Equestrian Portrait of Charles I
About
Join Katy Tarbard for an audio-described talk on an Equestrian Portrait of Charles I by Anthony van Dyck.
Through words and music, composed and performed by cellist Nina Plapp especially for our session, we will explore a portrait of a man intent on portraying power and control and discover how both would ultimately slip from his hands.
The talk is held in Room 21, seated in front of the painting. Please meet in Room 21 or meet 15 minutes before the start of the talk at the Getty Entrance to be guided to the room. Guide dogs and assistance dogs are welcome.
To discuss any additional access requirements, please email: education@nationalgallery.org.uk
