Join our Morgan docents as they guide you on an up-close and virtual exploration and discussion of several works in the Morgan’s temporary exhibition Spirit and Invention: Drawings by Giambattista and Domenico Tiepolo.

We will look closely at some of the highlights from the exhibition, exploring Tiepolos’ process of drawing figures – both for independent works and in preparation for the monumental 18th century frescoes and ceiling paintings that still decorate palaces and churches throughout Italy and beyond.

Please note that the program will take place online. After registering, participants will receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to participate using Zoom. We ask that you download the app in advance for the best user experience.
