Iconographic Faces of Mary
Description
Mary, the mother of God, plays a central role in Christian art, and is portrayed in various ways. What do her faces reveal to us believers?
In this fourth and final lecture of the winter/spring 2025 Christian in the World lecture series, Christine Schlesser, Executive Director of the Classical Iconography Institute, and Brother Alfredo Miranda, OSB, a monk of Mount Angel Abbey, explore the figure of Mary in the artistic and iconographic tradition of the Church.
Based in Portland, Oregon, the Classical Iconography Institute is a fine arts educational nonprofit dedicated to teaching the ancient method of egg tempera iconography to preserve one of the oldest, traditional cultural sacred arts of the ancient Christian East and West.
