Description

In this video lecture series, art historian Noah Charney delivers 12 fascinating lectures accompanied by graphics about lost art. We'll hear the stories behind the theft and/or destruction of some of the world's most famous pieces of art. From the 21st century Taliban's iconoclastic destruction of the 500-year-old Buddha statues at Bamiyan to the earthquake that felled the Colossus of Rhodes. From the theft of 13 paintings from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston to the long history of art plundered during war. Whether you are an art lover, history buff, or true crime fan, this course has something for you. This is a video lecture series facilitated by Beth Stence.
