About

Speaker: David Brauer, senior lecturer, Glassell School of Art

Prior to the modern period, the function of paintings was to tell stories, and those who commissioned the paintings knew the stories. This lecture focuses on biblical, mythological, and literary stories depicted in Italian Old Master paintings. Presented in conjunction with the Blaffer and European collections at the MFAH.
