I run short Art History and Visual Culture Courses for adults. These range from 30 minute one-off talks in front of art works in museums in London and across the UK to weekend immersion tours of Florence (see tours page). These can be tailored to a party’s interests and timeframe. Do get in touch if you would like to book or to discuss your requirements in more detail.

Examples of topics:

• The Secret of Language of Images – a guide to symbolism in the famous works at the National Gallery.

• Italian and Northern Renaissance Art and Architecture.

• Leonardo da Vinci and the ‘Virgin of the Rocks’ at the National Gallery.

• Modernism in Europe – From Matisse to Picasso and Dali.

  The Body and Gender Politics in Art – from Titian’s Venus to Jenny Saville’s Propped, Michelangelo’s David, to Lucian Freud.

• Ethnicity and Identity – From the racialised portraits of Reynolds to Yinka Shonibare’s celebration of multiculturalism.

• Nature in Art and Architectural History – from Dürer to Ai Wei Wei
