			Larry Silver Lectures Tomorrow about Reflections on the Half Millennium By Leslie Miller
			DECEMBER 8, 1999--Larry Silver, Farquhar Professor of History of Art at the University of Pennsylvania, will give a lecture at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon in Fisher Hall. Silver's talk, "Apocalypse Then: German Reflections on the Half Millennium in 1500," is in conjunction with the Renaissance Print exhibition up through January 30 at the Allen Memorial Art Museum. Silver has written and lectured extensively on Northern Renaissance art, and the many awards supporting his work include fellowships from the Kress Foundation, the National Gallery, the Institute for Advanced Study, Duke University, the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, and the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte. Silver's research and teaching interests include Altdorfer's early landscapes and the concept of wilderness, the late engravings of Lucas van Leyden, Peter Bruegel, Emperor Maximilian's Teuerdank, images of women and sexuality on the eve of the reformation, love and marriage in the art of Lucas van Leyden and his contemporaries, and Paper Pageants: Habsburg triumphal entries from Dürer to Rubens. Silver will meet with groups of students in the museum to discuss the original prints in the exhibition and collection. His lecture is part of the curriculum for Introduction to Western Art. The Max Kade Foundation supports the lecture, and the museum and the Department of Art are Silver's co-hosts.
