Giorgione or Titian? The identity of the artist who painted one of the world’s most famous paintings, Le Concert champêtre, remains uncertain to this day. What does this pastoral scene represent? Why do two nude women appear next to two clothed men? What music are they playing? This program attempts to answer these and other questions by delving into 16th-century Venetian culture, and by examining its more recent counterparts, such as Manet’s Partie de campagne.
