Cabbages, Carrots and Lamb- Spanish Still Life from 1600-1812.\

Cost: $25 for visitors, $70 for half-year membership (4 lectures) Pay at the Door on the day.

Still Life painting is incredible, and many of its origins are in Spain. The symbolism and meaning are rich and whilst easy to comprehend, sometimes it is a little bit over the top. The lecture includes the depiction of a cabbage that has been painted with such astonishing accuracy that the painted version is more alluring than the vegetable itself and lamb that waits comfortably for its destiny on a spit above a fire pit. Featuring paintings by Velazquez, Zurbaran, Meléndez & Goya, we shall explore several stunning key themes we shall explore several stunning key themes that can all be discerned from arrangements of simple food stuffs; religious fervor and symbolism, the absence of presence and that importance generates waste.
