FREE WEBINAR | “Mona Lisa’s Smile: Representation of Emotion in Italian Renaissance and Baroque Art”
Presented by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero
Leonardo Da Vinci maintained that “A good painter has two main objects to paint – man and the intention of his soul.” What Leonardo means by the “intention of the soul” is what we would call “emotion”, and the entire history of art has been an attempt to communicate, evoke, provoke, sublimate, capture or simply to represent it. Join Dr. Rocky for this free webinar where he will explore how affective states were represented in the Renaissance and Baroque periods by examining some of the most iconic works produced by the great artists of the periods such as Giotto, Donatello, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Bernini, and Caravaggio.
The webinar will include a 45-minute lecture followed by 15-minutes of Q&A.
