Summary

Angelo Lo Conte was an Endeavour Postdoctoral Fellow at the Australian Institute of Art History in 2016. He has recently completed his PhD at the University of Melbourne with a thesis on the Procaccini workshop in Milan. His first book, Guida all’arte medievale in Finlandia was published in 2014. Throughout his residency, Angelo investigated the essential role played by prints in the circulation of ideas, discoveries and emotions in seventeenth-century Europe, understanding them as a visual bridge between Northern and Southern European culture. In particular, he focused on the collections of prints by the Sadeler family held at the Baillieu Library. These works shaped the European awareness of archaeological conservation and environmental problems, with the print medium expressing a wave of positive thought originated from the scientific revolution.
