Thursday Lunch & Lecture – Animal Passions: Animal Subjects in British Art from Marmaduke Cradock to David Shepherd
Description
We are undoubtedly a nation of animal lovers and five centuries of our art reflect a passion for animals that artists from few other countries worldwide have ever bettered.
Whether your fondness is for sporting horses, exotic beasts, domestic pets, hunting hounds, elegant equestrianism or animals in modern art, this talk will hope to show that we have loved pictures of all sorts of animals – from dodos to donkeys – in all sorts of ways for hundreds of years.
Includes lunch. Lunch is served from 1pm and lecture begins at 2pm.
