[PAST EVENT] Lecture: "The European Grand Tour"
April 11, 2011
4pm
This lecture on "The European Grand Tour" will study the manner in which young Englishmen toured major European countries like France and Italy in order to gain an understanding of other cultures and their art forms. The journeys frequently resulted in the transfer of tastes in art and architecture from continental Europe to Britain.
