OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The lecture presents two cycles of mosaics in San Marco, Venice that need to be better known. They are thus: Mary’s childhood within the western bay of the south transept, and Genesis, which is situated in the atrium.
The research about them is relatively new and, even though at least two books have been written about them, they still need more public exposure.
The lecture can be followed easier if the attendees read in advance my book Elena Ene Drăghici-Vasilescu, ‘Glimpses into Byzantium. Its Philosophy and Arts’ (an anthology of peer-reviewed articles published by the author from 2019 to 2021), Oxford, 2021.
