Wednesday 9th September at 2pm
Looking at art is a wonderful way in which to focus the mind and lift the spirits, so would you like to spend a little time with me each week considering works of art? If so, please join me on Zoom every Wednesday at 2pm, when I am giving a series of Gallery Talks called ‘My Favourite Paintings' to concentrate your thoughts on Art History for half an hour.
Each talk is on one painting and I'll share insights, discussing aspects such as the subject matter, historical and social context of the painting, the life of the artist and the techniques and materials they empIoyed. I welcome questions in the chat box and attempt to answer as many as possible.
The next work of art that I'll be discussing is a pair of paintings, 'Venice: the Bacino di San Marco from San Giorgio Maggiore' and 'Venice: the Bacino di San Marco from the Canale della Guidecca' (1735-44) by Canaletto, in the Wallace Collection, London.
If you would like to join the next talk of the 'My Favourite Paintings' series, on Wednesday 9th September at 2pm, please message me via the Contact form, and I'll send you the payment details and, on receipt of payment, the Zoom meeting link. The fee for each talk is £10 or £40 for the month of September.
I very much look forward to talking to you about Canaletto's 'Venice: the Bacino di San Marco' paintings on Wednesday afternoon.
