Seminar in the History of Collecting: Baroque Neapolitan art in English Grand-Tour collections

This talk aims to provide an overview of the history of collecting Baroque Neapolitan art in England from 1680s to 1800s, a period when many English artists and collectors travelled to Naples during the Grand Tour. Based on Alessia Attanasio’s PhD research, it will introduce artists from the Kingdom of Naples who enjoyed considerable success among English patrons, demonstrating how the Grand Tour influenced the market for Baroque Neapolitan art — not just for the newly discovered antiquities in Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabiae. Alessia Attanasio is an Italian art historian and PhD researcher at the University of Birmingham, focusing on Baroque Neapolitan art that was collected in England during the Grand Tour (1680s–1820s).
