Call for posters--Conference on technical art history

Call for posters

International Conference

"Technology and Practice: Studying the European Visual Arts
    1800-1850: Paintings, Sculpture, Interiors and art on Paper"
National Museum of Denmark
15-16 June 2016.

This call for posters is for a two-day Technical Art History
conference to be held by the Centre for Art Technological Studies
and Conservation (CATS) at the National Museum of Denmark on 15-16
June 2016.

The conference will be focusing on artists' techniques and
materials, written sources, conservation science, the history of
science and technology, history of trade, and innovation of artists'
materials during the first half of the 19th century.  In the
preceding several decades a succession of art academies emerged
throughout Europe, and another focal point of the conference will be
the impact of these institutions on a new generation of artists,
examining how this manifested itself in their Paintings, Sculpture,
Interiors and Art on Paper.

The conference language will be English, and the deadline for the
poster abstract is 16 May 2016.

Further details of the conference programme, registration and
additional practical information is available on
