From Titian to Canaletto: Venetian Art at The Wallace Collection

Wednesday 8th to Friday 10th April 11am-1pm

In this three-day course we explore the history and enduring appeal of La Serenissima or “the Most Serene” Venetian Republic through a study of paintings in the Wallace Collection, from Titian’s great mythologies and Canaletto’s vedute to portraits by Rosalba Carriera and images of the city produced by foreign visitors such as Richard Parkes Bonington. The course will be led by Wallace Collection lecturer Siân Walters.

The course comprises three livestreamed lectures which will be given at 11.00am BST (British Summer Time). Tune in from anywhere in the world to watch – you will then be sent a link to the recorded lecture which can be accessed for up to 24 hours afterwards. Each session will last approximately 2 hours with a short break and a question/answer session. Students will be provided with comprehensive hand-outs and a suggested reading list/online resources before the course begins – these will be sent by email.

Participant numbers for 3-day courses will be limited to allow for extended discussion. Those wishing to use the microphone/webcam function can appear in the lecture to ask their questions. There will also be a virtual “coffee break” where thosing wishing to use this function can chat informally and see one another.
