Leonardo

LEONARDO DA VINCI – Painter of the Court of Milan

This exhibition has received rave reviews and so many members completed a Declaration of Intent form from the May Bulletin that the coach on this date is FULL

Indeed, demand was such that another coach has been laid on for a separate visit to the exhibition on Saturday 7 January — and this coach is already FULL too!  All is not lost however: as there are two visits, there are bound to be cancellations nearer the time, and members may wish to join the existing small waiting list for either day. Just complete the booking form included with the August Bulletin and send it to Margaret Bell.

We travel cross-country today to see the Constable and Salisbury: the Soul of Landscape exhibition.

John Constable (1776-1837) made more paintings and drawings in and around Salisbury than any other area, apart from the Stour Valley.   Apart from the exhibition, there is much else of interest to see in the Salisbury & South Wilts Museum, including 3 magnificent Turner watercolours.

We shall combine this visit with a guided tour of Salisbury Cathedral.

The booking form was included with the February Bulletin.
