The international symposium will accompany the exhibition of the same name at the Georgia Museum of Art. The works included in this show date from 1660 to 1917 and were passed from one generation to the next in the same Russian aristocratic family the Princes Belosselsky-Belozersky who trace their origins to the legendary founder of the medieval state of Kievan Rus’ the Viking Prince Riurik of Jutland (reign 862-879). In 862 Riurik bestowed on one of his two brothers the vast Belozersky (“White Lake”) domain in Northeastern Europe, hence the dynastic name. For centuries thefamily crest has included a motto referring to an honorable singleness ofmind and action, a quote from the Book of Prophet Jeremiah 32:39—“One heart, one way.” PROGRAMSponsors:Willson Center for Humanities and ArtsLamar Dodd School of ArtGeorgia Museum of Art This event is organized in conjunction with the eponymous exhibition on display atThe Georgia Museum of Art(July 20, 2018–January 6, 2019) Friday, September 21Visit to the galleries and coffee reception, 4:00 pmGeorgia Museum of Art, 90 Carlton Street, The University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602 Keynote Lecture:, 5:30 p.m.Room S100, Lamar Dodd School of Art, 270 River Road Shouky Shaheen Distinguished Lecturer in the Arts,2018“A Façade for the Emperor: Saint Petersburg Architectural Fashion of the 1840s and Its Trendsetters”Sergey KuznetsovProfessor of art history, State University of Saint PetersburgDirector of research, The Stroganoff Palace, Russian Museum, Saint Petersburg Session One: Saturday, September 22, 9:30 a.m.M.
