This lecture challenges the notion that Spain was the sole center of artistic brilliance during the Golden Age. It explores how many outstanding Spanish artists such as Artemisia Gentileschi and Peter Paul Rubens flourished outside the Iberian Peninsula. In preparation for a loan exhibition, this lecture will investigate the teeming Naples of Artemisia Gentileschi and the bustling Antwerp of Peter Paul Rubens. Join Dr. Frederick Ilchman, Chair, Art of Europe, at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, as he provides an insider’s look.
