This is an in-person event.
Join Bader Curator of European Art Dr Suzanne van de Meerendonk for this conversational tour of the exhibition Studies in Solitude. She will discuss the historic understandings of solitude that informed the artworks on display and considers how those topics may find resonance in the present.

A specialist in Dutch seventeenth-century art and visual culture, her research interests include the role of art and propaganda in state-making processes, the formation of cultural memory and identity, and the history of collecting and provenance.
