Art historian Dane Munro is giving a talk on ‘Interpreting the Symbols on the Tombstones and Monuments of St John’s Co-Cathedral’ on Wednesday at 6.30pm at the Phoenicia Hotel, Floriana.

The is the second time that this talk, which is being organised by Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar , is being held after attracting strongly positive feedback last January.

This time the talk will be slightly modified to reflect current developments and a number of topics will be dealt with in greater detail.

Munro is an authority on the history and art of the Order of St John. He will interpret the symbols on the marble tombstones and monuments of St John’s Co-Cathedral, presenting a fresh, original view on the relationship between the deceased, the viewer and the complex symbolic iconography of the monuments and tombstones that form part of “the most beautiful floor in the world” in St John’s Co-Cathedral.

Munro will again present his sometimes controversial ideas using digital photo-enhancing, isolating the layers of perception and symbols on a selection of tombstones to illustrate their various interpretations and meanings clearly in a way that has not been done before.

A €5 donation towards Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar’s fundraising projects is solicited.
