Studies in Extremes―From Beheadings to Geographies of the Soul


Presented by Linda Blair

Online On Demand:

Saturday, November 13, 10 AM–Monday, November 15, 2021, 10 PM


Contained within just one century, the pendulum of art careened from the mysterious serenity of Vermeer to the shocking ferocity of Caravaggio's beheadings; the lusty sensuality of Rubens to the intelligent rectitude of Velázquez; Frans Hals’ jump-out-of-the-canvas lively personalities to Rembrandt’s profound penetration of the soul.
