DESCRIPTION:Whitworth Studies aims to encourage and support a wide range 
 of research projects between the Whitworth and Art History and Visual St
 udies (AHVS)\, artists\, other parts of the University of Manchester\, a
 nd visiting researchers from other universities.  This research activity
  will result in exhibitions\, conferences\, lecture series\, events\, pe
 rformances\, and research on the Whitworth’s collections.   \n\nInternat
 ionally recognised researchers\, from the University of Manchester and b
 eyond\, will give public lectures and presentations of many kinds\, as w
 ell as artists talking about their work.  \nWhitworth Studies will also 
 encourage experimental encounters with research and experimental forms o
 f presenting research as a signature aspect of its public programme.\n\n
 The Whitworth Studies programme is designed to appeal to the highly enga
 ged Whitworth public\; students with interests in visual culture\; resea
 rchers at all levels who want to stage or present research on visual cul
 ture\; and the wider art community of Manchester and the North West.\n\n
 \n\nSir Nicholas Penny: Raphael’s Rebirth\n\nThursday 23 March\, 5.30pm.
  Free\n\nThe lecture will begin by looking at how Raphael himself was ab
 le to absorb ideas found in the art of the distant and the recent past a
 nd will then explore how prints altered the nature of artistic memory\, 
 explaining how engravings after Raphael’s own paintings and drawings ena
 bled artists from Tintoretto to Picasso to give new life to his inventio
 ns. The variety of these responses is the best testimony we have to Raph
 ael’s genius.\nSir Nicholas Penny has held academic posts at the Univers
 ities of Cambridge\, Manchester\, and Oxford\, where he was Slade Profes
 sor. He is the co-author\, with Francis Haskell\, of Taste and the Antiq
 ue (1984)\, a study of the formation of the canon of classical sculpture
 . Between 1984 and 1989 Penny was keeper of the department of Western ar
 t at the Ashmolean Museum. In 1990 he joined the National Gallery as Clo
 re Curator of Renaissance Painting. In 1991 he identified the Madonna of
  the Pinks as a genuine Raphael\, and not a copy of a lost original as w
 as previously supposed. \n\nIn 2002\, Penny was appointed Senior Curator
  of Sculpture at the National Gallery of Art in Washington\, DC\, before
  becoming Director of the London National Gallery from 2008 to 2015. He 
 was appointed a Knight Bachelor in the Queen’s 2015 Birthday Honours.\n\
