Member Event: A Closer Look with Curator Maggie Dimock

Join The Olana Partnership Associate Curator Maggie Dimock for an exclusive guided exploration of A Closer Look: Frederic Church’s Atmospheric Eye.

Inspired by mid-19th century advances in the scientific study of natural phenomena, Frederic Church made repeated oil studies, sketches, and dramatic finished canvas paintings depicting atmospheric spectacles produced by the effects of sunlight, including rainbows, sunbeams, and the aurora borealis. In Frederic Church’s Atmospheric Eye, enjoy a close examination of Church’s intimate painted studies of these phenomena.

This is an exclusive member event. Space is limited to the member and a guest. RSVP is required. Email Hannah Diamond at hdiamond@olana.org or call 518-751-6857.
