9/16/2024 - Art History’s Best Dressed on October 11, 2024

On Friday, October 11, 2024 from 2-3:30pm on Zoom, join us for a virtual program and learn more about fashion in art history.

Satins, silks, velvets and furs - through the years, artists have flattered their subjects with beautiful clothes rendered with awe-inspiring detail. Join us as we explore some of the great fashions throughout the history of painting (with a few wardrobe malfunctions thrown in for good measure!).

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 is a New Hampshire native and has worked at some of the state's most esteemed cultural institutions, including the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, where she served as Executive Director, and the Currier Museum of Art, where she held the role of Senior Educator.
