The Renaissance Workshop: The Materials and Techniques of Renaissance Art (5/10/2012
- 5/11/2012) 
Place: British Museum, BP Lecture Theatre
Address: Great Russell Street, London, UK
The aim of this CHARISMA
Oriented - topics event is to explore how technical
examination of Renaissance artefacts sheds light not only on their
materials and manufacturing techniques, but also on the prevailing
European workshop practice in the fourteenth to sixteenth
centuries.
Suggested themes for presentations include: evidence of workshop
practice from examination and analysis of artefacts;
inter-relations between different crafts and trades; supply, demand
and trading; documentary evidence of workshop practice and
materials.
While the conference themes cover all types of materials, the focus
will be on objects rather than monuments and buildings, although
decorative elements within buildings, such as wall paintings,
terracottas and furnishings will be included.
The conference language will be English.
Abstract submission is now CLOSED.
