The Worn Animal: Furs and Perfume in Venetian Art
The Chilton Club, 287 Dartmouth Street, Boston
Art historian Jodi Cranston (Boston University) discusses the animal products that early modern Venetians used, including decorative furs, gloves, and musk. Utilizing a wide selection of portraits and paintings, Cranston considers how we should interpret these depicted animal products as not solely signs of wealth, but also of 16th-century Venetian interest in sensorial memories and in talismans.
Held at The Chilton Club 287 Dartmouth Street, Boston.
Reception 6:15 p.m., Lecture 7:00 p.m.
Parking is available on-street or at the Back Bay Garage.
The Chilton Club requires men to wear a jacket with collared shirt (ties suggested) and women to wear dresses, skirts, dress pants, or suits with commensurate footwear.
