SUMMARY:The Art of Pieter Bruegel The Elder
DESCRIPTION:Pieter Bruegel the Elder (d. 1569) is probably best known for his colourful depictions of peasants making merry or toiling in the fields. He also painted religious scenes in the Netherlandish countryside. Although these works lent him the epithet\, ‘Peasant Brueghel’\, his work was more than just charmingly naïve. He was very much a townsman with a good eye for landscape\, who painted for discerning collectors. He also lived in a time of religious and political turmoil that is evident in some of his ‘darker’ works. This lecture will show that there is more to Bruegel than peasant paintings. \nDates and Locations \nMonday 21 July 2025 Murray River (NSW/ VIC) \nThursday\, 24 July 2025 Molonglo Plains (NSW / ACT) \nWednesday 20 August & Thursday 21st August Brisbane (QLD) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Frans Hals: A Dutch Painter with Flemish Roots
DESCRIPTION:Frans Hals is one of the best-loved painters of the Dutch Golden Age\, with his Laughing Cavalier one of the highlights of the Wallace Collection. The Frans Hals Museum is in Haarlem\, but the artist was born in Antwerp from which his family fled north to escape war and persecution.\nWe know little about Hals’s life: he married twice and had a large family. He was popular yet constantly experienced financial difficulties. Hals specialised in people: portraits of wealthy burghers\, but also merry drinkers and naughty children. His virtuoso brushwork and joie de vivre make his sitters still seem alive centuries later. \nDates and Locations \nTuesday 22 July 2025 Canberra (ACT) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:How To Get Down From a Yak: Adventures in Central Asian Nomadic Textiles
DESCRIPTION:Houses made from wool that warm in the depths of winter\, carpets that tell stories\, woven bands that appease ancestors\, embroideries that ward off evil\, and kilims that store kitchenware\, with everything ready to be packed and carried on a yak or camel at a moment’s notice.
