Hans Holbein the Younger was among the most skilled, versatile, and inventive artists of the 16th century. He created captivating portraits of courtiers, merchants, scholars, and statesmen in Basel, Switzerland, and later in England, as court painter to Tudor King Henry VIII. Enriched by inscriptions, insignia, and evocative attributes, his portraits celebrate the individuals’ identities, values, aspirations, and achievements. This docent-led talk we’ll explore this Northern Renaissance artist whose distinctive style has given us the defining portrayals of such notable figures as Sir Thomas More, Erasmus and Thomas Cromwell.

Join music, art, literary, and dance historian Victoria Martino in a five-week lecture series, celebrating the 150th anniversary of Diaghilev by rediscovering and redefining the scope of his immeasurable influence on modern culture. Who was Sergei Diaghilev? Condemned by his own country as the ultimate exemplar of bourgeois decadence and depravity, he was excised from Soviet cultural history. Yet, in the international world of art, music, dance, and theater, he was revered, even idolized, as the greatest impresario of all time. Creator, critic, curator, Diaghilev played all these roles, defining for many the very meaning of contemporary art in the 20th century. In his role as founder and director of the legendary Ballets Russes, Diaghilev commissioned and patronized a veritable lexicon of artists, choreographers, composers, dancers, and designers: from Matisse to Picasso, Fokine to Massine, Debussy to Stravinsky, Nijinsky to Pavlova, Bakst to Chanel.

During the 19th century, the first truly American art movement began. This school embodied by a collective of landscape painters had an aesthetic vision driven by Romanticism. Importantly, Hudson River School paintings mirrored three themes of America in the 19th century: discovery, exploration, and settlement. Initially, these artists focused on depicting the Hudson River Valley and the surrounding areas, including the Adirondack, Catskill, and White Mountains. Later the second generation of painters expanded their vision to include other regions such as New England, the Maritimes, the American West, and South America. Thomas Cole is generally recognized as the founder of the Hudson River School. We are indeed fortunate to have a superb collection of second generation Hudson River School paintings in the Timken's American Gallery. This docent-led talk will highlight the Timken's masterpieces from this time period and discuss their prominence in the history of American art.
