Dr. Alexandra Carpino, Professor of Art History and Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Letters, will give her lecture “Quintessentially Etruscan: Art, Architecture + Mythology” at the Legion of Honor Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco on February 22 from 2-3pm, hosted by the Ancient Art Council.
According to Dr. Carpino: “This lecture highlights works that are quintessentially Etruscan in form and content, with a special focus on engraved bronze mirrors. Etruscan art stands out for its sophisticated mastery of terracotta and metal, its vividly expressive style, and its memorable content, all of which bring to life a remarkable Mediterranean culture that thrived for over a millennium in ancient Italy.”
