Now you see it: composition and visual strategy in Paolo Veronese
-
Wednesday 10 January 2018
(6pm) - The Art Workers’ Guild, 6 Queen Square, Bloomsbury, London WC1N 3AT
- Lecturer: Carlo Corsato
Through the analysis of Veronese’s Crucifixion in the Louvre and a few of his other masterpieces, the lecture investigates the painter’s ability to arrange the composition according to a specific viewing angle and, so to speak, to hide meaningful details in plain sight. We will make a real journey of discovery which, as Marcel Proust once said, ‘consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes’.
