First Call for Papers and Posters

 

Copying, Replicating & Emulating Paintings in the 15th-18th Century

 

This is a Call for Papers for the two-day technical art history conference held at the National Gallery of Denmark on 21-22 May 2012. 

Inspired by the European project Bosch & Bruegel Four Paintings Magnified (http://www.bosch-bruegel.com/) this conference aims to explore how art historical and technical examination of paintings in tandem can address key subjects as meaning, materials and manufacturing techniques, as well as be a catalyst for fresh perspectives on prevailing European workshop practices when copying, replicating and emulating paintings in the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries. 

 

Themes for presentations could be: 

*         Workshop practice and materials particularly in relation to copying & replicating

*         Art historical and technical approaches to documentary evidence

*         Art historical and technical examination and analysis of paintings 

*         Means of supply, questions of demand, issues of trading

 

This is an invitation to submit titles and abstracts of up to 500 words for oral or poster presentations. 

Please send your proposal to the following contact address for consideration by the organising committee: [log in to unmask] <javascript:linkTo_UnCryptMailto('jxfiql7zxqp:zlkpXpjh+ah');>
