On Wednesday 10 June, h. 10, Hans Brandhorst will introduce the ICONCLASS iconographic classification system, for which he serves as scientific director. ICONCLASS, created by Henri van de Waal in the 1940s and translated into Italian in 2000 under the auspices of the ICCD, was subsequently developed into a digital system and is now being further enhanced through experiments involving artificial intelligence applications (https://iconclass.org/).
The seminar, organized as part of the Digital History Laboratory initiatives, is conceived as a fully interactive event, open to questions, comments, and proposals for collaboration.
It will be held both in the Department’s Seminar Room and online via the link provided in the flyer.
