Looking closely at works in the FIA's European and American collections, this talk will explore how death is depicted, contemplated, and memorialized in art. From sacred to secular works--objects made for an altar to personal portraits of loss--artists have interpreted the inevitability of death in ways beautiful, mysterious, and sublime.
