The Artl@s Lectures for the 2023-2024 academic year focus on "Narrowing the Divide: A Dialogue between Art History and Digital Art History." Digital Art History is emerging as a distinct discipline but faces challenges in generating meaningful insights due to a gap between computational methods and traditional analysis. Art historians often lack technical skills in the digital realm. To bridge this gap, the series aims to foster collaboration between Digital Art History specialists and traditional art historians, encouraging dialogue and understanding of computational methods in art history research.

I sincerely thank Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel and Nicola Carboni for allowing me, together with Clarisse Bardiot, to be part of this exciting lecture series.
