About this Event

Presented by Dr. Kirk Nickel, Curator of European Art

The Holy Face of Christ is a fascinating hybrid: both an image and a physical trace, both an icon and a relic. In this 20-minute discussion, Dr. Nickel will focus on a rare Flemish engraving in the Haggerty’s collection that crystalizes the beauty and terror that coexist in this archetypal Christian image. Simultaneously enthralling and deeply disturbing, the artwork is a perfect emblem of the museum’s fall exhibition .

Parking for Haggerty visitors is available in Marquette University's Lot J, which can be accessed from North 11th Street, between Wisconsin Avenue and Clybourn Street. If an attendant is present in the 11th Street booth, please inform them you are visiting the Museum. If no attendant is in the booth, please proceed up the drive to the next gated entry. If the gate is down, please press the INTERCOM button and inform the security personnel that you are visiting the Museum. Please do not park in spots near the Parish Center posted “Gesu Parish Guests Only”. Street parking is available at metered spaces along Clybourn Street, located between North 11th and 15th streets.
