About
In the final days of ‘Parmigianino: The Vision of Saint Jerome’, revisit this exhibition with art historian Richard Stemp. Look again at ‘The Madonna and Child with Saints’ while it hangs in its special exhibition to celebrate its return to public display.
In this reflective online session, Richard explores the themes and the works of the exhibition. Follow the story of how Parmigianino went from child prodigy to famed painter. Hear Richard's expert insights on how Parmigianino drew chalk studies and pen and ink sketches to develop his visionary masterpiece.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions and share your own reflections at this online Members’ talk.
