The Art of Laughter – Finding the Fun in the Dutch Baroque, lecture by Mariska Beekenkamp-Wladimiroff
Mariska will talk about comical paintings during the Dutch Golden Age.
Time for us the enjoy some of these Dutch Baroque paintings for what they are: funny! Join us as we spot people playing a trick on each other, girls falling asleep on the job, children being children, girls completely love sick, unexpected hidden scenes of bare bottoms, people partying and having fun, dogs peeing in churches and more!
Mariska is founder and director of Art Historical London. She has MA in Art History and specialised in art of the 17th Century Dutch Baroque.
The lecture is FREE to Friends of PSAD members.
