Enlightenment Cosmopolitanisms and Sensibilities
Sancta Sophia College, The University of Sydney, 11–12 June 2014

The character of practiced cosmopolitanism during the Enlightenment often appears to amount to little more than an extension of early modern courtly internationalism infused with a new language of ideas. Further investigation reveals the desire on the part of Enlightenment cosmopolites to open borders in the name of economic, political, intellectual and artistic progress. This workshop explores cosmopolitanism in practice during the long eighteenth century in Europe and, through circulation, beyond its borders. It seeks out lived experiences of cosmopolitanism in the evidence of visual, social and textual expressions, and then asks how to interrogate this evidence. What were the opportunities through which border crossings became fixed in the minds of participants and observers? How was Enlightenment cosmopolitanism in practice inflected with different forms of sensibility?

From the conference programme:

« Les progrès de l’industrie perfectionnée »
Ateliers et manufactures de la Révolution française au Premier Empire, 1789–1815)
Workshops and Manufactures in the Years between the
French Revolution and the Napoleonic Empire, 1789–1815
Institut national d’histoire de l’art and Centre allemand d’histoire de l’art, Paris, 13–14 June 2014

Entre la réunion des États généraux et la fin du Premier Empire, vingt-cinq ans s’écoulent pendant lesquels bouleversements politiques, économiques, sociaux et culturels créent un contexte d’instabilité pour le secteur du luxe et du demi-luxe français. Les ateliers et les manufactures sont confrontés à des conditions matérielles et organisationnelles difficiles. Le manque de matières premières, la détérioration des finances et la diminution du personnel en raison du départ des jeunes hommes aux armées ont un impact négatif sur la production artisanale. L’incertitude générale que représente cette période d’instabilité politique et de conflits armés n’empêchent pourtant pas l’émergence de modes. De nouveaux marchés s’ouvrent et offrent de riches opportunités aux artistes et artisans pour diversifier et élargir leurs créations.

La période révolutionnaire a souvent été considérée comme un temps de rupture, en particulier dans le domaine du luxe dont elle remet en cause les fondements. Il s’agira ici, au contraire, de l’envisager dans sa continuité, à la jonction des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles. La reprise de la production des objets de luxe s’observant dès le Directoire et s’épanouissant avec l’Empire, les mutations de la société et du travail posent la question du développement de nouveaux paradigmes. À quels évènements et à quels changements les manufactures d’État, les ateliers de renom ainsi que les producteurs régionaux doivent-ils faire face entre l’Ancien Régime et la Restauration des Bourbons ? De quelle manière les artistes et les artisans réussissent-ils – ou échouent-ils – à s’adapter ? Mais aussi comment, de ces situations complexes, émergent les facteurs mêmes d’une évolution possible d’un secteur en processus d’industrialisation ?

Le présent colloque entend faire le point sur cette période charnière de l’histoire des arts décoratifs en France, l’objectif étant de mieux comprendre comment, au sein d’une actualité foisonnante, porteuse de transformations, ont fonctionné des ateliers et des manufactures établis à Paris et sur l’ensemble du territoire français. Pluridisciplinaire, croisant en particulier l’histoire de l’art, l’histoire sociale, l’histoire économique, l’histoire culturelle et l’histoire des techniques, le colloque cherchera autant à affiner la périodisation de son sujet d’étude qu’à fournir les clefs de lecture d’une analyse plurielle des objets, en complément d’une approche stylistique déjà éprouvée.

Enlightenment Senses? Eighteenth-Century Sensorium(s), Theory and Experience
Centre for Enlightenment Studies at King’s, King’s College London, 13 June 2014

Registration due by 7 June 2014

Organized by William Tullett, Alice Marples, and Marlee Newman

The conference brings together those concerned with the social and cultural history of the senses in the period from 1650 to 1790 as well as those working on literary or intellectual histories of the senses in an attempt to encourage a more active dialogue between these areas. It aims to link ‘sensory histories’, concerned with embodied sensory experience and representation, with ‘histories of the senses’ in which the intellectual and medical understandings of the senses are foregrounded.

Collecting Prints & Drawings
Kloster Irsee, 13–16 June 2014

Registration due by 6 June 2014

Organized by Andrea M. Gáldy, Sylvia Heudecker, and Angela M. Opel

Excursions to Staatliche Graphische Sammlung München on 13 June and to Burg Trausnitz, Landshut on 16 June

Cabinets of prints and drawings belong to the earliest art collections of Early Modern Europe. Some of them achieved astounding longevity such as the Florentine Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe at the Uffizi. The fame which they acquired then demanded an ordered and scientific display. Keepers were employed to ensure that fellow enthusiasts as well as visiting courtiers, diplomats and also artists might have access to the print room. Documenting an encyclopaedic approach to knowledge, prints and drawings often depicted parts of the collection in the form of a paper museum. They spread its fame, and with it the renown of its owner, across Europe and into new worlds of collecting.

Themes of this conference include the importance of such collections for the self-representation of a prince or connoisseur; the reliability of the presentation of a gallery’s picture hang in prints and drawings; differences in the approach to collecting, presentation and preservation of prints and drawings in diverse parts of the world; as well as the afterlife of such collections to the present day.

Jeux et enjeux du cadre dans les systèmes décoratifs à l’époque moderne
Institut national d’histoire de l’art, Paris, 9–10 May 2014

Pouvant être considérés comme de véritables systèmes, les décors modernes s’imposent comme un phénomène propre de la pratique artistique, qu’il convient d’étudier comme tel. Le décor atteint en effet entre les XVe et XVIIIe siècles un degré d’élaboration et de complexité tout particulier, multipliant les dispositifs de présentation du discours visuel tout en intégrant les contraintes spatiales imposées par ses supports.

Ces journées d’études entendent appréhender l’originalité de ce phénomène à travers la question du cadre. Souvent laissé à la marge des études sur le décor, le cadre en constitue pourtant l’une des dimensions essentielles, qui en conditionne non seulement les modes de perception mais permet aussi d’en comprendre les mécanismes de fonctionnement. En effet, si les systèmes décoratifs sont par excellence, à l’époque moderne, le lieu d’une expérimentation des frontières entre l’espace réel et celui de la représentation, c’est notamment à travers des jeux d’encadrement subtils et variés, que nous aurons à cœur d’explorer au cours de cette rencontre.

Organisées par le Centre d’histoire de l‘art de la Renaissance, HiCSA, Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne ;  le Centre de recherches François-Georges Pariset, Université Bordeaux Montaigne ; et le Groupe d’analyse culturelle de la première modernité, Université catholique de Louvain.

Journées d’étude organisées par l’Institut national d’histoire de l’art en partenariat avec le musée de la Chasse et de la Nature

Au sein du genre pictural si délicat à définir en soi qu’est la nature morte, « l’animal » constitue un objet paradoxal qui semble fragiliser sa définition même, et, au-delà, celle des genres et de leurs hiérarchies. En effet, si la catégorie de « l’animal » peut être considérée comme un lieu commun permettant aux hommes de se distinguer entre toutes les espèces et de s’accorder une prééminence parmi les êtres vivants, il revient à la nature morte de contribuer à son élaboration tout en questionnant sa validité, celle du système classificatoire dans lequel il s’inscrit et de l’idéologie qui les fondent tout deux. Sous la triple forme de l’être vivant, du cadavre et de la viande, les figures animales perturbent l’ordonnancement des objets inanimés qui caractérise la nature morte. Vivant, l’animal détonne parmi l’amoncellement de matière inerte et rivalise avec la figure humaine dans sa capacité à raconter et émouvoir. Mort, il force la prise en compte du sens le plus littéral de la terminologie française, ouvrant le genre à la représentation triviale de la mort, en deçà des méditations du memento mori, notamment lorsqu’il s’associe à la chasse et à la dévoration qu’elle présage. Entier, la multiplicité de ses formes – loup, cerf, cygne, faisan, lapin, mouton, serpent, poisson, homard, huître… – questionne le principe même de l’unité du règne animal. Ouvert, démembré et présenté en morceaux sur une quelconque table, il se métamorphose en viande et s’invite dans la culture alimentaire. Cette journée d’études examinera les perturbations spatiales, temporelles et critiques qu’introduit la présence animale dans la nature morte, opérant à ses limites et les troublant.

Exploring Maria Sibylla Merian
Artis Library, University of Amsterdam, 26–28 May 2014

Banana (Musa × paradisiaca) with moth and larva of the bullseye moth (Automeris liberia); plate 12, M.S. Merian, 1719, Over de voortteeling en wonderbaerlyke veranderingen der Surinaemsche insecten (University of Amsterdam)

Artis Library (Special Collections of the University of Amsterdam) will host a three-day symposium titled Exploring Maria Sibylla Merian on May 26–28, 2014. The program will open on the evening of May 26 with a reception and presentation and continue the following day with panels of invited scholars who will discuss their research on Merian’s life and her work in both art and science. On the third day the discussion will focus on the challenges and future of research on Merian. The themes of the symposium will be Merian’s biography, her work in the context of early modern entomologists and artists, the biology/ecology in Merian’s work, and her influence on both art and science. This symposium also aims to be the starting point for the preliminary work on an international conference in 2017, the 300th anniversary of the death of Merian.

If you are interested in attending the symposium (the cost will be 50 Euros), please contact Florence Pieters at the email address below. Space is very limited and so we also ask that you let us know if you must cancel for any reason.

Speakers will present 20-minute papers and time will be allotted for discussion. The order is not finalized, but capsule descriptions of the topics are below.

Presenting Merian, Kurt Wettengl
The talk will reflect on the Merian exhibition in Nürnberg 1967 and the exhibition in Frankfurt in 1997, touching on questions about the background of the exhibitions and the different intentions of exhibitions. This presentation will also reflect on the necessity of new investigations into Merian’s life and work.

Studying Insects before Merian: Johannes Goedaert en Johannes Swammerdam, Eric Jorink
Two Dutchmen, Johannes Goedaert (1617-1668) and Johannes Swammerdam (1637–1680) brought insects, considered as the ‘less esteemed of God’s creatures’, to the center of scientific and artistic attention. Basing themselves on philosophical and religious arguments, both argued that insects were among nature’s most intricate and ingenious creatures, showing the Creator’s magnificence par excellence, and their books were largely responsible for arousing interest in collecting and studying insects.

From Lay Expert to Fabulist: Merian’s scientific reputation in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Brian Ogilvie
Maria Sibylla Merian’s engraved works on insects were widely circulated in the eighteenth century and were used and cited favorably by leading naturalists, but in the 19th century, her mistakes were often cited as grounds for rejecting her authority entirely. This paper will examine how this shift in naturalists’ assessment of Merian is related to changes in European society and in the organization and practice of entomology.

Merian’s holistic view of the tiny, Katharina Schmidt-Loske
Merian developed a unique style of drawing insects and their development stages and is famous for depicting the caterpillars’ food plants. Her perspective, details of the insects’ structure, and documentation of parasitic cycles characterize her work. This presentation will compare Merian’s still life studies, her ‘Studienbuch’, caterpillar book and entomological watercolours with those of Johannes Goedaert, Wenceslaus Hollar, Herman and his son Anton Henstenburgh, and Johannes Bronckhorst.

The Ecology of the Raupen books, Kay Etheridge
Merian’s Raupen (caterpillar) books contain a wealth of insightful observations on interactions among the species portrayed – the very foundation of the study of ecology. This presentation will focus on her study of factors central to ecological science, including her descriptions of environmental effects on insect development and abundance, and her observations on insect food choice and feeding behavior.

Challenges in transcribing Merian’s correspondence, Florence F.J.M. Pieters
This presentation is linked to that of Brigitte Wirth, who discovered a major transcription error in a letter written by M.S. Merian in 1711. Brigitte’s correction throws new light on the coloring procedures in Merian’s atelier. Furthermore, the letter helps to clarify price differences between several types of hand-colored copies of her books.

Maria Sibylla Merian, Baltasar Scheid and Richard Bradley: Some remarks on their letters and on the struggle with incorrect transcriptions and translations, Brigitte Wirth
In several letters the Amsterdam trader Baltasar Scheid (circa 1660–1724 ) wrote to J.G. Volkamer about Merian’s Metamorphosis, describing its development in a few words from the early beginning to the end. With the details given in these letters it is possible to specify the time of production of this book. The English botanist Richard Bradley, who visited Merian in 1714, mentioned original drawings and hand-colored books he saw in her house in his correspondence with James Petiver. The presentation will also discuss how comparison of transcriptions and translations of Merian’s letters revealed differences in meaning that should be corrected.

The printing history of Merian’s Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium, Leslie Overstreet
In 1705 Merian published her classic work Surinam work in two languages and with plates in four modes: uncolored on paper, hand-colored on paper, and hand-colored counter-proofs on either paper or vellum. Through the 18th century, five further ‘editions’ were produced, again in several languages both uncolored and colored. This presentation will demonstrate how surviving copies provide evidence of significant divergence of later editions from the original coloring, raising questions about the scientific reliability of those versions.

Contemporary clients for Merian’s colored copies, Truusje Goedings
Merian advertised and sold both colored and uncolored copies of her heavily illustrated books. Hand-colored books were highly profitable and must have been a major source of income for Merian. This paper will examine some of her contemporary clients for these rather expensive materials, their interests, and what they bought.

Portfolio Wiesbaden, Joos van de Plas
This contemporary artist will address her research in which she investigated the alleged link between specimens in the Wiesbaden Gerning Collection and Merian’s work. Van de Plas visually compared the dried insects in the Gerning Collection with the life-size depictions in Merian’s Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium; she verified her findings using computer comparisons and by additional comparisons with specimens in other 17th- and 18th-century collections. Van de Plas also will relate how her decade-long investigation profoundly influenced her own art.

Enlightened Princesses: Caroline, Augusta, Charlotte & the Shaping of the Modern World
Hampton Court Palace, London, 7–9 July 2014

This three-day international symposium, taking place at Hampton Court Palace and associated sites, brings together eminent academicians and museum scholars to examine the roles played by Queen Caroline of Ansbach; Augusta, Princess of Wales; and Queen Charlotte in the promotion of the arts and sciences in eighteenth-century Britain. The themes that will be addressed are pertinent to exhibitions scheduled to open in 2017 at the YCBA and in London. The princesses’ individual and collective interests in art, botany and gardens, natural philosophy and medicine, and the education of their children will be explored in relation to a dramatically changing social, political, and technological milieu, as will their roles in the encouragement of the British Enlightenment. The symposium is timed to take advantage of the period when various London institutions will be commemorating the anniversary of the Hanoverian Succession and aims to contribute in a major way to the general public discourse around that event.

The program includes two full days of lectures, themed panels, and special tours and events, followed by a day devoted to tours of two sites important in the lives of these royal women: Kew Palace and its gardens, and Kensington Palace. The fee for attending the conference is £100. Reductions are available for a limited number of students on application to the conference organizer. To register, visit the HRP website. Questions may be addressed to the conference organizer at ycba.research@yale.edu.
