| Abstract | In this session, the Art-Hist project would like to explore topics dealing with 'Imperial images and shapes: historical and historiographical approaches' and try to answer some questions: Does imperial art exist during the Carolingian or Ottonian Empire? How can it be defined? What can recall or evoke, in medieval works of art, the idea or concept of Empire? How does this principle of evocation work in artistic creation? How did emperors use these forms or images to build their own power and history? |
