Thomas Patch: Artist and Entrepreneur in Eighteenth-Century Florence

Curated by Hugh Belsey, Independent Scholar

Known primarily as a caricature artist, Thomas Patch (1725-1782) in fact engaged in a much wider array of activities. He was a landscape painter, experimental printmaker, and a dealer of antiquities and old master paintings. He was also among the first scholars of early Renaissance art. This exhibition will explore the many aspects of Patch’s art, life, and associations with the British community of diplomats, tourists, artists, and collectors in Italy. 

On this special tour, visitors are offered the opportunity to take their time with Hill-Stead’s Impressionist masterpieces—including works by Monet, Degas, Manet, Cassatt, and Whistler—and to think deeply about how these canvases relate to the Pope family’s larger collection and to famous narratives from the history of art. The biographies of the artworks that are so central to Hill-Stead’s story, rather than the biographies of the people who established the museum, become the focus. This allows the tour to attend more closely to the art that makes Hill-Stead a celebrated destination and for visitors to engage with the collection in a way that complements the museum’s other tour offerings. Note: This tour is limited to the first floor of the historic house.

Step into a sacred space where your intuition is honored, your gifts are welcomed, and your voice is heard. Spirit Within is a weekly women’s circle devoted to the development of psychic and mediumship abilities in a nurturing, heart-centered environment.

-Strengthening the clairs (clairvoyance, clairaudience, etc.)

-Grounding, protection, and energetic hygiene

-Rituals for deepening your connection to the unseen

Whether you're just beginning to awaken your intuitive senses or seeking to expand your existing connection with Spirit, this circle offers guidance, sisterhood, and sacred space to grow. Together, we listen, receive, practice, and rise. Open to women and non-binary folks who enjoy women-centered spaces.

Event Fee: Donation-based (suggested $15-$25 per circle)

Thomas Patch: Artist and Entrepreneur in Eighteenth-Century Florence

Curated by Hugh Belsey, Independent Scholar

Known primarily as a caricature artist, Thomas Patch (1725-1782) in fact engaged in a much wider array of activities. He was a landscape painter, experimental printmaker, and a dealer of antiquities and old master paintings. He was also among the first scholars of early Renaissance art. This exhibition will explore the many aspects of Patch’s art, life, and associations with the British community of diplomats, tourists, artists, and collectors in Italy. 

Special Tour: Hill-Stead’s Keepsakes & Curiosities. Natural artifacts, souvenirs from faraway lands, and personal mementoes abound at Hill-­Stead. These intriguing, and sometimes weird, tiny treasures illuminate a different collecting mentality than the world-renown artworks in the museum. In this tour visitors will get an opportunity to leisurely and closely view objects that are rarely shown. Objects will rotate so that each tour is unique. Note: To take this tour, visitors need to be comfortable with stairs.
