Evan A. Gatti will present “A Romanesque Church, a Roman Floor, Ottonian Murals and a Renaissance Ceiling: Mixed Messages and Modern Meanings at Aosta.” this Thursday, May 10 at the The 42nd International Congress on Medieval Studies. As part of a session on Mixed Messages in Medieval Art from 300-1500, Gatti’s paper examines two fragmentary examples of early eleventh-century wall painting arguing that while analysis of the iconography and style of the two wall programs has and will yield important information about eleventh-century Aosta, it may be the contemporary experience of the buildings that best reveals their medieval function.
