de curiosités, dont les collections d’histoire naturelle reflétaient alors l’ouverture des Antonins aux sciences.

  The Gothic structures: in pursuit of balance

  Leur stabilité et leurs confortations à l’époque médiévale

  Raised from 1242 to replace the Romanesque choir, the choir of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Tournai (Belgium) is resolutely an exemple of Gothic architecture the most advanced in the French royal domain. Besides a number of reasons, the verticality and slenderness of the construction, the fasciculated pillars, the buttressing thrown outward shows this well. Without participating in the rivalry of the first half of the 13th century to build the tallest cathedral, it plays nevertheless on the extremely lightweight of the construction, which was trying to reach on other contemporary sites. Beauvais is the most famous case, but it is not unique. In Tournai, as elsewhere, important stabilizing work was needed on these monuments that had « exceeded the limit ».

  Stones, techniques and methods: a pluridisciplinary and cross-frontier dialogue

  Stones and techniques: university and academic research (PETRVS)

  Pierres et techniques : recherches universitaires et scientifiques (PETRVS), projet de recherche, développé au sein de l’université de Perpignan Via Domitia (laboratoire CRHiSM – EA 2984) est fondé sur le constat d’un renouvellement des études et des méthodes en art, histoire et archéologie à l’époque médiévale et au début de l’époque moderne. Le projet PETRVS, dans sa durée, permettra de développer des études autour de plusieurs axes thématiques  (chronologie : an mil – milieu du XVI^e s.). La première journée introductive mettra en avant de récentes études menées en France, Espagne et Catalogne ou en Italie, avec des exemples choisis, témoins privilégiés d’un renouvellement des méthodes d’étude et d’analyse des sculptures ou des éléments d’architecture.
