Attention all art history lovers! Dr. Cecily J. Hilsdale will talk on the subject of Byzantine art this Thursday, Jan. 14, at 5 p.m. in room S150 of the Lamar Dodd School of Art. Her lecture, titled “The Imperial Image and the End of Exile: Byzantine Art and the Restoration of Constantinople (1261),” will discuss images of the Emperor during the years of exile, which occurred between the crusaders’ conquests of Constantinople in 1204 and the restoration of the city in 1261.
This talk is the second in a series of lectures sponsored by the Association of Graduate Art Students. Dr. Hilsdale specializes in Medieval Art with an emphasis on Byzantine Art in the Department of Art History and Communication Studies at McGill University in Montreal.
