Books by Adrien Palladino
Conques has been an important node, a singularity within many entangled histories from late antiquity to the present. This volume publishes papers expanding on the second conference of the project “Conques in the Global World. Transferring Knowledge: from Material to Immaterial Heritage” (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange H2020). Held in October 2023 at the Centre européen in Conques, the workshop brought together international experts from a variety of disciplines and geographies, indicating the directions future studies of this site might take and reflecting on its material, literary, and historiographical legacy.
The collected essays in this volume reflect scholarly and artistic fascination with Conques. They question, open, and reopen important dossiers, bringing fresh insights and perspectives on the site’s material, literary, and performative culture. These range from Bernard of Angers’s Miracles of Sainte Foy and the scholarly reception of this text to charged discussions of the architectural sources and models for the abbey-church and its role in regional and interregional dynamics. From the heated architectural history, the essays segue into the other hot topic of Conques: rethinking the elusive Majesty of Sainte Foy. Essays examine its fabrication history, its specific perception during the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and its staging and geographical anchoring. These analyses give way to an essay devoted to Conques’ nineteenth-century reconstruction. The present volume closes with a text devoted to the mediation of medieval literary culture within contemporary contexts. In their disciplinary diversity, this volume unites scholarly traditions, opening new avenues for the study of a medieval site which, through its entangled histories, captivates scholars around the world.

Tracing the medieval reliquary’s “pre-history”, this volume examines boxes bearing Christian images and patterns made between the fourth to the sixth century CE. It investigates how vessels adorned with images acquired meaning and power, exploring the dynamics of transformation that accompany both the creation of these objects and their long history of reuse, marginalization, and rediscovery.

One year later, this book presents their intellectual, human, and art historical theoretical know-how, transformed by the experience of their bodies. In this context, exhausted and activated bodies became instruments asking new questions to medieval artworks and sources. Structured as a walk along pilgrimage routes, this book presents firstly the landscape, followed by liminal zones, before leading the reader inside medieval churches and ultimately towards the sacred. Original scientific art historical research combines with personal engagement. What emerges is the subject confronted with the experience of medieval art.
Plotinus and the Origins of Medieval Aesthetics, an iconic essay of byzantinist André Grabar, first published in 1945 in French, is here presented to the reader for the first time translated in English. It is preceded by an historiographical introduction by Adrien Palladino, presenting the genesis of the text, replacing it within the opus of the scholar, and assessing its relevance within the new horizons of the field of art history.

With the text on the restoration of the historian Christian d’Elvert as a guideline, and making use of numerous unpublished archive documents, what emerges is a dive into the history of the mentalities of a restoration project involving an entire society – from citizens and local authorities to the German master builder Josef Arnold, and to the famous Viennese architect Heinrich Ferstel. In such a way, the article follows – in three steps – all the major stages of the restoration, from its intellectual conception as a project to “purify” the appearance of the church to practical issues such as the involvement of votive donations in its financing, and to the global dynamics involved behind the idea of a neo-Gothic restoration in the second half of the long 19th century.
it deals with the notion of images’ capturing viewers’ attention by analyzing the Lausanne porch sculptures’ most striking features: their position, their polychrome decoration, and their gaze. This study contributes to understanding the role of medieval images, how they could accompany daily events, and how such images became witnesses to a believer’s once-in-a-lifetime, life-changing moment.

The workshop intends to explore the theoretical and methodological innovations which emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, and how the latter intertwined with the geopolitical and cultural context of that time. We especially seek short papers deepening the biography of pivotal scholars of Byzantine art and to compare how they approached the discipline in different contexts, such as in Western and Central Europe, in the United States, and in the USSR.
The aim of this conference is to expand the discussion, through an investigation of this phenomenon in the most interdisciplinary way possible. Specifically, the impact of Russian emigration on hard and soft sciences, as well as the arts, will be explored. The main input is therefore not to focus only on individual stories, but to reflect on how this newly established dialogue transformed the world. Special attention will therefore be given to the particularities of the Russian émigrés' experience as well as the manner in which existing communities were able to integrate with the new arrivals, acquiring their specific knowledge and perceptions. In sum, the aim of this conference is to reflect on the life-changing effects of elite emigration on the national and supranational structures receiving them. And, in turn, the métisse identity of the integrated migrants becoming one of the cornerstones of a new civilisation. Participants are invited to reflect on issues such as the historiography of the sciences, artistic production, from visual arts and literature to theatre and movie-making, interdisciplinary approaches within a particularly broad geographical frame.
The goal of this experience was not to imitate the medieval pilgrim within a world where everything is different. In particular, the lifestyle of Western culture – radically transformed by means of transport and accelerated by virtual communication – has contributed to the increase of the Cartesian dichotomy between body and mind. The ambition was on the contrary to re ect on the elements that human beings have shared throughout the centuries.
Building on these insights, the workshop will delve into practical aspects, seeking possible places for Byzantium after the end of a linear, chronological art historical canon as described by Hans Belting (Das Ende der Kunstgeschichte: Eine Revision nach 10 Jahren) and others. The talks will focus on historiography and scholarly networks, on questions of collecting, artistic production, national and supranational political thought, and on Byzantium’s place within the boundaries of modern academic disciplines.
