Online Talk by Gareth Williams.
Art Unlocked is an online event series brought to you by Art UK in collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies.
About
Join Art UK and Gareth Williams, Curator & Head of Learning at Weston Park, for an exciting exploration of some notable works from this collection. In this talk you will find out how today Weston Park’s important art collection is located in a rural English country house, on the Shropshire/ Staffordshire border, but its core works were originally housed in London until 1735.
Art Unlocked is delivered over Zoom Webinar and can be accessed via the event page once you have registered. There will be a short Q&A session after the talk.
The talk is free but there is the option to donate to Weston Park alongside your ticket. Any donations are much appreciated.
About Weston Park
Weston Park’s great art collection comprises the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century painting collections amassed in London by Francis 1st Earl of Bradford of the first creation and his younger son, Thomas, Lord Torrington. To this, each successive generation has added further works, including portraits, Grand Tour acquisitions and a remarkable group of sporting works collected by the 3rd Earl of Bradford. The collection also includes a notable group of sculptures, including works by Lorenzo Bartolini and Peter Hollins.
You can follow Weston Park on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
