Tuesday, 3 November 2026, 6:00 PM | Constanza Beltrami (Stockholm University), Thinking, Writing, and Editing Iberian Art on the Move

Abstract: This event introduces the volume Art, Travel, and Exchange between Iberia and Global Geographies, c. 1400–1550 (Brill, 2025), co-edited by Costanza Beltrami and Sylvia Alvares Correa. Spanning 13 chapters by international scholars in art history and conservation science, the book explores different media, regions, and processes of exchange to interrogate Iberia’s position as a diffuse and interconnected artistic centre. The presentation offers a critical reflection on the book’s genesis and argument, and ideas for new directions of travel in the field of Iberian studies.
