In this brunch and learn, you will learn about the human side of two great Renaissance artists, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. They were often rivals, but they had much in common, and both worked within a culture that was both open to discovery and restricted. If you’ve read Walter Isaacson’s biography of Leonardo, if you’ve seen the portrait of the portrait of Ginevra de’ Benci in the National Gallery, if you’ve been to Italy to see the masterpieces like the Sistine Chapel or David, you’re sure to have questions about these two artists. If you haven’t done any of those things, this will be a great opportunity to learn about two fascinating men who lived in very tumultuous times.

Dr. Bernadine Barnes teaches Renaissance art at Wake Forest, where she is professor of art history and chair of the art department. She has published three books on Michelangelo, including her most recent work, Michelangelo and the Viewer in his Time.

The Wake Forest Global Deacs Alumni Network is pleased to invite you to a special evening with WFU alumnus Robert Wilkie (‘85), who was recently confirmed as US Secretary of Veterans Affairs. We feel so fortunate to have this occasion to hear his perspective on issues of global security and hopefully also his candid insights about how Wake Forest shaped him and his career. Please join us for a brief cocktail reception, program and networking.

The reception will begin at 6:30 p.m. with the program starting promptly at 7:15 p.m.

Join fellow Deacons at Tea With Mrs. B's in Falls Church, VA to share in a time honored Wake Forest Tradition - the Lovefeast! We will be live streaming the abbreviated service from campus at 4:30PM

We hope to see you there – Go Deacs!
