Thursday 19 and Friday 20 July 2012
Tate Britain, Clore Auditorium 10.00 –17.45
Plenary Speakers: Mary Favret, Gillian Russell, Susan Siegfried, Paul White
In July 2012, in advance of commemorations of the bicentenary of the Battle of Waterloo, Tate Britain will be hosting a two-day conference exploring the profound impact of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars on visual cultures from the outbreak
of pan-European conflict in 1792 to the present day. This international event will gather speakers from a range of disciplines and will foster knowledge and understanding of the ways in which the ‘First Total War’ has been mediated in visual cultures in Britain and continental Europe and throughout the world.
Organised by Satish Padiyar (The Courtauld Institute of Art), Phil Shaw (University of Leicester), and Philippa Simpson (Royal Museums Greenwich) for the Tate Research Centre: British Romantic Art
