Watch a recording of Sara Masinelli in this online event looking at how faith and religion have influenced responses to epidemics in the past and how these reactions have been represented in 18th- and 19th-century Christian Italian prints.
Sara looks closely at a few items from the collections, including etchings and lithographs made after medieval banners and ex-voto. The event reflects on how humanity has turned to religion and art throughout history as an outlet for emotions as a result of tragic events such as pandemics.
