Sunday, March 30, at 2pm
In this talk, Teio Meedendorp from Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum will discuss the history of the Hospital Saint-Paul de-Mausole in Saint-Rémy, France where Vincent van Gogh admitted himself in 1889 and created over 150 paintings. One of these paintings is Getty’s beloved Irises, which is the focus of Ultra-Violet: New Light on Van Gogh’s Irises, an exhibition on view through January 19 at the Getty Museum that presents new research about how its pigments have faded over time. After the event, visit the exhibition to learn how Van Gogh originally intended this painting to look.

Breaking Barriers: Sophie Fremiet and the Rise of Women Artists in Europe
Getty Center & Online
Sunday, May 4, at 2pm
Around the turn of the 18th century, over a thousand women contributed more than 7,000 works to London's and Paris’ premier exhibitions. It was a transformative moment for women artists in Europe, who exhibited and sold their art in unprecedented numbers. In this context, Sophie Fremiet painted her luminous Portrait of a Woman. Art historian Paris A. Spies-Gans delves into this era to upend longstanding assumptions about women’s opportunities and wrongly forgotten triumphs.
