Journée d’étude : Ut pictura medicina? Visual Arts and Medicine, Salzbourg/en ligne, 11-13 Nov 2021

Organisation: Robert Brennan (Sydney), Fabian Jonietz (München/Florenz), Romana Sammern (Salzburg)

This conference investigates the relationship between medicine and art on all levels: the social position of practitioners, the exchange of theoretical and practical knowledge, the existence of shared nomenclature and concepts, and the concomitant tendency toward shared modes of observation and description. In order to better understand the parallel establishment of the two disciplines, the event will focus on early modernity, while also encompassing a broader time frame – from the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century – so as to cast the transitional status of the period into sharper relief.
