Interested in art and science? Join us as 51ÁÔÆæ Art History graduate student, Maria Muto, guides you through an exploration of how the invention of the telescope revolutionized the way we see, interpret, and represent the moon in art. Maria studies 17th & 18th century European art and will discuss how 17th century European artists were able to explore the moon with newfound clarity featuring works by Galileo Galilei, Ludovico Cigoli, Aer van der Neer, and more. Maria will take us on a journey to 17th century Europe to explore how the invention of the telescope changed the way artists depicted the moon in their works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program is open to the public and will include an indoor stargazing session of the night sky followed by the opportunity to ask questions. Not recommended for children under 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
