The lesson for Baroque Art is posted  on Blackboard. A reminder to please look at the slides to help guide you through the readings. An appropriate image for the week is this altarpiece by the Flemish Baroque painter Anthony Van Dyck. The painting of Saint Rosalie interceding on behalf of the plague victims of Palermo, Italy is located today in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Met has reopened for timed entry but this altarpiece is not currently on display. However, you can see the painting online as part of the upcoming museum paper assignment that let’s us visit the museum virtually.
