Expert meeting “Drawing Empirical Knowledge in Early Modern Europe” (18 – 19 October 2024)
This expert meeting will be based on conversations around drawings. We will bring together historians of art and science who work with early modern drawings. With short presentations of current research objects (drawings of all kinds), we will discuss how drawings on paper were part of a process of observation, thinking, and communicating. We will specifically look at materials involved, the processes used, the subjects depicted and the draughts(wo)men who produced the drawings.
