Name of Event: Still Life Eat Fruit Art Class

ABOUT THIS EVENT

The Vancouver Visual Art Foundation invites you to get creative with our Online Art Class series.

STILL LIFE EAT FRUIT

Caravaggio (1571-1610) is for sure a star and one of the most contradictory and scandalous artists. His innovative artistry is recognized as the bridge between the Mannerist style typified by Michelangelo Buonarroti, Agnolo Bronzino, Titian of the High Renaissance and the Baroque splendor of Rubens and Rembrandt. His paintings and persona have entered popular culture, and his portrait and two of his works were featured on the old 100,000 lire banknote of Italy.

Join Elena Nahum Leroy as she guides you step-by-step to one of Caravaggio’s most famous paintings ‘Still Life with a Basket of Fruit’ using acrylic paint.

No experience necessary.
