What do Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy, Medicine, and Chemistry have in common with Art? More than you might think! From Vermeer and Rembrandt’s vivid portrayals of scientists and experiments, to the groundbreaking work of Da Vinci and Brunelleschi—who created masterpieces thanks to the mathematical invention of linear perspective and the vanishing point —science and art have always been intertwined. Even the birth of photography as an art form owes its existence to breakthroughs in Physics and Chemistry. Join me for a fascinating journey through history, exploring the extraordinary crossover between science and art—from ancient times all the way to the 20th century.

Roberta’s love for art and architecture borders on "obsession"—and she’s happily embraced it! Her special passion lies in Modernist architecture, which led her to earn a Graduate Certificate with distinction in History of Art and Architecture from Birkbeck University. That was actually her second degree—her first career is in Economics, with over 20 years of experience in the fast-paced world of financial markets. Now, she channels her energy into making art and architecture not just informative, but fun, relatable and engaging for everyone. She’s the founder of Art Tours with a Theme – ART wiT, a London-based project offering themed tours and talks that bring the city’s creativity to life. You can follow her curated art and architecture adventures on Instagram @artwit_london and Facebook @artwitlondon.
