A (virtual) art visit to Florence and Rome

As we find ourselves again in Orange Phase, we hope these new art history videos are a small bright spot! Jones Gallery curator and art historian Sarah Jones shares some of her favourite works from the Uffizi collection in Florence, and then takes us to Rome to visit a hidden gem – Caravaggio’s Madonna di Loreto in Sant’Agostino church. Sarah Jones (BA, MA Art History, Queen’s University) is a visual artist, art historian and curator. She has participated in solo and group exhibitions across Canada and abroad, and her work is held in the public collections of the University of New Brunswick and the New Brunswick Art Bank. Sarah is a recipient of numerous grants and awards, including funding from ArtsNB and Canada Council for the Arts. Sarah and her brother, Caleb Jones, are co-owners of Jones Gallery in Saint John, NB.
