ADFAS Coffs - Artists that Changed the Course of British Art
About
Foreigners in London 1520 – 1677The Artists that Changed the Course of British Art
Lecturer: Leslie Primo (The Arts Society UK)
Why were foreigner painters preferred by the aristocracy in London to native-born English painters, why did foreigners come in the first place, what was their motivation, what was the impact of foreigners in London on English art and art practice, how were they greeted by the native born artist and what did they bring to artistic practice in London?
The lecture will look at the various formats and uses of art, tracing foreign artists from the Tudor period through to the Renaissance and Baroque, looking at their origins and how they came to work in England. It will examine the contributions of artists such as Holbein, van Dyck, Peter Lely, Rubens and others. This lecture will look at how these artists influenced the British School of painting and assess their legacy.
Following the talk, please join us for light refreshments.
