Palladio from Rome to Baltimore: Symposium Program
|
Registration |
9:00-9:30 am |
|
Morning Session |
9:30 am — Introductions by
Winston Tabb, Sheridan Dean of University Libraries
and Director of JHU Museums
9:35 am — Welcoming remarks by
Stephen Campbell, Chair, Department of the History of Art, Johns Hopkins University
9:45-10:45 am — Vaughan Hart and Peter Hicks,
Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, University of Bath, “Palladio’s Rome”
Palladio’s two 1554 guides to the churches and antiquities of Rome, enormously popular in their time and now neglected, are central to our full appreciation of one of the most celebrated architects of all time. The lecture will examine the significance of these two works to Palladio’s understanding of ancient architecture, and to the meaning of his own work as an architect.
10:45-11:45 am — Guido Beltramini, Director
of the Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio, Vizenza, “Palladio and the Face of Battle: The Illustrated Editions of Julius Caesar and Polybius”
Two years before his death, Palladio produced 42 plates illustrating the battles of Hannibal and Scipio for a proposed edition of Polibius’ historical commentaries. The work was never published and for centuries was thought to be lost. Recent research has documented a copy prepared as a ‘dummy’ for the final printing operation, containing corrections of draft copies and editorial notes written by Palladio. |

Lunch |
11:45-12:30 — Optional buffet lunch, The Garrett-Jacobs Mansion.
Pre-paid ($20) registration required by 3 p.m. April 8 to Patti Boylan:
410-539-6914, ext. 100 or patti@esb.org
12:45-1:15 pm — Curator tours to "Harmony to the Eyes: Charting Palladio's Architecture from Rome to
Baltimore" exhibition at the George Peabody Library.
Location: The George Peabody Library.
Founded in 1796, the Library Company of Baltimore was a private circulating library that made its books available to the city’s elite. Its architectural books, many recently discovered in the collection of the George Peabody Library, may have influenced the development of early Baltimore. |
|
Afternoon Session |
1:30-2:30 pm — Tracy E. Cooper, Tyler School of Art, Temple University, “Palladio’s Publics”
Beginning with his patrons, Palladio has been extraordinarily successful in appealing to diverse groups. The particular character of Palladio, elusive as his image may be, helped gain him such currency and elevated the impact of his ideas and work beyond the norm.
2:30-3:30 pm — Calder Loth, Senior Architectural Historian, Virginia Department of Historic Resources, “Palladio in America”
Andrea Palladio is a name unfamiliar to most Americans, yet this 16th-century Italian has had a far-reaching impact on the architectural image of our country. Even 500 years following his birth, Palladio continues to offer lessons for a civil and timeless architecture.
3:30-4:00 pm — Edward C. Papenfuse, Maryland State Archivist, “Laurence Hall Fowler and the Maryland Hall of Records: The Architect as Archivist and Architectural Historian”
Fowler’s designs for the Maryland Hall of Records combined the classical detail of 18th-century Annapolis architecture with a carefully researched plan for archival storage and retrieval.
