Each year, the Division of Arts and Humanities celebrates its faculty who have recently been promoted to the rank of professor by asking each to present a public lecture on his or her body of research or creative activity and current projects. Professor Andrew Shelton, History of Art, will present A Passion for Ingres, Wednesday, April 16, 2014. Shelton’s lecture will address the role of passion in both the production and reception of the art of the 19th-century French painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. The talk will also preview an exhibition he will be curating at the Columbus Museum of Art for autumn 2015, Ingres's Passion: Raphael and the Fornarina.
A reception will accompany the lecture. Free and open to the public.
