ArtTalk Details
Following on from others in 'The Art of the City' series in 2021, this fascinating talk will look at the art of Amsterdam.
Both the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum contain some of the most remarkable paintings in Europe. Amsterdam offers plenty of exciting art destinations. Martin looks at the development of art in the city and some of its leading exponents from the past five hundred years. The talk is an overview of Amsterdam’s importance as a city of great artistic significance.
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 each talk.
The talk will last for 60 minutes, followed by an open Q&A session.
