Ninian Comper at Pusey House
Thursday 29 May 2025
More info:
In 1935, Frederic Hood, the House's then Principal, commissioned his friend Ninian Comper to reorder the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament at Pusey House. The resulting scheme, complete with its golden ciborium, is a perfect example of Comper’s later style: ‘unity by inclusion’.
This lecture, presented by the Atchitectural Historian (and former Sacristan of the House), Harry Spain will examine the theory and significance of Comper’s work here, tracing his sources of inspiration from 4th century Algeria to Botticelli, whilst also exploring Comper’s connexion to Oxford and the work of Pusey House itself.
Where:
