I changed my dissertation topic...
at what could be considered the last minute.
Smart?
Debatable.
But no turning back now.
New topic: Illusionism
Centered on Rubens's Triumph of the Church over Ignorance and Blindness tapestry
part of the larger series of twenty tapestries, Triumph of the Eucharist (1626-28)
A few tapestries from the series for your viewing pleasure:
[Triumph of the Church over Ignorance and Blindness]
this is the one I am researching
[Sacrifice of the Old Covenant]
[The Meeting of Abraham and Melchizedek]
[Detail of Abraham and Melchizedek tapestry]
Pretty talented, that Peter Paul Rubens...
The clock is ticking.
