In Renaissance Italy, magnificence––beauty and generosity of spirit––was among the greatest virtues one could possess. As a highly praised quality, magnificence is credited with inspiring splendid buildings of great technological achievement and exquisite works of art. With magnificence as its theme, this symposium honors Diane Cole Ahl, Arthur J. ’55 and Barbara S. Rothkopf Professor of Art History at Lafayette College and renowned scholar of Italian Renaissance art. In this symposium, colleagues, curators, and former students will give presentations in her honor that celebrate European art and architecture of the fourteenth to eighteenth centuries.
