Collis Lecture In Byzantine Art: The Cleveland Saint Luke
Sun, 9/30
Saint Luke was both an evangelist and an artist: he wrote one of the four gospels and painted the first portrait of Christ and his mother. The Cleveland Saint Luke, an exquisite portrait of the saint from an eleventh-century manuscript, shows him in a very different guise: as a bureaucrat with the tools of his trade carefully laid out before him. In this lecture, Professor Antony Eastmond, Dean & Deputy Director of the Courtauld Institute of Art at the University of London, will use the portrait as a starting point to consider the nature of originality in Byzantine art. Can bureaucracy drive creativity?
