W26-01 The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: Angels and Devils in Art NEW
Class | Registration opens 12/7/2025 9:00 AM EDT
The history of art is filled with good guys and bad guys, angels and devils, beautiful things and ugly things. It was bad that the Cathedral of Notre-Dame burned to the ground on April 15 2019. What was good was the world wide response to restore it. Claude Monet created the most beautiful paintings of gardens and landscapes at his home in Giverny. Michelangelo painted an epic masterpiece in the Sistine Chapel. The Tudors employed some of the greatest court painters but had some of the worst monarchs and one of the best. Forgers and art thieves are the bad actors of art history, yet even their fakes are worth money. Art history is replete with ugly monsters, dragons and demons, yet some symbolize power and some are employed in useful services.
