Stories about the Trojan War have fascinated people for thousands of years and have been a frequent subject for artists. While exploring the original accounts of these epic events, we will also discover hidden layers within three artworks and unravel an intricate web of symbolism, deeper meanings, and powerful propaganda concealed within their brushstrokes. Journey beyond the surface of this ancient narrative and uncover the rich historical context in which these works were created. VMFA's Courtney Morano, Interpretation Manager and Ancient Art Educator, will lead the tour.
