The lecture "Katerina Returns: Monumental frieze from the Cornaro family palace" is dedicated to five paintings depicting the life of Caterina Cornaro — the last Queen of Cyprus. The study reveals the historical and artistic significance of these works, created in the context of early 16th-century Venetian art. In the lecture, Dr. Georgios E. Markou will present an analysis of composition, symbols of power, diplomacy, and political legacy through gestures, space, and pictorial details. The lecture is held in English. Admission is free.
