The Place of the Antique in Early Modern Europe
This exhibition and its accompanying catalogue endeavor to highlight the various contexts in which antiquity served as an inspiration: from the use of Ovidian myth to influence on religious practices, antiquarian and proto-scientific scholarship, and the papal banquet. The catalogues essays show how antiquity (or a particular historical conception of antiquity) influenced a range of artistic production in Europe during the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries.
