Hi Cheryl,
like you I heard mentioned on the ‘Today ’ Programme last week that The Arts Society were providing a series of short lectures on various paintings. It prompted me to go online and listen to the ten minute lecture on the painting ’Las Medinas’ by Velasquez. It was very informative and broke the scene down into the participants, and gave their historical backgrounds. I look forward to their next offering.
Thank-you, I also watched the lecture and thought it was an excellent idea of The Arts Society to produce these taster sessions, showing the many interesting topics their lecturers cover.
