Getty V.P. Ron Hartwig invites Episcopalians to view two major exhibits of religious art
Ron Hartwig, vice-president of communications and corporate relations at the J. Paul Getty Trust, and an active member of the Diocese of Los Angeles, invites the diocesan community to visit the Getty Center for two upcoming shows "of extraordinarily beautiful work and highly religious content."
Opening November 18 and continuing through February 8, "The Belles Heures of the Duke of Berry," one of the most beloved and sumptous books of the Middle Ages will be on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center. Painted by the Limbourg brothers when the art of manuscript illumination in France reached new heights of elegance and sophistication, the book, in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will be presented with its individual leaves unbound. The resulting display offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the visitor to walk through the book to view all of its major miniatures.
"Captured Emotions: Baroque Painting in Bologna, 1575-1725," open December 16 through May 3, will tell the extraordinary story of how a small group of artists from Bologna changed the course of art history in the late sixteenth century. The exhibit will focus particularly on the Carracci family, who reinvigorated the art of painting with tremendous energy and vitality. Their achievement set standards that remained authoritative for more than two centuries. A selection of 27 key works by the Carracci and their followers--most never exhibited before in North America--are on loan from the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, one of the world's premier collections of old master paintings. This exhibition has been co-organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
The Getty Center is located at 1200 Getty Center Drive, Los Angeles. Admission to the Center and all exhibitions is free-no tickets or reservations are required for general admission. Parking is $10 per car. For further information, click here. |
