Similarly, they enlivened private and public spaces in medieval and Renaissance Europe, contributing to presentations of identity, practices of devotion, and promotions of nationhood. Featuring objects made across the continent, the exhibition Living with Sculpture examines the significance of sculpture between 1400 and 1750, an era of profound cultural and social change. Amid war, colonization, religious conflict, philosophical debates, and social stratification, these works of art ornamented homes, altars, libraries, and collections.In connection with the exhibition, this colloquium brings together scholars and curators from around the Northeast to discuss how audiences, patrons, and makers engaged with sculpture in the Middle Ages and early modern period. Ranging from twelfth-century Spain to seventeenth-century Rome, the discussion topics will offer an in-depth examination of making and living with sculpture. The colloquium will include a tour of the exhibition by its Hood Museum curators, Elizabeth Rice Mattison and Ashley Offill. Registration opens at 9:30 am.
