Antiquitatum Thesaurus: Antiquities in European Visual Sources from the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
Egypt in Early-Modern Antiquarian Imagery
Digital Workshops on 5 May, 2 June and 7 July 2022
On the occasion of this year’s anniversaries of important milestones in the recent reception of Egypt, the academy project “Antiquitatum Thesaurus” devotes three digital workshops in the summer semester of 2022 to the perception of the land on the Nile in the early-modern period. The focus will be on various personal motivations of some of the protagonists, the antiquarian or scientific methods they used, and a broad spectrum of media in which the engagement with Egyptian or Egyptianizing artifacts and images was reflected from the 15th to the 18th century. In addition, current research projects present their perspectives on the reception of Egypt.
