But tragically, these masterpieces have been either buried or destroyed by Modernism, and just like Michelangelo led excavations in Rome to uncover Greco-Roman civilization, a new generation of modern-day art historians are doing just that—unearthing the buried past. Over the past five years, Mr. Sandstead has traveled extensively in France, England, Italy, Spain and America to locate, document and photograph scores of forgotten nineteenth-century masterpieces. Come to this two-hour lecture to see the nineteenth century—as it has not been seen in over 100 years.
