Venue: Multifunction Room, Ian Potter Museum of Art
Presenters: Dr Christopher R. Marshall, Dr Gerard Vaughan
Join Dr Gerard Vaughan AM, Director, National Gallery of Australia for the Melbourne launch of Baroque Naples and the Industry of Painting: The World in the Workbench by Dr Christopher R. Marshall.
In Baroque Naples and the Industry of Painting, Marshall presents a new reading of 17th-century Italian Baroque art that explores the social, material, and economic history of painting, revealing how artists, agents, and the owners of artworks interacted to form a complex and mutually sustaining art world. Through such topics as artistic rivalry and anti-foreign labour agitation, art dealing and forgery, cultural diplomacy, and the rise of the independently arranged art exhibition, Christopher R. Marshall illuminates the rich interconnections between artistic practice and patronage, business considerations, and the spirit of entrepreneurialism in Baroque Italy.
Baroque Naples and the Industry of Painting is available for purchase online through Yale University Press.
Presented in partnership with the Australian Institute of Art History.
FREE. All welcome. RSVP essential.
