SUMMARY:Exciting Discoveries in Art History
DESCRIPTION:Who doesn’t love learning about a priceless painting found in an attic? Or a sculpture sitting for decades in a public garden\, only to be found out as an Italian treasure? \nAfter finding herself in the middle of her own art history discovery when she uncovered the provenance of a Rodin sculpture sitting in Madison\, NJ’s town hall\, Mallory Mortillaro learned just how many times this has happened before. Her lecture explores the stories of several different important and valuable works of art that have been rediscovered in unexpected places\, reviewing how they came to be “lost and found”. \nAll programs of the Essex Library are free and open to the public. Registration is required for this virtual program. Register HERE or by calling the library at 860767-1560. \nAbout Mallory Mortillaro Mallory Mortillaro serves as the Curator of Collections for the Hartley Dodge Foundation in Madison\, NJ and is an art historian and educator. She has ten years of teaching experience\, and has worked on various art research projects for museums and organizations in the New York metropolitan area. She has a bachelor’s degree in Art History and English from Drew University and is a graduate of the University’s Caspersen School of Graduate Studies.
