About
Join acclaimed art historianAndrew Graham-Dixon for a revelatory talk on his groundbreaking new biography, Vermeer: A Life Lost and Found.
Drawing on newly uncovered archival material from Delft, Rotterdam, and beyond, Graham-Dixon offers a dramatic reassessment of Johannes Vermeernot as the isolated genius of legend, but as a painter deeply embedded in the radical, intellectual, and political life of the Dutch Golden Age.
In this richly illustrated talk, he will reveal Vermeers hitherto unknown friendships, his ties to a radical underground movement, and the powerful women who shaped both his private life and career. Alongside these startling biographical insights, Graham-Dixon presents fresh interpretations of beloved masterpieces, including Girl with a Pearl Earring, A View of Delft, The Milkmaid, and Woman Reading a Letter - recasting them in a bold new light.
Includes an interval with bar; plus a book signing and chance to meet Andrew.
Andrew Graham-Dixon is an art historian, biographer and broadcaster who has made more BBC television series about art than any other presenter. He was for many years the main art critic of the Sunday Telegraph and Independent. His Caravaggio: A Life Sacred and Profane (2011) was shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize and has been translated into seven languages.
