Member Lecture—Rome in the Time of Caravaggio

Member Lectures are available exclusively to Museum Members. Join today! Join Judith Mann, senior curator of European art to 1800, for a captivating look at the vibrant artistic scene of early 17th-century Rome. Around 1600, Rome underwent a dramatic transformation—becoming a magnet for painters eager to contribute to the city’s renewal. Mann will explore what it was like to work as an artist in this dynamic environment, offering insights into the works of Caravaggio, Bartolomeo Manfredi, and Artemisia Gentileschi—figures who helped define the bold and emotive style of the Baroque era.
