The representation of architecture in the figurative arts (painting, frescoes, drawings, reliefs, marquetry) remains a subject largely neglected by art historians. The reflection to which Sabine Frommel invites us with this series of lectures, accompanied by this publication edited by Hazan in the La Chaire du Louvre collection, extends from the metaphorical dimension of monuments, ruins, and construction sites to the ways and styles with which architecture and space are evoked and continually rethought. From this horizon of almost four centuries, continuities, mutations, and renewals emerge, revealing fertile influences between artists and the osmosis between different genres. This captivating exploration thus offers unique access to the museum's works and enriches our view of major but also lesser-known productions of the Italian Renaissance. With La Chaire du Louvre, the Louvre Museum offers an annual event dedicated to research in archaeology, art history, and culture. Each year, a renowned historian presents a unique synthesis on an original subject at the Auditorium, enabling transdisciplinary connections between works from around the world. The Louvre Chair thus aims to foster a moment of creativity and transmission that will foster reflection on works of art and their significance in contemporary societies.
