Professors Carole Levin and Patricia A. Simpson will present a gallery talk at 4:30 p.m. March 30 about the exhibition, “Beyond Eve and Mary: Premodern Representations of Gender, Power, and Religion,” which they organized at Sheldon Museum of Art.
The exhibition examines depictions of the biblical figures Eve and Mary through thematic groupings of artworks, encouraging viewers to consider the multifaceted portrayal of gender in the premodern period (pre-1800).
Levin is Willa Cather Professor Emerita of History and Simpson is a professor of German at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
