SUMMARY:Classical Washington: Greece and Rome in the Art and Architecture of DC
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free virtual talk on Wednesday\, May 1\, at 6 PM Central. Registration required. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_qGNBDPkWRKWJUSOevFDg_A#/registration\nJoin art historian Elise Friedland for a free virtual talk on her investigation of the meaning and reception of Classical art and architecture in our nation’s capital. \nWashington\, D.C.\, is a city like no other in the United States. A Greek Doric temple (the Lincoln Memorial) sits at one end of the city’s central forum (The Mall)\, housing a colossal cult statue (Abraham Lincoln). A Roman triumphal arch monumentalizes the front of the main train depot (Union Station). Roman equestrian statues stand amidst circular plazas\, celebrating victorious American generals (Andrew Jackson in Lafayette Plaza). This talk explores the role of Greek and Roman art and architecture in the planning\, building and decorating of America’s capital city. \nThis discussion provides broader historical perspective for Neoclassical architecture in Nashville\, especially the choice of Neoclassical models and styles used for the Centennial Exposition of 1897. \nThis lecture is the Archaeological Institute for America John H. and Penelope Biggs Lecture for 2025\, a grant awarded to the AIA Nashville Society.
