Tuedays, 11AM – Noon Art Series from The Cleveland Museum of Art (available via video in the Library)
- August 3: Medieval Masterpieces – Rich intellectual and technical achievements distinguish the art of the Middle Ages. Throughout Europe manuscript illumination, architecture, sculpture and metal work flourished under the patronage of church and court. In this session, viewers will see splendid liturgical objects such as a gold and porphyry altarpiece made for an 11th c. German countess, and a silver vessel for a holy relic obtained from a Byzantine emperor. Courtly items also featured include a whimsical table fountain and Gothic style tapestries made for a chateau. Biblical subjects such as Daniel in the lion’s den, seen on a medieval column capital, highlight the connections between art and religion.
For information on the Art Series, please contact Susan Hirsch at hirschs2@ccf.org at 702-483-6023.
