ZOOM DOCENT TOUR: Glimpses of Life in 17th-Century Dutch Art
Interactive Tour with a Docent from the National Gallery of Art. SPACE IS LIMITED. TOUR IS FOR LFV and Friendship Heights Neighbors Network MEMBERS & VOLUNTEERS. The Zoom login info will be sent to confirmed registrants.
The 17th century in the Netherlands was a time of remarkable prosperity and artistic output. It has been estimated that between five and ten million works of art were produced during this period. This tour will give us a chance to step back in time and get a feel for what it was like to live in those days. The works we will see give us insight into Dutch culture and the specialties of the artists in a very competitive art market. Estelle Quain, a National Gallery docent and Friendship Heights Neighbors Network member, will lead us on this Zoom tour. The event is a collaboration between LFV and FHNN.
