Join Luke Brown as he discusses the proliferation of art featuring cadavers following the Black Death, focussing on churches in Norfolk.
About this Event

The generation following the Black Death saw artwork of cadavers, corpses, and skeletons increase dramatically. Join Luke Brown as he discusses the Late Macabre within the churches of Norfolk, and explores whether this was a society obsessed with death, or whether this focus on mortality and decay has been overstated.

This free talk will take place in person in the Heritage Meeting Room, Norfolk Heritage Centre (on the second floor of the Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library) and will also be livestreamed.

Booking is essential. To attend in person, book here at norfolkheritagecentre.eventbrite.co.uk or email [email protected].
