Celebrate the Festival of Archaeology with an insightful and engaging tour led by Dr Andrew Lane, exploring how artists have drawn inspiration from archaeological discoveries in their depictions of the classical world.
From ancient myths and legends to historic events and ruined landscapes, the past has long captivated artistic imagination. With the rise of modern archaeological practice in the 19th century, artists began to incorporate increasing levels of detail and realism into their work. This fascinating tour reveals how art and archaeology intersect, bringing history vividly to life.
