A many-headed beast that emerged from the (supposed) civilising, enlightened spirit of the Napoleonic Revolution, Charlie will discuss the inception and concept of the Biennale in 1895 when cultural tourism events were springing up around Europe. Attracting a crowd of 224,000 visitors, and only pausing during the two world wars, the Venice Biennale has become […]

This talk examines the mutual benefits that art and medical science have bestowed upon one another; it refers, as one would expect, to the art of great Renaissance masters such […] |

We are all so familiar with the ideas and culture of the Italian Renaissance, a phenomenon that emerged in the 15th century. But why did Florence act as the midwife for this evolution?
