THIBODAUX, La. — Nicholls Professor of Art Dr. Deborah Cibelli presented an art history paper at the Renaissance Society of America’s Virtual 2022 conference hosted by Fordham University in New York City on Dec. 2, 2022.
Dr. Cibelli’s presentation focused on Fracesco Salviati’s use of river gods as emblems in a fresco painted in the 1540s when the Palazzo Vecchio of Florence was being transformed into a ducal residence. The editors of Iconocrazio, an international online journal published by the University of Bari in Italy, have accepted the paper for publication in 2023.
“The research for this project has allowed me to consider the relationship between art and literature. I appreciated the opportunity to present the material in a session with a speaker from Italy and to have the presentation available to RSA members through January 2023,” said Dr. Cibelli.
