9/28/2022 - Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel on October 21, 2022

On Friday, October 21st, 2022 from 2-3:30pm on Zoom and streamed to the Kingsley Room, join us for a virtual program and learn more about the artwork of the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo.

The Sistine Chapel is one of the most beautiful and most famous works of art in the world. Dive into Michelangelo’s inspiration and process (did he really lie down as he painted the ceiling?) and consider how the masterwork has been altered by time and restoration.

Jane Oneail is an independent scholar and holds a Master's in Art History from Boston University and a Master's in Art in Education from Harvard University. Jane has also taught at the college level for more than a decade, most recently at Southern NH University.
