ArtTalk details
Following on from Martin's talk 'The Art of New York City' earlier in the year, this fascinating talk will look in depth at one of the world's many important art destinations: Rome.
The "Eternal City" has been a destination for great art for millennia. In this overview Martin looks at art, both ancient and modern, to be enjoyed in many settings throughout the city. Martin also looks at highlights from the Villa Doria Pamphili, the Modern Art Museum, and the Vatican City Museums.
Using original photographs of many of the superb artworks taken at art galleries, museums, studios and churches, Martin will point up some of the most significant artists and characters that have shaped these places over centuries. Whilst well known art will be included, it is hoped that some of the lesser known delights will also be illuminated for you.
Where possible Martin will use the artists own perceptions and visions of these places and the locations that inspired their art. As always Martin sets the art in its historical context and links it with the events that shaped the modern world. He will also provide a list of helpful books and links to further explore on a PDF following the talk.
