Il cavaliere Jean-Baptiste Seroux d’Agincourt (1730-1814), figura chiave nello studio del Medioevo artistico, non visitò mai l’Abruzzo. Si interessò a pochissime opere di questa regione, funzionali ai temi ai quali era interessato: l’arco acuto (quasi un'ossessione per lui) e le porte di bronzo. Le opere emergevano dalla grande stagione del monachesimo benedettino, che aveva guidato lo stesso Seroux in alcune ricerche eseguite personalmente. Con i benedettini egli ebbe un rapporto particolare, cordiale e grato, testimoniato nelle pagine della sua "Histoire de l’Art par les monumens depuis sa décadence au IVe siècle jusqu’à son renouvellement au XVIe" (1810-1823) e riscontrato in occasione delle sue indagini. Dunque il contributo analizza, attraverso lo studio di materiale inedito, l’attenzione che d’Agincourt rivolse ai monumenti abruzzesi.

Abstract
Jean-Baptiste Seroux d’Agincourt (1730-1814), a key figure in the study of the artistic Middle Ages, never visited Abruzzo. He was interested in very few works from this region, functional to the themes he was interested in: the pointed arch (almost an obsession for him) and the bronze doors. The works emerged from the great season of Benedictine monasticism, which had guided Seroux himself in some research carried out personally. He had a special, cordial and grateful relationship with the Benedictines, testified in the pages of his "Histoire de l’Art par les monumens depuis sa décadence au IVe siècle jusqu’à son renouvellement au XVIe" (1810-1823) and found during his investigations. The paper therefore analyses, through the study of unpublished material, the attention that d'Agincourt paid to the monuments of Abruzzo.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
