Le plâtre a notablement contribué à rendre la sculpture accessible à un plus large public dans l’Italie de la Renaissance. On verra ici en quoi l’utilisation du plâtre par différents peintres et sculpteurs les a peut-être prédisposés à réaliser des œuvres qui ne seraient plus réservées aux élites. Cet article examine la fabrication, la vente et la perception des principales catégories d’œuvres en plâtre, notamment les reliefs de Vierge et l’Enfant, les moulages d’après d’autres artistes et les compositions profanes all antica. Le plâtre n’était pas le seul matériau employé pour ces sortes d’ouvrages, mais sa polyvalence et son usage répandu dans les ateliers des sculpteurs et des peintres lui ont conféré une importance particulière dans la production d’œuvres abordables. Sont évoquées ensuite les décorations en stuc, les sculptures de jardin et les utilisations du plâtre dans les architectures et les sculptures éphémères. |
