History of Art: Italian Renaissance

A lecture at the Doral Cultural Arts Center explores the Baroque period through the work of influential European artists. Taking place Thursday, May 7, this fourth installment of an ongoing art history series is led by William Alonso and focuses on the dramatic visual language that defined the era. The program examines how artists used light, composition and emotion to reshape storytelling in painting.

The lecture highlights figures such as Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Carracci and Frans Hals, offering context on their techniques and contributions to the development of realism and narrative depth. Designed for both art enthusiasts and general audiences, the session provides an accessible overview of key movements and masterpieces.

The lecture is presented in Spanish and is open to all ages, with free parking available on site.
