David Cohen's Lecture on Renaissance Fashion and Martyrdom at New York Studio School

David Cohen delivered a lecture titled 'What to Wear for a Martyrdom' at the New York Studio School on April 1, 2014. The talk explored fashion advice for executioners as depicted in works by Late Quattrocento and Early Cinquecento masters from both Northern and Southern Alpine regions. Cohen described this as a new area of interest, intersecting renaissance painting, masculinity studies, fashion theory, and religious history. He acknowledged the embryonic nature of his speculations and potential for errors, noting the video would be available for a limited time. The lecture was posted online to allow friends and colleagues who missed the event to view it and provide feedback. Cohen expressed gratitude to listeners for their patience.
