Cristina Carbone: Filson Art Lecture and tour of G. Caliman Coxe exhibit
Did you know that the Parthenon of Athens was built as a war memorial? Or that Caravaggio, one of the most famous painters of all time, was a convicted murderer? That Louis XIV fashioned his palace at Versailles after the universe with himself situated at its center as the Sun King? That the first photograph still exists and that you can watch the very first commercially shown film on YouTube? Cristina Carbone, PhD. will discuss great moments, artists and artworks in the history of western civilization, from Ancient Greece to Modern times. In this session, Dr. Carbone will give a lecture on Early American Art, including a tour of Understanding the Indescribable: Paintings by G. Caliman Coxe.
