The ACM Florence Program will sponsor a public lecture on March 16 by Dr. Julia A. Sienkewicz on "Transatlantic Visions: the Role of Florence in Horatio Greenough and Thomas Cole’s View on American Art."
The lecture will illuminate artistic connections between Florence and the U.S., focusing on a pair of 19th century American artists who were influenced by the time they spent living and working in Florence. "Greenough and Cole were interested in creating a new type of art for the United States," said Sienkewicz, who is Assistant Professor of Art History at Auburn University Montgomery.
Students on ACM's fall Florence: Arts, Humanities, & Culture program have the rare opportunity to tap into a connection that stretches across the centuries to Greenough when they study figure drawing at the Charles H. Cecil Studios, which will host Sienkewicz's presentation. Read more
