To celebrate the forthcoming publication of Simon Carter’s Artists’ Corner of St Paul’s Cathedral (February 2023), the third and final Pantheons conference takes place on 12th December. Simon Carter is the Head of Collections at St Paul's Cathedral. 

The conference takes the form of a symposium. Five scholars will speak for five minutes each about a monument to a famous artist or architect commemorated in the Cathedral. 

The people commemorated include the influential industrial architect John Rennie, children’s book illustrator Randolph Caldecott and Royal Academy painters J.M.W. Turner, Frederic Leighton, and John Singer Sargent.
