Upcoming Lecture: John Ruskin, The German Nazarenes and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood

Next week, on Thursday May 10, I will be lecturing on John Ruskin, The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the German Nazarene painters. The fun starts at 7:30 at St. Margaret Mary's in Oakland. There is no admission fee, but the St. Anthony of Padua Institute will suggest that you subscribe (for more information on the institute and what subscription is all about go here.

The lecture will be approx. 45-50 minutes, with a question and feeble attempts at answer session afterwards. We will try, as usual, to keep it all fun and informative.

There is a betting pool as to whether or not I will have time to get a proper haircut for the event, or whether I will do it myself, or will talk Melanie into cutting it, or whether I will simply not get around to it. The smart money goes for A, but the others are distinct possibilities as well. All I know is that I am mightily shaggy right now.

If you are coming from out of town, get in touch, so we can plan on at least a coffee or drink afterwards.
