Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we explore the evolving role of connoisseurship in art history and museums. Once seen as the ultimate skill in identifying artists and their works, connoisseurship faces challenges from new art historical methods and advanced technologies. We examine the balance between traditional expertise, collaborative approaches, and the role of context in understanding art. Through debates on attribution, market pressures, and public engagement, this episode unpacks how we define value, authenticity, and meaning in art today.
