Course description

Our next Saturday Study event takes place on 26 November and accompanies The Courtauld Gallery exhibition Fuseli and the Modern Woman: Fashion, Fantasy, Fetishism.

Our event begins with a brief critical overview of the life and work of one of British Romantic art’s most unusual figures, the Swiss-born painter and draughtsman Henry Fuseli (1741-1825).

With exhibition curators Professor David Solkin and Dr Ketty Gottardo we’ll then try to make sense of Fuseli’s private and highly inventive drawings of the ‘modern woman’, by considering their relationship to previous and contemporary figure studies.

Booking required; the event fee for on-campus attendance includes admission to the exhibition Fuseli and the Modern Woman: Fashion, Fantasy, Fetishism

Booking is now closed for the on campus day, but remains open for the online recording
