Talk in Brussels on Giovanni Battista Lusieri, Elgin’s agent in Athens
The inaugural lecture organised the Belgian Committee for the Reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures
Tatiana Poulou of the Greek Ministry of Culture is giving a lecture in Brussels on Sunday, January 21, 2018 at 14:30. The talk is on Giovanni Battista Lusieri who was Lord Elgin’s agent in Athens. Although Lusieri was charged with documenting Elgin’s actions, most of his works from that period were destroyed in a ship wreck off the coast of Crete (not the Mentor – Elgin’s ship, but the Cambria, some years later).
I’ve heard Tatiana speak previously in Athens and would recommend this talk to anyone interested in the Parthenon Marbles or Greek History from this period.
For further information view the Invitation to talk in Brussels.
