Răzvan-Iulian Rusu, Graduate Student, Utrecht University, Netherlands
Presented at Krannert Art Museum, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign during the research symposium, Early Modern Global Political Art, October 20-21, 2022. This paper was given Oct 20 in a session titled "Negotiating Political Power in Republics."
Featuring emerging scholarship on the art of this period against the backdrop of the exhibition Fake News & Lying Pictures: Political Prints in the Dutch Republic, Krannert Art Museum hosted a symposium on Early Modern Global Political Art.
The symposium investigated visual media that communicated political ideas, arguments, positions, and forms of resistance in the early modern period. It will be hybrid, blending in person presentations with online presentations via zoom to facilitate greater accessibility and international participation.

Lots of information, clearly given and annotated. It will take some time to digest it all. Thank you, my friend.
