My plan to see the actual painting in the flesh *before* giving the paper fell through - but it’s still a thrill to see it afterwards! #Glover#Diana#Actaeon#ClassicalReception
Today I’m travelling to Canberra to present on the incoherent classicism of John Glover’s 1837 painting, The Bath of Diana, Van Diemen’s Land. It’s been a pleasure co-writing this paper with @Grae_Miles.
This is part of reception conference hosted by @anu_classics – Reception, Susception, Acceptation: the Use and Re-use of Classical Studies. Keynotes by the wonderful @AlastairBlan @MMJ722 Simon Perris, and Tracey Walters.
