Interesting connections continue to be discovered across art, culture, and time. Join National Museum of Asian Art curator Kit Brooks and curators Renato Miracco and Susan Behrends Frank from The Phillips Collection for an in-gallery conversation about a surprising link between the painting Pigeons at Sensoji by Watanabe Seitei and the exhibition An Italian Impressionist in Paris: Giuseppe De Nittis at the Phillips Collection. Learn about Seitei’s influence on De Nittis’s art techniques and trace the overlapping timelines between the two artists that helped uncover this uncanny connection.
This event takes place at The Phillips Collection at 1600 21st Street NW in Washington, DC.
