co-host “Eclecticism at the Edges: Medieval Art and Architecture at the
Crossroads of the Latin, Greek, and Slavic Cultural Spheres,” along with
the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, the
Department of Art & Archaeology, The Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies
with the support of the Stanley J. Seeger Hellenic Fund, the Mary Jaharis
Center for Byzantine Art and Culture, the International Center of Medieval
Art, and the Society of Historians of East European, Eurasian, and Russian
Art and Architecture.



This two-day symposium focuses on the art, history, and culture of Eastern
Europe between the 14th and the 16th centuries .



In response to the global turn in art history and medieval studies,
“Eclecticism at the Edges” explores the temporal and geographic parameters
of the study of medieval art, seeking to challenge the ways in which we
think about the artistic production of Eastern Europe from the fourteenth
through the sixteenth centuries. This event will serve as a long-awaited
platform to examine, discuss, and focus on the eclectic visual cultures of
the Balkan Peninsula and the Carpathian Mountains, the specificities, but
also the shared cultural heritage of these regions. It will raise issues of
cultural contact, transmission, and appropriation of western medieval and
Byzantine artistic and cultural traditions in eastern European centers, and
consider how this heritage was deployed to shape notions of identity and
visual rhetoric in these regions that formed a cultural landscape beyond
medieval, Byzantine, and modern borders.
