PHILOSOPHICAL PAINTING: VAN EYCK'S ANNUNCIATION

November 12, 5 p.m.

Few works capture the fusion of material precision and metaphysical depth as powerfully as Jan van Eyck’s Annunciation, a prize piece in the collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington. This lecture explores how this groundbreaking Netherlandish artist transforms a familiar biblical episode into a meditation on vision, incarnation, and the relationship between the visible and the invisible.

Structure: Each lecture is a live event via zoom: a brief check and introduction, to ensure that participants have been able to connect, followed by a slide-presentation of about 50-60 minutes, and a Q&A discussion of about 20-30 minutes. The link is sent on the day of the event.

Fee: 20 USD per person
