OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all 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 as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The change of gear from high Gothic art through Bosch, Bruegel, and beyond, is often seen as an indication of developing humanist tendencies in Western art and theology, and the abandonment of the central motifs of Christian imagery. We will explore this with examples of subjects across artists (for example the Temptation of St Anthony), with a view to assessing this assumption. Rather than seeing Bruegel as a humanistic step in the West, we will test whether, rather, it may be indicative of embeddedness of God in obscurity, and a quest to discern the incarnation’s deepest significance.
Tea and coffee available in the Hood Room from 3.30pm
