In The Farrell Auditorium

Join Judy Mann, Senior Curator of European Art to 1800, for a captivating look at the vibrant artistic scene of early seventeenth-century Rome.

Around 1600, Rome underwent a dramatic transformation—becoming a magnet for painters eager to contribute to the city’s renewal. Mann will explore what it was like to work as an artist in this dynamic environment, offering insights into the works of Caravaggio, Bartolomeo Manfredi, and Artemisia Gentileschi—figures who helped define the bold and emotive style of the Baroque era.
