Events
The Department of History of Art and Architecture held its Inaugural Alumni Annual Lecture on Wednesday 12th December 2012 in the Emmet Lecture Theatre, Trinity College Dublin. The lecture was delivered by Dr Peter Cherry on: Discovering Velázquez: kudos and cash. Alumni were invited to a pre-lecture reception at 6pm in Room 5083, 5th Floor, Arts Building. Both the reception and lecture were extremely well attended, with staff and alumni reporting a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
Dr Peter Cherry was in the news last year for his attribution to Diego Velázquez of a previously unknown portrait which represents an unidentified middle-aged man in typically austere Spanish costume. It appears to have been painted in the early 1630s, after the artist's return from Rome. The rarity of portraits by Velázquez of individuals outside the royal family make the find doubly important. It was sold at Bonhams London in December for £3m and is now with the New York dealer Otto Naumann.
