On this tour, Sophia Pasalis ’25 will explore how interior life is portrayed in art and the fragile boundary between public and private life, work and home, and inside and outside. The stops on the tour are an ink painting from a Chinese album of rice and silk culture, traditionally attributed to Qiu Ying 仇英 (Chinese, c. 1494–52); Still Life at the Window (1950), an oil painting made in Germany, by Werner Heldt; and Alice Villette (1872), an oil painting, made in Paris, by Edgar Degas.
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.
