François-André Vincent, Caricature of the Painter Pierre-Charles Jombert, 1773-1775, black chalk, Metropolitan Museum of Art
I’ll be giving an “Art in Context” lecture at the Kimbell Museum of Art on October 7th, 2015, at 12:30 pm.
From the Kimbell’s site:
About this lecture: Winning the Prix de Rome was the capstone in an aspiring artist’s career in eighteenth-century France. This talk examines the history of the French Academy in Rome as a site for social networking and forming friendships with other young artists from all over Europe. Jessica Fripp will discuss a group of artists who were in Rome between roughly 1771 and 1774, focusing on a large group of caricatures and paintings by the French painter François-André Vincent (1746–1816).
Free; no reservations required. Seating is limited.
Kahn Auditorium
Also to note, my colleague at TCU, Babette Bohn, will be speaking in the same series on December 2nd, “Color is the keyboard”: Drawing with Color in Early Modern Italy.”
