OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Breugel and Incarnation – Seeing Salvation Afresh
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.
