Art Group Lecture – Tuesday 20th September, 8pm

The Art of Seduction by Lynne Gibson

Free to Art Group members, no need to book

Seduction has been one of the enduring themes of art since Eve offered Adam an apple. The Italian Renaissance offered painters an Olympian cast of amorous gods and goddesses. Puritanical Dutch and prudish Victorians tutted over the loose morals of fallen women, Rococo artists revelled in the flirtatious fun of Fetes Galantes and Belle Epoque.

Has the ‘Battle of the Sexes’ killed the spirit of romance?

Join us to celebrate the theme of love and courtship from the Age of Chivalry to the Modern Age.

To be held in the Club only
