A fully illustrated talk about the mysteries held within some of the world’s most famous paintings. The art world is full of enigmas, many pictures hold a secret and many artists are not what they seem. In this talk I look at mysteries held beneath the surface of the paintings, from the Mona Lisa smile, through the identity of the Girl with the Pearl Earring to the true identity of Banksy. I also unravel some of the signs and symbols in paintings.
Views: 791 | Enquiries: 2I was a primary teacher and headteacher all my working life and have given many talks and presentations to adults, but now I can indulge my passions! When I retired I discovered that I am a pastelist (I’d never touched pastels before!) and I use that skill to raise money for an animal rescue centre in North Macedonia, run entirely by two dedicated young women. I have currently three art talks, all well illustrated with slides, both entertaining and enlightening.
