The Antique as principle and guidance: the point of view of the artist

11.00 - 12.00, 4 JULY 2020

Dr Adriano Aymonino's main research focus is the reception of the classical tradition in the Early Modern period. In this talk, he will explore why the Antique played such a crucial role in the education of artists from the Renaissance to the nineteenth century, especially through the medium of drawing, and how this contributed to the formation of a canon of classical statuary. The lecture will be followed by a Q&A with Emanuela Tarizzo of Tomasso Brothers Fine Art.
