Metropolitan Museum of Art Masterpieces October 27, 2010

Jerrilynn D. Dodds, Dean of the College, Sarah Lawrence College

Each lecture in this series examines a single painting from the Metropolitan's collection to reveal a deep and vivid vision of each work in its time. We will explore, not only the artistic context, but the cultural and social meanings that the work reveals about its place and time. In the process, we will ask the question: what makes a masterpiece?
