Oct 22, 2024
From: 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM
Step into eighteenth-century Naples on Tuesday, October 22, at the Lowe Art Museum for Napoli Nobilissima: Art and Music in Eighteenth-Century Italy. Presented as part of the Lowe Ignite series, this evening brings to life the artistic and cultural richness of Naples under Spanish Bourbon rule. Dr. Jill Deupi, the Lowe’s Beaux Arts Director and Chief Curator, will offer insights into this period through Giacinto Diano’s The Martyrdom of Saint Catherine, part of the museum's Samuel H. Kress Collection. Following the lecture, IlluminArts will present a program of period music featuring soprano Clara Rottsolk, harpsichordist Noah Sonderling, and trumpeter Lucas Balslov, performing works by composers such as Barbara Strozzi and Alessandro Scarlatti. A public reception with wine and hors d'oeuvres will conclude the evening.
