Event Information

Copies, Curtains & Ways Of Looking: Experiencing Paintings In The Past
Chantal Brotherton-Ratcliffe

How does our experience of living with and looking at artwork today compare to earlier centuries? This lecture considers the very different conditions in which paintings were displayed and enjoyed in the past, as well as the different responses they evoked. It draws on the evidence within paintings for the many surprising ways in which people handled, hung, used and responded to the art that they owned.

Chantal has an MA in History of Art from Edinburgh and a PhD from the Warburg Institute, London University. She has taught at Sotheby’s Institute of Art, and as a freelance lecturer. Having also trained as a paintings conservator, she brings a deeper understanding to her lectures.
