SUMMARY:Recounting the Revolution: History and Meaning of Leutze’s The News of Lexington
DESCRIPTION:Best known for his iconic painting Washington Crossing the Delaware\, German-American artist Emanuel Leutze also painted other scenes of the American Revolution. One of these\, The News of Lexington (1852)\, portrays local townsfolk receiving word of the battle that launched the Revolution. Recently conserved with support from the Wyeth Foundation of American Art\, the painting is now on display at the Lexington Depot. Join art scholar Kate Criscitiello as she explores the history of this fascinating painting and reexamines its meaning within the political and social context of 19th-century America. \nThis talk will be followed by a reception to ask questions\, examine the painting more closely\, and enjoy light refreshments with the speaker. \nAbout Our Speaker: \nArt historian Kate Criscitiello most recently served as the Assistant Curator at the Lexington History Museums\, where she led the curation of the special exhibition Swept Up in Revolution. A passionate advocate for New England history\, Kate serves on the Board of Trustees at the House of the Seven Gables. She has also worked as a Graduate Scholar with the Center for Painted Wall Preservation\, contributing to the creation of a virtual museum of New England’s painted walls. Kate holds a master’s degree in art history and museum studies from Tufts University. \n$10 members\, $15 nonmembers
