Date and Time
Friday, April 19, 2024

6–7 pm

Location
The Met Fifth Avenue

The Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium

Hugo Chapman, Simon Sainsbury Keeper of Prints and Drawings, The British Museum

In the second Michael and Juliet Rubenstein Lecture on Connoisseurship, Hugo Chapman discusses how he fell under the spell of Raphael's drawings as a student, the ups and downs of working in an auction house, and the challenges of putting a name to every Italian drawing in the British Museum when the collection was digitized. Learn how connoisseurship has become a more collaborative exercise and how close looking can still yield surprising discoveries.

This annual series is made possible by the Michael A. and Juliet van Vliet Rubenstein Fund.
