Study days are designed to explore specific subjects in depth, under the leadership of one or more expert lecturers. The topics range widely but we try to include subjects relating to forthcoming major exhibitions in London where possible, and recent study days have included Anglo-Saxon Treasures, the Arts and Craft Movement, Cubism and Caravaggio.
Study days are held at various central London locations (for example Conway Hall, Lettsom House or the Keynes Library at Birkbeck) and typically last for five or six hours, including breaks for refreshments (tea and coffee provided) and lunch (not included).
Current fees for study days are £38, unless indicated otherwise on the booking page, and are for members only.
PLEASE NOTE THAT BOOKING CLOSES 48 HOURS BEFORE THE START OF THE EVENT.

The day will explore the work and careers of Watteau and Chardin and examine their influence upon future developments in later eighteenth-century painting in the work of French male and female painters from Lancret to Anne Vallayer-Coster.
Places available
The study day will consider the fascination of the artist’s work via a variety of timeframes through which to think about his work: through his interest in certain painters of the past; his relationship with his contemporaries; and his projection into art practices of the future.

Within less than fifty years, between 1305 and c. 1340, Avignon developed from a prosperous medium-size merchant town into the residence of the pope. Over the following decades, the papal court attracted vast contingents of people, including cardinals, servants, bankers and all kinds of artists and craftsmen. We will trace this development chronologically, beginning with the twelfth century, before the popes’ arrival when the city built its famous bridge.
