Renoir and the Women of Paris – GI 26 132

Women were his main source of inspiration, the eternal object of seduction, the living embodiment of art and beauty; his images represent Parisian society at the height of Impressionism. This course […]

Two Histories of the Bayeux Tapestry – GI 26 133
This activity has now sold out. Since its creation 950 years ago, The Bayeux Tapestry has never left France; this year, it will be on loan to the British Museum (10 September 2026 – 11 July 2027). No medieval artefact is remotely comparable to it - its almost intact survival is little short of miraculous. Nearly […]
