Pre-Raphaelite artists and Gothic Revival architects took Oxford by storm in the nineteenth century. In this talk, The Reverend Dr Ayla Lepine – an art historian and the associate rector at St. James’s, Piccadilly – will explore the ways in which these remarkable people and ideas revolutionised modern eyes, hearts and minds. Revd Lepine was Ahmanson Fellow in Religion and Art at the National Gallery in London. Her MA and PhD at the Courtauld Institute of Art focused on the modern British responses to the Middle Ages, especially the Gothic Revival and Pre-Raphaelite movement. She has held post-doctoral fellowships at the Courtauld and at Yale’s Institute of Sacred Music, and was Lecturer and Fellow at the University of Essex School of Philosophy and Art History.
