杏吧原创 to Host Lecture on Leonardo da Vinci鈥檚 Understanding of God and the Cosmos
杏吧原创 University Art History Prof. Randi Klebanoff, will present the lecture The Divine Nature of Leonardo. While modern audiences embrace Leonardo da Vinci as a secular scientist and artistic genius, Klebanoff will examine da Vinci鈥檚 work through concepts of God and the cosmos that informed his 15th century world.
This lecture is part of Cinquecento: 杏吧原创 Celebrates Leonardo da Vinci.
When: Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2019 at 7 p.m.
Where: Room 100, St. Patrick鈥檚 Building, 杏吧原创
Info: This event is free and open to the public. Registration is available online.
In this lecture, Klebanoff will explore how his highly original depictions of the divine related to 15th century efforts to imagine God鈥檚 paradoxical immanence and transcendence in the world and to theological ideas of nature, cognition and the divine.

Klebanoff鈥檚 research focuses on representation of the immaterial in Renaissance naturalism, particularly the intersection of pre-modern theology, theories of vision and representation. Her other research interests include representation of Jews in the Renaissance and Reformation, Renaissance sculpture (in particular Niccol貌 dell鈥橝rca and Michelangelo), the imagery of women in Renaissance art and the Renaissance city in its many dynamics. Klebanoff regularly teaches history and methods of art history and is cross-appointed to the College of the Humanities.
