We will begin the Curator in Your Computer series by embarking on an enlightening journey through one of the most revolutionary periods in Flemish art history with Lloyd DeWitt, PhD, Chief Curator and Irene Leache Curator of European Art. Using the Chrysler collection as a guide, explore the tremendous change, turmoil, and progress of Flemish art in the 1500s and 1600s as presented by artists Hieronymous Bosch, Peter Paul Rubens, and David Teniers the Younger.
