April 26-27: International Conference: Rulers on Display: Tombs and Epitaphs of Princes & the Well-Born in Northern Europe 1470-1670

DATE:
April 26-27, 2019

PLACE:
Emmanuel College Room 302
75 Queen’s Park Crescent
University of Toronto
Toronto Canada

During the sixteenth and seventeenth century princes and the nobility found tomb sculpture an effective means of refashioning their identity and promoting their interests in a rapidly changing society. Enormous funds were spent on these monuments, either by the occupants themselves or by their heirs, for whom the sepulchers became a generalized marker of family status. Epitaphs were also fashioned of words, penned in ink and published as well as engraved in stone. Poetical tributes and eulogies to rulers gave them another type of public persona. For this conference we wish to focus on the agency of these creations in the social and political arena of Northern Europe and Iberia.
