The con will be in full swing Thursday with the return of Hall H.

On Dec. 19, 1980, Shlomo Lewin, the former chairman of the Jewish community in Nuremberg, and his partner Frida Poeschke were shot dead in their house in Erlangen. Instead of pursuing the leads that led to the right-wing extremist group Wehrsportgruppe Hoffmann, investigators concentrated on Lewin’s social environment for a long time. In this lecture, the German historian Uffa Jensen reconstructs the crime and its motivations, in the process unearthing a history of violence, trivialisation and repression that continues to this day. Jensen is a historian of modern history and serves as the deputy director at the Centre for Research on Antisemitism at the Technische Universität in Berlin. His publications include “Wie die Couch nach Kalkutta kam: Eine Globalgeschichte der frühen Psychoanalyse” (Berlin 2019); “Zornpolitik” (Berlin 2017); “Recht und Politik, Perspektiven deutsch-jüdischer Geschichte” (Paderborn 2014); and “Gebildete Doppelgänger. Bürgerliche Juden und Protestanten im 19. Jahrhundert” (Göttingen 2005).

This docent-led talk will explore the work of some of the most prominent Northern Renaissance painters who were active primarily in the cities of Bruges and Ghent during the 15th and 16th centuries. For example, the brilliant Jan van Eyck was one of the most prominent artists in Bruges during the 15th century. His contributions to European art were many, including the perfection of the use of oil paint and his minutely realistic depictions of surface effects and natural light. His successor, Petrus Christus was known to have introduced single point perspective. Other Northern artists such as Rogier van der Weyden and Robert Campin helped shape Northern Renaissance art through their close observations and meticulously detailed depictions of human figures and their surroundings. The typical subject matter of the Flemish School was often religious in nature, but small beautifully executed portraits were also common. The Timken Museum is fortunate to have paintings by three of the most significant Flemish/Netherlandish painters such as Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Petrus Christus, and Pieter Claeissens the Elder. Their works and that of many prominent Flemish artists will be highlighted in this docent-led talk. This is a Zoom and Facebook Live event. Everything is hosted online and free.
