Lecture and Reception for In Vino Veritas (In Wine, Truth)

Toast curator Emily Peters as she introduces her new exhibition, In Vino Veritas (In Wine, Truth), which celebrates the presence and meaning of wine in prints, drawings, textiles, and objects made in Europe between 1450 and 1800. Drawn from the CMA’s collection, more than 70 works by artists from throughout Europe explore wine’s myths, symbols, and stories, revealing how diverse cultures and religions ascribed meaning and transformational properties to the so-called nectar of the gods.
