CONF: The Twelve Caesars: Images of Power from Ancient Rome to Salvador Dalí (Mellon Lectures)

Richard Campbell sent this one along; really a series of lectures rather than a conference per se … from a page at the National Gallery of Art:

 

The Sixtieth A. W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts

The A. W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts were established by the National Gallery of Art’s Board of Trustees in 1949 “to bring to the people of the United States the results of the best contemporary thought and scholarship bearing upon the subject of the Fine Arts.”
