In addition to the aesthetic beauty and the historic importance of a work of fine art is the story that unfolds on its canvas. One can truly ‘read’ a painting as one does a book, identifying central characters and imagining the dialogue that takes place between them. Many of the true masters in art history are the great storytellers, those who stimulate our imaginations and bring their subjects to life on canvas. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the storytelling in this docent-led talk.
