New Voices: Royal Salvation Strategies in Medieval Cyprus

From Nona Fienberg, Arts and Humanities:

The “New Voices, New Visions” series features the voices of faculty members who have joined the Keene State College community in the past several years and the visions of faculty members exploring new and exciting areas of study.

On Tuesday, November 3, Dr. Stephen Lucey, Assistant Professor of Art History, will present “Til Death Do Us Part: Royal Salvation Strategies in Late Medieval Cyprus,” at 4:30 in Morrison Lecture Hall. Dr. Lucey will present his research on a 15th-century chapel in Pyrga, Cyprus, and discuss the elaborate decorative program in light of the chapel’s intended memorial function and the ambitions of its founder, Janus de Lusignan, one of the last crusader kings.
