Copying, Replicating and Emulating Paintings in the 15th-18th
    Century
National Gallery, Denmark
21-22 May 2012

This is a Call for Papers for the two-day technical art history
conference held at the National Gallery of Denmark on 21-22 May

Inspired by the European project Bosch and Bruegel Four Paintings
Magnified <URL:http://www.bosch-bruegel.com>

this conference aims to explore how art historical and technical
examination of paintings in tandem can address key subjects as
meaning, materials and manufacturing techniques, as well as be a

practices when copying, replicating and emulating paintings in the
fifteenth to eighteenth centuries.

Themes for presentations could be:

    Workshop practice and materials particularly in relation to
    copying and replicating

    Art historical and technical approaches to documentary evidence

    Art historical and technical examination and analysis of
    paintings

    Means of supply, questions of demand, issues of trading

words for oral or poster presentations.
