Conference on British Romantic Art and Europe
A conference on “British Romantic Art and Europe” was held at the Courtauld Institute, London, on 12, 13, and 14 December 1974, coinciding with the Turner exhibition at the Royal Academy. Five sessions were scheduled for the conference: three to discuss the relationship between British art and Italy, Germany, and France respectively; one devoted exclusively to the Turner exhibition; one to encompass archival material, photographic schemes, and other tools of research relevant to the subject. Each session was to include three half-hour papers given by invited speakers, followed by a discussion and brief contributions from two or three research students working in the field. Scheduled speakers were: David Irwin, Basil Skinner, and Francis Haskell on “Italy”; David Bindman, William Vaughan, and Rüdiger Joppien[e] on “Germany”; Michael Kitson on “France.”
