For the first in a series of three colloquia in Fall 2022 designed to spark new conversations in the department’s Constellations program, Christopher Nygren will present selected material from his forthcoming essay “From the Quarry to the Studio,” written for the catalogue of the forthcoming exhibition A Timeless Wonder: Painting on Stone in Rome in the Seventeenth Century, opening at the Galleria Borghese on 25 October 2022.
