Séminaire : David Ekserdjian, « God and the Painters : The Altarpiece in the Italian Renaissance », Londres, The Courtauld Institute, 10 décembre 2021, 18h30-20h

“My book The Italian Renaissance Altarpiece: Between Icon and Narrative, came out in June 2021. It is never easy to judge one’s own work, but what I think I have tried to do is to provide a species of taxonomy for Italian renaissance altarpieces and at the same time to explore who – between the patrons, the ecclesiastical authorities, and the artists – actually calls the shots.”
