The Metropolitan Museum in New York City re-opened its European Paintings: 1300-1800 galleries, following a $150 million project replacing skylights and artificial lighting, and re-installing 700 artworks. The much-anticipated new installation mixes different regions, cultures, and styles, pairs traditional and modern artworks, emphasizes women and previously overlooked artists, and thus offers a revision of the story of European painting. Touring the first half of the galleries, we will have a comparative exploration of works by Tiepolo, Cézanne, El Greco, Picasso, Caravaggio, and others, through vividly detailed images.
The Met in New Light, Part 2 will take place on Tuesday, 5/14, at 7 PM. The class will cover all new material. Click here to register for The Met in New Light, Part 2.
