Dr Valija Evalds – What Are They Wearing?
Evening Lecture
Thursday 28 June, 7-8.30pm
What Are They Wearing? Dr.
Valija Evalds explores images of cloth and clothing on medieval and renaissance
artefacts in the Corinium Museum Collection. Abbot’s mitres and renaissance
ruffs often look exaggerated to the modern eye, as do the shapes of medieval
and renaissance bodies. And why would a merchant like John Coxwell wear so much
black? Dr Evalds asks what the artists meant to convey when they depicted
garments, and what the contemporary audience understood when they saw it.
Valija Evalds has a PhD in
art history from Yale University. She has lectured in medieval art history, the
history of costume and textiles, the development of illustrated children's
books and the history of the home. She has published articles on medieval
sculpture and the history of dress.
Cost: £7 per adult, £6
