What’s on: future study days

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 (often either the Conway Hall, Bloomsbury Baptist Church Hall 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.

From Renaissance to Baroque – The Rise and Struggle of Women in the World of Art

  • Thu 28 May 2020
    11am-4.15pm
  • Brockway Room, Conway Hall
  • Lecturer: Leslie Primo

This study day will aim to revive the history of just three of the many significant female artists who were commercially successful in a male-dominated world during the Renaissance and Baroque period: Sofonisba Anguissola, Lavinia Fontana, and Artemisia Gentileschi.  The lives of these artists will be explored in detail looking at their works and critical reception of the works, the society and context in which they worked and the demand for their works which drove their careers.
