With Juliet Heslewood, art historian
Ponds are an attractive feature in nature and have been appreciated by artists for centuries.
They flourish with fish or fowl and grow beautiful lilies. They serve as the setting for mythic tales or lovers’ meetings, even if artificially created.
In this talk, Juliet Heslewood discusses the many ponds in art, from Dürer’s early landscape view to Monet’s great achievement at his home in Giverny.
