National Gallery, Denmark
21-22 May 2012
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 and Bruegel Four Paintings
Magnified
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 and 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: cats-cons [at] smk__dk
The conference language will be English. The deadline for abstract
submission is 1 October 2011.
