McNeil, Jr. Lecture Hall  This lecture will be presented by Michael Bury, Reader Emeritus in History of Art, University of Edinburgh.  Bury has worked on various aspects of Italian painting, sculpture, and architecture, from the fifteenth through the seventeenth century. His lecture coincides with the Yale University Art Gallery's special exhibition, "Grand Scale: Monumental Prints in the Age of Dürer and Titian."  "Grand Scale: Monumental Prints in the Age of Dürer and Titian" assembles a diverse group of European prints from the late fifteenth to the early seventeenth century that share one common characteristic: uncommon scale.  Andrew Carnduff Ritchie Lectures The Ritchie Lectures are jointly sponsored by the Yale Center for British Art and the Yale University Art Gallery and were established to honor the memory of Andrew Carnduff Ritchie, director of the Yale University Art Gallery from 1957 to 1971. The Ritchie Lectures are offered annually and bring to the University distinguished members of the international visual arts community. These lectures are free and open to the public, honoring Ritchie's belief that the art museum serves as a gathering place for all members of the community.
