Another web seminar on the research project Michel Sittow in the North? Altarpieces in Dialogue took place on 8 June, organised by the research team of the Art Museum of Estonia. This time, the meeting focused on Tallinn as a medieval art centre and the masters who were active here. The main focal point of the seminar was the Bollnäs altarpiece.
The international research project of the Niguliste Museum Michel Sittow in the North? Altarpieces in Dialogue is under way and the wings of the Passion Altarpiece (ca 1515–1520) were taken for conservation from the Niguliste Museum to the Kumu Art Museum that houses the conservation studios of the Art Museum of Estonia.
At the end of February, the first international web meeting of the research project Michel Sittow in the North? Altarpieces in Dialogue took place. Nearly 30 art historians and specialists from Estonia, Sweden, Germany, Belgium, Norway, Spain and Finland participated. The goal of the event was to present the starting points and work plans of the project.
Recently, Michael Imhof Verlag, the famous German publishing house, issued an anthology of the presentations made at the scientific conference called “Indifferent Things? Objects and Images in Post-Reformation Churches in the Baltic Sea Region”, which took place in 2017 at the Niguliste Museum, a branch of the Art Museum of Estonia. The book of the same name, which was edited by Krista Kodres, Merike Kurisoo and Ulrike Nürnberg, is comprised of 14 scientific articles by renowned northern European art historians.
