Grateful for the opportunity to present my paper yesterday on four medieval Passion Cycles from the Kingdom of Hungary. It was wonderful to be among such amazing researchers and their exciting papers. It was a lot of fun!

For the hard of hearing and the clickbait 'art experts', trying to pin the historical tail to the allegorical donkey, the Feast of the Gods is such a common theme in Renaissance and Baroque art, especially in the Low Countries, there's a mini-industry in this particular tableau.
Grateful for the opportunity to present my paper on Saint Margaret of Hungary at the @UoB_CMS_PGR! Even from afar, it was really inspiring to be among such brilliant researchers and their exciting papers.
Huge thanks to the organizers for making it all happen!
