Join this lively conversation on the significance of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris with three of the talented minds responsible for bringing Gods and Heroes to Portland. Hear insights on the development of the exhibition and its approximately 140 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper dating from the 17th through the 19th centuries. The panel will address some of the epic themes represented such as courage, sacrifice, and death, as well as the ways that changing political and philosophical systems affected the choice and execution of these subjects by artists such as Jacques-Louis David, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, François Boucher, and Rembrandt van Rijn.
