Meet the Medicis, or The Art of the Deal
by Darcy Weir
At a time when the Church still considered loaning money at interest a mortal sin, the Medici family managed to create a fortune doing just that, becoming the bankers to the Pope! The story of how they negotiated their salvation by sponsoring the greatest explosion of artistic production the world has ever known is a fantastic tale that holds the key to understanding our own culture’s obsession with beauty, image, and branding. Find out how it all began with “The Art of the Deal.” Darcy Weir did her doctoral studies in classical Greek and Latin as a Jacob Javits Fellow at the University of Minnesota. She and her husband Jamie Weir divide their time between Florida, Quebec, and Paris, where they have lived for many years. Darcy has given lectures and presentations on art and art history in London, Paris, Canada, and throughout Florida.

The Immortal Fountain:
The Fountain of Youth in Florida’s History,
Mythology and Art
by Dr. Mallory O’Connor
The story of the Fountain of Youth has proved to be amazingly long-lived and multi-cultural, beginning with the accounts of Herodotus who described a fountain located in Ethiopia that was reputed to give exceptional longevity to those who bathed in its waters. O’Connor explores the connection between the fabled Fountain of Youth and the development of Florida as a land where dreams come true and people can reinvent themselves. Works of art—both traditional and popular—provide the framework for an intriguing look into the heart of Florida’s self-image.
Mallory O’Connor is a Professor Emerita of Art History at Santa Fe College. She has been involved in numerous exhibits on Florida. Currently, she is working on a book and an art exhibition focusing on the Fountain of Youth in Florida history, mythology and art.
Thursday, April 25, 7:00p.m., Cost: $12 (museum admission), Members Free. This lecture is made possible by a grant from the Florida Humanities Council and Wilmington Trust.
