HESCAH Lecture
Women Artists, Nudes and Models: Observation and Imagination in Early Modern Europe
Thursday, September 19
6:00 – 7:30 pm
With Dr. Patricia Simons, Professor Emerita, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; Professorial Fellow, University of Melbourne
By exploring ways in which women artists managed to present nude figures, male and female, despite institutional barriers, this lecture takes gender analysis beyond the study of biography. The core examples are works by Lavinia Fontana (1604–13) and Angelica Kauffman (1780).
Reception to follow in the Harn Galleria. Free and open to the public.
Organized by the Harn Eminent Scholar Chair in Art History Committee of the School of Art + Art History in cooperation with the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art.
