Drawing from Antiquity: Horses in Ancient Art

GETTY VILLA

The Getty Villa


This is a past event


This event has been canceled as part of Getty’s response to the coronavirus (COVID-19).

Because horses were expensive to own, they often signaled elite status in the ancient world. Explore artworks that depict horses in war and peace and learn how to draw these magnificent ancient power symbols. Sign-up begins 15 minutes before the start of the program at the Tour Meeting Place. This is a free program.
