Foreign Faces in Etruscan Art
November 18 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
AIA Society: Western New York (Buffalo)
Lecturer: Sinclair Bell
What did a foreigner look like in Etruscan art, and why did Etruscans represent them? This lecture looks at representations of “Aethiopians” (Black Africans) in a variety of visual media, and explores what these images may have meant in their original settings.
