The Making of an Exhibition: Inventing Nature. Leonardo, Arcimboldo, Caravaggio

Dr Barbara Furlotti and Prof Guido Rebecchini discuss the making of a Renaissance exhibition exploring changing ideas about nature, art and scientific inquiry.

The speakers draw on their experience curating Palazzo Te’s Inventing Nature exhibition, tracing ideas about the natural world through sixteenth-century collecting, artistic production and emerging science. The discussion covers the objects and displays used to connect nature as a generative force with its study and representation.
