Milan and Naples

Monday 19 February 2018
(11am - 4.30pm) - Brockway Room, Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL
- Lecturers: Paula Nuttall and Geoffrey Nuttall
Continuing our series on Renaissance City States this course will consider Milan and Naples. Milan under the Visconti and Sforza, and Naples under the Angevins and Aragonese, were the two largest and most powerful princely states of early Renaissance Italy. Politically and culturally linked to France and Spain, these courts produced a rich mix of international artistic styles, melded with the latest Italian Renaissance ideas, exemplified by Pisanello, Leonardo da Vinci and Bramante.
Further information about the structure and contents of the day will be sent after confirmation of a reserved place.
Tea and coffee will be provided during morning and afternoon breaks.
