Presented by Dr. Kirk Nickel, Curator of European Art
In this 20-minute discussion, Dr. Nickel will focus on a rare Flemish engraving in the Haggerty’s collection that crystalizes the beauty and terror that coexist in this archetypal Christian image.
“The Holy Face of Christ” is a fascinating hybrid: both an image and a physical trace, both an icon and a relic. In this 20-minute discussion, Dr. Nickel will focus on a rare Flemish engraving in the Haggerty’s collection that crystalizes the beauty and terror that coexist in this archetypal Christian image. Simultaneously enthralling and deeply disturbing, the artwork is a perfect emblem of the museum’s fall exhibition “Capture the Senses: Attraction and Horror in Early Modern Art.”
