The Timken Museum of Art offers a rare and intimate encounter with world-renowned European Old Master paintings as well as 19th-century American art and a unique collection of Russian icons. In today’s virtual talk, we invite you to step inside the Museum and explore one of the greatest collections of paintings from the comfort of your home. Prepare to be fascinated by the creative skills of the great masters as we consider what might have inspired them within the context of their time and place. Why did Eastman Johnson create seventeen oil paintings of cranberry harvesting in Nantucket before he was satisfied with his iconic work completed in 1880? And, what might Cooper Penrose, a Quaker, have been thinking about when he risked being expelled from the religious Society by asking Jacques-Louis David to paint his portrait? Find out answers to these questions, and more, in today’s virtual journey.
