The Scriptures have been the catalyst and inspiration for artistic expression in Western culture across the ages. Dr. Lori Anne Ferrell will trace biblical and biblically informed literary themes in paintings and prints from the 15th through the 19th centuries, with special reference to the Huntington Library's extraordinary, extra-illustrated Kitto Bible. Join us in Linder Hall to learn about the lasting and continuing influence of the Bible in the visual arts.
