This international two-day workshop for PhD students, post-docs and early career researchers focuses on the Renaissance as the key to the transformation of European art and society on the threshold of modern times. The normative approach often left aside contemporary regionalisms or local appropriations living apart from the main European currents.
We are interested in the problem of
- new research on the arts and architecture of the Renaissance,
- aspects of the Renaissance in Central Europe: modalities of receptions and appropriations,
- the reception and historiography of the Renaissance in the 18th, 19th and 20 centuries.
The program is composed of lectures with discussion (June 11th) and guided tours (June 12th): architecture tour in Prague and commented tour with the curator and author of the exhibition “From Michelangelo to Callot: The Art of Mannerist Printmaking” in the National Gallery Prague.
