Ort: Cappella Niccolina, Vatican Apostolic Palace
This field seminar complements the research seminar presented by Livia Lupi, The Agency of Architectural Settings – Invention, Time and Place in Fra Angelico's Nicholas V Chapel , addressing mainly doctoral and postdoctoral fellows. The debate will focus on Lupi's studies on the role of architecture in the fresco cycle by Fra Angelico. An on-site analysis of the chapel, which is normally closed to the public, will offer an opportunity to better understand Fra Angelico's use of the space and the way he integrated his fictive architectural structures within it. It will also clarify the chapel's position within the papal apartments, opening discussion about accessibility and function. [mehr]
