From Raphael to Jean Michel-Basquiat – what Art can tell us about Love – Dr Nick Trend

Speaker: Dr Nick Trend

What can or can’t we learn from the way that artists over the ages have depicted their partners and lovers; how they have tried to express the frustrations, passions, disappointments and hopes aroused by the intensity of this most powerful and enigmatic of emotions. Nick examines mainly portraits but also landscapes and still lifes by artists as diverse as Raphael and Caravaggio, Rembrandt and Frida Kahlo, Peter Blake and Suzanne Valadon.
