Casanova: The Seduction of Europe
This docent lecture will examine Casanova: The Seduction of Europe on exhibit at the Legion of Honor until May 28, 2018. It explores the eighteenth century across Europe through the eyes of one of its most colorful characters, Giacomo Casanova (1725–1798). Renowned in modern times for his amorous pursuits, Casanova lived not only in Italy but also in France and England, and his travels took him as far afield as the Ottoman Empire and to meet Catherine the Great in Saint Petersburg. Gathering together paintings, sculpture, works on paper, furnishings, porcelain, silver, and period costume, this exhibit brings the visual wealth of Casanova’s world to life.
