EXCLUSIVE WEBINAR | “In the Hot Seat: Veronese, the Inquisition, the Painting Formerly Known as the Last Supper”
Presented by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

On July 18, 1573, the Venetian painter Paolo Veronese was interrogated by the Holy Office of the Inquisition, which accused him of painting an indecorous “Last Supper” complete with “Germans, jesters, and buffoons.”  Astonishingly, the records of this interrogation have survived down to our own day. Join Dr. Rocky for this exclusive webinar as he reexamines Veronese’s day “in the hot seat,” and discover how a Renaissance artist defended his creative freedom against censorship. 

The webinar will include a 45-minute lecture followed by 15-minutes of Q&A.
