We come to France at the dawn of the 19th century where opposing artistic movements reflect volatile sociopolitical tensions, philosophical reform and outright revolution - changing the western world in ways that we still feel today and ushering in the first age of modern painting. - 04/06/26

The 1st year students start their first portrait paintings this week so it fell to me to give a 2 hour demo of our technique and it fell to long suffering 2nd year student and all round inspirational guy to sit for it.

Jump in and drown kiddos!

Congratulations to the exhibitors of this year’s annual Charles H. Cecil Studios Summer Show at Il Palmerino - Un Volto e i suoi Sguardi V.

Here are some pics - mainly taken by - from the opening event this weekend. Thanks to all who attended - thanks to the the writers who came to interpret the work at our writers event the following day - grazie mille to Federica and all her team for inviting us back up to paradise for another year - and thanks to Charles, it’s great to see you back up at chez Vernon Lee!

A landscape painting day will be held this weekend. The show will be on and open to the public until Saturday 6th of June when we will most likely have another little party. See you there.

The third and final part of the ‘British School’ lectures. Gilbert leaves for Ireland and eventually home - two young Brits step in to dominate the Scottish North and London/Bath centric South and challenge the status quo with fresh - modern - takes on the now established pictorial language in a world of Romantic Enlightment, jostling Imperialism and looming Industrial Revolution. - 21/05/26

The second part of our exploration of the ‘British School’ of painters. An upstart from the ‘New World’ absorbs the lessons of the three biggest portrait painters in London-centric, 18th c. European Art and pushes the envelope towards contemporary portraiture by injecting a fresh perspective in the midst of global wars of independence and revolution: Gilbert Stuart. - 14/05/26

Portrait of .a.bel from a long time ago that I never posted because its kind of odd. But now it has its own soul in a way so here it is.

We resume the yearly lecture programme by beginning our exploration of the ‘British School’ of painters. We trace the stylistic stagnation of the fashionable manner of grand portraiture following the death of Van Dyck towards the end of the 17th century in Britain and reveal how the baton was to be taken up by 18th century (not only British) members of the new Enlightenment whose ground work would ensure the place of portrait painting in the DNA of British Art. The first part of a series of chronological lectures on this period.
