"East-West Innovations and Early Modern Court Culture "
Chairs: Sally A. Metzler, Martin D’Arcy Museum of Art, 750 North Rush
Street #1008, Chicago, IL 60611; and Jacqueline Marie Musacchio, Box 640,
Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, NY 12604
How did early modern courts encourage and employ innovations in the arts
and sciences? This session seeks to answer this question through an
exploration of the production and patronage of new and oftentimes
experimental objects, technology, and ephemera in the courts of the eastern
and western hemispheres. We want to examine how rulers promoted
innovations in the arts and sciences and how these innovations reflected
the goals and ideals of their respective courts. We encourage
interdisciplinary papers that investigate the ways in which courts were
both responsible for and beholden to innovations in their visual and
scientific landscape. Papers should discuss the tangible objects,
scientific breakthroughs, or ephemera resulting from these innovations;
possible topics include porcelain, waterworks, pietre dure, astronomical
devices, pyrotechnics, or Wunderkammer objects, all in the service of court
culture.
Many thanks!
