Larry Silver Named Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar
Larry A. Silver, James and Nan Wagner Farquhar Professor of History of Art, has been named a Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar for the 2015-2016 academic year. He is one of 13 distinguished scholars selected by the Phi Beta Kappa Society for this program.
Visiting scholars spend two days at a select group of colleges and universities with Phi Beta Kappa chapters. They meet informally with undergraduates, participate in classroom lectures and seminars, and give a major address open to the academic community and general public.
Silver, a specialist in painting and graphics of Northern Europe during the Renaissance and Reformation, will lecture and hold discussions with students and faculty on topics such as “India Ink: Europe’s Earliest Views of the Subcontinent,” “Dutch Global Horizons,” “New Jerusalem: Rembrandt, Amsterdam, and Religion,” “Marked and Modern: 20th-Century Jewish Artists,” and “Formation of the Habsburg Empire.”
