This event accompanies the exhibition “A World within Reach: Greek and Roman Art from the Loeb Collection.” Florian Knauss, director of the State Collections of Antiquities in Munich and lecturer at the University of Augsburg and lecturer at the University of Augsburg, will discuss Loeb as a collector and philanthropist. He will highlight objects from the collection, give an overview of Loeb's collecting activities and the legacy of his charitable achievements. Mirte Liebregts, doctoral candidate at the Radboud Institute for Culture and History in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, has delved deeply into the establishment of the Loeb Classical Library, the bilingual publication series founded by James Loeb. She will examine Loeb’s motivations for creating the series and their relationship to his collecting. Richard Thomas, George Martin Lane Professor of Classics, Harvard University and Trustee of the Loeb Classical Library Foundation will moderate a conversation after the two presentations. The galleries will be open until 5:00. You are encouraged to view the exhibition either before or after the event. This program is sponsored by the Loeb Classical Library Foundation, Harvard University and organized in conjunction with the special exhibition “A World within Reach: Greek and Roman Art from the Loeb Collection.” Support for the exhibition, on view at the Harvard Art Museums, from January 28 – May 7, 2023, is provided by the Kelekian Fund.
