SPEAKER 
Dr. Keri Watson, Art History professor at the University of Central Florida, will present an engaging history of Florida’s landscape painters, including James Audubon and the Florida Highwaymen — and how St. Augustine developed a vast artist community even before Henry Flagler’s hotels opened in the city.

From Florida Humanities: The Florida landscape has provided aesthetic inspiration to artists for centuries. Titian Ramsay Peale and John James Audubon came in search of native flora and fauna, followed by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Martin Johnson Heade, George Inness, Winslow Homer, and Henry Ossawa Tanner, who were lured by its natural beauty and warm climate. This presentation offers a succinct and engaging history of Florida’s landscape painters.

In celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the Lighthouse tower, the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum presents a lecture series titled History in the Shadow of the Tower.

Funding for this program was provided through a grant from Florida Humanities with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
