International Conference

New Research on Guido Reni

June 15th & 16th

After numerous initiatives devoted to the paintings of the great Bolognese master, the Guido Reni exhibition at the Museo Nacional del Prado, in conjunction with this International Congress, is an excellent opportunity to explore the scientific, historic and artistic contexts in which his life took place.

Starting with the inaugural lecture by Elizabeth Cropper, a specialist in Bolognese painting and 17th-century art literature, the congress will address Guido Reni´s training in Bologna and Rome, his figure in art theory and literature, new reflections on the catalogue of his works and his creative process, his posthumous fortune in modern collecting and contemporary historiography.

Activity

In Memoriam. Charles Dempsey (1937-2022)

Renowed specialist in Renaissance and Italian Baroque art, Charles Dempsey was professor emeritus in the Department of Art History at John Hopkins University.

He obtained his doctorate at Princeton University under the supervision of Erwin Panofsky, inheriting a methodology rooted in the German and Italian historiographical traditions. His research on the 17th-century Bolognese school has set a completely new direction, examining the figures of the artists in relation to their cultural and social context, also connecting literary poetics with artistic style. His publications include The early Renaissance and vernacular culture (2012), Annibale Carracci and the Beginnings of Baroque style (2000) and Nicolas Poussin: friendship and the love of painting (1996 - with Elizabeth Cropper).
