Fabritius’ “Goldfinch”: A Painting in Flight

Join us for an evening of art, food and drink with Emilie Gordenker, Director of the Mauritshuis, and Adam Eaker, Northern Europe Painting Assistant Curator at the Metropolitan Museum.

The American Friends of the Mauritshuis hosts a two-part lecture and discussion on The Goldfinch by Carel Fabritius, the artist often recognized as the greatest of Rembrandt’s many pupils.

The presentations will explore the context and meaning of the world-renowned painting, its creator, and its role in the Mauritshuis collection as well as the broader cultural landscape today. How did this relatively small and deceptively simple object become one of the most renowned paintings in the world?

A reception with drinks and substantial hors d’oeuvres will follow the talks. The event is ticketed at $ 50, and proceeds will benefit the American Friends of the Mauritshuis and the AFMh-Fulbright Art Conservation Scholarship Fund.
