"Facing Objects. Renaissance Bust Portraits and the Case of Simon of Trent"
Jeanette Kohl of the University of California, Riverside, will speak on the intersection of social history, religious difference, and portraiture in the Italian Renaissance. The lecture derives from a book project exploring the forms and functions of bust portraits in their typological, cultural, and aesthetic aspects.
This Program is organized by the Department of Art History.
