Description
Notre Dame Cathedral has had a huge presence in Parisian culture from the time of its completion in the 13th century. Each of the following centuries added to the structure with works of art and design. The fire in 2019 was only one episode requiring reconstruction but it made all previous creations more visible.
Charlie Steen’s lectures place historical events in context with art, architecture, religion, and other cultural aspects of a period. He has authored several books, including A Cultural History of Early Modern Europe. A graduate of UNM, he also holds a PhD from UCLA. Steen has recently retired from teaching at UNM.
