Details:
Sandro Botticelli (1445 – 1510) was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance. His reputation suffered until British artists, the Pre-Raphaelites, rediscovered him in the late 19th century. Drawn to the linear aspects of Botticelli’s style and Italian Gothic art in general, they quickly revived Botticelli’s work. He painted some of the first Classical mythological themes in Renaissance painting and his full body of work reflects tumultuous religious and political changes in Florence. Pippa Drew has a BFA from the University of Massachusetts, and in 1993 she received her Master of Arts in Liberal Studies from Dartmouth College with a thesis in painting. After completing her MALS, she co-taught an interdisciplinary art and math class for 4 years at Dartmouth which was funded by the National Science Foundation. Pippa has also taught classes at AVA Art Gallery in Lebanon and the NH League of Craftsmen. Her work has been shown at the Painting Center in New York City and in several Upper Valley art galleries, including the Library Arts Center, Newport, NH, and the Main Rotunda at Dartmouth Hitchcock Hospital. She has enjoyed giving art history lectures at Valley Terrace, Harvest Hill, and Bugbee Senior Center since 2017. Pippa has lived in Thetford, Vermont with her husband, an acoustic guitar builder, since 1992. No sign up required. Suggested donation of 3-5.
