On Tuesday 5 April 2022, the Department of Art and Art History within the Faculty of Arts, via the Late Medieval and Renaissance art studies project led by Dr Charlene Vella, hosted
Professor Donal Cooper (University of Cambridge), for the public lecture titled, 'Virtual futures for Renaissance altarpieces: Interdisciplinary approaches and integrated digital technologies', held at the Aula Prima, University of Malta Valletta Campus.
Professor Cooper discussed how digital technologies can open multiple new opportunities for the reconstruction and visualization of Italian church interiors, the most important arena for the display and reception of the visual arts in the pre-modern period. He then went on to show multiple examples of reconstructed churches through multiple digital technologies, which thus aids
in the recontextualisation of Renaissance spaces, in order to see how they originally looked.
