RETABLES ET SCULPTURES EN BOIS EN CORSE, L'HORIZON TYRRHENIEN ENTRE LE XVe ET LA XVI e SIECLE

From 12/10 to 12/10.

Parc Galea - Public interview with Luisa Nieddu "RETABLES AND WOODEN SCULPTURES IN CORSICA, THE TYRRHENIAN HORIZON BETWEEN THE 15th AND 16th CENTURIES Luisa Nieddu, Associate Researcher at the University of Corsica, will be taking part in a public talk on Sunday 12 October from 2.00 pm as part of the Sunday meetings at the Parc Galea. In the figurative debate on the Mediterranean Renaissance from the 1420s and 1430s, Corsica's historical and artistic heritage has always been a missing link. However, we will see how we can now affirm that our island was a heterogeneous cultural melting pot, at the centre of this great period that was the Mediterranean Renaissance. Luisa Nieddu is an associate researcher in medieval history and art history at the 'Places, Identities, Spaces and Activities' laboratory at the University of Corsica and the CNRS. She trained at the University of Bologna in Modern Letters, majoring in art history, and obtained a doctorate from the University of Corsica on altarpieces in Corsica in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, as well as a doctorate in art history from the University of Geneva on the problems of Leonardo da Vinci through the figure of the Lyon portrait painter Jean Perréal. She also holds a postdoc in art history from the University of Bologna on the movable heritage of Corsica. An art historian under contract to the Superintendency of Fine Arts in Rome (Ministry of Culture), Luisa Nieddu has been working on Corsica's artistic heritage since 2004, for the Heritage Department of the Collectivité de Corse, cataloguing and identifying the production of paintings and wood sculptures throughout the island. This public interview will be followed by a talk at 3pm by Vincent Delieuvin, art historian and curator, entitled "Da Vinci and the secrets of the Mona Lisa". Conditions and prices for access to the Parc Galea are given in the downloadable diary or on the Parc Galea website. This initiative is part of the PIA UNIversité: pour la Transformation au service des territoires Insulaires méditerranéens, supported by the University of Corsica.
