Public talk by Prof. Carmel Mallia
The relationship between disease and works of art is an intriguing study, detecting medical conditions that would be present in the sitter and faithfully reproduced by the artist. The artist himself might be suffering from physical or psychological conditions which affect his works. Identifying these traits in famous and less-known paintings has been the focus of fascinating detective work on the part of Prof. Carmel Mallia, Professor in Medicine, University of Malta, who will share his discoveries on Tuesday 17th November at 6.30pm at the Italian Cultural Institute, St George’s Square, Valletta.
