Ex-Votos Lecture February 7th, 3 PM
Please join the Health Sciences Library on February 7th at 3 PM classroom LC 1 for a presentation by Dr. Janet Snyder of the WVU Art History program, who will speak on “Reciprocity in Ancient and Medieval Ex-Votos.” In her talk, Dr. Snyder will discuss votive offerings and ex-votos, including three-dimensional and sculpted pieces. Light refreshments will be served after the talk.
This lecture coincides the National Library of Medicine traveling poster exhibition Everyday Miracles: Medical Imagery in Ex-Votos being hosted by the Health Sciences Library from Jan. 19 to Feb. 24. Ex-votos are devotional paintings created to thank saints or deities for a healing, blessing, or significant event. These expressive works provide insight into how ordinary people thought about and coped with disease and healing.
