SYMPOSIUM: NEW PERSPECTIVES ON PAOLO VERONESE

Dr. Virginia Brilliant Curator of European Art

Although years of preparation and research go into the making of an exhibition, never is a show the last word on a given topic. Indeed, exhibitions are usually only the beginning. They invite new audiences to discover an artist or subject for the first time, and ask scholars to look anew at familiar works and themes. In that spirit, we are delighted to invite you to join us March 8–9, 2013 for a symposium celebrating the exhibition Paolo Veronese: A Master and His Workshop in Renaissance Venice. Reflecting on the history and opportunities of Veronese scholarship, a keynote lecture by David Rosand, Meyer Schapiro Professor Emeritus of Art History at Columbia University, will inaugurate the event. A symposium the following day will feature presentations offering new perspectives on Veronese’s art by noted scholars in the field. Coming to us from institutions including the National Gallery of London, Johns Hopkins University, the Kimbell Art Museum, the San Diego Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the University of Toronto, our scholars will offer insights into Veronese’s engagement with architecture, sculpture, and the ritual culture of Renaissance Venice; his paintings for palaces and villas; and the reception of his art in his own time and beyond, amongst other themes. These events are made possible in part through the generous support of the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, which supports scholarship on Venice. We look forward to seeing you there!
