Conversation Pieces
£35.00
From astonishment to anger and rage to ridicule, the artists and paintings in this tour have ignited what must have been the liveliest of discussions. What was so radical about Masaccio? Who was showing off more, Titian or his patron? Why did Turner need to complete his most famous masterpiece so quickly, and if Cezanne had tried a bit harder would his work have caused quite such a row?

A romp through the later works from the 17th to the 20th century
£35.00
Starting with the genius of Rubens, we will romp through the art of the baroque, stopping to admire perhaps the most lovely bottom in the gallery, before dissecting an early selfie and unravelling a secret code or two.

£35.00
We will revel in paintings by the great artistic masters including Velázquez, Rubens, Titian and the fabulous but perhaps less well-known Elizabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, luxuriating in delicious details and saucy scandal as we relish each carefully chosen work.

Masters of Deception – an alternative Halloween
£35.00
The exploits of the Greek gods have long provided excellent material for artists. Vengeful, passionate, greedy and occasionally wise, they were masters of deception. Forget Halloween, the gods could create the perfect disguise and there was often a lot more at stake with a trick or treat than a handful of sweeties!
This tour is a celebration of the gods of Classical Antiquity and the perfect companion to the first video in Beyond the Palette’s new series.
