A Tour of the World in 6 Artworks: JP Morgan and the Stavelot Triptych, speaker, Vanessa Troiano, PhD candidate in art history, CUNY Graduate School

Nearly 900 years old, the Stavelot Triptych is a jewel-encrusted medieval church reliquary, enshrining purported fragments from the crucifix of Jesus Christ. Today, it is housed in The Morgan Library and Museum of New York City, the former private library of financier J. P. Morgan. Vanessa Troiano, a doctoral candidate in Art History at CUNY’s Graduate Center, will take us on a journey spanning two millennia through Jerusalem, Constantinople, and the Holy Roman Empire, to uncover how such a precious artifact came to reside just blocks away from Baruch’s campus.

The series “Tour of the World in Six Artworks” aims to present global works of art to Baruch students, placing the works in cultural context. This series by art historians will connect world cultures with the fine arts, a search for an alternate way to become globally-accomplished students. Open to the Baruch community.
