This talk will examine the displays of art that travelers encountered on the Grand Tour in Rome and their responses to them.  Exploring the relationship between exhibition strategies and discursive practices, it will consider the experience of art as a kind of social and cultural performance for early modern viewers.

Sponsored by the Mediterranean Studies Research Focus Group of the IHC.
