On this tour, Ivan Garcia Zapata ’25 will explore the imagined and real interactions between artists and their work through a focus on three paintings about painting: Nicolas Régnier’s Self-Portrait with an Easel (c. 1620–c. 1625); Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres’s Raphael and the Fornarina (1814); and Kerry James Marshall’s Untitled (2008).
