To celebrate the forthcoming publication of Simon Carter’s Artists’ Corner of St Paul’s Cathedral (February 2023), the third and final Pantheons conference takes place in the Wren Suite of St Paul’s Cathedral on Monday December 12th from 14:00 to 16:30 GMT.
The conference takes the form of a roundtable symposium, in which five scholars each speak, for five minutes each, about a single monument to a famous artist or architect commemorated in the Cathedral. St Paul’s is, perhaps, best known as the Parish Church of the British Empire, but a wide variety of people are commemorated at the Cathedral, artists one of the most significant groups represented there.
The subjects commemorated range from influential industrial architect John Rennie through children’s book illustrator Randolph Caldecott to Royal Academy painters J.M.W. Turner, Frederic Leighton, and John Singer Sargent, in forms ranging from ledgers and portrait statues through tomb effigies and Symbolist murals, to a crucifix.
Following the roundtable will be an opportunity to visit the monuments under discussion and the remainder of Artists’ Corner in the Cathedral Crypt.
Tea and coffee will be provided.
For further details and to book, visit the Pantheons project website.
