Have you ever wanted to understand, appreciate and enjoy art more? Would you like to find out what exactly makes Leonardo's Mona Lisa or Michelangelo's Last Judgement such great masterpieces? Would you like to explore the great questions of life through the eyes of Rembrandt and Van Gogh? Well here is your opportunity! The art consultancy Sheeran Lock is organising a fascinating programme of 80 illustrated art talks in Framlingham, Suffolk, UK called 'Discover the Great Painters: From Giotto to Picasso'. This ambitious project covers 700 years of Western art and will take over two years to complete. Each talk considers in depth the life and work of one artist. The first series of 10 talks covers The Early Renaissance and features wonderful painters such as Fra Angelico, Piero della Francesca, Botticelli and Van Eyck.
