Courtauld Expert Lecture: The Art of Storytelling in 14th...
In the 1340s, a London lawyer acquired a substantial, second-hand law book, and commissioned an ambitious programme of images to fill almost all of its 600-odd margins. Most of these marginal images have nothing whatsoever to do with the legal text: instead, they take the form of lively narratives, recounting…

Curator’s Tour and Drinks Reception: Spencer Finch
Spencer Finch is best known for ethereal light installations that visualise his experience of natural phenomena. His investigations into the nature of light, colour, memory and perception proceed in watercolours, drawings, video and photographs. Finch distills his observations of the world into glowing abstract colour but also diverts them through cultural and historical filters. Sam Chatterton-Dickson (PGDip 1990), Director of Lisson…

This focused exhibition brings together for the first time Bruegel’s only three surviving grisaille paintings: The Courtauld’s Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery, The…
