Anne-Solene Bayan, assistant curator at Telfair Museums, will speak about the exhibition, Gothic Soul, which focuses on the tumultuous life and work of Charles Meryon (1821-1868), a French artist who devoted himself to etching after discovering he was color blind. The illegitimate son of a dancer in the Paris Opera and an English physician, Meryon pursued a career in the French Navy, where he learned to draw.
