Description : When a person is dying, spiritual concerns often become increasingly important. Questions arise related to life’s purpose and the impact of one’s life on others and the community. People may ask, “why is this happening to me” or “what does it mean to the world that I have lived." Some people focus on what comes after death. Spirituality is the essence of our inner being and hospice and palliative care consider spiritual care to be among the most important aspects of total care at the end of life. February's speaker is Executive Director of the Josie Harper House, Gary George.

Description : Titian was a master of Renaissance painting and a genius at attracting powerful clients. Among these was Andrea deï¾ Franceschi (1473-1552)- the Grand Chancellor of the Venetian Republic. De' Franceschi was an elite government official at the top of his game who is also notable for his several portraits. One of theseï¾attributed to the workshop of Titianï¾is now at the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields. Using state of the art technology- Rebecca Norris- Ph.D.- and a collaborative team delved beneath the surface of the Andrea de' Franceschi portrait. X-rays- infrared reflectography- and pigment sampling revealed layers of evidence that align with Titianï¾s workshop practices. Some of the evidence may even point to Titian himself.

Topics:
History
Description : Martin Luther proclaimed that funeral monuments were not necessary objects, but whose creation should have not been altogether banned. This quite ambivalent stand fostered the on-going creation of large scale funeral monuments under the commission of Protestant princes in Northern Europe. How did these artworks, which were intrinsically connected to the traditions of the unreformed church of Rome, oscillate between the creation of a ‘Protestant style’ and palpable disbelief in Lutheran ideas? Featuring keynote Dr. Ivo Raband.
