Today’s post comes from Sergio Lozano, class of 2021 and Art Center Student Docent
One of our most recent acquisitions at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center is an eighteenth-century painting by French artist Jean-François de Troy (1679-1752) titled Allegory of Sculpture. De Troy was the son of portraitist François de Troy, whose connections allowed his son to obtain a post at the French Academy of Rome and later return to the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in France
