SUMMARY:Talk: Flaxman as Sculptor and Illustrator
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Sir Nicholas Penny FBA\, FSA\, Director of the National Gallery 2008-2015. \nFlaxman as Sculptor and Illustrator. \nThis lecture by Sir Nicholas\, together with one by Sir Tristram Hunt in October\, has been organised in connection with the exhibition\, ‘Turner\, Wedgwood and Beyond: Inspired by Flaxman‘\, held to mark the bicentenary of Flaxman’s death. The exhibition opens at York Art Gallery on 18 September. Flaxman\, (1755-1826)\, sculptor and designer\, was one of the most celebrated artists of day and remained the best-known British sculptor in Europe until Henry Moore. He influenced major European artists including Ingres and Goya and was a key figure in the pan-European artistic movement of the day\, Neoclassicism\, in particular through the influence of his illustrations to the poetry of Homer\, Dante and Aeschylus. In 1810 he was appointed Professor of Sculpture at the Royal Academy\, a post specially created for him. \nCost £22 50: to include tea/coffee and cake after the talk. \n			\n				Click here to book

SUMMARY:Artwork of the Month Aug 2026
DESCRIPTION:The next Artwork of the Month talk will be held on Wednesday 12 August at 11.30 am in the Madsen Gallery. Jane Eddleston’s talk will be about Rebecca Salter\, current President of the Royal Academy and the first woman to be elected to that role. Salter is a British printmaker\, who trained in the traditional methods of woodblock printmaking under a Japanese master in Kyoto\, and who still collaborates with a workshop there today. In particular\, the talk will be focussed on the works Celest 1 and Celest 2\, which are included in the exhibition ‘Making Waves’\, which closes on 30 August. \nJane will discuss the collaborative nature of printmaking\, the differences between woodblock and woodcut prints\, and ‘original’ printmaking as an art-form as opposed to mass-produced reproductive prints. \nOur Artwork of the Month talks are free and booking is not required\, but do remember to bring your membership card for free admittance to the Gallery.
