Art Break: Rosario Street and Binondo Church by Jules Alphonse Eugène Itier

Every first and third Thursday of the month, slow down and examine a single work of art for 30 screen-free minutes guided by museum staff, community members, and visiting artists. For this Art Break, Dr. Elisa Germán, Lunder Curator of Works on Paper and Whistler Studies, will facilitate a conversation around Rosario Street and Binondo Church by Jules Alphonse Eugène Itier. The c. 1840s daguerreotype is featured in the exhibition The Sun Never Sets: Photographs and Prints of Cuba, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico from The Hispanic Society Museum and Library. Art Break programs are grounded in the practice of slow looking—an educational approach that invites you to give patient, immersive attention to a work of art to discover personal connections and meaning. Join us in the Colby College Museum of Art galleries throughout the academic year.
