At the Dallas Museum of Art:

Louis Léopold Boilly: Between Genre and Portraiture
Dallas Museum of Art, 3 November 2011
Louis-Léopold Boilly, "A Family Admiring a Portrait of a Lady in an Interior," ca. 1790, oil on canvas, 17 1/2 x 21 in. (44.45 x 53.34 cm), The Michael L. Rosenberg Foundation
Focusing on Louis-Léopold Boilly’s Woman Showing her Portrait, this lecture explores the richly imaginative interchange between genre painting and portraiture in the eighteenth century. Join distinguished scholar Dr. Susan L. Siegfried, Denise Riley Professor of the History of Art and Women’s Studies at the University of Michigan, as she describes how the easy exchanges between the real and the fantasy elements of these two categories of subject matter evidently facilitated the imaginative participation of patrons and viewers in ascribing meanings to them.

The European Association for Urban History was established in 1989 with the support of the European Union. Conferences are organised every two years. These biannual conferences provide a multidisciplinary forum for historians, sociologists, geographers, anthropologists, art and architectural historians, economists, planners and all others working on different aspects of urban history. Membership in the Association is free of charge, and is demonstrated
by repeated active participation at the conferences.
The Association supports participation of young scholars by stipends, which cover registration fees, and since 2010 it even offers mobility stipends in a limited number of justified cases. Up to now 10 conferences have been organised. The first one took place in Amsterdam in 1992; twenty years after this first conference, we will meet in Prague. You are sincerely welcome to join us.
