Register now for “'A Mass of Brilliant Color': Vestments for the Coronation of Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna"!

About this EventWe are pleased to announce this month&#x27;s Second Saturday lecture, presented by Dr. Karen Kettering! Vestments for clergy serving at coronation ceremonies are one of the most dazzling elements of the celebration. These pieces are designed to shine with extraordinary brilliance, and to be seen by the entire world. The vestments at the coronation ceremonies of Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna were a stunning example of this luminosity. Join us for a lecture on the historical meanings of their design, international press coverage of the ceremonies, and the work of the firm of A. and V. Sapozhnikov, the makers of the cloth used for the gowns, uniforms, banners, and hangings seen throughout the three weeks of festivities. The lecture will conclude by tracing the fate of these and other vestments after 1917. Connecting With ZoomThis virtual lecture is presented live via Zoom.
