The Eric W. Gritsch Memorial Fund invites you to join us for an informative talk by Yu Na Han on Reformation art in 16th-century Germany. The talk is extracted from her developing dissertation centered on the theme of the consolation to be found in pictorial representations. Yu Na will discuss how the faithful would have taken comfort in the works of Lucas Cranach and his fellow artists just as they would have in the words of Luther and pastoral care.
