Subject: CONF: Dynamics of Mediterranean Artistic Interaction (Valletta, 10 Apr 19)
Valletta campus, University of Malta, Malta, April 10, 2019
“Dynamics of Mediterranean Artistic Interaction in the Late Medieval and Renaissance Periods” will once again be the theme of the second edition of the international conference being organised by the University of Malta’s Department of Art and Art History to be held on the afternoon of Wednesday 10th April 2019 at the Auditorium of the University of Malta Valletta Campus.
This conference will bring together local and distinguished foreign art historians who specialise on Medieval and Renaissance aspects relating to Mediterranean art and culture and provide a unique opportunity for ideas to be exchanged.
The papers will deal with, but will not be limited to, Malta, Sicily, Crete, Cyprus and Venice, and thus help to better comprehend the transfer of knowledge and art in the Middle Ages and Early Modern period in the Mediterranean.
