Chrissy Zappella unpacks the coded sexual and socio-political agendas of two paintings in the Blanton’s collection, Luca Cambiaso’s Suicide of Lucretia and Claude Vignon’s David with the Head of Goliath. This is the second “Old Masters/ Modern World” lecture, a series of talks that critically explores the continued relevance of centuries-old artworks to the lives of viewers today.

This talk touches on adult themes, including that of sexual violence.
