The reception of ancient Greece in Europe through the dialogue between texts et images inside and outside the book (14th-16th century)

University of Caen Normandie-ERC AGRELITA
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, December 15, 2025

This conference aims to explore the literary, artistic, and cultural reception of ancient Greece through the prism of the relationships between texts and images in Europe from the 14th to the 16th century. How are the different visual and textual forms associated in this context? How was the alliance between text and image integrated into the processes of reception of ancient Greece, in the broad sense defined by Lorna Hardwick i.e., both the reception of its knowledge and texts, and the development of representations of ancient Greece? What does the collaboration between literary and visual creation bring to the various forms of reception of ancient Greece?
