European Tour Live: Italy
For this season of virtual art presentations, Joe Caliva, a docent at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia and host of the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America's Improving Lives through Art series, will return to take us on a virtual trip to Europe, focusing on the art and artists from two countries with very different histories in the world of art.
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, simply known as "Caravaggio," and Artemisia Gentileschi are two artists whose names are synonymous with the Italian Baroque period and style. In this virtual tour, we'll walk in the footsteps of both artists through the streets of Rome, Florence, and Naples, Italy, to explore more deeply how their work changed the course of art history forever.
ABOUT JOE
Joe Caliva is a professional musician, educator, and art docent at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia. Since 2020, his studies, research, and specialization has focused on how historic artists used their art to cope with personal challenges, illness, and trauma. In many cases, their art also served as a therapeutic means to healing. In this European Tour Series, Joe will also share some of his research concerning the connection between art as a coping mechanism with all four of the featured artists.
