Events & Programs
Two very significant, early European paintings depicting Newfoundland are coming to The Rooms in early November for an extended exhibition. These works by the Dutch artist Gerard van Edema may be the earliest European paintings of Newfoundland (if not of North America). It is thought that he may have visited the island in the late 1600s to travel and sketch along the “English Shore” between Bonavista and Trepassey.
Who was Edema? How and why did he come to Newfoundland? What do we know about these works and why they were created?
Rooms Curator Mireille Eagan moderates a conversation about these paintings with Heidi Sobol, Senior Conservator of Paintings at the Royal Ontario Museum, and Mark Ferguson, Collections Program Supervisor at The Rooms.
Tickets: $12 plus HST. Free for Rooms members. Get your tickets online or by calling 709-757-8090.
