Barocci: 'The Madonna of the Cat ('La Madonna del Gatto')'
Date and time
Saturday 20 April, 10.30am–1pm
This session explores one of Barocci's paintings on display in the exhibition Barocci: Brilliance and Grace.
Please note: Although 'A Longer Look' talks usually take place in front of a painting, it will not be possible to hold this month’s talk in front of the painting due to its location in the exhibition space. Entry to the exhibition is included in the course fee and you will be able to view the painting in your own time.
A screening of Ermanno Olmi's The Legend of the Holy Drinker complements this month's course.
A Longer Look
What would we discover if we took a longer look at just one painting?
Each session in this new monthly series will focus on a single work, revealing what is often overlooked or unseen at first glance. You will explore the composition of the painting in depth and learn how it fits into its time and place.
Sessions usually feature a talk in front of the painting and discussion in the conference room. Places are limited in order to facilitate discussion and sharing ideas.
These courses also link to our new film screenings on the first Saturday of each month.
