Don't miss this historic exhibition of works by the masters of Spain's Golden Age. The show features monumental altar pieces, life-size portraits and some of the earliest still-life paintings in Europe. Many works are traveling to this country for the first time and the exhibition will show in only two places: the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University. You can view some of the works online (www.mfa.org/files/flash/elgreco), but you have to see them in person to experience their grandeur and pageantry.
Your $100 entrance fee entitles you to:
- Light dinner, dessert, and open beer/wine bar
- Educational program with the Nasher Museum's Sarah Schroth, who has devoted 20 years of research to these works. Revisit the excitement of taking art history at Duke, except this time, the works of art are right outside the classroom.
- Private viewing of the exhibition free of the daytime crowds
Read more about the exhibition in the April 28 edition of Time Magazine or the May/June issue of Duke Magazine, arriving in mailboxes soon. |
