The Natural World: Pagan and Christian…
" ‘Nature’ is a concept devised by pagan Greeks in the sixth century BC. Pagan art, literature, philosophy and life responded in many ways to animals, flowers, landscapes and weather in what they regarded as the natural world. Christianity then transformed ways in which artists, poets, worshippers and thinkers looked on these items, introducing ideas of Paradise and the Last Judgement. This lecture examines this transformation and its continuing effects on artists and thinkers in the modern world.”Robin Lane Fox

José Pedro Pérez-Llorca Conference
The José Pedro Pérez-Llorca Conference, established as a tribute to the man who chaired the Royal Board of Trustees of the Museo Nacional del Prado between 2012 and 2019 and maintained a very committed personal and professional relationship with this institution, is programmed by the Centro de Estudios as an annual appointment with the classical world and the culture of classicism.
