We are currently inviting proposals for papers for the conference 'Zooming In and Out: Reconsidering Hans Memling', with a submission deadline of 30 March 2025.
The aim of the conference is to highlight and stimulate new interdisciplinary research on the painter by leading and new scholars in the field. We welcome papers that ‘zoom in’ (case studies of individual paintings) and focus on subjects like attribution, organisation of the workshop, or patronage, but we also invite studies that ‘zoom out’, by addressing broader cultural historical and historiographical issues, and everything in between—as long as the main focus of your paper is Hans Memling and/or his oeuvre. Contributions may draw upon a variety of disciplines, including (technical) art history, social and cultural history, conservation and conservation science.
We invite proposals for 25-minute papers, preferably in English, or in French.
Proposals should be submitted by Sunday 30 March 2025 at the latest via the online form. Each submission must consist of a single PDF file with the following components:
Selection criteria: Proposals will be evaluated based on relevance, clarity, novelty, and contribution to the field. We seek papers that reflect critically on the source material and methodologies employed. We welcome proposals from scholars at all stages of their academic careers, including final-year master’s students, graduate students, early career researchers and established scholars.
Submission deadline: 30 March 2025
Notification of acceptance: end of April 2025
