This day school will explore mechanisms for artistic transmission across Central Europe during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The role of patrons and collectors in shaping notions of taste will be examined as will the impact of the print trade upon the development of iconography in this region. A range of artworks and artefacts will be discussed within their scholarly context, among them portraits, memento mori imagery and luxury jewelled objects.

This day school is one in a series of three taught day schools on the theme of “Visual Cultures of Central Europe: Germany, Hungary and Poland 1400 -1800” that form the third unit of the Diploma in History of Art: Renaissance and Baroque 2019-20.

Each of the three day schools covers a different subject topic within the wider unit theme and are being offered as separate stand alone non award bearing day schools where students will be taught alongside the existing Diploma level group.

Each of the day schools in the series is individually priced at £110 and the dates and titles of each of the day schools are given below:

Saturday 25th April 2020: The Painters, Sculptors and Architects of Central Europe

Saturday 16 May 2020: Artistic transmission across Central Europe

Saturday 6 June 2020: Counter-Reformation,  Patronage and Cultural Landscapes
