A Sion College Zoom Seminar with Marc Woodhead

Vincent van Gogh - Faith, Love and Poetry

Thursday 10th October 2024: 7:15 for 7:30pm - ZOOM

This talk will offer an introduction to the blockbuster National Gallery exhibition Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers (14th Sept 2024 -19th Jan 2025), the flagship autumn event to celebrate the National Gallery’s 200th birthday. This ambitious show will include 50 paintings and drawings from the artist’s extraordinary period in Arles (Feb 1888-May 1889) and at the asylum just outside Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (May 1889-May 1890).

Marc Woodhead studied Fine Art Painting at Carlisle College of Art and Design, and Cheltenham College of Art and Design, and lectures at the National Portrait Gallery, National Gallery and Wallace Collection in London, and has also established his own company, Art History for Independent Travelers, leading tours of Italy, Spain, Holland and Germany for groups from the UK. Marc has a special interest in light, colour and line in Early Renaissance and Early Modernist painting.
