The AIC/CSO Education Seminar presents a study of works from the Art Institute's stellar collection of Old Masters from the 15th through the 19th century. The lecture provides a preview of the upcoming exhibition Capturing the Sublime: Italian Drawings from the Renaissance and the Baroque. Suzanne McCullagh draws upon highlights of the exhibition and the museum's collection to demonstrate how a discerning eye guides the selection and appreciation of artworks that communicate our greatest stories and ambitions. Chicago Symphony Orchestra musicians complement the lecture with a presentation on the music of the era.
