| Event Description |
“Art is a mirror held up to the society which birthed it, a whisper from long ago history. It is a code message sent to a timeless future: this is who we were; what we believed; what we valued.”
— LINDA BLAIR
It is not an overstatement to refer to 17th century Dutch art as the Golden Age, for it is one of the most glorious eras in Western art. In the space of just three to four generations, tiny Holland bursts forth with genius—Rembrandt, Vermeer, Frans Hals, and many other brilliant, inventive artists. In addition, the Golden Age is uniquely innovative: true landscape painting is conceived; still life paintings acquire new, expressive language; Europe’s very first genre art is created; and portraiture is enlarged by canvases that define and expand the depiction of our humanity. Join us for this dip into one of the most productive periods in art history on five Thursdays this fall: September 5, 12, 19, and 26, and October 3.Tickets are available for the series or individual lectures. |
