Want to know what inspired some of the most famous paintings ever made? Join exhibiting artist Paola Bernardelli for an insightful masterclass!
Paola Bernardelli is one of the artists featured in the exhibition I See His Blood Upon The Rose. Her practice draws from the Italian and Dutch renaissance and, specifically, her video Everything is fragile, shown in the Sunken Gallery, is influenced by Dutch women painters and the work methodologies of female artists in the 17th century society.
This two-hours masterclass will unfold with a brief introduction to Renaissance Art and its context, drawing comparisons between the Italian and the Dutch currents. It will then focus on female still-life and portrait painters in the Netherlands and their living and working conditions, as well as discussing their works and how they inform her own current practice.
The masterclass will conclude with a guided tour of the exhibition I See His Blood Upon The Rose, focusing on works from the Renaissance and their influence on the contemporary artists featured in the exhibition.
Programmed as part of I See His Blood Upon The Rose exhibition - you can also book exhibition tickets here.
