Oct. 18 at 10 a.m., Alexander Nagel, Raphael and the Transfiguration of Art

Professor of Fine Arts at New York University, and recently department chair, Dr. Nagel’s many scholarly contributions include The Controversy of Renaissance Art (University of Chicago Press, 2011).

He explores how a Europe-centered view of the world came to be. Nagel is expected to discuss the context of Renaissance art with its story-telling, naturalistic, and fresh perspectives and their impacts on the public then and from a current understanding.
