Jean-François Blondel

Ces cathédrales aux mystérieux rayons de lumière Lorsque Jean-François Blondel a constaté le rai de lumière dans la Cathédrale de Chartres, le jour du solstice d’été, il décide d’en savoir plus. L’essai Ces Cathédrales aux mystérieux rayons de lumière est né de ses recherches. Jean-François Blondel croit que les bâtisseurs du Moyen-Âge ont attiré l’attention en mettant en place ce détail…

Oyez, oyez !

Y aurait pas des médiévistes et/ou fans de Kaamelott dans le coin ? Je recherche une vidéo type making of/documentaire sur Kaamelott, qui parle du rapport historique entre la série et les légendes sources. Plus particulièrement, un passage sur le barde de Kaamelott et le rôle des troubadours. Je ne trouve pas sur Youtube, c'est bizarre.

Je ne sais comment je dure, Car mon triste coeur chavire Et plaindre n’ose, ni dire Ma douloureuse aventure, Ma dolente vie obscure. Rien, hors la mort, ne désire ; Je ne sais comment je dure. Il me faut, par couverture, Chanter que mon coeur soupire Et faire semblant d’en rire ; Mais Dieu sait ce que j’endure. Je ne sais comment je dure.

Mission Château fort !

La classe dont tu es le HÉROS 6/7 ans Le principe du livre dont vous êtes le héros des années 80 est repris ici dans Mission Château fort en direction des plus jeunes. Rappelons le procédé : la progression dans l’album se fait en répondant à des énigmes ou en accomplissant des petits jeux, etc. donc uniquement en fonction des choix et des actions effectués par le lecteur. Ici le thème est la…

Decorative Sunday

In 1823, an aspring young lawyer named Jules Labarte (1797-1880) married Joséphine Debruge-Duménil*, the only daughter of the wealthy art collector Louis-Fidel Debruge-Duménil (1788-1838). He was enthralled by his father-in-laws collection, one of the first major private collections of Medieval and Renaissance Art in France, and by 1835 he had abandoned the law to dedicate himself to the study of art history. A few years later, Debruge-Duménil passed away unexpectedly, and Labarte was charged with identifying and cataloging his collection of over fifteen thousand artifacts, a task he took on with great meticulousness.

The resulting catalog was published in 1847 by La Librarie Archeonologique de Victor Didron with a 400 page introduction. This well-researched introduction became a highly sought after text, and Didron pressed Labarte for years to produce a second edition. Labarte refused for years, but allowed for a English translation, published in 1855 by J. Murray of London as Handbook of the Arts of the Middle Ages and Renaissance as Applied to the Decoration of Furniture, Arms, Jewels, Etc.

The English edition only increased the appetite for a revised French edition, to which Labarte finally agreed. Between 1864 and 1866, Histoire des arts industriels au Moyen Âge et à l'époque de la Renaissance was published in Paris by A. Morel et Cie. in four volumes, with two additional volumes of plates. Printing was done by Henri Plon, an ancestor of 16th century Danish typographer Jehan Plon. The plates are primarily chromolithographs produced by Lemercier, the largest lithography firm in Paris at the time. Keep your eyes peeled for a follow up post where we will share images from the second album and discuss Rose-Joseph Lemercier (1803-1887).

The above images are all sourced from the first album of plates. Critics praised the book’s illustration for its rich colors and “photo-like accuracy.” You might look at the last image above (of the statue St. Anne and her Children by German artist Hans Greiff) and question that characterization based on the somewhat bizarre faces, but lo and behold, the faces on the actual statue are a bit strange! See for yourself:

*Special shout out to Institute National d’Histoire de l’Art (INHA) for providing me with the first name of Labarte’s wife Josephine, who is most commonly (and annoyingly) referred to in the literature as “daughter of Louis-Fidel Debruge-Duménil” or “wife of Labarte.”
