Gallery Talk on ANVERSA E GENOVA: RUBENS’S GENOESE CONNECTION (Sackler Museum, Cambridge)

Gallery Talk by Edward Wouk, PhD candidate, Department of History of Art and Architecture, Harvard University.

This talk, related to the installation Rubens and the Baroque Festival, places the artist’s decoration for the entry of the Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand of Spain into Antwerp (1635) in the context of a long- standing relationship between that bustling metropolis in the north and Genoa, an important Mediterranean harbor in Italy. Rubens and the Baroque Festival is one of a series of rotating thematic installations on display in conjunction with the ongoing exhibition Re-View.

The exhibition is on view March 19 through August 28, 2010 at the Harvard Art Museum/Arthur M. Sackler Museum.

Free with the price of admission. Open to the public. Gallery talks are informal and include discussion. Limited to 25 participants; please arrive early.
