This event will be held online on Zoom
Booking is essential
With An Van Camp, Curator of Northern European Art
Our current exhibition, Bruegel to Rubens: Great Flemish Drawings, celebrates the intricate and precise drawing skills of Flemish artists and how drawings were used in the artist’s studio and beyond in the 16th and 17th centuries.
In this online talk An Van Camp will explore with you the exquisite details of these works which range from quick sketches to sensitive drawings from life and nature, as well as intricate cabinet miniatures.
An will delve deeper into the artists' materials and techniques, as well as the stories they wanted to tell and the significance and place of these works in the wider context of 16th and 17th century Flemish art.
The talk will be recorded, and the recording will be distributed to ticketholders following the event.
