The Courtauld works to advance how we see and understand the visual arts, as an internationally-renowned centre for the teaching, research of art history and a major public gallery. Founded in the 1930s, the organisation has been at the forefront of developing the study of art ever since.
The Courtauld cares for one of the greatest art collections in the UK, displayed at The Courtauld Gallery in Somerset House, central London. Academically, The Courtauld faculty is the largest community of art historians and conservators in the UK, and offers a range of degree programmes in the History of Art, curating and the conservation of easel and wall paintings.
The Courtauld Gallery is currently closed and will reopen in 2021 - the first stage an ambitious transformation programme that will make The Courtauld’s world-class artworks, research and teaching accessible to even more people.
Can we have more Bill presenting please. Just anything. And there's a strong chance you will bump into Bill, as he's often out and about. I saw him once sitting outside a cafe in central London, not hidden away but relaxing there out the front of a cafe. Gave me a nice friendly smile. I will be visiting the Courtauld, because of Bill.
I'm grateful to Mr Night for showing us this gallery. It's the only way I will ever be able to catch a glimpse of beautiful are Work from centuries past. So much in my life I've Missed. Too late to travel. Thank you. 🇺🇲🙏🇬🇧
I love these works that look so simple at a glance, "it's just a barmaid at a bar" until an expert points out these little details that make you go "ahhhhhh". Nice vídeo!
A wonderful advertisement for the gallery by a true English gentleman. So enjoyable. I will definitely make time to visit the next time I am in London.
Forgive my ignorance but would anyone be kind enough to enlighten me as to the music composer and piece. My dearly departed father used to play this on the record player on a Sunday after a round of golf. It brings back fond memories.
Hello! This was not a video about Bill Nighy! These paintings were a direct rejection of the classical style. They are rough, sometimes I’ll conceived. Other times applications seemed rough and amateurish. It these artists did not represent the “ ideal”. They were interpreting life as they saw it, not as an academic representation. It was a time of daring exploration. Mr. Nighy alert us to them but never delves into their creations nor their creators. Most of us. Art lovers know about these painters and the works. Sadly this was an advert for the museum. Did he state where the Courtald is. What city?
