Review and New PerspectivesChaired by : Fernando Checa. Complutense University of Madrid, Department of Art History II (Early Modern)This section seeks to broaden knowledge and explore new, fundamentally methodological approaches to sources and documents associated with art from the Early Modern Era and its relations to the Spanish Monarchy, the latter understood as a vast intercontinental cultural setting that extended far beyond strictly Iberian or peninsular limits. This involves understanding not only the "treatises" and theoretical or historical sources customarily included in the traditional field of "Kunstliteratur," but also a broader spectrum that runs from inventories and correspondence through descriptions of artworks, including travelogues, descriptions of celebratory events, etc., as well as poetical and creative literature.10.00-10.30Fuentes festivas habsbúrgicas en un imperio de cortesVíctor Mínguez Cornelles, Universitat Jaume I, Castellón10.30-11.00Los inventarios y la primera globalización : el caso portuguésNuno Senos, Centro de História d'Aquém e d'Além-Mar – CHAM, Universidade Nova de Lisboa11.00-11.30From weapons to relics.

Museo Nacional del PradoThis section studies collecting in the Habsburg court from the perspective of where the artworks were actually exhibited. The emphasis is not so much on the physical characteristics of such spaces as on how their decoration was influenced by these characteristics and by the spaces' use. Equally cogent will be the manner in which changes in the use of such spaces led to modifications in their decoration, and how a "rhetoric of place" was established in Habsburg palaces and other associated spaces.15.30-16.00Mercedes Simal : Title to be confirmed16.00-16.30José M.

University of Valladolid, Department of Early Modern HistoryIn this section, we are interested in who had access, and in what manner, to the collections of any sort of artworks at the royal seats, palaces, viceregal capitals, and even the homes of noble families (to the degree that they competed with or emulated royalty). We will also focus on the functional and formal organization of such visits, both as individual events and as part of other activities. In sum, this section delves into the regulation of the visibility and "reading" of artworks in the context of courtly culture, recognizing their role in projecting power (pomp and propaganda) and their evaluation (taste) during the 16th and 17th centuries.10.00-10.30Ver en palacio: el acceso a la imagen en las cortes virreinales de ItaliaCarlos J.

The Display of the Royal CollectionsChaired by : Peter Cherry. Trinity College Dublin, Department of History of Art and ArchitectureThis section will examine the role of paintings in Habsburg interiors. Consideration will be given to physical circumstances of display and the factors which governed the arrangement of pictures in different spaces, such as their authorship, subject matter, size, visibility, and conditions of lighting. Particular attention will be paid to pictures as material objects, in terms of their support and medium, types of framing and coverings, and the relevance of inscriptions. Their relationships with other aspects of interior decoration and furnishings will also feature prominently in this inquiry.15.30-16.00The king's portrait in royal palacesDiane Bodart, Columbia University16.00-16.30Reconstructing la "pieza del despacho de verano": Problems and PossibilitiesThierry Greub, Scientific Researcher at the Internationales Kolleg Morphomata at the University of Cologne16.30-17.00 Coffe-break17.00-17.30"Mercury", reconsideredJulia Vázquez, Columbia University17.30-18.00Beyond Exotica.
