SUMMARY:Member Lecture—Sculpture and Scandal: The Life and Times of Anne Seymour Damer
DESCRIPTION:Member Lectures are available exclusively to Museum Members. Join today! \nJoin Hannah Segrave\, associate curator of European Art to 1800\, for a talk celebrating one of England’s most intriguing and trailblazing sculptors. \nArtist\, author\, actress\, and aristocrat—Anne Seymour Damer defied expectations to become one of the most notorious sculptors in 18th-century England: a woman who carved out a place in a male-dominated art world and paid the price in scandal. Segrave will offer a fascinating look at the Museum’s recent acquisition of Damer’s marble bust Peniston Lamb as Mercury\, and explore the remarkable life of a queer artist who sculpted royalty\, befriended Napoleon\, and forged her own path in the real era of Bridgerton \nGallery 202 will be open following the lecture to view Peniston Lamb as Mercury by Anne Seymour Damer.
