Art History Lecture Series | To Light a Single Candle
This lecture explores the use of candles as subject and dramatic lighting in Baroque era paintings, examining their symbolism in works by artists like Georges de la Tour, Rembrandt, and Mihály de Munkácsy. It is part of the Frye Art Museum's Art History Lecture Series led by art historian Rebecca Albiani. The series offers context to deepen understanding of works on view at the museum.
