OLIVIER  BERNIER

Success, Luxury and Peter Paul Rubens: the man who invented the Baroque
Sunday, December 6^th 3:00 pm
Classroom Building – Room 200 

Peter Paul Ruben was the most admired and the richest artist of the age; he was held in such respect that he was sent as ambassador to England by the Spanish authorities.  Twice married, he was always a happy, faithful husband and devoted father.  All through the first half of the 17th century, Peter Paul Rubens was the very picture of success. Even more important as Mannerism came to an end, it was Rubens who, in painting, invented the Baroque: theatrically dramatic compositions that provided both interest and emotion. As for his portraits, there wasn't a single monarch in Europe who did not yearn to be painted by him. 

Art historian, author, and Metropolitan Museum of Art lecturer Olivier Bernier will deliver a lecture, hosted by President Joseph N. Hankin, and sponsored by the Jack and Ralynn Stadler Distinguished Chair for Art and Culture in Society.  

Tickets are free, however reservations are required.  Please call Westchester Community College Foundation at 914-606-6558 to reserve.
