Unmasking the Green Man

Unmasking the Green Man: foliate heads and masks in gothic art

Cassandra Harrington, an art historian of the Middle Ages, who recently earned a doctorate from the University of Kent, will uncover the history behind the ‘Green Man’ and the symbolism of foliate heads and masks in gothic art. She is soon to publish a book on this topic. Her talk will also touch on the Anglo-Norman masked capitals in St. Clement’s, Sandwich.
