Art history film series to screen ‘Leonardo’ March 6, 27
The Rehoboth Beach Film Society's Journeys in Art History film series introduces the works of history's greatest painters and provides opportunities to view blockbuster art exhibitions from galleries worldwide.
"Leonardo: From the National Gallery, London" will be screened at 1:30 p.m., Tuesday, March 6 and March 27. Screenings will take place at the Cinema Art Theater, 17701 Dartmouth Drive, Dartmouth Plaza behind the Lewes Wawa.
A once-in-a-lifetime event at London's National Gallery assembled the largest-ever collection of Leonardo's surviving paintings for a unique exhibition, Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan. Given exclusive access to the opening night of the exhibition, the film captures the excitement of the occasion and provides a fascinating exploration of Leonardo's great works.
Art historian and broadcaster Tim Marlow offers his insight into the great masterpieces and invites the opinions of the curators, restorers and other specially invited guests. Interwoven is an insightful biography filmed at the locations of Leonardo's life as well as exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the preparations of what was undoubtedly a once-only exhibition which also included the first newly attributed Leonardo in over a century.
Admission is $9 for members and $10 for nonmembers. To purchase tickets, go to www.rehobothfilm.com or call 302-645-9095. Available seats will be sold at the door 30 minutes before starting time.
