4th International Conference, Celle Castle, Germany, 11-13 October 2024

23 speakers from 8 different countries came together in Celle to present individual aspects of portrait miniatures.

Similar to the 2022 symposium, the 2024 conference will cover a wide range of topics:

  • Individual miniaturists, specific workshop contexts, and places of production
  • Use and functions of both court and private types and their protagonists
  • Iconographic aspects in the context of representation or intimacy
  • Evolution of techniques and materials
  • Private and public collections
  • Painting techniques

The symposium was held to coincide with the opening of the eighth exhibition by the Tansey Miniatures Foundation and publication of the accompanying catalogue, "Miniatures from the Romantic Era in the Tansey Collection".
