Conference | Artistic Circulation between Rome and Lisbon
Projects, Models, and Artistic Circulation between Rome and Lisbon in the Eighteenth Century
Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 7 November 2014
This international workshop deals with the richness and complexity of the international relations between Lisbon and Rome in the eighteenth century. The transcendence of the Roman Paradigm is well documented in Portugal, but the Lusitanian Rome is still a topic of research that deserves better attention. From a multidisciplinary approach the participants of this workshop are trying to shed some light on a some sort of Iberian Grand Tour.

Projectos, Modelos, e Circulação Artística entre Lisboa e Roma no Sécolo XVIII
Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 7 November 2014
A partir de várias formas de produção artística, assim como de diferentes métodos de investigação, este seminário pretende apreender a complexidade do século XVIII como plataforma de circulação de modelos, actores e projectos, tendo como foco o eixo Roma-Lisboa. As relações entre ambas cidades são postas em relevo com o objectivo de determinar a presença e a importância do mundo ibérico no fenómeno transnacional do Gran Tour, bem como a sua possível participação na República das Letras, tendo em conta que a tradição historiográfica europeia costuma excluir o âmbito ibérico nessas áreas. Assim, o estudo dessas relações permitirá reconsiderar o papel delas no seio dos desafios europeus da época no domínio da arte.
Nessa perspectiva, os olhares cruzados entre estudos específicos e complementares nos campos da música, das artes visuais e da arquitetura pretendem consolidar uma abordagem multidisciplinar dos fenómenos artísticos duma forma global no século XVIII e favorecer um foro de discussão entre os diversos especialistas.

Conference | Carlo Fontana (1638–1714): Celebrato Architetto
From the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca:
Carlo Fontana (1638–1714): Celebrato Architetto
Accademia Nazionale di San Luca, Rome 22–24 October 2014
Convegno internazionale in occasione del trecentesimo anniversario della morte di Carlo Fontana
The conference is dedicated to the architect Carlo Fontanaon the occasion of the 300th anniversary of his death. The protagonist of Roman architecture as the Baroque was waning, Fontana—descending from a famous dynasty of Ticinese architects—organized the teaching and the practice of architecture based on the exercise of drawing and geometry. His workshop thus prefigured modern design studios. The propagandistic usage of graphic sheets and printed volumes illustrating and diffusing Fontana’s works and ideas constituted yet another factor of his modernity. In fact, Fontana understood perfectly the dimension of intellectual and creative freedom of print, liberating himself from a dependence on patrons and from morphological and typological conventions of his time.

Conference | Scholars’ Monuments
From Vienna’s Institut für Kunstgeschichte:
Scholars’ Monuments: Historical Meaning and Cultural Significance
Institut für Kunstgeschichte, Universität Wien, Vienna, 24–26 September 2014
Registration due by 17 September 2014
Der Arkadenhof der Universität Wien stellt mit seinen über 150 Gelehrtendenkmälern eine der größten und qualitätsvollsten Ehrenhallen Europas dar. Aus welcher Tradition heraus entstand dieser akademische Gedenkort? Welche Repräsentationsformen nutzten die Künstler, um die Wissenschaftler zu charakterisieren? Und welche zeitgemäße Darstellungsform eignet sich zur überfälligen Ehrung von weiblichen Gelehrten?
Im Rahmen dieser internationalen Tagung am Institut für Kunstgeschichte werden aktuelle, kunst- und kulturhistorische Forschungspositionen zu Gelehrtendenkmälern zusammengetragen und im Spiegel des Arkadenhofs der Wiener Universität reflektiert. Die Tagungsbeiträge nähern sich der Gelehrtenmemoria aus unterschiedlichen methodischen Richtungen und Disziplinen (Kunstgeschichte, Zeitgeschichte, Wissenschaftsgeschichte, cultural memory studies, gender studies). In diesem Rahmen wird nicht nur die Tradition universitärer Ehrenhallen als Funktionsgedächtnis sichtbar, sondern anhand der Auswahl (und Ausgrenzung) von WissenschaftlerInnen lassen sich zeit- und wissenschaftshistorische Konflikte aufdecken. Diese zeigen sich besonders markant bei politisch-ideologisch und gender-spezifisch motivierter Ausgrenzung. So beleuchtet die Tagung nicht nur die lange Wissenschaftstradition der Universität Wien, sondern wirkt mit ihrem Interesse für die Zukunft dieses Gedenkorts auch identitätsstiftend für die scientific community des 21. Jahrhunderts.
Um Anmeldung wird gebeten unter scholarsmonuments.kunstgeschichte@univie.ac.at.

Exhibition | The Generous Georgian: Dr Richard Mead
From The Foundling Museum:
The Generous Georgian: Dr Richard Mead
The Foundling Museum, London, 26 September 2014 — 4 January 2015

Allan Ramsay, Dr Richard Mead, 1747
(London: The Foundling Museum)
Dr Richard Mead (1673–1754) was one of the most eminent physicians, patrons, collectors, and philanthropists of his day, as well as a significant figure in the early history of the Foundling Hospital. A leading expert on poisons, scurvy, smallpox, and public health, Mead counted among his patients Queen Anne, King George II, Sir Isaac Newton, and the painter Antoine Watteau. A man of action, Mead explored poisons by drinking snake venom and is said to have defended his theory on smallpox treatment to the point of fighting a duel.
His home on Great Ormond Street backed onto the Foundling Hospital grounds and housed a magnificent collection of paintings, sculptures, antiquities, coins, and a library of over 10,000 volumes. Painters and scholars were given access to Mead’s renowned collection, which in a time before public galleries offered visitors a rare chance to view masterpieces from around the world. Examining its significance in London’s cultural landscape, this exhibition reunites key objects from his life and collection, such as the ancient bronze Arundel Head (2nd century BC) and Allan Ramsay’s half-length portrait of Mead.
Exploring Mead ‘in the round’, as a collector, philanthropist and physician, this exhibition will bring to light the Foundling Hospital’s relationship with a truly remarkable individual who, according to his contemporary the writer Samuel Johnson, “lived more in the broad sunshine of life than almost any man.”
The Generous Georgian: Dr Richard Mead is supported by the Wellcome Trust, the City of London Corporation and Verita.

Conference | Travel and the Country House

From the conference programme:
Travel and the Country House: Places, Cultures, and Practices
University of Northampton, 15–16 September 2014
Registration due by 31 August 2014
Keynote speakers: Roey Sweet (University of Leicester) and Margot Finn (University College London)
Travel has long played a vital role in shaping the country house, opening up horizons and exposing both house and owner to a variety of external influences. Travel impacted upon values, tastes, material culture and money, and helped to articulate the flow of ideas, information, goods and capital. The importance of the Grand Tour and Empire to the country house has long been recognised, but domestic tourism and travel for more mundane purposes—to visit family or friends, engage in political life or go to town—were also significant. In this conference, we wish to explore a wide range of travel experiences and consider how these impacted on the country house. How were travel choices made and how were impacts articulated? How did new influences mesh with existing tastes and goods? What impact did its status as a place to visit have upon the country house? And how do we communicate the importance of travel to those visiting country houses today?
This conference addresses these questions and others, drawing together research from Sweden, Hungary, the Netherlands and Ireland as well as all corners of England. It thus offers a comparative perspective on the relationship between travel and the country house, and an opportunity for academics, curators and managers to discuss the ways in which travel continues to shape the ways in which country houses are interpreted, presented and experienced.

Conference | Fifth Annual Feminist Art History Conference
From the conference webpages:
Fifth Annual Feminist Art History Conference
American University, Washington, D.C., 31 October — 2 November 2014
The Fifth Annual Feminist Art History Conference, sponsored by the Art History Program of American University, offers participants a space in which to engage with the expanding legacy of Norma Broude and Mary D. Garrard, two pioneering feminist art historians and professors emerita of art history at AU. This year’s conference includes sixty-eight papers in seventeen sessions. The papers have a global focus that spans a broad range of topics and time periods; together they illustrate the diverse ways in which feminist research and interpretation continue to inform art historical analysis and scholarship.
All events this year will take place on the American University campus. Please see the 2014 program posted online. This year’s keynote speaker, Dr. Lisa Gail Collins, is Professor of Art History at Vassar College. Her talk, titled “Here Lies Love: Feminism, Mourning, and a Quilt from Gee’s Bend,” is drawn from her current book project on history, memory, creativity, and community.
