On this tour, Diana Ochoa-Chavez ’26 will examine the topic of injury and repair as it relates to the physical life of art objects as well as the interpersonal relationships they depict. The stops on the tour are a Neo-Assyrian wall relief fragment that portrays a head of a winged protective spirit (883–859 BCE), Italian sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s terracotta Kneeling Angel (1672), and the painting Poèmes Barbares (1896) by Paul Gauguin.
