Join us for an informal conversation about this extraordinary aquatint, touched with real gold!
All that glitters…is gold , in this case! Our final edition of Art in Focus this fall, takes a look at this extraordinary print by Maria Katherina Prestel . Prestel has only recently been rediscovered by print historians, as she worked for her husband, Johann Prestel, and his initials appear rather than hers on many of the works.
Join us at 12 noon on December 12 in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries for informal conversation about this work, led by Curator of Education Michelle DiMarzo, PhD. This work is included in the exhibition Ink and Time: European Prints from the Wetmore Collection (Bellarmine Hall Galleries, September 12 - December 21, 2024). Click here for more information about the exhibition.
