SUMMARY:Eleventh Annual Leon Levy Lecture
DTSTART:20171102T220000Z
DTEND:20171103T000000Z
DESCRIPTION:Please note: the Leon Levy Lecture is now fully subscribed
 \; we are no longer accepting RSVPs or names for our wait-list. This l
 ecture will explore the representations of The Twelve Caesars (from Ju
 lius Caesar to Domitian) in western art since the Renaissance\, aiming
  to show that they are a much more difficult\, edgy\, and contested ar
 t form than those standard line-ups of busts on museum shelves would s
 uggest. Examples will range from ceramic to waxwork\, stone to silver\
 , and they will include the extraordinary set of sixteenth-century Sil
 ver Caesars (known as the Aldobrandini Tazze)\, which are shortly to f
 eature in their own show at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. One underl
 ying question (often taken far too much for granted) is why generation
 s of dynasts\, autocrats\, the old and the new rich\, chose to decorat
 e their homes and palaces with this collection of (largely) monsters.
