Curator Christopher Riopelle introduces Edwin Austin Abbey at this Members’ early-access event.
Before ‘Edwin Austin Abbey: By the Dawn’s Early Light’ opens, join Christopher as he shares insights into this Room 1 exhibition. It will showcase Abbey’s huge study for ‘The Hours’, the celestial scene that decorates the ceiling of the Representatives Chamber, Pennsylvania State Capitol, Harrisburg.
Edwin Austin Abbey was an American artist who spent much of his career in the UK. He produced ‘The Hours’ in his Gloucestershire studio, then the largest art studio in Europe, and from there both the study and mural were shipped to the US.
Celebrate Abbey and one of his most important works as we collectively re-discover this great artist.
