October 3, 4 – 5 pm | Art Building
Professor of Art History Estelle Lingo continues the Colloquia Series highlighting pan-European experiments with Caravaggism in the seventeenth century. These experiments produced a new type of image that operated outside the conventions of linear perspective and invoked widespread critical attack. The rapid foreclosure of Caravaggism thus constitutes a significant and revealing episode for probing the historical investments of the Western artistic tradition.
