Art History Through a Jewish Lens: Esther—From Ahasuerus to the Ayatollahs
ABOUT THIS EVENT
Join art historian and lecturer Ellaine Rosen, Monday, March 9th at 6pm Eastern Time on Zoom, and follow Purim heroine Queen Esther through her depictions in art!
The holiday of Purim is a drama infused with sex, love, money, murder, and a plot twist worthy of a soap opera. Packed with seductions, palace intrigue, and sudden reversals, a reluctant Jewish queen rises from obscurity to outsmart an entire empire and save her people from annihilation.
Follow the narrative of the Book of Esther through the eyes of master artists such as Rembrandt, while also tracing the fate of Persian Jews from the palace at Shushan, through the upheavals of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, to the present day.
