On this tour, Arielle Frommer ’25 will explore how art has been inspired and informed by poetry. The stops on the tour are A Sea-Spell (1875–77), a painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti that features a poem by the artist on a frame he designed; a Safavid Persian torch stand inscribed with passionate verses; and Ode to the Red Cliff (1800), a pair of hanging scrolls by Tani Bunchō, based on a pair of poems by Chinese scholar-poet Su Shi.
Spotlight Tours offer a chance to explore the collections of the Harvard Art Museums through the eyes of a Harvard student. Free and open to the public, these tours start outside the museum shop on Saturdays and Sundays at 11am and 2pm. Drop in and join the conversation! And find out what the Student Guides are up to anytime on Instagram @harvardarthappens.
Please check in with museum staff at the Admissions desk in the Calderwood Courtyard to request to join the tour. Tours are limited to 18 people and are available on a first-come, first-served basis; no registration is required.
