European Art, 1530-1760 at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive

IN PRAISE OF VIRTUE

a private tour with Alan Templeton

Join us for a rare look at five paintings in UC Berkeley's collection, taken out of storage on this special occasion in conversation with the Berkeley Institute’s semester theme.

We will delve into different facets of virtue through depictions of famous scenes and figures of the Christian tradition. The underlying themes are universal: kindness, generosity, contemplation, tenderness and bravery. These works were meant as both beautiful decorations, and aids to prayer and reflection. Together we will bring them to life.

The tour is open to students and faculty only. Space is limited, RSVP required.
