The Striking Man in a Complex Icon: Basil the Great's Fascinating Life Among the Timken’s extraordinary collection of icons there is one about St. Basil. It causes a viewer to pause both for its riveting coloration and its complexity. That is true to form because Basil of Cappadocia, the man in the center, was himself a most colorful, complex character during the 4th century AD. In this lecture we will examine him in dialogue with how his life story is told by the icon. Saints and Sinners in Great Art Join Timken Docent and USD Professor of Biblical Studies (ret.)

When a 25-year-old Anthony van Dyck visited Palermo during his transformative sojourn in Italy, he got more than he had bargained for. In May 1624, mere weeks after his arrival to paint the Spanish viceroy, Emanuele Filiberto, the city's most disastrous plague struck. Terrifying as it was for the artist, van Dyck's involuntary quarantine was a boon for the history of art. He used that time to create a series of paintings which transformed Saint Rosalie into Palermo’s main patron saint. In this docent-led talk, we will examine those paintings and some of his portraits to see what they can tell us about the power of painted imagery to comfort, and to reflect the times. Date | Friday, March 3 from 11 a.m. to noon Location | Online via Zoom Register here for free! Must register online to attend.
