Famous Paintings and their Hidden Histories
Artist and art teacher Áine Andrews brings us behind the hidden histories of six more famous paintings. In each lecture, Áine will focus on a particular painting to recount its history, as well as that of the artist and their story.
The lectures can be attended as a series, but are also designed as standalone talks, which can be attended individually.
