Join biographer Dennis O’Connor for a deep dive into American artist Joseph Lindon Smith. Smith possessed a remarkable ability to accurately reproduce age-worn surfaces of ancient monuments and proved himself invaluable to the 20th-century Harvard University–Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition in Egypt.

For fifty years Lindon consistently worked in the field with the expedition to record their latest discoveries and act as an unofficial liaison between the expedition team and the Museum.

This program is scheduled to be an in-person event, however, details may be subject to change.
