This presentation was so informative! I was unable to attend live, so I watched the recording. I was very impressed with the speakers engagement with the solo viewer who was there. Their discussion was so enlightening and I ended up watching all of that and taking notes. It inspired me to read additional material about Velázquez. I am now ready to visit Prado museum next month!
Provocative and educational. Great 1.5hrs
The lecturer was superb. Her presentation was clear and enlightening. this complex painting from multiple perspectives, but never loses the student.
A really thoughtful and thought-provoking presentation about a deliberately elusive and clever .picture!
terrific choice of topics. something for everyone.
