New Research on Venetian Art: A Study Day for Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Students;
Online conference hosted by the Venetian Art History Research Group, October 28, 2023, 1:30-6:00 pm (UK time / BST).

This digital conference brings together an international group of emerging scholars working on topics in Venetian art, with a particular focus on the early modern period. It places special emphasis on the development of novel research; the application of new methodologies; and the critical reassessment of certain artists, objects, and art historical narratives. Thematically organised, papers will examine a wide range of subjects, issues and media, including drawing, church architecture, portraiture, collecting and patronage patterns, workshop practices, identity, and the influence of contemporary literature and Central Italian art on Venetian artistic production.
