    Two-Point Perspective Gallery Talk

    Ivan Gaskell, Margaret S. Winthrop Curator, Harvard Art Museum/Fogg Museum, and senior lecturer, Department of History, Harvard University
    Robert Scanlan, professor of the practice of theater, Harvard University

    Much of what we think of as theatrical (costumes, arrangements, framing) was invented by painters. This applies to Rubens’s arches and stages for the procession of the Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand through Antwerp in 1635. Yet actors also performed in these settings. The speakers will examine both the theatricality of the decorations and the various performances. In connection with the temporary installation Rubens and the Baroque Festival, on view March 19—August 29, 2010 at the Harvard Art Museum/Arthur M. Sackler Museum.

    This popular series considers objects from more than one point of view. The informal talks, many of them by Harvard Art Museum curators, conservators, and educators and Harvard University faculty members, are designed to stimulate thinking about works of art and encourage participants to explore their own ways of seeing.

    Free with the price of admission. Open to the public.
    Gallery talks are informal and include discussion. Limited to 25 participants; please arrive early.
