“The Cathedral of San Cerbone; an Intersection of Hagiography and Sculpture (c. 1150-1325)”
Presented by Doctoral Candidate Theresa Marks
This presentation explores the intersection of hagiography and the resurgence of figurative sculpture in the Medieval Tuscan Maremma between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries. Embellishments of hagiographies tended to evolve within the surrounding community as was the case of the Cathedral of Massa Marittima where the hagiography of San Cerbone becomes ‘etched in stone,’ providing a unique case study of the revival of sculpture during this time frame.
The Medieval Fair Free Lecture Series is cosponsored by the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies University of Oklahoma.
Come learn more about the middle ages just for the fun of learning! No papers, no test, just interesting information about life long ago.
This event is made possible, in part, by a grant from the Norman Arts Council Hotel Tax Grant Program.
