City Limits: urban identity, specialisation and autonomy in 17th-century Dutch art (April 25, 2009)
Category: Calls For Papers [View all]
Posted by: National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin
Deadline: 11/01/08
This conference will focus on three areas. Firstly, the question of urban self-representation will be addressed. How did individual cities and towns construct a distinct identity through images? What were the processes and motivations involved in attaching certain modes of representation and subject matter to particular urban centres? Secondly, the conference intends to examine the rationale behind local tastes and trends. Why did certain (sub)genres emerge and flourish in a given artistic centre at a specific time, and others did not? The third theme will be the validity of approaching seventeenth-century art through the prism of “local schools”. Can the use of such terms as "Haarlem School" or "Delft style" be sustained? Proposals of max 500 words for 25-30 min papers to john.loughman@ucd.ie or awaiboer@ngi.ie by November 1 08.
