Spotlight Tour: The Good Life, with Emily Feng ’25

By

Harvard Art Museums

A smiling young woman, wearing a brown long-sleeve shirt and dark pants, sits in a red armchair in a library, gesturing toward a painting that appears to float overhead. In the painting, people in Roman clothes gather in a lofty and statue-filled classical setting.

Emily Feng will explore works of art and material culture through questions about the good and moral life.
