Step into the shadows of art history this Halloween season and explore the eerie realms of macabre, grotesque, and Gothic art. This lecture delves into the darker corners of artistic expression, examining how artists across centuries have given form to the monstrous, the devilish, and the ghastly. From the chilling depths of medieval manuscripts to the haunting canvases of Romanticism, discover how depictions of monsters, ghouls, and otherworldly beings have both fascinated and unsettled audiences throughout history. Join us on a journey through the uncanny landscapes of the imagination, where nightmares are rendered in brushstrokes and the grotesque beckons from the shadows.

I thoroughly enjoyed Veronique Cote's presentation. She is very knowledgeable and the class was fun and exciting.- Olli Patron
