  3. Genres in art
    Course start date:  Wed 5 Mar 2025

    Location on this date:  Off Site

    Tutors:  Emma Rose Barber
    We will look at the work of the 18th century artists in the National Gallery who epitomize the genres of art, the period when these categories were established. But we will also consider all the genres for the 16th, 17th and 19th centuries with the art on display in the gallery. And we might even wonder where religious subjects fit into this categorization, if at all!
