Join us for the next FOA webinar on Wednesday, February 18th at 7:00pm ET: "'An elegance of spirit adorns all its works.': Auguste Rodin and the Art of Ancient Egypt," presented by Dr. Carl Walsh. Most people would not conceive of any connection between the works of the master French sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840–1917) and the art of ancient Egypt. In this talk, Dr. Walsh will discuss how Rodin became interested in ancient Egyptian art in his waning years and the profound—if subtle—impact it had on the sculptor’s practice through the objects in the current exhibition Rodin’s Egypt, now on display at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University.
