This conference is part of a longstanding collaborative project, created in 2002, which consists in
regularly organizing a symposium aiming to assess the current status of the research on Renaissance
art and culture.

The next conference is to be held in Paris, 10-12 March 2021.
These conferences offer young scholars the occasion to explore and discuss their different research methods and lines of inquiry, and give a comprehensive view of the many different emerging research approaches to architectural history and to the analysis of the relations between architecture and the other visual arts in the Renaissance.
For this edition, the organizers invite submissions that explore the artistic and cultural exchange between France and Germany in the Early modern era (ca.1400-1600) in the European context (Italy, Eastern Europe, Low Countries, etc.).
