Lecture, Emeritus Professor Constantine Christofides, "The Great Medieval Pilgrimage Revisited"
Henry Art Gallery Auditorium
6:00pm
Lecture followed by a reception in the Baci Cafe
Emeritus Professor Constantine Christofides has spent much of his professional life documenting the pilgrimage roads through France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. The lecture will include an overview of his research over the past thirty years, the new discoveries as a result of the restoration of monuments in post WWII France (in Normandy, Provence, etc.), as well as the re-thinking of certain iconographic problems in French Romanesque art.
Upon his
retirement from the University of Washington, Christofides was
named distinguished professor of Humanities at the Institute for American
Universities in Aix-en-Provence, France (1997). He has regularly returned
to
Seattle to teach at the UW, most recently for Hellenic Studies (2003),
to
which he is again contributing a course in 2008. Professor Christofides
is
also offering the survey of Medieval and Renaissance art in Winter Quarter
2008.
