An art object asks us to reply to it: It returns our gaze, and it compels action and reaction from us. In this interactive writing workshop, we will discover that a slower, closer look at Cranach's complex mythographic portrait of Venus and Amor exposes an extraordinary range of subjects. We will engage these subjects through a guided program of prompts, writing our responses to Cranach's work. Presented by Sarah M. Anderson, lecturer in English, the Medieval Studies Program, and the Freshman Seminar Program, Princeton University.
