Description
Each event in our Art in Focus series offers an opportunity for an hour of close looking and informal discussion around a single work of art, led by Curator of Education Michelle DiMarzo.
On October 26, we'll be looking together at this 19th-century copy of one of the Italian Renaissance painter Raphael's most famous works, The Transfiguration. Atop Mount Tabor, Christ appears radiant amid a halo of light, flanked by the prophets Moses and Elijah. Below, Raphael depicted a linked scene from the Gospel narrative: the unsuccessful attempt by Christ's apostles to cure a "possessed" youth. Join us for the opportunity to engage deeply with this work of art in a relaxed atmosphere. Reserve your seat now!
