     As an art medium, marble has played a significant role in art history for over two millennia. This lecture series will bring together a collection of some of the best and most awe-inspiring examples of marble sculpture ever created, from iconic ancient works like “Venus de Milo,” to Renaissance achievements like Michelangelo’s “David,” to masterpieces of early Modernism like Rodin’s “The Kiss.” Lectures will explore the enduring appeal of marble as a medium - particularly for sculptures of the human figure - and the ways in which works from various time periods reveal important cultural and aesthetic differences between eras of art history.

    [A Zoom link will be sent to you prior to each session, typically on the day before your class and the morning of your class.  If you have any questions or need help getting online, feel free to call us at 516-480-5733 and we’ll get right back to you with assistance.]
