Titian's Portrait of Alfonso d'Avalos in Its Political and Artistic Context
Joanna Woods-Marsden, professor of art history, UCLA, will discuss how the Getty portrait relates to other Renaissance likenesses of aristocrats who chose to be represented wearing armor. The lecture also addresses how Titian's depiction of the qualities of dominance, virility, and potency reflect the notions of masculine identity in Renaissance Europe. Free; reservations required.
