Just to say that I'm giving a talk at St Margaret's, Westminster Abbey on Thursday 19th February. I'll be exploring the Abbey's important role in the development of British art, as well as focusing on the important part it plays in two of our most celebrated paintings: the Wilton Diptych and Holbein's Ambassadors.
The talk will start at 7pm, and you can get tickets here. Hope to see some of you there!
