Join us for a one-hour virtual workshop exploring the new resources website for the Early History of the Accademia di San Luca research project, dedicated to the first century of the artists’ academy in Rome. Learn how to navigate hundreds of early modern notarial documents, as well as historical maps and guidebooks, with the project’s team. Hear more about the project and its recent transformations. No expertise necessary—we welcome your questions and curiosity.

Initiated in 2007, this project is a collaboration between the National Gallery’s Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts and the Archivio di Stato di Roma and the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca.

The horizon line is high with land and water meeting in the distance. A bridge spans over the edge of the falls to the left. The brushstrokes are smooth, capturing the water's movement. The color palette consists of aquamarine, turquoise, white, and subtle earthy tones for the rocks and bridge. Red and beige star shapes add decoration. The sky is clear blue.
