The Lecture

Writer and arts journalist Dr Tim Smith-Laing will be taking us on a journey from the worlds of Pliny and Tertullian to Dutch flower painting. Focusing in on Abraham Mignon's seventeenth-century painting ‘The Overturned Bouquet,’ the lecture will look at the secret and not-so-secret messages of early modern still-life, and the meaning of realism in a world of surface, spectacle, and show. 

Our guest speaker

A book reviewer at The Telegraph, Dr Tim Smith-Laing has also written widely on art and books for publications including The Literary ReviewApollo, frieze, and 1843. Prior to leaving academia in 2014, he took a DPhil in late medieval and early modern mythography, and spent three years as a lecturer in literature at Jesus College, Oxford. In addition to his Latin Programme teaching, he is a regular lecturer at the Royal Academy of the Arts, where he has given lectures on subjects ranging from the self-portrait through to the history of the labyrinth.
