“Between Art and Science: Nature and Landscape in Renaissance Painting in Portugal”. This is the subject of an online lecture, by researcher Sónia Talhe Azambuja, organized by the Centro Ciência Viva de Lagos, to be held on April 20, at 18 pm.
The researcher will address two themes that are dear to her and that are present in the book published this year, “Plants, Animals and Landscape. From Iconography to Iconology in Painting in the XNUMXth and XNUMXth Centuries in Portugal – Nature and Painting”.
The invitation to another lecture by Ciência Viva de Lagos came from the work of this researcher who combines several areas of knowledge: Art, Science and History.
«The work recently published in a book by Professor Sónia Talhe Azambuja was very interesting, especially since we have verified that our audience for the lectures has a particular interest in areas of knowledge crossing and intersection», explains Luís Azevedo Rodrigues, director executive of the Centro Ciência Viva de Lagos.
The lecture is free, but registration is required for [email protected]
