Abstract

Stretching back to antiquity, motion had been a key means of designing and describing the physical environment. But during the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries, individuals across Europe increasingly designed, experienced, and described a new world of motion: one characterized by continuous, rather than segmented, movement. New spaces that included vistas along house interiors and uninterrupted library reading rooms offered open expanses for shaping sequences of social behaviour, scientists observed how the Earth rotated around the sun, and philosophers attributed emotions to neural vibrations in the human brain. 'Early Modern Spaces in Motion' examines this increased emphasis on motion with eight essays encompassing a geographical span of Portugal to German-speaking lands and a disciplinary range from architectural history to English. It consequently merges longstanding strands of analysis considering people in motion and buildings in motion to explore the cultural historical attitudes underpinning the varied impacts of motion in early modern Europe.

Abstract

"One of the most distinguished scholars in the fields of architectural history and theory today, James Sloss Ackerman is best known for his work on Italian masters such as Palladio and Michelangelo. In this collection of essays, Ackerman offers insight into his formation and development as a scholar, as well as reflections on a range of topics. Concise, lucid, and original, this book presents deep syntheses alongside innovative approaches and a broadening geographical and chronological reach. Ackerman's enduring fascination with architecture was one unforeseen consequence of his military service in World War II, and the collection includes a revealing account of his part in the liberation of Milan as a soldier in the Fifth American Regiment. These essays represent a unique, personal journey--from the Italian Renaissance to the classical architecture of India and the work of Frank Gehry at the new museum of the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris"--

Abstract

Une présentation innovante de l'œuvre et fortune du Philibert De l'Orme, plus grand architecte français de la Renaissance. Entre Pierre Lescot et Jean Bullant, Jean Goujon et Jacques Androuet du Cerceau, Philibert De l?Orme est l?étoile majeure d?une constellation d?architectes qui, à l?instar de la Pléiade des poètes, a donné au XVIe siècle français une aura comparable à celle de l?Italie. Au service du cardinal Jean du Bellay, de Diane de Poitiers, de Henri II et de Catherine de Médicis, constructeur et théoricien, il laisse une œuvre aussi passionnante que problématique. Héritier du Moyen-Âge et grand connaisseur de l?antiquité romaine, praticien expert doublé d?un humaniste savant, il réalise une synthèse fascinante des tendances diverses mais convergentes de la Renaissance, qui lui fait incarner le renouveau artistique de la France de son temps. Quoique sa fortune ait souffert des vicissitudes de l?histoire, de l?évolution du goût et sans doute aussi du caractère protéiforme de son génie, sa puissance créatrice, égale à celle d?un Rabelais ou d?un Ronsard, en fait le Michel-Ange français. À l?occasion du cinq-centième anniversaire de sa naissance, le LVIIe colloque international d?études humanistes du Centre d?études supérieures de la Renaissance à Tours, organisé par Frédérique Lemerle, directrice de recherche au Cnrs (Tours, CESR, UMR 7323) et Yves Pauwels professeur des universités (Tours, CESR/Université François-Rabelais) a rendu hommage à celui qui fut l?un des plus grands artistes de la Renaissance. Les essais réunis s?attachent à explorer quelques zones d?ombre laissées encore obscures par les monographies précédemment consacrées à l?architecte en inscrivant la problématique dans la perspective pluridisciplinaire qui est celle du CESR.
