Arthistory
One of two courses delivered by Rosemarie Devereux is still on the schedule at Whale Theatre.
‘The Story of Europe - Painting History’ is due to start on Thursday, October 29, at 10.30 a.m. and will take place each Thursday morning until December 3. ‘The Visual Story of Ireland’ was due to start earlier in the month and has been postponed.
‘The Story of Europe’ gives an overview of the main artistic movements that occurred throughout Europe between 1400 and 2000 that not only defined how art was produced but also provided the lasting imagery behind Europe’s most influential rulers – royal, religious and republican – as well as the philosophies upon which their rule depended.
Topics will include the story of the renaissance – magnificence and display in Italy, painting the ordinary and the everyday of the Dutch golden age, modernism – how America finally overcame Europe, and the paintings that rocked the world and changed art.
Rosemarie recently attended UCD as a mature student from where she graduated with a BA Hons in Irish studies and art history.
Each course of six classes costs €100, or it’s €20 per class. Places must be booked at least 24 hours in advance.
