Mad on Colour – The Impressionists in Venice
Lecture by Jacqueline Cockburn
Tuesday 18th March 8pm
From Édouard Manet to James McNeill Whistler, from John Singer Sargent to Paul Signac, artists flocked to Venice as Turner and others had done before. Seeking that incredible quality of light, those dramatic crumbling palaces and the shimmering waters, they depicted the backstreets, the costumes, the canals and the piazzas. This lecture will capture those sublime scenes and consider how writers such as John Ruskin and Thomas Mann evoked the city as narrative and architectural wonder.
Jacqueline is an art historian, linguist and freelance lecturer. She is course director and lecturer at the V&A and lectures at The Royal Academy and The Arts Society. She is MD of Art and Culture Travel, running
courses in Spain, Venice and Paris.
