On March 11 at 6 pm (CET), the Dutch Institute for Art History (NIKI) in Florence invites you to a hybrid lecture — available both in person and online — on Plautilla Nelli’s “Holy Conversations”. Hosted by Jane Adams and Dr. Catherine Turrill-Lupi, this talk delves into the life and art of Plautilla Nelli, the pioneering 16th-century Florentine painter and nun renowned for her devotional works. The session focuses on a group of small panel paintings — traditionally called sacra conversazione — now attributed to Nelli and sheds light on her prolific workshop at the Dominican convent of Santa Caterina da Siena. Attendees will gain insight into how these intimate religious compositions reveal the artistic practices and collaborative production of one of the Renaissance’s most compelling female artists.
