What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We will be meeting outside of the Getty's entrance to the National Gallery, which is located on the right handsome of the building if you are facing it, with the Nelson's column at your back. I will be holding a rose flower so you can easily recognise me, alternatively, do give me a call or text me.
What to expect
But of course they didn’t just invent new methods of depicting light, form and subject matter without looking anew at the art of the past. We will talk about how the work by J.M.W. Turner, Rembrandt, Caravaggio and other Old Masters influenced the artists of the future, the importance of the 17th-century Dutch art. We will stop to admire some jewels of the gallery’s collection: Holbein, Michelangelo, Canaletto and Moroni.
And what about women artists, you might ask? There are only 4 pieces currently on display and we will dive into the history of female painters. All ages are welcome, no previous knowledge of art history is required. Ask questions and get excited, this will be an art ride like no other.
