A new National Gallery course is starting this week, on Friday 7th February at 10.30am and continuing on one Friday morning per month.
This series of Gallery Talks is designed to give an introduction to the History of Western Art through the centuries and aims to be both informative and informal. Works of art are brought to life by placing them in their historical and social context, describing the artistic techniques employed and discussing the lives of the artists and their patrons.
The course of talks begins with the earliest paintings in the National Gallery’s collection and then continues chronologically, studying approximately ten paintings during each session. Each Gallery Talk is coherent in itself, no previous knowledge is required and questions are welcomed.
Details of the series can be found on the Talks page and dates are listed on the Calendar, under ‘Group 6’ with Renoir’s Umbrella as the icon.
Please send me a message if you are interested in joining this Gallery Talks group at the National Gallery, via the contact form on this website.
