SOLD OUT: The Artful Landscapes of Ancient Rome: From House and Tomb to the Museum
If you missed out on in-person tickets for this lecture, virtual tickets are still available. Walk-in tickets may be available the day of the event.
Artists in Roman Italy created exquisite landscapes that reflect close ties with their environment, ranging from sunny seascapes and tranquil country shrines to vividly imagined views of Greece and Egypt. SAMA’s spring exhibition, Roman Landscapes: Visions of Nature and Myth from Rome and Pompeii, explores this inventive genre of Roman art through a selection of wall paintings, sculptures and luxury objects, many never before shown in the United States. In this lecture curator Jessica Powers offers a behind-the-scenes look at the exhibition, which will be on view from February 24-May 21, 2023.
