On the occasion of the special exhibition Picasso: The Artist and His Models, join Dr. Katie Hanson, Assistant Curator of Paintings at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, as she discusses the MFA Boston’s Rape of the Sabine Women and the Fondation Beyeler’s The Rape of the Sabines. Dr. Hanson will highlight the thematic and temporal similarities between these two works and their place in Picasso’s oeuvre.
