In his gallery talk, Harvard professor Seth Estrin will explore an ancient Greek grave stele for a young girl named Melisto. Focusing on the historical and emotional context of the monument as well as details of its carving, Estrin will examine how subtle effects of relief sculpture were used in Classical Athens to construct the experience of bereavement.
Led by:
Seth Estrin, Assistant Professor of History of Art and Architecture, Department of History of Art and Architecture, Harvard University
