Quesnel & District Leisure Services will start A History of European Art DVD series, showing at the Arts and Recreation Centre’s Artrium, Sunday Feb. 6 at 1 p.m. Every Sunday the series will survey the great monuments of European painting, sculpture, and architecture from the age of Charlemagne to the onset of World War II.
The major works by the greatest visual artists of a millennium of Western civilization will be examined, including extensive considerations of such important artists as Giotto, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Caravaggio, Rembrandt and Monet. These artists and their masterpieces will be placed in the political, religious and social context of their time.
The DVD lecture series is presented by Professor William Kloss, an independent art historian and lecturer for the Smithsonian Institute‘s seminar program. He has delivered hundreds of courses and lectures around the world on a range of European and American art to such prestigious universities and institutions as the University of Virginia, The Art Institute of Chicago and Sotheby’s Institute.
Everyone is welcome to attend this free lecture series; no registration is required. The Artrium, housing Quesnel’s permanent art collection, is located in the Quesnel and District Arts & Recreation Centre at 500 North Star Rd.
