A “Let’s Talk Art” lecture will be held this week on Italian Renaissance artist Sofonisba Anguissola, whose career created a gateway for future generations of women artists.
The lecture will be held at 5 pm on Oct. 16at the Hammond Regional Arts Center and given by Skyler Simoneaux, an art history graduate in the College of Fine and Performing Arts.
“Originally, I chose to focus on Sofonisba because of her lessons with Michelangelo, but very quickly fell in love with her tenacious personality, and her ability to transfer the emotions of her subject onto the canvas with simple ease,” said Simoneaux.
