About

Inspired by the vibrant and poetic colour in our exhibition 'Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers', take a mindful pause to contemplate the saturated hues in an Italian Renaissance painting.  Bringing mindfulness approaches to looking closely at one picture, explore the sensory and emotive experience of painted colour, perhaps moving beyond narratives into deeper connection and appreciation.
