The Medford Public Library begins an eight-part Zoom series on art appreciation with Jane Oneail, the founder of Culturally Curious, an arts education consulting firm specializing in art appreciation programs. Sessions will take place once a month on Sundays at 3 p.m., starting today with “Botticelli: Beauty, Virtue, and the Bonfire of the Vanities.” Sandro Botticelli was a leading artist of the early Italian Renaissance with a distinctive linear style. This program will focus on how his explorations of beauty and myth dramatically shift after the rise of the religious leader Savonarola and his Bonfire of the Vanities.

Jane Oneail  holds a master’s in art history from Boston University and a master’s in education from the Harvard University Graduate School of Education.
