Während frühere Arbeiten die Silven des Statius entweder unter literaturgeschichtlich-ästhetischen Aspekten betrachteten oder sie als Quelle für historische und sozialwissenschaftliche Studien nahmen, wählt diese Untersuchung einen funktionsgeschichtlichen Zugriff, der dezidiert beide Ansätze vereint und sowohl die Stellung der Silven innerhalb der römischen Literatur als auch ihre Position im Literaturbetrieb am Ende des ersten Jahrhunderts n. Chr. untersucht. Dabei spielt für Meike Rühl vor allem der okkasionelle Charakter der Silven und ihr ausdrücklicher Adressatenbezug eine entscheidende Rolle: Die Silven sind Produkte professionellen Dichtens und werden als solche im Kontext der Interaktion zwischen Dichter und Adressat neu bewertet.

The first exhibition to focus on images of artists from within the Royal Collection, 'Portrait of the Artist' not only show-cases self-portraits by world-renowned artists including Rembrandt, Rubens, Artemisia Gentileschi, Lucian Freud and David Hockney but also features images of artists by their friends, relatives and pupils, including the most reliable surviving likeness of Leonardo da Vinci by his student, Francesco Melzi. Well-known self-portraits intended to advertise the artist's talents will be shown alongside more intimate and personal works. The exhibition will examine a range of themes played out within these objects, from the 'cult' of the artist to the symbolism evoked through images of the artist's studio. The changing status of the artist over the centuries is another theme and the way in this is conveyed, both in the physical works and in the relationships between artist and patron will be highlighted. The role of monarchs in commissioning, collecting and displaying portraits of artists will also be discussed.
