SUMMARY:Art History Online - Facing the Past : The Art of Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Join MonLife Heritage Museums’ exciting new art history course. From van Eyck to van Dyck\, Raphael to Reynolds and Pissarro to Picasso\, explore how artists’ portrayal of their sitters reflected the art\, politics and religion of their era. \nCourse Length – 10 weeks of two hour morning lectures (one week off for half term)\nCourse Dates – Wednesday 2nd October – Wednesday 11th December (no class Wednesday 13th November)\nTime – 10:30am – 12:30pm\nMedium – Online via Zoom (with recordings available afterwards) Click here to book the in-person version of this course.\nCourse fee – £110 \n(Recordings available to members of this course\, so that any lectures missed can be caught within 4 weeks\, on Zoom) \nThis series of ten lectures takes us through the history of portraiture. From the time when it became popular in the 15th century\, portraiture began to emerge from providing a mere adjunct to religious paintings to become a means to demonstrate power and status. The desire to show individual character and bring sitters to life developed alongside the portrayal of a simple likeness\, until we reach the 19th century when style and exploration of new ways of painting meant the sitter’s identity became increasingly subordinate to the process of making art\, until we arrive at the challenge of Modernism. \n‘Facing the Past’ is also a chance to look into the eyes of people from other times – were they so different from us? \n\nTerms & Conditions\n\nBooking is only available online\, via this page. The booking must be made 24 hours before the first session starts. The booking covers all ten sessions. \nIf you sign up to the online course then you agree to use Zoom for these webinar talks. You do not need to download the Zoom app\, the link sent by the lecturer will take you to the Zoom website.

SUMMARY:Art History Online - Facing the Past : The Art of Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Join MonLife Heritage Museums’ exciting new art history course. From van Eyck to van Dyck\, Raphael to Reynolds and Pissarro to Picasso\, explore how artists’ portrayal of their sitters reflected the art\, politics and religion of their era. \nCourse Length – 10 weeks of two hour morning lectures (one week off for half term)\nCourse Dates – Wednesday 2nd October – Wednesday 11th December (no class Wednesday 13th November)\nTime – 10:30am – 12:30pm\nMedium – Online via Zoom (with recordings available afterwards) Click here to book the in-person version of this course.\nCourse fee – £110 \n(Recordings available to members of this course\, so that any lectures missed can be caught within 4 weeks\, on Zoom) \nThis series of ten lectures takes us through the history of portraiture. From the time when it became popular in the 15th century\, portraiture began to emerge from providing a mere adjunct to religious paintings to become a means to demonstrate power and status. The desire to show individual character and bring sitters to life developed alongside the portrayal of a simple likeness\, until we reach the 19th century when style and exploration of new ways of painting meant the sitter’s identity became increasingly subordinate to the process of making art\, until we arrive at the challenge of Modernism. \n‘Facing the Past’ is also a chance to look into the eyes of people from other times – were they so different from us? \n\nTerms & Conditions\n\nBooking is only available online\, via this page. The booking must be made 24 hours before the first session starts. The booking covers all ten sessions. \nIf you sign up to the online course then you agree to use Zoom for these webinar talks. You do not need to download the Zoom app\, the link sent by the lecturer will take you to the Zoom website.
