Our December talk will be particularly appropriate for the Festive Season. Angels, familiar and fantastic, playing major and minor roles, can be seen in centuries of paintings, engravings, illustrations and sculptures. Archangel Gabriel and the Annunciation or Archangel Michael fighting the good fight. Angelic references also abound in Islamic and Jewish traditions, the latter beautifully evoked in Chagall’s Bible Message. Time to contrast the beauty and light of cherubim and seraphim with the dark, fiery abyss of Satan and contemplate the Angel of the North. Caroline Holmes has lectured around the world often on cruises. Since 2017 she has been at the University of Cambridge as well as lecturing for the Royal Horticultural Society, museums and online for The Gardens Trust and organisations worldwide. She has written 12 books on subject such as Monet at Giverny and Impressionists in their Gardens.
Please note this is a change to our published programme due to our original speaker being unavailable.
All TASKL talks last about an hour and anyone is welcome to attend. They are free to TASKL members and guests can attend for £10 cash on the door. There is plenty of free parking and tea and coffee are available before the talk begins.
