SUMMARY:Raphael : Draftsman\, Painter\, Architect and Designer
DESCRIPTION:The painter Raphael was so famous and admired in his lifetime that when he died in 1520 at the age of only 37 it was remarked in Rome that his death had caused sufficient grief in heaven for the walls of the Vatican to tremble and crack. This talk looks at the career the extraordinary fame of Raffaello Sanzio: from his upbringing in Urbino\, his earliest works in Umbria\, to the height of his fame\, working for the great and the good in sixteenth century Rome. \nStreamed live to Zoom for members who prefer to watch at home or work.

SUMMARY:A Re‑Imagined Renaissance: The Villas and Collections of the Anglo‑American Community in Florence in the Late 19th Century
DESCRIPTION:English and Americans flocked to Florence at the close of the nineteenth century and many stayed and bought properties. \nThey shared a passionate interest in Italy\, an interest perfectly parodied in E M Forster’s social comedy A Room with a View\, written in 1908\, a social comedy in which this ex-pat community is minutely examined. The fascination of this community with the Italian Renaissance was expressed through the extensive collections of Renaissance objects with which they decorated their Italian homes. \nThe lecture we will look inside some of their villas and gardens in Florence and the surrounding countryside to see how these Italophiles reimagined the Renaissance for a new age.

SUMMARY:Wrotham Pottery
DESCRIPTION:Wrotham pottery was made between 1612 and 1739 in a small area of Kent close to the village of Wrotham. This distinctive brown slipware\, on which the names of the potters are frequently prominently displayed\, has been popular with collectors since the end of the 19th century\, and a large collection survives in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. This talk explores what we know of the Wrotham potters themselves and looks at the many designs created in these local potteries before competition from large scale production in Staffordshire closed them forever.

SUMMARY:The Beastly Renaissance: Animals in Italian Renaissance Art
DESCRIPTION:Beasts are everywhere in the art of the Renaissance. Lambs\, elephants\, dogs\, camels\, cats\, weasels\, and monkeys\, not to mention unicorns\, dragons and angels. Real and imaginary creatures populate nativity scenes\, accompany saints\, sit on the laps of noblewomen\, decorate furniture\, and sculpture and hide on stairways.  Why are they there? What do they mean? And how did artists visualise animals they might never have seen\, such as elephants\, or imaginary creatures like dragons? This talk offers a fresh perspective on the art of Renaissance Italy through a focus on depictions of creatures of all kinds and their meanings.

SUMMARY:Making the Renaissance at the V&A: fabrics and fabrications
DESCRIPTION:The Italian Renaissance saw an explosion of artistic creativity based on new ways of using traditional materials. This course will take a different material theme for each of three classes which will all be taught in the Renaissance Galleries of the V &A. Using this unrivalled collection of Italian Renaissance objects\, we will look closely at the use of three key materials in this period\, clay\, wood and silk\, in the making of novel art and decorative objects. We will explore how consumer demand for new types of objects sparked this innovation in creative techniques\, how craftsmen responded and how manufacturing developed to fulfil the aspiration for new ways of living. \nA meeting point for the session will be emailed to you at least one week before the session.

SUMMARY:The Art of Marriage in Renaissance Italy for The Arts Society\, Cheltenham
DESCRIPTION:“1500 eggs\, 2496 chickens and small birds\, 700 ducks and 120 barrels of wine”……. The shopping list for a wedding feast in Florence in 1466 tells us that marriage was a serious business for wealthy families in the Italian Renaissance. An advantageous marriage was vital to secure status and the importance of such marriages was reflected in festivities on a scale that would rival today’s celebrity weddings. The occasion was marked by the giving of extravagant gifts and bedrooms for the newly married couple were decorated with luxury goods and paintings. This talk looks at weddings and at the lavish array of objects and paintings made to celebrate marriage in Renaissance Italy. \nFree for members\, £8 for guests.
