Journées d’étude : “The Global Baroque: European Material Culture between Conquest, Trade and Mission, 1600-1750”, King’s Manor, University of York, du 10 au 11 juillet 2025

The period of Western art history known as “the Baroque” has traditionally been interpreted as a stylistic phenomenon. However, artistic production in Europe circa 1600–1750 was enabled by a proto-industrial world system dominated by Spain and Portugal, the Netherlands and later Britain. As a result, material culture became entangled in networks of trade, colonial rule and Catholic global mission stretching from Naples to Nagasaki. This conference will broaden perspectives on the Baroque, embracing its transcontinental and multimedia character. By culturally decentring Europe and with materiality a special focus, the programme will recast the continent as a constituent part of an expanding artistic world driven by war, the exploitation of ecosystems and the first information technology revolution. Bringing together scholars and museum curators from the UK and internationally, the conference will demonstrate how objects can offer intimate insights into global histories often characterised by vast, impersonal economic forces.

Convenors: Adam Sammut (University of York) and Tomasz Grusiecki (Boise State University).
