Her paper today is related to research undertaken for a forthcoming book entitled Animal Sightings: Art\, Animals\, and Court Cu lture\, 1400-1550\, which is scheduled to be published by Penn State Uni versity Press in 2025.\n\n\n\nIn-person\, with live-streaming for remote attendees on the Fondazione Cini YouTube channelCoffee break at 16.00\, preceding the eventLecture and q&\;a 17.00–18.30Introductions by L uca Massimo Barbero (Director of the Institute of Art History\, Fondazio ne Cini) and Tenley Bick (ºÚË¿¹ú²úÔÚÏß President)Aperitivo and cocktails in the c loisters from 18.30–20.00 URL;VALUE=URI:/events/2023-ias-kress-le cture-in-italy-venice/ UID:urn:uuid:f8b6f966-a506-43f1-96a8-d0fc85f2fe1f STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20240905T142225Z DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20230630T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20230630T170000 LOCATION:Sala Barbantini\, Fondazione Cini\, Venice END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
