In case anyone missed it at the Material Renaissance conference in April,
and is actually interested in the subject, I'll be giving my paper on "The
Politics of Magnificence and Fifteenth-Century Italian Architecture" at the
Oxford History of Art Seminar next Wednesday, 11 June, at 5:00 pm in the
Hedley Lecture Theatre, Ashmolean Museum, Beaumont Street, Oxford. It
hasn't changed much.

The aim of this conference is to be build on the scholarship of the 1960s
and 1970s and move towards a new study of what Claude’s landscapes, and the
whole 17th century tradition of ideal landscape, may have meant, at how
landscape may have been read, and at how it was produced. The speakers at
the conference come from a variety of methodolgies, and there are sections
on the devotional landscape; on concepts of landscape and 17th century
aesthetics of variety and contrast; on the savage landscape and the 17th
century sublime; on Claude and pastoralism. Whilst the early Baroque period
has recently been much studied, this conference concentrates on the middle
and late years of the century, 1630 – 1690, which have received far less
attention.
Booking details should be available on the British School at Rome's website.
