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

    • If you type in the amount of time you intend to stay on the app, it will charge you for that time 
    • Or return it to a restaurant pub or even better would be a Superb site and Location for our very own, yes, you guessed it, smack in between Forest Hill and East Dulwich and North Dulwich and West Dulwich and Herne Hill and Tulse Hill, yes our very , very own, no not a diy store but you guessed it, I'm sure you all want a brand spanking shinny new Lidl. I know the idea may upset a minority but the just consider all the benefits it will bring and the majority would be ecstatic to have a low budget supermarket in our locality. 
    • Just been for the first time and definitely recommend.  Great value, lovely atmosphere & far preferred their pizzas to some others on the lane.  Give it a go!
