This illustrated online lecture will look at ways in which artists have presented images of the birth and childhood of Christ – from the Annunciation and Visitation to the Flight into Egypt and the Presentation in the Temple. Medieval illustrations both in stained glass and in illuminated Books of Hours have become increasingly familiar from being reproduced on Christmas cards, but twentieth century and more recent interpretations are much less well known. Drawing on images from stained glass, painting and woodcarving, and by artists from Giotto to PJ Crook, I shall aim to cast a new light on a very traditional seasonal subject. There will be plenty of opportunities for audience members to contribute to the discussion and those taking part in this Zoom event are invited to nominate in advance particular Nativity images they would like to see included and discussed in the lecture.
If you wish to nominate a particular image or images, please send your suggestion, not later than 31/10 to adrianbarlow16@gmail.com.
