Conférence : Patricia Rubin, « Titian and the ‘Ethiop’s Ear’ », Florence, I Tatti, 22 février 2024

Thursday, February 22, 2024, 6:00pm to 7:30pm Speaker: Patricia Rubin (Institute of Fine Arts, New York) With a small, but significant or rather signifying detail – pink earrings – Titian colour-coded the Africans in his paintings. This consistent marking out of difference refers, however, to fluid and fluctuating concepts of Africa and that continent’s inhabitants.
