Reference number:
AP215
Synopsis:
Le fonds Pierlucio Pellissier, 1946-2020, documente les projets de conservation et de commissariat entrepris par Pierlucio Pellissier, architecte, conservateur et professeur, entre 1996 et 2003. Le fonds comprend des documents textuels et photographiques touchant à trois projets distincts : les restaurations de deux églises décorées par l’architecte et artiste Guido Nincheri (1885-1973), qui en assura également le design architectural, soit Sainte-Amélie à Baie-Comeau, Québec (1938-1939) et Notre-Dame-de-la-Défense, Montréal (1919), et le commissariat d’une exposition sur l’œuvre de Guido Nincheri tenue à Montréal en 2001. Le travail de conservation et de restauration des fresques de Nincheri, qui ornent les deux églises, forme la plus grande partie de la documentation, mettant en lumière la spécificité du médium et les problématiques de la conservation d’œuvres d’art à portée publique.

DR1970:0003
Description:
This drawing shows an exterior of a residential building. The artist uses color to suggest the materials used in construction; blue-grey for the pitched slate roof, brown for masonry details and architectural sculpture, and red striations for brickwork. This combination of materials was common in early modern France, where a play on color and materiality enlivened the façades of well-known royal edifices including the chateaux of Fontainebleau and Saint-Germain-en-Laye. As with the construction technique that interwove stone with brick, the architectural style depicted in the drawing combines traditional French ideas about building with classicizing elements imported to France via Italian artists and architects as well as through printed translations of Vitruvius’s 'De architectura' and Sebastiano Serlio’s architectural treatise. The inclusion of masonry rustication and the decorative urns that punctuate the roofline suggest a knowledge of classicizing trends in architectural ornament and a familiarity with the œuvre of artists working in the circle of the first and second Écoles de Fontainebleau. The structure’s elongated form suggests a gallery and the organization of the façade borrows the combination of slightly protruding vertical bays and long horizontal registers that characterizes Pierre Lescot’s wing of the Louvre, a project that would have been well-known in court circles in the latter half of the sixteenth century. Similarly, the two winged allegorical figures flanking the central pediment are reminiscent of Jean Goujon’s sculptural additions to the Lescot wing. In the Canadian Centre for Architecture’s drawing both figures hold palms, but the artist omitted any further identifying attributes, perhaps – along with the empty niches – as an invitation for the patron to imagine his or her own thematic program for the project.
