Printing on Stone Surfaces In Late Renaissance Italy: Indestructible Art or Aesthetic Innovation
Beginning around 1530, at about the same time that artists started to paint pictures on copper, they also began to use natural stone surfaces to make very small but beautiful pictures for private owners.
Dr. Mann has been researching this phenomenon for several years. Her lecture will explain the original reasons for artists to select stone and how attitudes to the stone surface changed during the 16th century.
Dr. Mann, one of the Fine Arts Society's most popular lecturers, is curator of Early European Art at the St. Louis Art Museum.
When and where to hear this lecture: Thursday, November 10, 2011, at 10:00 A.M. at the Lakeview Museum, 1125 W. Lake Ave., Peoria, Illinois.
