- **Event Name**: The Evolution of Art: From Cathedrals to Revolution
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 15 Mar, 2026 at 10:30 am
- **Event Description**: Expert Rand Moll will present during the 10:30 service. There is no fee. His last presentation concluded with a discussion of stained-glass windows and their importance in cathedrals. The March 15, 2026 presentation will shift focus to the interiors of a chapel at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, exploring the objects and artworks that one might encounter within such a sacred space, including religious paintings created by renowned artists, as well as significant sculptures that are central to these interiors. We will examine the work of major painters and sculptors, specifically comparing Michelangelo’s “David” with Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s interpretation of the same biblical figure. We will consider the profound impact of social classes on the creation of art. We will explore the Protestant Reformation, particularly how Martin Luther played a pivotal role in initiating this movement, aided by the widespread influence of Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press. Additionally, Rand will address how art was utilized during the Counter-Reformation, with a focus on its capacity to engage and move the senses of viewers, the social upheaval that led to the French Revolution and its effects on the art produced during that tumultuous period. In conclusion we will consider the contributions of French writer Victor Hugo, whose novel “Notre Dame de Paris” features the character Quasimodo. This figure, both grotesque and powerful, serves as a symbol for the cathedral itself—damaged by the violence of the Paris mobs, yet possessing a pure and generous heart.
