Friday 11 DecemberDoorways to Christmas: An Art Historian’s Advent Calendar
Speaker: Dr. Conny Bailey
Art works: Maratta Annunciation and Madonna and Child with Lantern by Unknown artist
From the sudden appearance of an angel to the frozen landscapes of northern Europe.
Drawing on works with clear Christmas associations alongside some more surprising choices, this illustrated lecture explores familiar traditions and celebrations, but also themes of hardship, generosity, faith and human experience. Looking beyond the surface of the artworks, it reveals the stories, symbolism and social commentary that give these images their meaning, offering a fresh and sometimes unexpected perspective on Christmas in art.
