September’s ‘pay-what-you-can’ online talk…

In this ‘pay-what-you-can’ online talk, art historian Morgan Haigh will guide you through all 70-meters of the embroidered marvel with up close details moving frame by frame through the story. From Earl Harold’s adventures in Normandy, to his betrayal of his oath to Duke William, and the subsequent invasion and battle near Hastings, this talk will explore the story and its context, looking at who the main characters are, how they are depicted, and who caused this extraordinary artwork to be created in the first place.

Step into the visual world of Norman England, and discover the origin story of modern Britain told through the early-medieval eyes which witnessed it!

From the mysterious cultures of Celts and Saxons, through the grandeur of the gothic cathedrals and the splendour of the Tudor court, to the political and industrial revolutions of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries. Finishing in the modern world, as we chart how British identity was made and remade by our artists and writers.

Hear the stories of great names like Turner, Constable, and Gainsborough, foreign artists who made Britain their home like van Dyck, Artemisia, and Holbein, as well as lesser known figures who changed the way we see our own islands such as Wilson, Hollar, and Palmer.

This course is suitable for all; those who know a lot, a little, or are simply those keen to expand their understanding of our island's history and its rich cultural heritage.

7pm-9pm Wednesday Evenings - 30th Sept - 28th Oct at The Turner House Gallery, Penarth.
