About this Event
Course Outline
The first three parts of a new online series of lectures will focus on a diverse selection of extraordinary women. They are characters of eclectic taste, patrons and collectors of art, sculpture, botany, natural history and plants. Some of our women formed individual passions amongst these arts and sciences while others assembled collections of them all. They made gardens, grottoes, palaces, dairies, and created elaborate festivities with music and dance, sometimes with hidden political intent. In the first three parts, we will discover Isabella d’Este, Catherine de’ Medici and Margaret Bentinck, Duchess of Portland. We’ll assess their towering achievements, explore their astonishing lives and the legacies they’ve left us.
These three lectures can be booked together or as individual lectures below. More courses in the Women of Influence series will be announced soon.
