Les stalles de l'ancien duché de Bretagne forment un corpus exceptionnel du point de vue de l'art autant que de l'histoire. Cette thèse en propose une approche globale depuis leur inventaire jusqu’aux mécanismes de leur création en passant par l’iconographie. Dans un premier temps, le recensement de ce mobilier a révélé la présence d’une dizaine de groupes encore en place, soit plus de 300 sièges comportant plus de 1000 éléments sculptés, réalisés pour l’essentiel entre la findu XVe et le milieu du XVIe siècle. Par ailleurs, les documents d’archives permettent la compréhension du contexte de création, les exigences des commanditaires et le travail des huchiers. Ces derniers apparaissent comme des travailleurs indépendants, très qualifiés et bénéficiant d’un savoir-faire étendu. Les modalités de la commande diffèrent selon leszones géographiques et linguistiques concernées, et selon les commanditaires, a fortiori dans le contexte politique de cetteépoque. Le rôle joué par la noblesse francobretonne est ici déterminant, notamment dans la diffusion des motifs italiens. L’iconographie des stalles bretonnes constitue, enfin, un point essentiel de ce travail par la richesse des motifs et la variété des références. L’ouverture du duché au commerce international à la fin du Moyen Âge contribue à la diffusion des modèles et aux échanges artistiques. Mêlant dans un joyeux syncrétisme thèmes religieux et profanes, images du Gothique international et vocabulaire de la première Renaissance, les sculptures des stalles mettent en scène la vision d’un monde, celle du clergé, où cohabitent discours moral, herméneutique chrétienne et culture carnavalesque / The choir stalls of the ancient Duchy of Brittany present an exceptional corpus from the historical point of view as well as from that of the history of art. This thesis focuses on this particular church furniture, supplying its inventory, a study of its iconography and the history and conditions of its creation. The first step of the inventory reveals about ten groups of choir stalls still preserved in Breton churches, which, at least, represent more than 300 stalls and a thousand of sculptures. Themajority of those groups were created between the last decades of the 15th century and the middle of the 16th century. Furthermore, archives give a certain number of useful information for the comprehension of a context of their creation, patrons’ wishes and woodcarvers’ work. Carvers appear to be qualified independent workers possessing an important experience and qualification. The conditions of work depend on geographic and linguistic areas, type of patronage and, afortiori, the specific political and religious context of this period. For example, the Franco-Breton nobility plays a key role in this context, especially in the diffusion of Italian motifs. Iconography of the choir stalls is, finally, of a high interest because of the richness of motifs and the variety of references used in its. The opening of the duchy to the world trade in the late Middle Ages contributes to the diffusion of models and the development of artistic exchanges. Mixing in joyful syncretism religious and profane themes, images from International Gothic and new vocabulary of the first Renaissance, the choir stalls’ carvings of Brittany show us the clerical vision of a world, where moralistic meanings, Christian hermeneutic, satirical views of the society and carnival culture are merged together without contradiction

Because of a demonstrable need, there should be a course for the study of Appalachian art in the high school curriculum. This study is a proposal for the study of traditional Appalachian art and its importance to the promotion and preservation of the arts and crafts in the Appalachian region. This course consists of background information on selected traditional Appalachian art, contact and interaction with local artists and craftspeople, and student hands-on experience in the art forms considered. Detailed unit and lesson plans are included in the following areas: Spinning and Weaving, Dyeing, Basketry, Quilting, Pottery, Woodcarving, Blacksmithing, Vernacular Architecture, and Handmade Instruments of Country Music.

Tanto a Catedral como ambos os museus apresentam vários problemas relacionados à identificação de seu acervo, sendo a grande maioria das obras com procedência desconhecida. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi o de catalogar o acervo da Catedral Metropolitana Nossa Senhora da Conceição de Campinas, de 1840 à 1923, abrangendo imagens sacras, pinturas, detalhes arquitetônicos e a obra de talha. Foi possível rastrear e catalogar todo o acervo através de documentos primários e comparações iconográficas. Percebeu-se que, quanto à catalogação de imagens, a correta amplitude da pesquisa deveria partir de 1774 à 1923, uma vez que enquanto a Matriz Nova era construída, formava-se o acervo de imagens na Matriz Velha, mas com a consciência exata de que o acervo seria passado à nova matriz após sua inauguração. Foi possível também descobrir a autoria e o histórico das pinturas originais presentes na inauguração do templo em 1883, bem como descobrir o histórico e a autoria dos evangelistas e apóstolos da fachada, informações inéditas até o momento. Foram desvendadas a origem das estátuas externas do templo e a pesquisa em fontes primárias inéditas possibilitou encontrar equívocos na descrição do atual catálogo do acervo. A pesquisa da obra de talha, encontrou informações que fazem possível hoje, atribuir à quatro entalhadores o conjunto total da talha: Vitoriano dos Anjos, Bernardino de Sena, Raffaelo de Rosa e Marino Del Favero, os dois últimos italianos. Também foi possível atribuir obras a cada um, cuja autoria, até o momento, era desconhecida. Em sua abrangência, a pesquisa possibilitou desvendar o histórico das fachadas do templo e elucidar diversos acontecimentos como os acidentes durante o período de construção, os arquitetos participantes bem como suas contribuições ao templo, sistemas construtivos e materiais utilizados. Dentro ainda da arquitetura, também descobriu-se todos os elementos modificados e construídos na reforma de 1923. Além do catálogo das obras e da arquitetura, como complemento, foi criado um dicionário de todos os artistas que participaram do acervo, com informações biográficas. Esta catalogação deve servir então à duas propostas, como fonte de pesquisa acadêmica e como utilidade prática no uso diário do acervo. Como conclusão, percebe-se que a história da construção do templo e do acervo é muito mais rica, cheia de detalhes e acontecimentos do que até então se conhecia, fazendo desta pesquisa uma referencia para futuros trabalhos relacionados ao seu acervo e sua história / Abstract: The Catedral Metropolitana de Campinas is a religious temple that houses the Museu Arquediocesano de Campinas and the Museu da Irmandade do Santíssimo Sacramento. Both museums and the Cathedral, present several problems regarding the correct identification of its art collection, with most of the art work of unknown origin. The objective of this research was to catalog the collection of the Catedral Metropolitana Nossa Senhora da Conceição de Campinas from 1840 to 1923. The collection includes sacred images, paintings, architectural details and carving works. This research made possible to trace and catalog the entire collection of the period thru analysis of primary documents and iconographic comparison. Regarding the image collection, the real amplitude of the research should comprehend the period from 1774 to 1923. As the New Church was being built, the collection of images was being formed at the Old Church, but with the certain that the collection would be transferred to the new site after its inauguration. It was also possible to discover the authorship and the history of the original paintings present at the inauguration of the temple in 1883, as well as the authorship and history of the Evangelists and Apostles statues at the façade. The origin of the external statues of the temple was unveiled and the research on unprecedented primary sources made possible to find misconceptions at the description of the current catalog of the collection. The research of the carving works revealed information that contributed to attribute four woodworkers to the whole carving work at the church: Vitoriano dos Anjos, Bernardino de Sena, Raffaelo de Rosa and Marino Del Favero, the last two Italians. It was also possible to attribute to each one, other artworks, which the authorship was unknown until now. Due to the wide scope of the research, it was possible to unveil the history of the façade construction and to elucidate many of the related events such as the accidents, the architects and their contribution on the project and construction of the temple as well as constructive systems and used materials. Still in the architecture scope, it was disclosed all the modified and built elements at the renovation in 1923. Aside the catalog of the collection, as a complement, it was created a dictionary of all the participating artists of the collection with bio info. The cataloging of the collection intend to attend two distinct proposes, as an academic resource and as a daily reference for the museums. In order to come to a conclusion, one can easily realize that the history of the construction of the temple and the gathering of its collection is far richer than could be imagined making this research a starting point and a solid anchor for future researches / Mestrado / Historia da Arte / Mestra em História

Master Hartmann and the Swabian Woodcarving at the Beginning of the 15th Century The stonemason Master Hartmann from Ulm is known to art historians already long time, but his role in Swabian woodcarving at the beginning of the 15th century, however, still evokes numerous questions. Although Hartmann is believed to work simultaneously in the hut and the woodcarving workshop, the average quality of his works, and the fact, that he was accepted as a citizen only in the year 1928, more than ten years after we encounter him in Ulm records for the first time, indicates certain complications of this hypothesis. In this doctoral thesis, Master Hartmann is studied from the perspective of social and cultural situation in Ulm at the beginning of the 15th century. Attention is given to his position in the hut organization on the construction of Ulm Minster and his artistic activity on the western façade, which in its iconographical concept reflects also the historical background. The second part of the thesis focuses on the woodcarving workshop, where the Altarpiece of Dornstadt was made, and on the phenomenon of wide distribution of this style around the entire Swabia. The Ulm workshop is presented in the context of the city and its minster hut, former local centers and even more distant regions. Around 1415,...
