REVISIONING HIGH RENAISSANCE ROME

Monday 4th and Tuesday 5th April, 2005

University of Edinburgh
School of Arts, Culture and the Environment
20 Chambers Street

Organised as part of the AHRB Project
“The Court Culture of Early Modern Rome 1450-1750"
www.arts.ed.ac.uk/fineart/rome.html

Why has the term “High Renaissance" proved so tenacious? Despite the
widespread semantic scrutiny of other terms such as Gothic, Mannerism, and
Renaissance itself the concept of the “High Renaissance", a period of
artistic and cultural culmination, is still widely used both inside and
outside academe. How can our understandings of this artistic style, often
characterised by words such as “harmony", “balance" and “clarity" be
reconciled with the religious, social and political crises suffered by Italy
in this era, as interdisciplinary scholarship becomes increasingly the norm?
How did the distinctive cultural and physical setting of the city of Rome,
with its highly educated, cosmopolitan and shifting population affect and
reflect the formulation of new verbal and visual styles?

This conference brings together an international group of scholars who have
recently been grappling with just these issues, with the aim of transforming
our understanding of the art and culture of "High Renaissance" Rome.
Speakers will include Christoph Frommel (Biblioteca Hertziana), David
Franklin (National Gallery of Canada), Alexander Nagel (Center for the
Advanced Study of the Visual Arts, Washington), Kenneth Gouwens (University
of Conneticut) and Suzanne Butters (University of Manchester).

Issues to be discussed include:
- Whether this period can still be seen as culturally distinct, and if so,
how we can best characterise it.
- A reformulation of "High Renaissance" stylistic categories and their
relationship to antique prototypes
- Whether and how - the visual arts, festival and literature reflected
and created a distinctively Roman civic identity.
- Patronage, propaganda and “self-fashioning" of the Pope and members of the
papal court.
- The dialogue between a mythical Rome as the perfect classical/Christian
city and the lived experience of its inhabitants and visitors.
- How developments in visual culture in Rome created an influential model
for patrons and artists in Europe as a whole.
