DESCRIPTION:Object of the Month \nFree for Members | Included with general admission for the general public \nReserve your spot at the Visitor Services desk.  \nJoin Museum Docents for an in-depth exploration of a single work of art. These 30-minute\, interactive gallery talks spark connections and conversation about the featured object’s history\, meaning\, and relationship to other works in the collection. \nGiovanni Francesco Barbieri\, Madonna and Child \nThis May\, as we honor the mothers in our lives\, join Master Docent Sherry Koopot for an exploration of Baroque painter Giovanni Francesco Barbieri’s Madonna and Child. In Christian art\, Mary has long been depicted as the devoted mother of the infant Jesus. However\, in today’s context\, she represents far more-embodying maternal compassion\, motherhood\, and the strength of femininity.
