Gallery Talk: Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment

Gallery Talk: Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment

Presented by Harvard Art Museums at Harvard Art Museums

Join curator Joachim Homann for an in-depth discussion about a rare, intact example of French inventor Louis Carrogis de Carmontelle’s multisheet drawings on translucent paper. The work, which appears in the special exhibition Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment, was originally attached to rollers, lit from behind with candles, and unfurled for a captive audience. Homann will detail the impressive technology of the piece.
