SETTING THE SCENE: THE ARCHITECTURAL IMAGINATION OF RENAISSANCE ARTISTS
FRIDAY 24 MAY 2019
WARWICK IN LONDON, STANLEY BUILDING, 7 PANCRAS SQUARE, LONDON
Setting the Scene: the Architectural Imagination of Renaissance Artists is a workshop exploring the representation of architecture in European painting between the fifteenth and the sixteenth centuries. Focusing on Italy and the Netherlands, its aim is to analyse the roles of architecture in narrative scenes through a series of case studies presented by established scholars, curators and early career researchers. Extended discussions after the papers will enable participants to probe in depth this emerging research topic, furthering our understanding of the architectural knowledge of artists, highlighting the inventiveness of their architectural solutions, and exploring the interplay between setting and narrative.
