The Department had the pleasure of hosting Dott Angelo Crespi, Director General of the Pinacoteca di Brera and Leonardo da Vinci’s Cenacolo. We had the opportunity to discuss Caravaggio scholarship and the strengthening of collaborative projects on Italian seicento art in general.

Three very busy weeks of corrections, boards of examiners, viva voce examinations, discussions with our external examiners on our two programmes of Fine Arts and Art History brought to a close another eventful academic year.

Well done to all our students for their hard work and commitment, we look forward to another academic year!

The Department had the pleasure of welcoming artist Arcangelo Sassolino for continued research on Caravaggio’s enduring influence on contemporary artistic practice and modes of expression. Our ongoing project explores how Caravaggio’s radical engagement with the experiential power of the image continues to impact contemporary artistic discourse and visual culture.
Arcangelo Sassolino and Keith Sciberras are pictured here in front of 'St James' by Giovanni Baglione (NAM Collection), on display in the 'Spirit and Flesh' exhibition at The Casino Maltese in Valletta.
Baglione’s famously complex relationship with Caravaggio, marked by admiration, rivalry, and artistic influence, provided a particularly fitting background for reflecting on questions of critical reception, impact and legacy.

We thank Valletta Campus, The Casino Maltese, and Tonio Mallia and Naomi Bajada Young (St John's Co-Cathedral Foundation) for their assistance.
