Dr. DeBoer’s lecture will explore:
- Michelangelo’s centrality in the history of art
- the Sistine Chapel as both a pivotal point Michelangelo’s career and an obstacle plotted by jealous rivals
- iconography of the Sistine Chapel and The Last Judgement
- remnants of the process used to create the ceiling frescos
- Michelangelo’s “hidden” self-portrait
Dr. Lisa DeBoer teaches the History of Art at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California. Her areas of interest include early modern print culture and the uses of the visual arts in Christian worship.
