DESCRIPTION

We continue our series of art history lectures about major exhibitions in London with Graham Greenfield, who started by studying Architecture before changing to Fine Art. He has worked in a variety of museums, and has lectured at Tate, Courtauld Institute of Art, the V&A, Dulwich Picture Gallery, and on almost every exhibition at the Royal Academy since 1994.



King Charles I amassed one of the most extraordinary art collections of his age, acquiring works by some of the finest artists of the past ? Titian, Mantegna, Holbein, D?rer ? and commissioning leading contemporary artists such as Van Dyck and Rubens. Yet, following the King?s execution in 1649, his collection was sold off and scattered across Europe. While many works were retrieved by Charles II, others now form the core of museums such as the Louvre and the Prado.


Charles I: King and Collector reunites the greatest masterpieces of this magnificent collection for the first time. Celebrating its breadth and grandeur, it includes over 100 works of art, ranging from classical sculptures to Baroque paintings, from exquisite miniatures to monumental tapestries. The exhibition demonstrates the radical impact they had at the time, and sheds light on how they fostered a vibrant visual culture that was hitherto unknown in England.


Tickets include a glass of wine

    • Found a black umbrella on the 63 bus at Forest Hill Road a couple of days ago in the morning. Thought about keeping it since umbrellas are one of the most common lost items on public transport and no one bothers to collect them. Try lost property Peckham bus garage if it's yours, sorry no picture. No idea if they charge a collection fee. I know the days of drivers being rewarded for claimed lost property like the old days are long gone.
    • this is jokes -  I walked through Dulwich park and there were loads of people there and actually the skate park is reasonably illuminated by the street lights.  I was stating a tiny fact about a sliver of time not making a statement on the 'youth of today'    
    • The sun set at 5.37pm yesterday and it was 7⁰ at that time, according to the Met Office. The skate park is, obviously, unlit. Kids these days can't win. They get off their arse and make use of a derelict car park, and it gets called a haven for underage drink and drugs. They use the skate park and people complain it's noisy; they don't use it because it's dark and cold and people complain about that too! If they were out there bundled up against the cold yesterday, we'd probably hear moaning about "hoodie ruffians wearing masks..."
    • Wow, is that real? Smart dress code policy? Get to 🤬
