Artist: Paolo Uccello
A docent-led reading of Paolo Uccello's panel of the Battle of San Romano, painted for Leonardo Bartolini Salimbeni and later seized by Lorenzo de' Medici. The tour starts with the action, then follows lances, landscape, heraldry and the gaps in the record.
Artist: Fra Angelico and Fra Filippo Lippi
A round Renaissance painting of the three kings presenting their homage to the Christ Child, attributed to Fra Angelico and Fra Filippo Lippi and now in the National Gallery of Art, Washington. This docent tour traces the subject, the round format, and the object's documented history, including its changing attributions over four centuries.
Artist: Piet Mondrian
An abstract, non-narrative painting from Mondrian's late career, held in the collection context of the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag and photographed there during a 2017 exhibition. This tour explains what the supplied evidence establishes and where interpretation is absent.
Artist: Raphael
A gallery reading of Raphael's Transfiguration at Dulwich Picture Gallery, tracing the split between Christ's glory above and the possessed boy below, with the historical and material record kept in the reference notes.
Artist: Gustav Klimt
Gustav Klimt's second portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer sets a still, formal figure against a field of patterns and motifs. This short gallery tour looks at what the painting shows, how its composition is built, and why the sitter's identity as a Vienna patron matters to its meaning.
Artist: Claude Monet
A docent-led reading of Claude Monet's 1894 painting of Rouen Cathedral's west façade in sunlight, made during his cathedral series and now in the National Gallery of Art. The account distinguishes what is visible from what is documented.
