    Compton Verney

    Another "tour" you might like to take is round the various exhibitions at Compton Verney. And when we are released then this really is a lovely place to visit - as I am sure many of you know!

    There would have been a very interesting exhibition on Cranach but you can "walk" round the exhibits at home, besides taking a look at the other permanent exhibitions.

    I so enjoyed this brief, but highly informative, virtual tour of the current Cranach exhibition at Compton Verney. I knew very little about this painter, apart from his best known and iconic images, so not only was I treated to those but given all the fascinating context of his paintings and a view of how his influence is felt in art even up to the present day. Thank you to the Arts Society Cheltenham for opening my eyes to these virtual exhibitions - I'm off to find another now! While nothing can replace a visit in person to a favourite exhibition or gallery, this virtual tour is like a personal guided tour and mini lecture all in one, and in this time of lockdown is the next best thing to being there.

    Glad you enjoyed this one Katherine. And if you find others do, please, post them on here as the more our members have to look at the better!

    Yes - of course I will do that. It's amazing how much there is to 'visit' online!
