On February 2, 2022, 12:30-1 pm, the Walters Art Museum presents Collection Connections: Interfaith Connections in Manuscripts.
The lands around the Mediterranean Sea have long been connected through art, culture, and trade. In the Medieval period, communities of different faiths--namely, Christians, Jews, and Muslims--often lived side by side, spoke the same languages, and shared artistic traditions. These connections are revealed in the pages of a number of illuminated and illustrated manuscripts in the Walters collection. Please join Christine Sciacca, Curator of European Art, 300-1400 CE, and Ashley Dimmig, Wieler-Mellon Postdoctoral Curatorial Fellow in Islamic Art, for a virtual tour exploring such manuscripts and the stories they tell about interfaith connections in the Medieval Mediterranean region.
