Curator Talk: Imperial Splendor: The Art of the Book in the Holy Roman Empire, ca. 800–1500: A Virtual Gallery Talk

Friday, October 29, 2021, 3 PM EST | Morgan Library & Museum

Join Joshua O'Driscoll, Assistant Curator of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts, for a virtual tour of the exhibition Imperial Splendor: The Art of the Book in the Holy Roman Empire, ca. 800–1500, which offers a sweeping overview of manuscript production in the Holy Roman Empire. As the first major presentation of this subject in the English-speaking world, Imperial Splendor introduces visitors to fundamental aspects of this history, including how artists developed a visual rhetoric of power, the role of the aristocratic elite in the production and patronage of manuscripts, and the impact of Albrecht Dürer and humanism on the arts of the book.

Curating Art of the Global Middle Ages, DVMA Fall Meeting, September 25, 2021, 1-4 PM

Delaware Valley Medieval Association (DVMA) virtual meeting.
 
The event will feature curator-scholars and professor-curators who have engaged with the question of how to exhibit works of art in ways that foreground the intellectual and ethical dimensions of a global perspective on the middle ages.
 
The meeting will be run as a Zoom webinar, and registration is open now. The speakers are prerecording short talks discussing their recent and current curatorial work. Some of the talks are available already, and the rest should be ready for viewing by the end of August. The meeting will entail a roundtable discussion (1-3pm) followed by a discussion about curatorial careers in medieval art (3-4pm). Information about all this, links to register, etc. can be found on the event website here: https://curatingartoftheglobalmiddleages.blogs.brynmawr.edu/
 
While the Zoom Webinar format will not accommodate questions from the floor, the website allows for submitting questions in advance via the event website. The prerecorded talks can be incorporated into courses this fall, with an assignment culminating in a class devising one or more questions to submit.
 
 
Speakers:
Elizabeth Williams, Curator, Dumbarton Oaks
