Stories of Art: Art from 1600-1700

A modular introduction to art history using the Gallery’s collection to explore key themes and stories in art. This course is ideal for people with some existing knowledge of art history. Gallery experts including curators, conservators, educators, archivists and scientists will share their knowledge with you. Sessions are structured around key themes – such as faith, artists’ materials and society – and stories. There are many different ways of talking about the art of the past – we can talk about the lives of artists or how they influence each other – but this is only part of the stories we can tell. Explore different ideas in this six-week course, each one representing an alternative approach to art from 1600-1700. Each session will be introduced by course leader Vivienne Loren in an hour-long talk, followed by a short break. Wednesdays 15, 22, 29 April and 6, 13, 20 May 2015, 2-4pm.
