I’ve always been encouraged to never stop learning, so I make sure to take part in whatever lectures, seminars and courses take my fancy.
Come join me on my learning journey! Here are some of the live sessions I’ll be taking part in these coming months.

Lectures and Seminars
Art historian Elizabeth Lev looks at Michelangelo’s life and work to reveal how the Florentine Master turned the tables on old tropes and stereotypes in his portrayals of women in daring, innovative, and empowering imagery.
Rocky Ruggiero, an architectural historian and specialist in the Italian Renaissance, explores the dramatic construction history of this great church and the breathtaking artwork by artists such as Michelangelo and Bernini that adorns it.
Art historian Elaine Ruffolo highlights the life and work of this artist who embodied the ideas of the Renaissance in sculpture. Donatello may have been born over 600 years ago, but his powerful sculpture still speaks directly to us today.
Join Renaissance art historian Elaine Ruffolo and explore how painters learned their craft, the organization of their workshops and the guilds they belonged to, how their customers or patrons treated them, and where and how their work was displayed.
Joseph Luzzi, a professor of comparative literature at Bard College, shares how the 19th-century rediscovery of Botticelli’s Dante drawings brought many to the belief that Botticelli’s work embodied everything the Renaissance had come to mean.
Join the National Gallery for an in-depth exploration of the life and work of Giotto di Bondone, often described as the father of Italian Renaissance painting.
In this talk, the National Gallery follows Piero through Italy, studying how he was influenced by earlier painters, and how his remarkable skills in mathematics and geometry underpinned his painting, helping him create profoundly satisfying and timeless works of art.
Leading experts on Alexander and his myths, Lindsay Allen and Richard Stoneman explore the origins and development of the stories about Alexander the Great. Hosted by author and historian Tom Holland.
