How to watch

This lecture starts on 2 March at 5:00pm (UK).

Summary

A blissful presentation on the recent exhibition at the National Gallery in London of Van Gogh, which attempts a fresh view of his work that breaks to some extent with the traditional view of him as a tragic and doomed figure. It is an exhibition from which the visitor emerges exhilarated and full of joy.
