3 in 30 | Portraits of Three Generations of the Walpole Family Reunited at VMFA

Join Dr. Theresa A. Cunningham, Assistant Curator of European Art and the Mellon Collections, for a look at three generations of the Walpole family as seen through portraits on view in the museum’s galleries.

Dr. Cunningham will discuss the Walpole family and examine the different strategies of portraiture employed in each picture. She will also touch on how each of these works came to be part of the VMFA collection.

VMFA’s “3 in 30” programs are offered on the first Tuesday (in-person) and Thursday (virtually) of every month. Curators and educators discuss works in the permanent collection and in special exhibitions, considering different themes found across the collection, artistic movements, or a single artist’s body of work.

“3 in 30 PLUS” is an expanded version of this program where two speakers come together to present a program that is one-hour long.

“3 in 30” programs are free and open to the public.
