Topics
For centuries, collecting has been a lens through which people organize and understand the world around them, finding expression in assemblies of diverse objects, gathered from around the globe. Join Meredith Fluke, director of the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery at the College of the Holy Cross, to discuss Europeans’ collecting craze in the 16th and 17th centuries, a time of wide-ranging travel and discovery, where the objects collected reveal the distinctive world-views of their collectors.
