OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
