DESCRIPTION:Two-day conference organised by the 'Making Visible' project a
 t CRASSH. \n\n16 July 2018\, 09:00 - 17:30\n17 July 2018\, 09:00 - 12:45\n
 \nThe aim of this workshop is to explore the connections and networks with
 in the wider visual worlds of the members of the early Royal Society (c. 1
 660-c.1710). Royal Society Fellows such as John Evelyn\, Samuel Pepys\, Th
 omas Povey\, and William Aglionby were enthusiastic collectors of art\, in
 cluding prints\, and were familiar with Continental collections and art th
 eoretical works. They interacted frequently with printers\, instrument mak
 ers and craftsmen\, attended auctions\, and made a point of donating portr
 aits to the Society.  How did
 first-hand experience and appreciation of
  art\, artistic skills and collections affect the way members of the Socie
 ty approached and judged images and objects of knowledge? How did their en
 gagement with the visual worlds around them compare with their Continental
  counter-parts? We hope to bring together historians of science\, art\, co
 llections\, and print culture in order to bridge the artificial and unhelp
 ful differentiation of ‘artist’ and ‘scientific’ images in this pe
 riod.\n\nSpeakers: Alexander Marr\, Matthew Walker\, Rebekah Higgitt\, Hen
 rietta McBurney Ryan\, Sietske Fransen\, Kate Bennett\, Karin Leonhard & E
 lisa von Minnigerode\, Spike Bucklow\, Andrew Burnett\, Frances Hughes\, K
