Old Masters in Context: Naples, Sacred and Profane
This event has passed.
Royal intrigue and art history intertwine in an evening led by Dr. John Witty, Assistant Curator at the Lowe Art Museum. Specializing in fourteenth-century Italian art, Witty will illuminate how donor portraits in an altarpiece from the museum’s Kress Collection can be identified as claimants to the throne of Queen Johanna I of Naples. The program will also feature a performance of period music by the vocal ensemble Ampersand, adding a vivid dimension to the historical context. This event takes place Thursday, November 6.
