On this tour, Jade Xiao ’27 will explore how art exists both within reality and makes its own realities. The works on the tour will be French artist Nicolas Régnier’s Self-Portrait with an Easel (c. 1620–c. 1625), Standing Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara (Guanyin Pusa) (Chinese, Sui dynasty, 581–618), and Composite Portrait of a Man (Roman Egypt, early 2nd century CE).
