O Jardim e o Céu, a talk on plants and symbols in sacred art

A conference on São Miguel on 13 and 14 November about plants in European and Portuguese Christian art. It looks at paintings, sculptures and woven wall hangings made between the mid-14th and early 19th centuries, identifying the trees, leaves, flowers and fruit in them and reading their meaning through the Bible, apocryphal texts, theology and old plant symbolism. Expect an academic format. The listing gives no venue, times or admission terms.
