SUMMARY:Competing Truths: Art and the Objects of History after the C
 ouncil of Trent
DESCRIPTION:Competing Truths: Art and the Objects of History After the C
 ouncil of Trent is a two-day symposium to be jointly held a
 t the Italian Academy and the Frick Collection on November 
 15th & 16th\, 2019. The event will bring together scholars an
 d museum professionals in order to investigate how Italian 
 art helped to formulate competing truths in the long afterm
 ath of the Council of Trent\, and how the strategies of that
  era continue to affect our understanding of historical tru
 th today. Italian art of this period is often dismissed as 
 propagandistic and derivative. This symposium instead foster
 s recent scholarship that shows the potency of art in shap
 ing people’s beliefs during a time of deep political and 
 spiritual divisions. Understanding how images and objects g
 ive shape to history and knowledge has never been more urge
 nt. Thus\, the aim of the symposium is not merely to advance
  scholarship\, but to meet an acute contemporary need for pe
 rspective on how to navigate an era of competing truths.
