The Neoclassical Revival in MaltaBY HILARY SPITERI
Late 18th and early 19th Century academical drawings, paintings
and sculptures, produced in Malta and abroad, following
the Neoclassical stylistic trends prevailing across Europe.
The series of lectures will provide an insight on the history of the
rise and decline of the Malta School of Design during the British
administration and discusses it in a meaningful art historical
context. The prevailing artistic currents (Neoclassicism, Purism
and Pre-Raphaelistes) will be discussed and availed to broaden
and adjust our perspective of the artistic scenario of early
British Malta and to show how, in spite of the decline in o!cial
patronage, the University, succeeded in providing Malta with a
respectable art academy. This was not an anticlimax but a new
beginning and a benchmark development in Maltese Art History.
Born in 1982, Hilary Spiteri, nurtured his love
for Art from an early age. In fact, in 1990,
aged eight, he won first prize in the Malta
National Annual Art Competition. In 2000 he
enrolled for a Bachelor of Arts degree course
in Art at the University of Malta, graduating in
2003. At the same time, he followed courses
focusing on nude drawing, fresco techniques
and printing techniques at the University
of Malta. In 2008, Mr Spiteri obtained a
Master’s degree in Art specialising in Artistic
Pedagogy, the Neoclassical movement
and 19th century art academies in Europe.
Throughout his Master’s course Spiteri
conducted research abroad, especially in
Rome. In 2011, Spiteri has contributed to the
Art History scene through his publication
‘Academic Artistic Training in Early British
Malta’ (Allied Publications). Furthermore,
he developed the art of photography as a
medium of expression and artistic fullfilment.
His works of art are found in private
collections in Malta and abroad and he has
produced illustrations for literary works
and educational publications. Mr Spiteri is
currently head of the Art Department at De
La Salle College Sixth Form and lectures Art,
Art History and Systems of Knowledge.
