Rebecca Albiani delights in introducing unfamiliar works of art and revisiting beloved artists in refreshing ways. Her 2010–11 program of ten lectures ranges from the formal restraint of Spanish still-lifes to the exuberance of Jan Steen, from the spirituality of Gothic architecture to the irreverence of the Monsters’ Grove at Bomarzo, Italy. Whether providing historical context for the exhibition Séance: Albert von Keller and the Occult (October 9, 2010–January 2, 2011) or deepening our under-standing of a lesser-known Impressionist painter, these lectures will educate and entertain.
