Résumé dications intellectualistes, développées dans le cadre de l'Académie de Saint-Luc, à la toute fin du 16e siècle, en référence à une "Renaissance" perdue - dont on peut se demander si, comme tous les âges d'or, elle fut jamais autre chose qu'un mythe fondateur.

Résumé anglais In Search of the Renaissance. Analysis of post-Tridentine changes occurring in Rome in the relations between the Church and the painters suggests that the mostobviously heteronomous constraints (such as the accelerating rhythm of work, under Sextus V, which tended to reduce the painter's role to that of a contractor deprived of any conceptual initiative ; or, under Cardinal Paleotti, the iconographie control of religious imagery) were not necessarily such a paralysing handicap for the artist as the traditionally modernist fable of the "stranglehold of the authorities" would have it. Indeed, these heteronomous constraints, precisely because they were heteronomous, may paradoxically have left that much more freedom to the painters' formal autonomy the more they sought to die ta te content. Likewise they helped the formulation of intellectualist demands, developed in the framework of the Academy of St. Luke, at the very end of the 16th century, in relation to a lost "Renaissance" - which, like all golden ages, was perhaps never more than a founding myth.
