A new Gallery Talks course starts this Friday 18th January, at the Wallace Collection and will continue on one Friday morning per month. A small Gallery Talks group will be guided by me through the remarkable treasures of art in the Wallace Collection. The first three dates for this series of talks are Fridays 18th January, 15th February and 29th March 2019.
This sumptuously decorated yet intimate national museum is a haven in central London and a visit feels like taking a step back in time to an elegant and leisured era when time passed at a gentle pace and exquisite objects were enjoyed and admired purely for their beauty. The Wallace Collection includes significant works of art by artists such as Titian, Rubens, Van Dyck, Rembrandt, Velàzquez, Canaletto, Fragonard, Gainsborough, Reynolds and Landseer. All the art, sculpture, furniture, porcelain and armour in the Wallace Collection was collected by five generations of one family, the first four marquesses of Hertford and Sir Richard Wallace, the illegitimate son of the 4th Marquess, and is displayed in their former home at Hertford House in Manchester Square.
Please message me if you would like to join this group at the Wallace Collection.
