Explore the themes of luxury and leisure across paintings in the Gallery’s collection, and art more broadly, in this three-week course. Within Western art, luxury and leisure are deeply ambiguous concepts. Luxury is associated with pleasure and splendour, but also with corruption and excess. In the second session, we turn to leisure, considering works by Raphael, Van Dyck, Seurat and Sorolla.
